Along with Handicapping I also enjoy my fair share of DFS line ups in both NFL and NBA. I personally use Fanduel, so adjust accordingly based on your format.
Here we have an extremely interesting DFS single slate line up for tonights TNF match up. This is extremely rare in the sense that salary will be an absolute non-factor. Key things I look for are value players with upside, low draft percentages, and not letting the salary dictate my plays. Too often we feel like we need to have that perfect “$0” left when setting a line up. That doesn’t always translate to the best possible outcome. Set your line up so you are telling a story, how you think the game will go/flow.
Here is my story:
Tonight’s game will be an extremely windy low scoring affair. Both teams will be utilizing their ground game, opening up potential for big downfield plays. With the Broncos linebacking core in shambles I like for D’Ernest Johnson to get to the next level and the Browns leaning on him all night, making him my MVP and an arbitrary one at that. Qb’s are both going to be in play for me tonight especially with the value in Case Keenum at 5K (everyone will roster him I am sure). Looking for them both to be completing high percentage and quick passes, while getting yards scrambling on this windy night. That leaves these high percentage receivers to be both Noah Fant and Jarvis Landry (who should be a go) added to my line up. There is a lot of room for adjusting and tailoring this specific slate, but those are the players I will be eyeing for tonight.
