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...
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 6 – 10/14/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 6 - 10/14/18 Welcome back football fans. Week six brings us three games with totals over 50, four with totals over 48, and a whopping five of 43 or lower. What this could create is some high ownership on the top teams so getting as many combinations as possible of the stacks you choose is very important. To help yourself separate in GPP formats, you can always find one or two low owned pivots and I will cover a few of these in my ownership pivot article on Saturday morning. With that said, let's dive into my top two stacks of the week. Want to see the rest of this article? Go grab a free three day trial of DFSR Pro or DFSR Basic!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Quarterback - Jameis Winston Primary Target - Mike Evans Secondary Targets - Cameron Brate This week I am once again starting with a filter combination in the player Lab of high game totals with a thin spread. On the main slate, this produced two results and four quarterbacks. While I started with a game stack last week in the Steelers/Falcons game, I am going to go in a bit of a different direction this week. Don't get me wrong, I will definitely be game-stacking these extremely high-scoring games but I love the price and PTS/$ on Winston compared to these other quarterbacks helping us get to one or even two elite running backs that saw big price increases. The Bucs are coming off a bye week which is good news for Winston who will be making his first start of the season after serving a suspension. He did come into the game in week four in relief of Ryan Fitzpatrick and against arguably the best defense in the league in the Chicago Bears, he completed 16 of 20 passes(80%) for 145 yards despite two interceptions. I fully expect the rust to be shaken off and this week he gets a much better matchup against a banged-up Atlanta defense that has seen injuries to key players in Deion Jones at linebacker, Ricardo Allen at corner, and Keanu Neal at safety. Through five games, the Falcons have allowed the 9th most passing yards per game(277.2) and the 3rd most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. When multi-entering a contest, I always love to create as many combinations of my top stacks as possible so that when they go off you have a much better shot at hitting the nuts and...

DFS NFL Week 6 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/11/18 Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NFL podcast discussing Week 6 cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. There are some high-implied totals going into this week and some of the close decisions could come at quarterback and wide receiver especially. At the quarterback position, they discuss Matt Ryan, Deshaun Watson and Andy Dalton who all look they have high floors. At running back the guys look at Todd Gurley’s amazing usage plus Joe Mixon’s steady touches coming back from injury. And at wide receiver, there are some big-time target guys in Adam Theilen, Antonio Brown and DeAndre Hopkins who might still be relative bargains. Subscribe to this podcast on...
