Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Rams
| Team | QB | RB | Left | Slot | Right | TE | D | K | Vegas | |
| Buffalo Bills | 49 | 44 | 66 | 54 | 55 | 49 | 55 | 59 | -2.5 | |
| @ | Los Angeles Rams | 45 | 48 | 58 | 55 | 46 | 40 | 40 | 44 | 52 |
Captain
- Allen Robinson – The majority of the field will be using either Josh Allen or Cooper Kupp as their captain, but I prefer to go cheaper with Robinson which allows my Cash lineup to have Kupp, Allen, and Stefon Diggs in it at Flex.
Cash Core
- Josh Allen – While I don’t have Allen as Captain, he is a must for any Cash game lineup with his high floor due to his passing and rushing ability.
- Cooper Kupp – Much like Allen, Kupp is a must to be included in Cash game lineups. That said, I have him only as a Flex since the Bills have a good pass defense and the addition of Robinson gives more target competition.
- Isiah McKenzie – McKenzie is the value option that helps make it all work. He is expected to be starting in the slot in a role that saw Cole Beasley reel in 82 receptions in each of the last two seasons.
GPP
In a single entry GPP, I want a balanced lineup split between the two teams using both QBs and a pair of pass catchers from each team. My current build has Matthew Stafford as the Captain and by passes both Stefon Diggs and Cooper Kupp in favor of secondary receiving options.
