NFL DFS GPP: Stix Picks for Week 5

StixPicks 4 years ago

To quote the great Michael Rasile, “It’s a great day to be alive.” NFL DFS GPP season is here and it’s time for us to stay hot. Week 4 was a bit of a bust and I’m quite pissed on how we missed on so many players that I loved, but we will right the ship here in Week 5. For those who haven’t read it yet, please check out the Week 5 Cash Game Checkdown for your bankroll sustaining, cash game build advice.

In addition, I would strongly advise reading my NFL DFS Strategy article I published this offseason, before diving into the 2020 NFL DFS season. If you have any questions or would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter.

For those looking to get different and make a splash in some GPPs, the time is now. We’ll usually be taking some heavy stances on lower-ownership players, but at times, there is certainly good “chalk” to eat. Let’s get into it.

Please note, everyone on our cheatsheet and the Cash Game Checkdown are also in play for GPPs. This is more to uncover some players people are not talking about… and they should be.

NFL DFS GPP Quarterbacks

DeShaun Watson – Absolutely in love with DeShaun Watson yet again for Week 5. Jacksonville ranks dead last in pass defense DVOA and Bill O’Brien is no longer calling the plays. At 5-10% ownership, I’ll roll out a lot of Watson this week.

I love the Jaguars side of this ballgame as well so feel free to game-stack this one as many wats as you can.
Kyler Murray – Kyler is going to come in sub-5% ownership… Do we need to say more? I don’t love any Jets coming back on the other side to game stack it, but you could do worse than punting a Chris Herndon or Jeff Smith. I smell a 3-passing touchdown game from Kyler (in addition to his rushing upside). One of those TD’s will be to a low-owned Christian Kirk.
Gardner Minshew – Someone pinch me, I never write-up Gardner Minshew, but he looks damn good on the AETY Model this weekend. I love this games ability to shootout and go well over the high total 54 points. I’ll have more exposure to this game with Watson, but I’m going to have plenty of Minshew and these pass catchers as well.

Honorable Mention: Jimmy Garoppolo, Patrick Mahomes

Running Backs

James Robinson – More exposure to this HOU/JAX game is something I’m going to be very interested in. Houston’s defense is giving up ~5 yards per carry to opposing running backs and also giving up plenty of receptions to them. Robinson is a 3-down back in a great matchup in a game that I love to stack up.
James Conner – Philadelphia’s run defense ranks right there in the middle of the pack in terms of run defense DVOA, so it’s not like this is a matchup made in heaven. But, the AETY Model really likes Conner’s ability to rack up yardage here and he’s likely to be 5-8% owned on this slate. If you’re looking for a pivot off of CE/Hunt/Elliott, Conner has plenty of upside at 70% less ownership than the trio above.
Josh Jacobs – Kansas City’s run defense is not good with or without Chris Jones being healthy as they rank 27th in run DVOA. If Gruden has half a brain, he’s going to ride Jacobs into the ground to keep Mahomes and this is explosive offense off the field as long as possible. Look for Jacobs to have a 20+ point fantasy outing with 3-5 receptions. If he can get in the box, he’ll be a great addition to your GPP lineups.
Antonio Gibson – He’s $5K on DraftKings. I’ll need a lot of savings for most of my builds and Gibson is a player with a very unique skillset. If he can finally get some passing catching work with Mr. Dump-off, Kyle Allen, Gibson’s floor is realistically 3X value on this low salary.

Honorable Mention: Todd Gurley

Wide Receivers

DeAndre Hopkins – a 10% owned Hopkins is all I should need to say. The Jets’ secondary is awful and Hopkins target share is second-to-nobody on this slate.
Tyreek Hill – I love to writeup speedy pass catchers against the Las Vegas secondary. Hill is projected in the top-5 for receiving yards this weekend in the AETY Model and should realistically be 15-20% owned in NFL DFS GPP tournaments… not 5-10%.
JuJu Smith-Schuster – Your weekly pick on Nickell Robey-Coleman addition to the GPP article. Schuster is way too talented and owns a massive size advantage over Robey-Coleman. With Darius Slay spending most of his day on the outside with Diontae Johnson, Smith-Schuster should be in a sneaky big day.
DJ Chark – More exposure to this JAX/HOU shootout. Bradley Roby started the season strongly against Tyreek Hill and Marquise Brown, but I saw enough last week when Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen did whatever they wanted in the Minnesota passing attack. Chark is a main piece of my JAX/HOU game-stacks.

