DFS NFL Talk Week 6 - Look Back at Week 5 and Ahead to Week 6 - 10/10/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday podcast breaking a weird Sunday in the NFL. They take a look at what some of these variable performances mean when projecting out certain opportunity for the rest of the season. They discuss how there exists a group of players who see elite touches on a given week, but there’s a steep drop-off in expectation after them. They also discuss Doug’s rough week with lineups despite being encouraged by the overall projection system and opportunities on players. Then they finish off with a discussion on the tight end position and whether the volatility there means just paying premiums on guys like Ertz and Kielce. All of this and more on a Week 5 recap for FanDuel and DraftKings. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Daily Fantasy Football Correlation Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 7  10/23/16 These are a combination of players that when performing, will complement each other. For example, a team that is behind will be forced to pass more, while the team that is ahead will run more. That makes the WR1 on the behind team and the RB1 on the ahead team correlative. There is a higher chance that they will perform well if the other does as well. Let's get into my favorite combos of the week! 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. SIGN UP NOW! Correlation Plays Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson & Michael Crabtree We are going to start off with a trio that consists of all very high upside guys, though they have a decent floor in this match up as well. Bortles and Robinson are my favorite QB-WR combo on the week, especially when you consider the price. The Raiders have been the absolute worst team in the league against the pass ith 312 yards allowed per game on average. While Bortles and Robinson have not been on the same page this year, i think they get back on track with a huge perfroamce in this one. Robinson is the main target in the red zone and is likely safe for at least 1 TD. On the other side of things, we have Michael Crabtree. I was close to sliding Amari Cooper in here, but the match up with Jalen Ramsey is far worse than the match up Crabtree has with Davon House. House has been atrocious on the year and has not held a WR under 80 yards. This game will have a lot of passing and this trio of guys is one that I will have a ton of. DeMarco Murray & Titans D/ST Everyone is going to be paying down at RB. We have Mike Gillislee and Jacquizz Rodgers in fantastic spots, and they are cheap enough to let you have stars around them. That being said, there is merit in paying up to be contrarian. Murray is a lot more talented then those cheap guys and if given the opportunity, has a lot more upside. He enters this game with the Colts as the 4th highest yardage leader i the league, and will look to move up against the worst rush...
