Last week’s slate was unique, with so many great running back plays to choose from. Most teams played three running backs, even in large-field contests. In small-field tournaments, almost every team played both D’Ernest Johnson and Mark Ingram. Just having the Josh Allen–Stefon Diggs stack in that environment was enough to get you close to the top of the leaderboard. This week looks like another slate…...

DFS is primarily a numbers game based on three levers: 1) Player Projections, 2) Percent Rostered, and 3) Roster Construction. Depending on your contest selection (cash, small-field GPP, large-field GPP), you will need to pull these three levers to different degrees. In GPPs, we focus on ceiling projection, roster percentage, and correlation. In GPP tournaments, we don’t need the highest possible score. Rather, we just…...

Sammy Choudhury looks back at the week that was to find the top plays on the DraftKings main slate and figure out how we could have seen these performances coming. They say hindsight is 20/20, but they rarely tell you how to benefit from it. In this weekly article, I’ll look back at the DraftKings main slate from the previous week to highlight the top…...

Blair Andrews uses expected points and the Weekly GLSP app to find the best possible plays for DraftKings single-entry tournaments. Single-entry GPPs are the purest form of daily fantasy sports. If you aren’t playing in single-entry GPPs, you can never really know your true DFS skill level. Yes, it takes skill to construct a winning cash lineup. And it takes skill to construct an entire…...

Last week was a crazy week in the NFL with all the upsets. As we move into Week 10, it is again looking like a big slate for news, and for backup players being thrust into starting roles. When it comes to slates like these — and I can’t stress this enough — do not get set on any certain lineup until we have all…...

Michael Dubner reviews his FanDuel cash game results at the mid-point of the 2021 NFL season.  As I continue to focus more on GPPs — you can read my weekly Leverage “Do The Opposite” article here on RotoViz — my goal is to primarily use cash game winnings to fuel my GPP entries. Cash games are much harder now than they used to be. With…...

Welcome to Week 9. It seems like this week could be one of the biggest news slates of the seasons. Aaron Rodgers is out due to a positive COVID test. That game would have been the best game on the slate. The total dropped 7.5 points following the Rodgers news. We also are waiting to hear if Christian McCaffrey ($8000) will make his return this…...

The NFL season is flying by. Last week Cooper Kupp ($9000) and Ja’Marr Chase ($7500) were the guys breaking the slate, just like they have done many times this season. Now they are priced up, so it makes it tougher to play them than in previous weeks. Kupp started the season at $6000 and is now averaging 27 PPR points per game, which would be…...

Bye weeks are hitting the NFL hard in Week 7. With the Bills, Cowboys, Vikings, Steelers, Chargers, and Jaguars on a bye this week, we find ourselves missing a plethora of high-profile fantasy players, making this a very interesting slate. Like last week, it is looking thin at first glance. Similar to last week, though, we are going to see some good plays at running…...
