We will see a large chunk of the field playing “cash” lineups in small-field tournaments. This presents a unique opportunity to play a lineup you would expect to see in a larger field tournament. Even if you hit the right stack in a large field tournament, it may not be enough even to hit the cash line because all of the other players in that…...

Justin Herrera uses the RotoViz tools to bring you the top plays and some under-the-radar options for the FanDuel main slate.  This weekly article is a deep dive into some guys with exploitable matchups, something to prove, or who are just great deals on FanDuel. The goal is always to help you win money on a week-to-week basis. Barring that, at least you can have…...

We have another 10-game slate on tap for Week 10. This week some more value has opened up at wide receiver with Tee Higgins and Nico Collins set to miss this week. This slate also has no Dolphins, Chiefs, or Eagles, leaving things wide open at quarterback. This week does have quite a few games with decent totals, which should help spread out the game stack…...

This slate will be one of the tougher slates of the year. Backup quarterbacks are going to be the story of the slate. The highest over/under is 47. The only glaring value that has opened up due to injury is Devin Singletary ($4300), with Dameon Pierce out. The chalk plays this week seem substantially more fragile than usual. This should be an incredible slate for…...

Each week in this space, I review my DraftKings lineup that I enter into a small-field contest to see what we can learn from the process that went into building that lineup. You can be right about key decision points on the slate and still lose because you did not have the correct roster construction that week or you faded one critical play. That makes…...

We are going from a 10-game slate to a 13-game slate with no teams on bye in Week 8. This means we should have a lot more plays to sift through and with that more levers to pull and ways to get unique. The chalk won’t be as condensed as it is on a 10 or 11-game slate. No games look to be the game…...

This week we have six teams on bye, giving us a 10-game slate and making things much tighter. We do not have a plethora of values at the running back position in the $6K range like we have had in previous weeks either. This is going to be a challenging slate with tough decisions to make at nearly every position. These slates are fun because…...

The bye weeks have arrived, which means fewer games and plays to sift through, and the slate will be a little tighter. Once again, we will be forced to choose between Tyreek Hill ($9000) and Justin Jefferson ($9400). We only have two $8K quarterbacks to decide between: Patrick Mahomes ($8200) and Jalen Hurts ($8000). There is no Christian McCaffrey on this slate, so the highest-priced…...

Welcome back to the series! In the previous installment, we dissected the strategies for Week 4 of the 2023 NFL season using k-means clustering. If you missed it, you could catch up here. This week we made major upgrades to the analysis. Methodology (In-Brief) Aggregated projections from six sources for the first five weeks Collected the actual results of the first four weeks. Collected information…...

Unfortunately, from a real football perspective, the slate yesterday was filled with blowouts. We did see some great fantasy games from a number of players. Most of these players projected for high-ownership in DraftKings DFS. For a contrarian player like myself, that was not great news. Christian McCaffrey ($9200) scored 51.70 DraftKings points — a full 21 points above the next highest-scoring running back on…...