Laviska Shenault is also in an incredible spot against Vernon Hargreaves. I’ll have a ton of him as well this weekend for the salary relief and high-floor.
Devante Parker – This is a game with a high total that no one seems to be talking about. Parker is a #1 wide receiver priced under $6K (on DraftKings). That is something I look for every single week and this is a matchup where he can succeed in against a depleted 49ers’ secondary. You can mini-game stack him up with Kittle on the other side.

Honorable Mention: Tyler Boyd, Christian Kirk, Sammy Watkins, Isaiah Ford, Hollywood Brown, CeeDee Lamb

NFL DFS GPP Tight Ends

Travis Kelce – he’s the best PPR tight-end in the NFL and absolutely dominates the Raiders, historically. While everyone jams in CEH, you can pivot to the Chiefs’ passing attack for some differentiation in your NFL DFS GPP lineups.
Darren Waller – On the other side of your Chiefs stacks, roll out Waller. Hell, you can go double tight-end with Kelce if you’d like. The Raiders are 11-point underdogs here and will be chasing points which bodes very well for their top receiver, Darren Waller.
Hayden Hurst – Everyone wants to stack up CAR/ATL, but no one is playing Hayden Hurst? Julio Jones is likely to miss this game and that’s going to open up plenty of opportunity for Hayden Hurst. He’s going to score a touchdown on Sunday.
Eric Ebron – The Eagles are giving up over 18 DraftKings points to opposing tight-ends. Ebron is a red-zone monster and should easily find the box in this matchup at a very low price point and little-to-no ownership in NFL DFS GPP tournaments.

Honorable Mention: Mark Andrews, Zach Ertz, Dalton Schultz

Good luck to all this week in your NFL DFS GPP lineups!

3/14 DFS Diamonds: With DFS Pro Javi on MMA

Coby Williams 5 years ago

written by Coby Williams

I’ll be focusing on my core plays for the 3/14 Tournament for DFS MMA. This is focus around DraftKings ONLY because I HATE FanDuel right now and not ashamed of it. I’ll go fight by fight.

Kunchenko vs. dos Santos – 3/14 DFS

Kunchenko – $7,800 – He hasn’t had many tough battles and this is really his first real test. We don’t know what to expect with this guy, but he has showed some talent. You don’t have a 20-1 record for nothing, but for him, he’s faced a ton of garbage. He’s lucky he doesn’t have the Brazil home crowd against him, but he’s still going against a tough Brazilian opponent in dos Santos. His grappling and striking isn’t as good as dos Santos.

Zaleski dos Santos – $8,400 – Better grappling and striking game than Kuchenko like I said before. He’s got toughness and sharp striking and is my call to win this fight.

Javi’s Pick – dos Santos

Javi’s Thoughts – Tough fight to project. Could be a GPP play, but might avoid this fight in my DFS lineups.

Krylov vs. Walker – 3/14 DFS

Walker – $8,600 – Notorious for lots of first rounds wins, which is what we want in MMA as it provides the most points via first round wins, but he’s been getting a taste of his own medicine. I honestly think he comes into this match pissed and comes out strong, but he’s also been in the talks of being very overrated. He is 17-4 with 14 Knock Outs and some very high upside. More and more are betting on Krylov and because of this, I like Walker. He’s going to come out strong and potentially get the first win after losing in round 1 the last time out.

Krylov – $7,600 – Probably more well rounded than Walker and not new to this with a 26-7 record and I don’t hate choosing him over Walker, but Walker is going out with more to prove then Krylov.

Javi’s Pick – Walker

Javi’s Thoughts – Tough fight to pick as well, but I think it ends in round 1 for either one of these guys. You need this fight in your builds. I have EIGHT lineups tomorrow. I will have 4 of each in my 8 lines. AMEN!

