There’s nothing quite like NFL DFS, with a new sweat every week. Some may view the game as just a hobby, while others use it as a meaningful source of income to help build their bankroll week to week. Whatever your goal may be, it’s important to set benchmarks and track your progress throughout the season to ensure your process is sound.
One of the easiest ways to become a profitable DFS player and maximize your ROI is through contest selection and entering tournaments best suited to your strengths. Cash games are a great way to double your entry fee, playing the best median projected lineup while only needing to beat a little over half of the field. With that said, if you’re looking for an even bigger payday, GPPs would be the preferred route, with payouts issued to the top-scoring lineups that crack the upper percentile of the contest.
Each week, I’ll go position by position, breaking down my core plays for tournaments, in order of descending salary. And I will always stack my core quarterbacks, so look out for pairings when building your lineups. I’ll continue to update the article up until kickoff, adjusting for any late-breaking news throughout the weekend with a better gauge of rostership. I’ll also be available in the FTN Discord to answer questions and share my thoughts throughout the week.
Quarterback
Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers ($6,400)
Brock Purdy balled out in his first game with Christian McCaffrey back in the lineup, attempting over 35 passes (36) for just the second time, throwing for a season-high 353 yards and averaging 9.8 yards per attempt. Even without his full arsenal of weapons, Purdy leads the league in passing yards per game, averaging 272.7 yards through the air on 30.9 dropbacks, trailing only Lamar Jackson (9.3) in yards per attempt (8.8). Up next, he faces a Seattle defense ranked 17th in DVOA against the pass (-7.7%), allowing the 10th-most passing yards (233.8) and 12th-most fantasy points (17.1) per game to opposing signal callers. Per the DVOA-Adjusted Fantasy Points Against Tool, quarterbacks see a 6% boost in production against the Seahawks, the 12th-highest rate in the league.
