Some teams have so many weapons that it becomes a problem in its own right. For example, if the Seattle Seahawks have a nice matchup and you want to take advantage, you use Marshawn Lynch. Maybe Russell Wilson, too, but it's not like there are seven different players who are safe bets to score a touchdown.
Fantasy football advice Week 14: Loading up on one team in FanDuel
A great offense plays a bad defense this week. And I’m taking advantage, one way or another. Or another. Or another.Click here to use FanDuel promo code SBNATION9, get 100% deposit bonus

But if you see that the Denver Broncos have a cushy matchup, what do you do? Do you invest in Demaryius Thomas? Julius Thomas? Emmanuel Sanders, C.J. Anderson, Connor Barth? Sure, Peyton Manning, but after that, you could get the matchup right and still whiff on exactly which player or players get to take advantage.
So this week, in filling out my FanDuel lineups, I covered my bases. See, the Atlanta Falcons' defense is bad, and it's even worse on the road. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are ... well, let's say high powered. But if I choose a lineup centered on Aaron Rodgers and, say, Eddie Lacy, I could still miss out on the production by the receivers. It's the same if I pair Rodgers with Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, what-have-you. And it wouldn't make sense to use all of them - too expensive, for one, but also it would completely destroy any upside.
So I found a workaround this week. I used ‘em all.
Some weeks, you see a situation you just have to capitalize on. For me, it looks obvious that the Packers should beat up on the Falcons in a home game. I suppose there’s an outside chance the Falcons have a huge game, or Rodgers gets hurt, or some craziness happens, and I’ve put too many eggs in the Green Bay basket, but ultimately, I feel safer about the Packers’ offense this week than I do about just about any matchup any week. So I’m running with these three entries in one tournament, and hopes are high.
(Which, of course, means a rushing touchdown for James Starks and a receiving one for Andrew Quarless. But whaddyagonnado?)
