Tags and I had a lot in common, from losing our fathers at an early age, having the same “pre-fantasy” career in finance, and writing a (detailed) game-by-game breakdown every […]

SuperDraft DFS picks and predictions for Week 3
Week 3’s Sunday slate is one sleep away, and for the first time this season, we have a rather significant amount of injury news to monitor. Dalvin Cook and Darrell Henderson, two of the higher-volume running backs in the league, are both listed as questionable after missing practice all week. The cherry on top? They […]

Week 3 GPP Stacks & Correlated Leverage Opportunities
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 think […]

NFL DFS is always a game of ownership and theory. We don’t need to fade every player who is chalk, or popular in DraftKings and FanDuel DFS contests, but we do need to determine who is going to be popular in order to decide whether we like the roster percentage a particular player is getting, […]
