DFSR's Daily Fantasy NFL Podcast - Week 13 Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/1/16 The DFSR crew take a look at the Week 13 DFS cash game NFL plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. They discuss, at length, the case for Russell Wilson after a rough week against the Bucs that saw him as a chalk play. There's also the safety in Aaron Rodgers' game and you can go cheap at Matt Barkley. At running back the guys try to decide between Le'Veon Bell and David Johnson at the top of the price tier. They are both elite tough volume plays even at their prices. And finally they look at possibly going cheap at the WR/TE position with some target share dudes coming in the middle tier.

QUARTERBACKS Russell Wilson FD 7700 DK 6300 Opponent CAR Proj Points FD - 22.03 DK - 22.87 Russell Wilson was the definitive chalk QB of week 12, and summarily had the worst passing game of his career in a plus match-up with Tampa Bay. But the discerning DFS player has to ask himself (or herself!) - who is the real Wilson? Is it the crime against humanity that we saw against the Bucs, or was it the guy who had 25 or more fantasy points in each of the three weeks prior? Or is he the guy who was awful the three weeks before that? Gulp. There are a lot of things to point to as to why Wilson's taken a step back this year, from his lower completion percentage, to his reluctance to run as much, but you know what? All of those little foibles are exactly why we're getting him at such a deep discount. He's had 8 carries in each of the last two weeks, and his core receivers are mostly healthy. Carolina, meanwhile, has never recovered from trying to replace their cornerbacks - they're 26th in the league in yards per attempt allowed and 27th in total passing yards allowed. Look for a big comeback game from Wilson here. Aaron Rodgers FD 8500 DK 6700 Opponent HOU Proj Points FD - 23 DK - 23.61 It seems like we're the only outfit to key in on Rodgers week in, week out, but he's becoming harder to ignore. We're now on 6 straight weeks with 23 or more fantasy points per game, and his receiving corp is as healthy as it's been all season. The big question mark with Rodgers early on this season was...
Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 12 Main Slate
Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 12 Main Slate I know we aren't even to Thanksgiving yet, but Sunday is still barreling down on us like a runaway freight train. If you want our Turkey Day NFL picks they are here. Otherwise, it's never too early to look ahead. In case you didn’t notice, we just released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format.

QUARTERBACKS Carson Palmer FD 7100 DK 5300 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 21.76 DK - 22.69 The price on DraftKings is just way too low considering his weapons and the opponent. Palmer’s completion percentage is down a bit this season and we aren’t seeing the crazy touchdown passes from last season (which were an outlier) but he’s now fallen into the bottom of the middle tier in pricing on DK and is a deal on FanDuel as well. He’s still averaging around 40 pass attempts per game and is facing a bottom third team defense in the Atlanta Falcons. Vegas doesn’t expect the Cardinals to put up a ton of points here (the total seems low to me frankly) but the potential passing volume for Palmer and the price make him a top play in our system. It sees this as a buy low opportunity after some down weeks since returning from injury. It doesn’t often feel good buying low (after all there’s usually a reason the price is low) but this is a case where I suspect it’s been overcorrected. Eli Manning FD 7800 DK 6500 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 23.79 DK - 24.8 Man the Browns are just brutal. They are almost historically bad with no real end in sight. Targeting plays against them has been EV+ all season long and that should be the case again this week. Eli, like Palmer above, feels a little odd for cash games considering the...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NFL Podcast - Week 11 Game-by-game Breakdown for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/18/16 The crew from DFSR takes a look at each game on the NFL Week 11 slate and how they each can effect lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. A few games really stand out with high upside totals like the Steelers-Browns, Patriots-49ers and even the Colts/ Titans. They take on a NoHalftime challenge with OBD and compare him to other similarly-priced wide receivers. Then there’s talk of AJ Green’s big upside, why to maybe avoid Tom Brady and even a Colin Kaepernick sighting. Subscribe to this podcast on...
DFSR’s Daily Fantasy NFL Podcast – Week 11 Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/17/16
DFSR's Daily Fantasy NFL Podcast - Week 11 Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/17/16 DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis break down the cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. It seems like some of the value plays crystalize early especially with the Steelers in such a good matchup. Big Ben, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown are all top tier plays against a bad Cleveland defense. They also discuss Aaron Rodgers and Blake Bortles. At running back, in addition to Bell, there’s Demarco Murray, Rob Kelley and C.J. Prosise with the latter two coming on the cheap. And finally at wide receiver they discuss Brown, Stefan Diggs, Jordy Nelson and Golden Tate. Subscribe to this podcast on...
