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.
For a deeper dive into GPP strategy, stay locked into the DFS and Betting Podcast.
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.
Note: Due to Thanksgiving and Black Friday games, in addition to the usual Sunday Night and Monday Night matchups, there are fewer options than usual. It’s more important than ever to check out the Cash Picks article and consider building a GPP lineup with more of those options mixed in while trying to differentiate in a few spots.
Quarterbacks
Justin Herbert vs. LV – $8,300
Things were ugly last time we saw Herbert and the Chargers, as they were rolled by the Jaguars in Week 11. They should be able to bounce back as 9.5-point home favorites against the Raiders coming off the bye week. Even after throwing just 18 passes in that blowout in Jacksonville, Herbert is still averaging the fifth most pass attempts/game (34.2), and the Chargers’ 3.9% PROE is fourth highest in the league. Even if Omarion Hampton returns, the Chargers are likely to ease him in and continue attacking through the air against a Raiders team that ranks 20th in defensive dropback EPA.
