Blair Andrews presents expected points market shares and the Weekly GLSP team totals to help you find the best tournament plays on DraftKings for Week 16.

Using Expected Points in DFS

One of the best indicators of future fantasy scoring is past expected points. Expected points are the best way to translate opportunity into potential fantasy output. Opportunity is sticky from one week to the next. Efficiency isn’t.
