Here's a look at theScore's sample DFS lineups for Week 2 of the NFL season (Thursday game excluded):

Cash Game Without FLEX

POS NAME OPP
QB Carson Palmer (ARI) at CHI
RB DeAngelo Williams (PIT) vs. SF
RB Chris Johnson (ARI) at CHI
WR Julio Jones (ATL) at NYG
WR Odell Beckham Jr. (NYG) vs. ATL
WR Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) at CHI
TE Tyler Eifert (CIN) vs. SD
K Josh Brown (NYG) vs. ATL
D/ST Miami Dolphins at JAC

Veterans dominate this cash game lineup, with short-term starters like Williams and Johnson providing cheaper high-usage options. Those savings allow for two of the most explosive receivers in the league and one of Week 2's top defenses in the Dolphins. -- Andrew Potter

GPP Without FLEX

POS NAME OPP
QB Drew Brees (NO) vs. TB
RB Jeremy Hill (CIN) vs. SD
RB Shane Vereen (NYG) vs. ATL
WR Julio Jones (ATL) at NYG
WR Brandin Cooks (NO) vs. TB
WR Cole Beasley (DAL) at PHI
TE Vernon Davis (SF) at PIT
K Dan Carpenter (BUF) vs. NE
D/ST Cleveland Browns vs. TEN

The Saints are a force to be reckoned with at the Superdome, while Beasley could be a sneaky value play with Dez Bryant injured. Vereen should see plenty of targets in a potential shootout, while Davis is a bargain against a Steelers team that doesn't defend TEs well. -- Josh Wegman

Cash Game With FLEX

POS NAME OPP
QB Carson Palmer (ARI) at CHI
RB Justin Forsett (BAL) at OAK
RB Mark Ingram (NO) vs. TB
WR Antonio Brown (PIT) vs. SF
WR Jordan Matthews (PHI) vs. DAL
WR Stevie Johnson (SD) at CIN
TE Jordan Reed (WAS) vs. STL
FLEX Bishop Sankey (TEN) at CLE
D/ST Baltimore Ravens at OAK

Value is the name of the game here, with Palmer looking at a great matchup and Forsett and Ingram capable of racking up yards on the ground and through the air. Sankey should have a field day against the Cleveland "run defense", while the Ravens are a strong play in Oakland. -- James Bisson

GPP With FLEX

POS NAME.OPP
QB Matt Ryan (ATL) at NYG
RB Mark Ingram (NO) vs. TB
RB Latavius Murray (OAK) vs. BAL
WR Stedman Bailey (STL) at WAS
WR Odell Beckham Jr. (NYG) vs. ATL
WR Julio Jones (ATL) at NYG
TE Zach Ertz (PHI) vs. DAL
FLEX Cole Beasley (DAL) at PHI
D/ST St. Louis Rams at WAS

Ryan and Jones will continue to be the best stack option against another porous defense. Beckham's ownership will be down following a disappointing Week 1. Ingram is underpriced after proving his capability in the passing game, and both he and Murray face excellent matchups. -- Esten McLaren
