Top 5 NFL DFS slate-breakers for Week 13
The phrase “break the slate” is tossed around often in the DFS world, and for good reason. First, it just sounds cool. And second, because it’s actually true.  Think of all fantasy points scored each week as a gravitational pull. When fantasy points are bell-curve distributed like they are most weeks, the DFS solar system […]

Streaming DSTs for Week 13 in Fantasy Football
Streaming defense/special teams (DST) has been a fantasy football strategy for as long as I have played the game. More often than not, I’m not going to be looking to get attached to any particular DST due to the schedule/matchups and being able to churn and burn via free agency.  FAAB budgets are dwindling as […]

Streaming TEs for Week 13 in fantasy football
Who would have thought Jack Doyle would finish Week 12 with the most fantasy points scored (20.10) at the tight end position? I certainly didn’t, but that is the nature of this position. Outside of Doyle, the other productive tight ends in Week 12 were usual suspects. Week 13 provides us with a few options […]

Monday Night Football: DFS Showdown Strategy
General Rules I use for Showdown In large GPP’s, never use your entire salary. If you win it will be a major letdown because the prize pool will be split between too many people. This is not to say a lineup using the entire salary can’t win, it can and it does. But, when it […]

NFL Showdowns have swings like no other, where you can go from outside the cash line to within takedown territory (or vice versa) in a single play. A key to ensuring you’re on the right side of those swings more often than the wrong side is having a real sense of where ownership will be, […]
