DFS NFL Talk – Week 11 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings
DFS NFL Talk - Week 11 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to discuss Week 11 cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. At quarterback they discuss Alex Smith, Tom Brady and Drew Brees all coming expensive but in good spots. The disagreement comes at running back where Doug argues the pro-Kareem Hunt side while James takes a strong stance against. Hunt has a great matchup but is coming off four pretty uninspiring weeks. They also look at Mark Ingram and Chris Thompson. At receiver, it's Michael Thomas, Sterling Shepard and Jarvis Landry with Travis Kelce in a great spot against the Giants.

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 – 11/19/17
Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 - 11/14/17 We are coming off an absolutely crazy Week 10 that saw some heavy chalk put up complete duds. It was an off-brand kind of week with some of the top performances coming from virtual no-name backups and afterthoughts. Let's hope Week 11 gets back to some normalcy with a few prolific offenses facing very suspect defenses.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Alex Smith FD 7900 DK 6700 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 21.34 DK - 22.01 If you’ve been wondering what the New York Giants defense has been up to the last few weeks, rest assured it hasn’t anything good. Opposing quarterbacks have been salivating at the chance to face this D with last three games looking like this: CJ Beathard - 288/2 Jared Goff - 311/4 (on 22 total pass attempts) Russell Wilson - 334/3 It’s been an all-you-can-eat buffet for opposing QBs and that doesn’t stand to change much this week. The Chiefs come in with the third highest team implied total on the main slate (27) with the ultra-efficient Smith behind center. He has the second-best completion percentage (70%) among qualified QBs facing the 28th DVOA defense who seem to be getting worse by the week. He’s the 8th most expensive FD QB despite ranking third overall in fantasy points at the position this season. Stacking Chiefs in cash games is looking very much like the play this week coming off the bye week and at slightly reduced price points. Smith’s accuracy and ability to run keep his floor high. Tom Brady FD 8600 DK 7400 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 22.75 DK - 23.31 We are typically recommending mobile quarterbacks at this price point because strictly pocket passers can get skunked if the TDs get vultured with no effective way to make up the fantasy point difference. Brady doesn’t fit that mold, but the Patriots come in with the highest team total and Brady can be counted on for at least 35 passing attempts per game (he leads the league in total attempts on the season). The Pats D has greatly improved over the last few weeks, leading to less shootout-type games for Brady, though Vegas does like the Raiders to keep in this game with the...
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 10 – 9/12/17
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 10 - 9/12/17 Welcome back to another exciting week of daily fantasy football. I am going to start out again this week with some key injury and suspension news that will undoubtedly affect our lineup construction. It starts with the Ezekiel Elliott saga and I won't get into details but really all you need to know is that the suspension is back on so we won't see him on the field this weekend. When will he back? You guess is as good as mine. Next up, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without arguably their top two offensive weapons as Mike Evans has been suspended one game after his altercation with Marshon Lattimore, and Jameis Winston will be out at least two weeks with multiple injuries. The Falcons are another team with injuries to key players as Devonta Freeman(knee) was limited early in the week but he is likely to play but Tevin Coleman could see some extra carries. Julio Jones(ankle) was a DNP on both Wednesday and Thursday but returned to practice Friday. This just adds to the risk of stacking the Falcons as they have underperformed week in and week out. One team I will be avoiding in my stacks this week will be the Broncos as both of their top wideouts are dealing with injuries. Emmanuel Sanders returned to the lineup last week but was clearly not 100% and although he was a full participant this week, I still don't trust he is back to full health and then add in the fact Brock Osweiler is his quarterback. Demaryius Thomas was limited in practice this week with a hammy but is expected to be on the field in the big Sunday night matchup vs. the Patriots. Speaking of the Patriots, Chris Hogan(shoulder) is almost a lock to sit out once again this week while Danny Amendola is still dealing with a knee injury but is expected to play Sunday night. He and Brandin Cooks could see a boost in targets this week and don't forget about James White out of the backfield as he sits second among running backs in targets per game(6.6). A few other injury status's to monitor as Sunday approaches are: Michael Thomas(NO) - Was limited Thursday with an ankle injury Matt Forte(NYJ) - Has sat out of practice all week with a knee injury and is very unlikely to play Sunday Dez Bryant(DAL) - Hasn't practiced all week but is likely to return on Friday. Dealing with multiple injuries(knee, ankle) but says is will be on the field Sunday which is good news for the Cowboys who are now without Ezekiel Elliot for some...