Formiga vs. Moreno – 3/14 DFS

Formiga – $8,800 – This is actually the one fight I’m very confident in and it’s because of Formiga. He’s the better grappler, the better ground game, and the better overall fighter. He’s a LOCK for me

Moreno – $7,400 – Honestly, his 16-5 record doesn’t really show you how he really is, which is an overrated fighter that isn’t very good. I sense Formiga gets his submission versus Moreno in round 1. If Moreno is on the ground, it’s guaranteed over.

Javi’s Pick – Formiga

Javi’s Thoughts – Lock in Formiga for your CAPTAIN spot on FD and on your DK lines. If you’re doing 5 lines, leave Formiga out of 1-2. If you’re doing 3 lines, do 1 without Formiga.

Markos vs. Ribas – 3/14 DFS

Ribas – $9,300 – These women fights are super tricky because I always feel a high priced woman loses at least once per slate. I think this could be on the one. Ribas is in OK form and is a solid fighter, but super overpriced.

Markos – $6,900 – Markos is a weird fighter and her 10-8 record shows it. Markos has only been finished off ONCE and this makes for an interesting salary saver. She won’t go out easy and I think she can go the distance or even win this match.

Javi’s Pick – Ribas?

Javi’s Thoughts – Tough fight to project. Might be a fade for me and i definitely won’t be on Ribas. Like Markos more in this spot.

Barzola vs. Yahya – 3/14 DFS

Barzola – $8,700 – Younger, faster than his opponent, but usually winning by decision. Because of this , he lacks upside. He will be able to last long, but he’s not really a first round knockout kind of guy.

Yahya – $7,500 – He’s an older and slower fight and I believe he gets ran over by Barzola. Yahya is mainly a win by submission kind of guy and I don’t think he will have the chance. He will tire out and I think this will make him lose outright. Ride the safer play of Barzola.

Javi’s Pick – Barzola, but this fight will be a snooze

Javi’s Thoughts – FADE. I mean you’re more than welcome to get Barzola, who should win, but he won’t be a first round win and because of this, he lacks upside and big points.

Macedo vs. Malecki – 3/14 DFS

Macedo – $9,100 – 1-3 in her last 4 fights and she’s priced this high? This fight is gross and is usually a winner by submission. I’m fading this fight because it’s gross.

Malecki – $7,100 – Actually has more reach and weight behind her, but a sloppy fighter.

Javi’s Pick – Macedo?

Javi’s Thoughts – FADE. No thanks

Trinaldo vs. Makdessi – 3/14 DFS

Trinaldo – $8,900- He’s 42 years old and I want to start off and point out that I don’t like that at all. He’s slower and can get gassed easily. He’s considered one of the seasoned vets. He will definitely be hoping to take this to a decision as he’s just an older guy trying to get paid and finish the fight. Not really known for his knock outs and I’m not a fan of his opponent because Trinaldo really doesn’t like to get knocked out.

Makdessi – $7,300 – Younger, stronger, faster and an underdog. That being said, I’m taking him in this fight. Unfortunately, I think it goes to decision, which limits his upside, but at his price, a win by decision is OK. He is actually known for KO’s, but it will be tough to knock out Trinaldo , who isn’t known for this.

Javi’s Pick – Makdessi

Javi’s Thoughts – Makdessi is probably my FAVORITE salary saver so lock him in!

Lee vs. Oliveira – 3/14 DFS

Lee – $8,300 – Now we come to our most difficult decision. This fight is very, very TOUGH to predict. I think it doesn’t really last more than a round and it could go either way. He has terrible conditioning, which has made him vulnerable. This is a five round fight and it’s might go the distance. Lee is the better fighter for this fight, but if it goes past 2 rounds, he’s toast.

Oliveira – $7,900 – Known as a submission guy mainly who is also a seasoned vet with a 28-8 record. As I mentioned, if it goes the distance, Oliveira might come down with the W, but he can also make a sloppy and unconditioned Lee submit very easily.

Javi’s Pick – Oliveira

Javi’s Thoughts – I choose Oliviera because of price and that’s mainly it. I think it goes all 5 rounds so either fighter works, but I might fade this fight all together. It’s too risky

Burns vs. Maia – 3/14 DFS

Burns – $9,000 – Elite grappler who has solid power and should easily overcome the old man. I think he has a good shot at a round 1 submission so I like his upside a TON.

