Here's a look at theScore's sample DFS lineups for Week 4 of the NFL season (Thursday night and Sunday morning games excluded):
Cash Game Without FLEX
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Andrew Luck (IND) | vs. JAC |
| RB | Latavius Murray (OAK) | at CHI |
| RB | Melvin Gordon (SD) | vs. CLE |
| WR | Jordan Matthews (PHI) | at WAS |
| WR | Donte Moncrief (IND) | vs. JAC |
| WR | Amari Cooper (OAK) | at CHI |
| TE | Greg Olsen (CAR) | at TB |
| K | Chandler Catanzaro (ARI) | vs. STL |
| D/ST | Cardinals | vs. STL |
Luck is in great position for a major bounceback with the woeful Jaguars in town; pairing him with Moncrief offers more savings than a Luck-T.Y. Hilton combo. This could very well be Gordon's breakout week, facing a truly rotten Browns run defense at home. The Cardinals are clearly one of the top D/ST options as they host the scuffling Rams. -- James Bisson

| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Derek Carr (OAK) | at CHI |
| RB | Melvin Gordon (SD) | vs. CLE |
| RB | Arian Foster (HOU) | at ATL |
| WR | Julio Jones (ATL) | vs. HOU |
| WR | Amari Cooper (OAK) | at CHI |
| WR | Sammy Watkins (BUF) | vs. NYG |
| TE | Martellus Bennett (CHI) | vs. OAK |
| K | Brandon McManus (DEN) | vs. MIN |
| D/ST | Packers | vs. SF |
The total cost of Carr and Cooper make them an excellent stack option for a very appealing matchup. Gordon and Foster - if he plays - have two of the top running back matchups of the week. Bennett also has a plus matchup this weekend against a Raiders team that has already surrendered five touchdowns to tight ends this season. -- Esten McLaren
Cash Game With FLEX
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Tyrod Taylor (BUF) | vs. NYG |
| RB | Melvin Gordon (SD) | vs. CLE |
| RB | Frank Gore (IND) | vs. JAX |
| WR | Julio Jones (ATL) | vs. HOU |
| WR | A.J. Green (CIN) | vs. KC |
| WR | Randall Cobb (GB) | at SF |
| TE | Kyle Rudolph (MIN) | at DEN |
| FLEX | Karlos Williams (BUF) | vs. NYG |
| D/ST | Cardinals | vs. STL |
"T-Mobile" is for real and has a high floor due to his rushing abilities. It looks like LeSean McCoy will sit out to rest his hamstring and let impressive rookie RB Williams handle duties vs. a terrible front-seven. Teddy Bridgewater will look to Rudolph all day with his WRs being shut down by Denver's CBs. This allows you to spend on the three safest WRs. -- Josh Wegman
GPP With FLEX
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Derek Carr (OAK) | at CHI |
| RB | Joseph Randle (DAL) | at NO |
| RB | Jonathan Stewart (CAR) | at TB |
| WR | Odell Beckham Jr. (NYG) | at BUF |
| WR | Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) | vs. STL |
| WR | Amari Cooper (OAK) | at CHI |
| TE | Martellus Bennett (CHI) | vs. OAK |
| FLEX | Gary Barnidge (CLE) | at SD |
| D/ST | Cardinals | vs. STL |
The main component of this lineup is the burgeoning relationship between Carr and Cooper; they're going up against a listless Bears defense and are poised for their third-straight game of DFS magic. Randle and Stewart anchor the run game with undervalued RBs against bad run defenses. All those savings let you splurge on ODB and Fitzgerald. -- Andrew Potter
