Game Stack - Cowboys vs. Chargers We have to wait until the afternoon but this game has the highest total on the slate and is, by far, my favorite place to start my teams in almost every single format. I prefer both teams passing games and if I had to choose just one, it would be the Chargers' side as the Cowboys' pass defense picked up where it left off in 2020, looking absolutely terrible. Add on that they will lose pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence and both starting safeties are questionable this week(Wilson did not practice all week & Wright was limited Thurs/Fri). With all that said let's take a look at both sides. Justin Herbert FD 7600 DK 6700 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 24.18 DK - 24.88 Keenan Allen FD 7400 DK 7000 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 16.18 DK - 19.7 Mike Williams FD 5600 DK 6100 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 12.42 DK - 14.77 Like I mentioned above, I favor the Chargers side a little bit more in this game as a pick to win and for DFS. It starts with quarterback Justin Herbert who is not only cheaper on both sites but is coming off a week where he threw the ball 47 times, eight most of any quarterback to start the season. He only completed 31 of those passes and was only able to throw for one TD as Washington's redzone defense held its own but he did end up with 337 yards and was rated the 4th most aggressive QB in week one(via NextGen Stats). What I really like about both these teams are the concentrated targets to a smaller number of players. For the Chargers, Keenan Allen(13) and Mike Williams(12) drew 25 targets between them(54%) with no other receiver having more than five. It's a small sample size but I feel the Cowboys are going to be much stronger vs. the run than the pass so projecting Herbert for 40+ pass attempts in this projected high-pace game doesn't feel crazy at all and if...

Game Stack - Titans vs. Cardinals Ryan tannehill FD 7700 DK 6500 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 20.34 DK - 20.91 A.J. Brown FD 7800 DK 7100 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 13.26 DK - 15.69 Julio Jones FD 7000 DK 6800 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 12.02 DK - 14.39 First of all, this game has the 2nd highest total on the slate featuring two teams who run a Top 10 pace. Let's start with the Titans who feature several players who may not be Top 5 highest owned at their positions. It starts with at QB with Ryan Tannehill who comes in the same price range as the projected highest owned QB on the slate, Jalen Hurts. This gives us leverage over the field and it's not like we are losing a ton of upside as the Cards ranked mid-pack against the pass last year and look to be in decline coming into 2021. He also gets even more weapons in 2021 as the team added Julio Jones in the offseason to play opposite of A.J. Brown. That is a lethal combo especially with the attention defense's have to pay to Derrick Henry who can easily blow up a game at any point. Most of my TEN stacks will have Tannehill and just ONE of the two wideouts but I will mix in some double-wideout lineups to maximize my upside should they both go off! Kyler Murray FD 8400 DK 7600 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 22.55 DK - 23.27 Deandre Hopkins FD 8200 DK 7800 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 16.23 DK - 19.96 Rondale Moore FD 4900 DK 3000 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 7.63 DK - 9.3 The Cardinals are a slight road underdog(+3) here and projected to be the highest owned side of this potential high-paced, shootout. It makes sense as they face a Titans defense that ranked 29th in passing yards per game allowed and 28th in fantasy points per game to wideouts. While Kyler was ranked a little lower in terms...

Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes FD 8800 DK 8100 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 25.72 DK - 26.3 Let’s start off the season with some safety. I don’t really need to go about explaining why Mahomes is the top quarterback to run to start the season. He is just about as good as it gets in the game and returns his two top weapons in Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Last year Mahomes finished second overall in passing yards despite playing one fewer game than the rest of the top group and his 38 TDs to six INTS was second-most efficient among quarterbacks after Aaron Rodgers. This could be a pace-down matchup for the Chiefs considering how much the Browns like to run the ball, but again we are getting the best quarterback in the game. But the Chiefs have the highest implied total on the main slate for a good reason. Ryan Tannehill FD 7700 DK 6500 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 20.86 DK - 21.45 While Tannehill wasn’t in the very upper tier of fantasy quarterbacks, it wasn’t for lack of efficiency. His 33 touchdowns to seven interceptions was among the best in the league, with the former number sitting seventh in the league. That doesn’t sound all that great until you realize his overall attempts were 18th in the league. When he put the ball in the air, good things happened. And there is reason to suspect the Titans do more of that this season. They brought in Julio Jones for a reason and it’s hard to imagine Derrick Henry keeping up the insane, on the ground, usage, he’s had over the last few. This is a good spot against the Cardinals in what projects to be a high-scoring game. Strongly consider Kyler Murray going up against those Titans.  Running Backs Dalvin Cook FD 9400 DK 9100 Opponent CINProj Points FD - 22.08 DK - 23.86 Cook was behind only Derrick Henry in terms of carries and yards last season though that would have been closer had the former not missed two games. He still was awesome, racking up 1,557 yards on the ground and another 361 through the air. He still doesn’t factor into the passing game as much as you would like, but his big-play ability is second to none. In terms of DVOA, the Bengals had the...

