Weekly NFL Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel – Week 1

Posted by on Sep 9, 2016 in featured, News, Weekly Fantasy Football Picks | 6 comments

Weekly NFL Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel - Week 1 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. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. You can grab a free trial to test out yourself. START YOUR FREE TRIAL! Typically with stacks we’ve concentrated on Quarterback-Wide Receiver pairings with goal of grabbing a team’s entire TD output (with the idea they’d put the ball in the air). But for Week 1 some interesting three-player stacks exist. Because pricing was released so early by FanDuel and DraftKings, there are a few QB-RB-WR combinations we can consider that others will avoid because they believe it will be a case of diminishing returns. But this week is different because the price points on some players are simply too low. With that in mind, let’s take a look at these combos with a focus strictly on GPPs.   Week 1 NFL Stacks Derek Carr FD 7700 DK 7300 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 21.14 DK - 22.22 Latavius Murray FD 6600 DK 5600 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 14.36 DK - 16.06 Amari Cooper FD 7100 DK 7200 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 14.5 DK - 17.37 Consider:>/strong> Michael Crabtree. The Raiders and Saints have the biggest Vegas over/under of the week sitting at 52 with New Orleans only -1.5. We are expecting an outpouring of points from these two squads who struggled on defense last year and didn’t do much in the way of improving. Cooper falls a half tier below the guys like Antonio Brown, Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins but has as much upside as anyone. A significant downfield threat I love stacking him with Carr here and if you think Amari takes the leap this season to a consistent, double-digit targets guy then we are getting a nice price on him. He makes for the pivot away from the big boys mentioned above. With Murray you get a heavy carries guy who will see the ball down and close. He could give way to Deandre Washington on third and longs, but I still think he sees the volume to contribute at his prices. Russell Wilson FD 8500 DK 7900 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 24.03 DK - 24.8 Christine Michael FD 4800 DK 3700 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 9.89 DK - 10.45 Doug Baldwin FD 6700 DK 6600 Opponent MIA Proj Points...

Daily Fantasy Football News and Notes FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 1 9/11/16 In this article, we'll be breaking down the top news around the league and provide you with an analysis of what we expect to happen. We will also provide you with an "every lineup guy" section, just like we did for baseball. So let's welcome football back into our lives, and let's get this show on the show on the road! In case you didn’t notice, on Saturday we released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and Player Lab which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a robust set of tools; well beyond anything we’ve ever had and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. Using tools like these for the NFL season is crucial and you can grab a free trial to test out yourself. START YOUR FREE TRIAL! A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! NFL News and Notes Devonte Parker (MIA) Devonte Parker is practicing one day, then out three days, back for two days and then out for four. Do you guys see the trend here? He clearly isn't healthy and has been having hamstring issues on [both] legs, which has not allowed him to practice [at all] this week. From the looks of it; he'll be out Week 1. He has not been able to log in a single practice and Adam Gase has expressed his frustration with the former 1st-round draft pick. With that being said, this is what we can expect from the Dolphins Week 1: With Parker out (I'm 95% sure he'll be out), we can expect Kenny Stills and Jarvis Landry to play the majority of WR2 sets. We can also see Jordan Cameron get more involved in the offense, even though he's had a case of the drops this preseason. I wouldn't roster any of these guys this week, as they will be going up against the "Legion of Boom" (Seahawks), unless you're playing a tournament and want to be contrarian. Justin Forsett (BAL) Poor guy..... He's had a strange start to the New Year and it just keeps getting worse. He was expected to be the main guy in Baltimore and then was released. Shortly after, he re-signed with them. When he re-signed with them, we again expected him to be...

Daily Fantasy Football Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 1 9/11/16

Posted by on Sep 8, 2016 in featured, News, Weekly Fantasy Football Picks | 2 comments

Daily Fantasy Football Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 1 9/11/16 News in the NFL, like any DFS sport is dynamic and with new information comes updates to our system and even our picks. We posted out Week 1 Cash game plays, but wanted to throw out a quick updates article on where we've been tweaking some things. 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. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. You can grab a free trial to test out yourself. START YOUR FREE TRIAL! UPDATES Spencer Ware FD 5400 DK 4400 Opponent SD Proj Points FD - 13.03 DK - 13.69 So we were feeling fantastic about Ware's chances for week 1, but recent news out of KC's camp has us singing a different tune. A fair bit of cold water has been thrown on Spencer Ware's stock thanks to uncertain reports about how the time will be split. While we're not worried about Jamaal Charles suiting up, there are now real question marks about both Ware's overall workload and his touches in the red zone in particular. While the price is still very attractive, Ware is a lot closer to an "interesting big tournament play" than an "every lineup guy" as of this writing. We might get some more clarity here as the weekend approaches, but for Thursday's slate, this might be a stayaway on sites where you can't do a late substitution. Antonio Brown FD 9300 DK 9800 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 19.41 DK - 23.47 So we still like Antonio Brown for week 1, but we feel like there's a need for a more in-depth breakdown of his match-up this week. It's no secret that Josh Norman has moved from Carolina to Washington, but the bigger question surrounds just how his move will impact Washington's defense against the WR1 position. Norman had a few high profile shut-downs last season, and is generally regarded as one of the top few shutdown corners in the league. That said, the track record of shut-down corners switching team is somewhat mixed. While the Redskins are likely to deploy the physical CB much in the same way Carolina did, there are extenuating circumstances that make Norman's life a bit more difficult. Washington had the third fewest sacks last season, for instance, and their lack of a pass rush gives smaller (but faster) receivers like...
