DFS NFL Podcast Week 6 Recap and Week 7 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings  DFSR’s Doug Norrie and Chris Durell are on the Week 6 NFL recap podcast discussing action from Sunday. The guys discuss another great week from Todd Gurley and it’s clear he’s just the very safest RB play week in and week out. No one else is all that close in terms of per game usage and there’s really only a debate about how expensive the guy gets going forward. They look at some of the other running back games and the wonkiness around teams like the Falcons and Bears reversing some snap trends at the position. There’s discussion about how good defenses like the Browns, Bears and Jaguars were all beat up in Week 6. All of this and much more on a Week 6 NFL recap. Subscribe to this podcast on...

GPP Ownership Pivot Plays for Week 6 on FanDuel and DraftKings Like James and I talked about in the Week 5 Recap Podcast, making one or two ownership pivots in GPP formats has been the key to taking down one of these big contests. Let's dig in and take a look at one of these at each position this week.

Loose Ends - Making Sense of the TE position in Week 6 I've spent more time complaining about the tight end position in the NFL this season than I have about writing about it, so I figured it was time to just dig into this thing. We're coming off a week where Nick Vannett was in the 2nd overall FanDuel Million lineup with a 3 catch for 43 yard performance, and Vance McDonald was a 75% cash game play just because he was cheap. I think it's pretty safe to say that the tight end situation has never been more dire - but that doesn't mean there aren't a few diamonds in the rough out there that we can consider. In my week 6 cash game article I talked about Ertz, Ebron, and Njoku - but where else might we be able to look this week? Want to see the rest of this article?

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Matt Ryan FD 8300 DK 6800 Opponent TB Proj Points FD - 23.76 DK - 24.16 No sport plays tricks on my statistical mind quite like football. You see, football has been back long enough that it seems like we should be looking at a pretty good sample size of games to work with, right? I mean, these teams have played more than a quarter of their games! That's like 50 baseball games, or 25 basketball games! Except, it just isn't. Ultimately, the sample size Gods don't care how long the football season is - 4 or 5 games just isn't many games of something. So you're probably thinking - "This guy went to all this length to tell me we shouldn't trust Matt Ryan's hot start?" Actually, no. I'm here to tell you the opposite. While a four or five game sample won't mean much when it comes to certain metrics, say, receiving yards per game for a wide receiver, it IS enough to tell us a lot about a player's DFS viability. If you're a long-term reader of our site, you'll know that the major thing we consider when it comes to DFS value is simply opportunity - determining how often a player will get to contribute and how good his opponent is will tell you a whole lot about whether you should consider him or not. In the case of Ryan, all signs are pointing in a positive direction. For most of Ryan's career, he topped 600 attempts per season, but in the last two years he averaged just 532 (or about 33 attempts per game). For whatever reason, the Falcons went away from the Ryan/Julio combo and decided to lean on their two-headed running attack. With Freeman hurt to start the season, Ryan came out with guns blazing, and importantly, those guns stayed blazing with Freeman's return last week. So far, Ryan has...
