USFL DFS plays for Week 4
The USFL DFS grind continues as we coast into Week 4 with a strong read on what these teams actually are now. Pricing is actually starting to tighten in some spots as well which will inevitably lead to more mistakes being made from our opponents. This week we have one game Friday, two Saturday and […]

USFL DFS plays for Week 3
As we head into Week 3 of the USFL, we are starting to get some clarity with team pecking orders and play styles. The biggest DFS edge for this sport by far at the moment is tracking injury news and late team reports as they drop. Some of the “questionable” tags aren’t even clarified until […]

USFL DFS plays for Week 2
Week 1 of the USFL is in the books, and we saw some predictably ugly football overall. Most teams had very little time together to build chemistry and continuity, so we saw some very putrid performances from these offenses with expected No. 1 receivers actually bageling. We knew there would be a learning curve, but […]

USFL DFS Strategy: Tips and Roster Builds for Week 2
The United States Football League re-launched this past week after a 36-year hiatus. Injury reports were hard to come by and team depth charts were muddled and often flat-out wrong. Multiple teams experimented with a quarterback-by-committee approach. Through all of this, I was able to take second and seventh place in DraftKings’ large Sunday DFS […]

USFL DFS plays for Week 1
The latest attempt at spring football comes to us in the form of the USFL. There is a clear interest from the public for football during the spring/summer months, but unfortunately all of the attempts from various leagues so far have failed. I am hopeful that the USFL will be successful though and am excited […]

Eliot Crist qualifies his staple article as a pursuit to find “players in the best position to succeed… based on an individual matchup, how teams perform, pace of play, injury-related boost, or a game environment that’s juicy.” Interestingly, there aren’t many mismatches for either team’s offense in this game. By and large, where the offenses […]

Conference Championship GPP Stacks & Correlated Leverage Opportunities
GPP’s 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 […]
