Building winning GPP lineups, by definition, is tough. There are, however, some key things to look for when filling out your roster. First and foremost is ceiling, we want the players with potential to score the most points. Next is leverage; we want the players that fall through the cracks. Finally, we have to build a lineup that tells a winning story through game script and stacking.

A final note before diving into the picks. Don’t ignore the Cash Picks article put out by Julia Papworth. Her article pairs perfectly with my GPP picks, as it’s typically a good idea to mix in some value plays, especially if they fit the GPP-winning story you write.
Quarterbacks
Josh Allen vs. KC – $8,900
With the highest over/under on the slate (52.5) and two of the league’s superstar QBs at play, this is going to be a popular game. I won’t argue against stacking up Patrick Mahomes ($8,500), but according to the optimizer, he projects to be the most popular QB on the slate. Instead, I’ll take the leverage with Josh Allen, who comes with just as much ceiling and a significantly lower roster percentage. His stacking partners are also significantly cheaper than Mahomes’, though given his rushing upside and inconsistent pass catchers, you can also play Allen naked.
