The FanDuel cash plays brought to us by The Fantasy Football Ghost last week paid off in a big way, he looks to continue that dominance into Week 7! Week 6 brought us the good fortunes we missed out on the prior two weeks with one of the best cumulative performances from the week’s identified players. All but one player went over 3.4 times value,…...

Last week saw the first hiccup in cash games on the season. I cashed about half of my head-to-heads but did not get to the cash line in double-ups. Tournaments also did not go well, and it resulted from one late change. The Jay Glazer report that Tyreek Hill would be rotated in moved me off of him and onto Kupp in most spots, and that…...

Utilizing RotoViz’s suite of creative tools, metrics, and filterable stats (all of which just keep getting better!), I unearthed 14 key stats to help you crush your Week 7 NFL DFS lineups.

Large-field GPPs are primarily won in three key areas: 1) player projections, 2) roster construction, and 3) ownership. Groupthink can run rampant through the fantasy football grapevines and cause DFSers to concentrate on just one scenario in a player’s possible range of outcomes. What was once a good play in a vacuum can become sub-optimal as chalk. And what may feel thin at first may actually be…...

Welcome to the Thursday Night Showdown Breakdown. This article will focus on DraftKings GPPs, but some insights here may also apply to cash games. After two straight losses, the Chiefs find themselves with their backs against the wall. Mile High Stadium is one of the tougher road environments in the league, and I’m sure the Broncos would love to pull off the upset against their…...

Tyler Loechner runs through notes on the primetime short slate featuring SNF/MNF games.((An important note: I’m writing this column with tournaments and GPPs top of mind.

Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity — that’s what fantasy football is all about. Each week I utilize our GLSP projections to find the best DFS values from a dollar-per-opportunity perspective with a focus on Yahoo! DFS. The chalky plays hit in a big way last week, although on Yahoo! the prices for those breakout players weren’t as soft as they were on DraftKings. This week there’s a…...

The Fantasy Football Ghost brings us four more players to target in FanDuel cash plays for Week 6! Week 5 was another mess: traditionally strong teams under-performed such as the Rams, Bears, Chiefs and Cowboys. As such, fantasy outcomes suffered similarly. The players I identified last week only managed to claw to 1.91-times value, again short of the 2.5-times mark we’ve set for ourselves in…...

When I’m looking into the DFS slate each week, I like to go game by game and identify players or situations that intrigue me. In every game, on every team, there’s a situation that’s relevant for DFS purposes, for either a positive or negative reason. These situations help us understand how we should attack each slate. Arizona Cardinals Spread: +2.5 vs Atlanta | Total: 51 Kyler…...

Welcome back for week 6. Fortunately, we saw Week 5 get us to 5-for-5 in cash on the season, but it was a rough week for tournaments. This week projected to be better for tournaments as we have specific games to attack unlike last week, and there are some juicy standalone plays in the lesser games. Top Games Falcons at Cardinals At the time of…...

Welcome to the Thursday Night Showdown Breakdown. This article will focus on DraftKings GPPs, but some insights here may also apply to cash games.

Identifying my Week 5 NFL DFS picks was easier than it’s ever been thanks to the continued work of our apps development team.

The Fantasy Football Ghost has identified several excellent values for us in his FanDuel cash plays for Week 5! I wish we could celebrate this week with how well we all did in Week 4, but not only was I surprised with how horribly most games turned out, but so, it seems, were large swathes of the football and fantasy world. Case Keenum got benched…...

This is an odd main slate for DFS purposes in the sense that every single game’s betting total is under 50 points, meaning there isn’t a game that will create chalk exposures. The fact of the matter is we don’t have the absolutely lucrative games to attack this week the way we have the past couple of weeks, particularly for our cash lineups. What we do have…...