NFL Best Ball Strategy for DraftKings - 2021 Season Welcome back football fans. It feels like ages ago we were betting on Super Bowl props and watching Tom Brady add to his legendary career. For the first time in years, I have actually found time to start my NFL research in July. I have also made a huge shift in what kind of fantasy football I am playing in 2021. I used to play 15+ season long leagues on Yahoo but with my full-time career doing DFS content that has dramatically fallen off. Over the last couple of years specifically, I have transitioned most of my Yahoo bankroll allocation to Best Ball leagues. They are a perfect fit for people who play DFS each and every week on DraftKings, FanDuel, PrizePicks, and others. You draft your team of players pre-season and that's it. No in-season roster moves or start/sit decision or remembering to set said lineup(this happened alot with how busy DFS Sunday am is). I will be playing almost exclusively on DraftKings so all of my references will refer to that throughout the article. Let's start by looking at the draft, your roster requirements, scoring, and then get into some strategy. 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! Draft Types You have two choices when first getting started. You can sign up for a Slow Draft(8 hour time limit to pick) or Fast Draft(30 seconds per pick). While I have exposure to both formats, I much prefer the Slow Draft as it gives me more time to analyze everything and make a more informed decision with each pick, which is crucial in best-ball format as you don't get any transactions throughout the season. Contest Types There are also two types of contests you can enter on DraftKings, as well. Sit & Go's These contests run the entire NFL regular season(Week 1-17) and leagues are made up of anywhere from 3-12 teams. Tournaments These are larger prize pool contests that consist of multiple 12-team leagues and are split up into four rounds: → Round 1(Week 1-14) - you play within your 12-team league and the Top 2 teams move on to Round → Round 2(Week 15) - You are randomly placed against another advancing team(they will avoid putting you up against yourself if you have multiple teams advance). Win and move on! → Round 3(Week 16) - You are randomly placed against another advancing team(they will avoid putting you up against yourself if you have multiple teams advance). Win...

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Los Angeles Rams (+6) vs. Green Bay Packers (-6) The big question, as of this writing, is the status of the Rams’ quarterback situation. John Wolford left the Wild Card game early with a stinger and was actually to the hospital in an ambulance during the game. He ended up being fine all things considered and there’s actually some chance he plays this week. Jared Goff came in with having had finger surgery and was inconsistent going 9-19 though he did connect with Robert Woods for a touchdown pass in the win. We will have to monitor this leading into Saturday’s game. Cam Akers FD 7000 DK 5700 Opponent GBProj Points FD - 14.84 DK - 15.56 Akers was one of the fantasy darlings of the Wild Card round. The Rams leaned heavily on the rookie running back and he carried the ball 28 times for 131 yards and a touchdown in the win. Over his last five game (he had an injury in Week 16) Akers is averaging 21 carries per game and 2.6 targets. That’s incredibly elite usage and will once again make for a tough fade on Sunday. A negative game script of course could hurt him if LA falls down early, but considering the lack of running back options, for cash you just need to plug and play Akers here. Cooper Kupp FD 6100 DK 5300 Opponent GBProj Points FD - 12.05 DK - 14.97 Kupp left the Wild Card game against the Seahawks early with some knee issues. As of right now, it appears he’s going to be okay to play this Saturday. Even with an early exit, Kupp was the Rams’ leader in targets on Saturday despite leaving the game early and playing with two different quarterbacks. He finished with nine targets and four catches for 78 yards. It’s not a groundbreaking performance, but the price isn’t all that much on either slate for the clear target leader if healthy. If Kupp is out, Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds instantly become very strong cash game plays on both sites. They would increase target share and even if it’s inconsistent the price would be low in comparison to the projected increase in usage. Tyler Higbee FD...
