The SEC West could be all but decided Saturday. Christian McCaffrey Panthers Jersey .Seems like a strong statement, but with three games involving ranked teams it is possible for the leader of the division to exit this weekend with essentially a two-game lead on all the closest contenders with three games to play.The leader will be determined in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, when the top-ranked Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) faces No. 6 Texas A&M (6-0, 4-0). The winner will be the only undefeated team left in the Southeastern Conference and the loser will need the winner to lose twice to have a chance to win the West. Not impossible, but any plan that involves Alabama losing two of its last three SEC games seems like a bad plan.Elsewhere in the SEC West, No. 23 Mississippi (3-3, 1-2) is at No. 25 LSU (4-2, 2-1) and No. 17 Arkansas (1-2, 5-2) travels to No. 21 Auburn (4-2, 2-1). If the two Tigers take a second conference loss, the winner of A&M-Alabama will be in total command -- and there will still be more than a week until Halloween.The picks:THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTSBYU (plus 7) at No. 14 Boise StateResume game for the Broncos as they eye a New Years Six bowl bid ...

Russo at www.Twitter.com/ralphDrussoAP Daeshon Hall Panthers Jersey . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Stephen Curry Panthers Jersey . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. http://www.footballpanthersstore.us/Black-Friday-Harrison-Butker-Jersey/ . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. Monday brings us a healthy slate of games with 18 teams in action. That means there are myriad ways to construct your lineups with high-priced stars and affordable value plays. Our experts are here to help you decide whom to use and fade.Todays panel includes ESPN Fantasys Kyle Soppe and Joe Kaiser, plus DFS expert Renee Miller.Players to build aroundKyle Soppe -- John Wall, Washington WizardsI gave him to you on Thursday with promises of a double-double, and he delivered with 23 points and 11 dimes! Given the time of year, Im thankful for him producing at the level that the numbers suggested possible, and Im going right back to it. Wall is a top-five player in terms of usage this season, a trend that Ill take to the bank against a Suns team that operates at the leagues fastest pace. Wall is a tough cover on the perimeter, and with him shooting 48.1 percent ... fuhgedaboutit. The Wizards are averaging 106.4 points over their last seven games, and if that trend continues, Wall is worth every penny tonight.Joe Kaiser -- Kevin Durant, Golden State WarriorsPaul George has already been ruled out for tonights game against the Warriors, leaving Glenn Robinson III to fill in, and that creates an opportunity for Durant to put up huge numbers. Its a night with several tantalizingly low-priced options, such as Robinson, Phoenix center Alan Williams and Dallas point guard Deron Williams, but I think theres a good chance all three could under-perform. Instead, Im paying up for Durant.Renee Miller -- Affordable wing: Josh Richardson, Miami Heat, and/or Glenn Robinson III, Indiana PacersOn big slates with a lot of star power, I often choose to start building my lineups around affordable players in good situations. I expected a better second start from Robinson last night, and he delivered in a big way in an overtime win over the Thunder. Tonights contest is another fast-paced, high-scoring affair with the visiting Warriors, and I think Robinson will have no problem exceeding value with George out again. Richardson has been terrific over the past three games in a utility role for the Heat, and theres no reason to expect him to slow down tonight. He gets a top matchup with Philadelphia, wheree he should enjoy a bump in pace and little resistance from the field. Harrison Butker Youth Jersey. Pairing these guys with top options like James Harden, Hassan Whiteside or Durant makes for a high-upside, but less-risky lineup than we might otherwise end up with.Players to fadeKyle Soppe -- DeMar DeRozan, Toronto RaptorsDeRozan has ascended into the elite class of scorers, and that is no fluke, but I want no part of him tonight. The Raptors are traveling and on a back-to-back; a rough combination that gets even more unappealing when you consider that the Clippers are among the most efficient defenses in basketball this season. Guards are shooting under 40 percent against the Clips this season, and even if DeRozan exceeds that mark, it is difficult to see him approaching the 50 percent plateau that hes been at for most of the season. Since the beginning of last season, DeRozan has topped 10 assist-plus-rebounds less than 20 percent of the time, so if his scoring stroke isnt there, youre looking at a poor investment. Look for DeRozan to continue to do big things for the Drakes this season, but dont count on him carrying your Monday DFS roster.Joe Kaiser -- Eric Gordon, Houston RocketsGordon has put up some decent numbers lately, but Detroit poses too great of a challenge to pay more than $5,000 for Gordon. The Pistons enter Monday ranked No. 7 in defensive efficiency and have a wiry athlete in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who can use his length to harass Gordon all night. Im going with other options at shooting guard. Even someone like the red-hot Nik Stauskas has a good chance to out-produce Gordon at a fraction of the cost.Renee Miller -- John Wall, Washington WizardsThe Wall fade for me is all about price and a different spending plan on tonights busy slate. Walls numbers reflect a high floor but also a relatively low ceiling, given his salary is among the top two priciest among point guards on both sites. I feel like I can get similar production for less with Kyle Lowry or Jeff Teague tonight and would prefer to spend up at other positions, like forward or center.
