DFS NFL Podcast - Week 1 Recap, Lamar Jackson Victory Lap, Cash Game Thoughts and Look Ahead to Week 2 on DraftKings and FanDuel 9/10/19 It's a DFS NFL Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings and the DFSR crew is recapping Week 1 and looking ahead to Week 2. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! James Davis and Doug Norrie take to the podcast looking back at an exciting first week of NFL action with some huge games from relatively unknown players. They discuss their Lamar Jackson play and the surprise that he was so low-owned in cash games on both sites. Jackson, of course, crushed the souls of the Miami Dolphins and was the highest scoring quarterback on both sites. It came through the air more than his legs which does cause some concern going forward, but overall he was a top play. There’s also discussion about the takeaways from Week 1 and where we can have solid information and what other performances look like outliers or game script issues. And of course they have to talk about some of the crazy wide receiver games, breaking down which ones are sustainable and which ones might be blips on the radar.

It's almost time for the first Sunday of the season and DFSR has you covered with more than an hour of discussion about the main slate of games. They go through the matchups and fantasy-relevant plays. There's discussion about Todd Gurley's possible usage and how he could be coming underpriced on both sites because of the playoff performance. They try to make sense of some of the new situations and whether to be bullish or bearish on some unknowns going into Week 1. Can you play Christian McCaffrey in cash games at those prices? It could be the right play if the Rams and Panthers turns into a shootout. They compare Chris Godwin and Kenny Golladay going into this first week considering the hype around the former. All of this and much more in an hour-long discussion about every game on the main slate. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 7400 DK 6000 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 20.86 DK - 21.14 We're starting the season with Lamar Jackson under center? It's looking that way. After Jackson took over in week 11, he ran for 536 yards in 7 games. If you extrapolate that rate over 16 games, he would have had 1,225 yards, which would have been good for 4th best in the entire NFL. It would have been 26 yards fewer than Todd Gurley, who is more expensive than Jackson going into this week. Oh, and Jackson also passes the ball. It's reasonable to suggest that we'll see some regression from Jackson in the running game this season, simply because we have never seen a quarterback run so prolifically without getting injured. That being said, isn't it also reasonable to assume that he'll probably improve somewhat in the passing game? Any of that would just be the icing on the cake, here. The Ravens are in a fantastic spot against the Dolphins, who allowed the second most rushing yards per game last season and have already mailed in the season. I like Jackson in just about every format this week. Carson Wentz FD 7600 DK 5700 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 19.63 DK - 20.15 If you don't trust Jackson to continue his breakneck (perhaps literally) rushing pace, Wentz is a very interesting QB to consider. While it's true that Wentz is running a lot less than it looked like he would early in his career, he's quietly a much bigger force in the passing game than he gets credit for. While his end of year stats aren't phenomenal, is rate stats are excellent. His 69.6% completion rate ranked 3rd best in the league, and his 279.6 yards per game was sixth best among returning starters. He's got a solid core of receivers that's been bolstered by the arrival of DeSean Jackson, who provides a deep threat that the Eagles haven't really had in Wentz's time there. The running game should be improved with Howard and Sanders, both of whom can catch balls out of the backfield as well. Wentz threw for 306 yards while completing 27 of his 39 passes against the Skins last year, and again, his offense should be better this season. I like Wentz as a breakout candidate, and he his price could rise sharply if...

DFS NFL Podcast - Week 1 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/4/19 The Daily Fantasy Sports Rankings crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie take to the podcast discuss Week 1 Cash Game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s finally here! Week 1 main slate is around the corner and the guys take to the podcast to discuss cash game strategies, what to prioritize in Week 1 and how to go about creating *safe* DFS lineups.

The DFSR NFL Podcast is back! It’s been a long offseason with plenty of player movement, news, speculation and much more. And the guys are excited to be back talking footballs and preparing for Week 1 on FanDuel and DraftKings. They take a slightly different approach to Week 1 on the podcast. Typically, they’ve written the cash game article and are breaking down their picks. This week, it’s in reverse with the guys looking at a group of players and deciding essentially where they’ll land for the write ups. The biggest issues boil down to a seeming treasure trove of value at Running Back with Wide Receiver looking a little thinner from a value perspective. That leaves some questions about where to pay up. At quarterback they discuss the safety in a guy like Lamar Jackson but also look at Carson Wentz and some other QBs in that middle tier price range. At running back they look at a whole host of plays and try to narrow the field. And finally, wide receiver proves to be the trickiest as of this taping with some elite WR1 guys in shadow coverage matchups and some other values maybe being a little too speculative for Week 1.

NFL Consistency - A look back at 2018's Wide Receivers - 9/2/19 We’ve already taken a look at the differences in consistency around the quarterback position from 2018 and how certain QBs stack up going into this season.

Now let’s glance at the top wide receivers from last season and how they stacked up against each other over the course of the season from a consistency and upside perspective. And like we said with quarterbacks, we’ll do this by comparing the DraftKings coefficient of variation (CV - standard deviation / average points) of each player’s performance over the course of the year. This will allow us to compare players at each position to their peers. The lower the CV, the more consistent the player was over the course of the year. The average DraftKings points, kind of speaks for itself. Takeaways Davante Adams FD 8700 DK 7700 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 15 DK - 18.07 Considering the offense was stale and Aaron Rodgers did play banged up last season, Davante Adams was a pillar of consistency over the course of the sixteen weeks. He was obviously a monster and it helped that he caught at least one touchdown in 12 of his 16 games games. His lowest targeted games were seven twice and he had nine games of 11 or more targets. That being said, it’s tough to imagine with another year of Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling that Adams is the ultra-target machine we saw last season. Additionally, with a change of coaching out of the stale Mike McCarthy offense and into Matt LaFleur’s style we could see the ball spread more. I very much doubt we see this level of consistency from Adams again though he’s clearly WR1 in this offense. Juju Smith-Schuster FD 8100 DK 7500 Opponent NE Proj Points FD - 15.36 DK - 18.56 The Steelers and Vikings both sustained two top 15 receivers in Antonio Brown/Juju Smith-Schuster and Adam Thielen/Stefon Diggs respectively. The latter obviously come back as a tandem but now Juju is thrust into Pittsburgh's WR1 role. It’s going to be tough making strides in...
