Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 – 9/30/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 - 9/30/18 Looking at some of the GPP results from last week, the leaderboards were once again flooded with stacks including the most profitable combinations were the three-headed monster that is Brees/Kamara/Thomas for the Saints, Matt Ryan/Calvin Ridley for Falcons and the ultra low-owned Jared Goff/Robert Woods for the Rams. This not only proves that stacking is crucial to cashing big in GPP's but also that you can do it with chalky options like the Saints or riskier low-owned stacks like the Rams. With that said, let's jump in and look at some of my top stacks for week 4 using the tools here at DFSR. Want to see the rest of this article?

Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings – Week 5
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings - Week 5 Another week in the books and another 20 point win for Bama. A quarter of the way through the season and it doesn’t look like anyone can stop this Tide from burying college campuses across America. Old Dominion the dragon slayer dropped Virginia Tech in a stunner while Oklahoma escaped a narrow one against Army to keep it’s playoff hopes alive. This week Texas Tech, who has scored 181 points in their last three games including wins over Houston and Oklahoma State, travels to Morgantown to face West Virginia in what is sure to be an excellent game. Duke will look to move to 5-0 with a win over the reeling Hokies. I predict North Texas will finish 14-0 and ranked in the top 25. And lastly, how will the new redshirt rule impact two deeps as players leave their teams and play as graduate transfers next season. Stay strapped in and enjoy the ride, cause we got you covered. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence -Clemson DK 8500 Opponent Syracuse Friday, October 13th, 2017: the scoreboard reads 27-24 and the game clock reads zeros. Down goes Frazier and Syracuse upsets #2 Clemson in a thriller. Something tells me even Dabo Swinney’s dog circled this one on the calendar. Lawrence will be making his first start after taking over for Kelly Bryant last week against Georgia Tech. Lawrence responded by chucking four touchdowns on just 18 pass attempts. Through four weeks, both quarterbacks have played in each game, but Trevor has largely outplayed Bryant and is tied for the ACC lead with nine touchdown passes on just 60 attempts, good for a ridiculous 15% touchdown rate. Keep in mind Bryant is 16-2 as a starter if that tells you anything about the talent Lawrence possesses. Swinney has already named Lawrence the starter for Saturday, but has not clarified Bryant’s new role or if he will play. There are mumblings that Bryant will redshirt and play as a graduate transfer next season, which would cement Lawrence as the top play on the board. Syracuse is allowing 13 points per game over its last three games. They were all against inferior opponents who didn’t want revenge. Dabo wants to unleash his new weapon and pile it on to make amends for last year’s blunder. Clemson wins big and Lawrence has a career day. Update: Kelly Bryant has announced he is transferring. Tua Tagovailoa -Alabama DK 9000 Opponent Louisiana Immense upside with little downside. Alabama has been absolutely dominating teams and looks every bit of continuing their dynasty over college football. We are yet to see a full game out of...

GPP Ownership Pivot Plays for Week 3 on FanDuel and DraftKings Welcome back football fans. Week 2 once again proved that you can have some chalk in your lineup if you are going to win a GPP but you will also need one or two lower owned players to help separate yourself from the pack.

Examining Player Usage Percentages to Find Week 3 Breakout Candidates (Premium)
Examining Player Usage Percentages to Find Week 3 Breakout Candidates After two games this season we are starting to get a sense of how teams plan on running their offense/ deploying their offensive weapons. And while two games does not a sample size make, we can possibly pick out some players who are running bad in terms of overall fantasy scoring compared to the usage they’re seeing in the offense. Take a look at the chart below to see the top guys in terms of the percentage of team usage they’re seeing and how that could inform some of our decisions moving forward.

Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings – Week 4
Daily Fantasy College Football Picks and Betting Spotlight (Premium) for DraftKings - Week 4 Week 3 is in the books so let’s go through a quick recap to see what we can glean from the results. Florida State really is that bad after nearly getting shut out at Syracuse and the days of Bowden are a distant memory. Ohio State avoided a scare at TCU, Hawaii can be slowed down, and Alabama looks as dominant as ever. This Saturday is sure to be just as action packed with a stacked schedule of great matchups. Last week, Texas Tech won a track meet with 112 total points scored and now travel to Oklahoma State. We also have a double upset special with Nebraska taking on Michigan and Wisconsin trying to avoid a two-game losing skid at Iowa. So let’s get after it Quarterback Anthony Brown -Boston College DK 9200 Opponent Purdue Boston College is largely known for playing good defense and running the ball. Well, times are starting to change in good ole Chestnut Hill, MA. I wouldn’t say Brown is currently on the short list of many NFL scouts, but at this level, playing teams not named Alabama, he’s pretty good. Last week on national television Brown lit up Wake Forest’s secondary to the tune of 304 yards and five touchdowns. On the season Brown has passed for 626 yards and nine touchdowns to zero interceptions. Now he faces a Purdue team that hasn’t been able to stop anyone all season. Purdue will have to pay special attention to AJ Dillon so Brown should get plenty of one on one coverage schemes. He’s not my favorite play on the board, but I really like the concept of pairing him with AJ DIllon in what should be a high scoring affair. Will Grier -West Virginia DK 10500 Opponent West Virginia Grier is pricey, but it’s doable depending on how you structure lineup at the other positions. Even at this price, it’s hard to argue the floor that comes with the hefty salary. Grier is essentially a lock for 300 yards passing and multiple touchdowns. I highlighted Grier in Week 1, largely due to the certainty he offers and he delivered with 429 yards and five touchdowns against what seems to be a fairly solid Tennessee defense. Last week in a rout against Youngstown State he still went for 332 and four touchdowns. West Virginia seems fairly committed to utilizing the strength of their passing attack regardless of game flow. In other words, they like to air it out even when winning by a large margin. Kansas State is far from its glory days when Darren Sproles ran wild and their...
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 – 9/23/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/23/18 Welcome back football fans. We are now full steam ahead as we enter Week 3 of the NFL season and the biggest thing I notice is how pass-heavy this league has become. Only one running back had 20 or more carries in Week 2 but four of them(Barkley, McCaffrey, Thompson, Riddick) had double-digit targets. James talks about this more in-depth in his premium article so be sure to check that out. This puts even more important on stacking, in my opinion, and I have no issue with the QB/RB stack or even adding a RB to a QB/WR stack as you will see below. Let's dig in and take a look at a coupel of my top teams to target this week. Want to see the rest of this article? Go grab a free three day trial of DFSR Pro or DFSR Basic!
