Small-Slate NFL DFS Plays (9/19)
The key difference between large, Sunday main slates and these smaller primetime slates is the concentration of ownership. Instead of the chalk being around 25%, it can get as high as 75%.

Monday Night Football DFS Breakdown
It is a weird Monday night, but a good one because we get two football games. It would be nice if the games were back-to-back as opposed to running at mostly the same time, but what can you do? In the earlier game, the Tennessee Titans take on the Buffalo Bills, who are coming home […]

Week 2 GPP Stacks & Correlated Leverage
GPPs are a game of probability. We can think of the chance of our lineup “hitting” as the chance of all of our individual plays hitting. This is why we stack — by adding correlation, we increase the probability of a group of players hitting at the same time. A great analogy is to […]

NFL DFS Pace and Playcalling Report: Week 2
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes may have established the NFL as a league of “haves” and “have nots” in Week 1. But from a fantasy perspective, a lot more teams offer some intrigue.
