Week 2 DraftKings DFS Targets
TJ Calkins
September 13, 2019
Welcome back for Week 2. We did a pretty great job of identifying the proper plays in Week 1 and everyone should have been quite profitable with the core of players offered.

NFL FanDuel Week 2: What The Lineup Optimizer Is Telling Us To Do in GPPs
Michael Dubner
September 13, 2019
GPPs are primarily won in three key areas: 1) player projections, 2) roster construction, and 3) ownership.

What was once a good play in a vacuum can become sub-optimal as chalk. And what may feel thin at first may…...