Maia – $7,200 – He’s another old guy. I don’t think he last long in this fight and could go by submission. I wouldnt be surpised if he gets knocked out as well. He is in bad form as of late. Sorry old man!

Javi’s Pick – Burns

Javi’s Thoughts – One of my favorite picks of the night. Lock in Burns.

Dvorak vs. Silva – 3/14 DFS

Dvorak – $8,000 – An 0-0 guy always gives me the jeepers creepers, but he’s really 17-3 with 8 knockouts. I was on a fade for this fight and leaning Silva until I got some insider info (a few buddies haha) who said to look into Dvorak and bet on him. He’s more powerful than Silver and he comes with heavy damage to whoever he fights.

Silva – $8,200 – Pretty even fight with Silva, who is more polished than Dvorak. The problem here is if Silva wins , it’ll be because he lasted the entire fight with maybe a late submission.

Javi’s Pick – Dvorak – Going with the friends!

Javi’s Thoughts – More of a GPP fight because it goes either way. Mostly a fade for me

Bueno Silva vs. Moroz – 3/14 DFS

Bueno Silva – $8,500 – 5-0 record with a heavy submission resume. Unfortunately, I’m not liking this match as much because of the lack of home field advantage. Moroz isn’t someone who is known for submitting so I do worry about this, but Bueno Silva is undefeated for a reason. Either way, I’m probably fading this fight.

Moroz – $7,700 – She has a real shot at winning this fight, but I think it may go the distance and it’ll be a snoozefest kind of fight.

Javi’s Pick – Bueno Silva

Javi’s Thoughts – Fade this match

Hadzovic vs. Moicano – 3/14 DFS

Hadzovic – $6,800 – Here we are. The final fight and my first MMA article. Honestly, he needs a knockout to win this most likely and half his wins are from knockout. I honestly think he has a shot at winning this in the first round or if it goes the distance. It’s no easy task versus a tough opponent like Moicano.

Moicano – $9,400 – High volume striker who is also an overall more polished fighter, who should take care of Hadzovic. He has a shot at knockout, but it could go the distance.

Javi’s Pick – Moicano

Javi’s Thoughts – I like both fighters in this fight and I think this match has a shot at going either way. What I’m going to do is hedge everything and go half and half on these guys. Probably use in 4 of my lineups and do 2 of each.

With MMA DFS, I recommend you LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE. Leave $500+ and be different and win the $50k (if I don’t)

2/19 DFS Diamonds: With DFS Pro Javi on PGA

Javier Prellezo 5 years ago

written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 2/20 Tournament for DFS PGA. I’m running a similar format to Sia and want to provide some insight into my 5-10 builds this weekend. This is focus around DraftKings ONLY.

10k and above – 2/19 DFS

Rory Mcllroy – Rory is one of the best golfers in the game right now and is ranked #1 in the world. He has FIVE straight top 5 finishes in his last FIVE events. It’s 5 for 5 in top 5 and my number one golfer this weekend.

Hideki Matsuyama – He has four top 15 finishes in his past 5 events and is also one of the hottest golfers in the game. He is due for a win and in top form. He does have two top 25 finishes in the 3 times he’s played here and ranks top 10 in all golfing categories across the board. He has struggled in putting and is more middle of the pack in regards to putting, but still locking him in a ton of lineups.

9k and above – 2/19 DFS

Adam Scott – Rule 1 in PGA DFS is don’t play the winner from the previous week, but I’m breaking this rule this weekend. Adam Scott is notorious for winning back to back events in the past and is in tip top form to win this tournament. If the broom putter is back out and he continues his dominant play, he could easily win this tournament once again. I like the form that Bryson DeChambeau, but his poor course history here worries me.

Xander Schauffele – As Sia mentioned, Xander’s form and specifically his ball-striking have been great. This is what I’m targeting plus he ranks top 10 in all golfing categories for me and has great course history!

8k and above – 2/19 DFS

Louis Oosthuizen – Listen, this guy is destroying the European tour and I’m riding the hot streak here. He is on fire and I just can’t fade him until I see regression.

Paul Casey – Again stealing Sia’s thunder, but “Great course history (3^rd, 12^th, and 166th) but recent history hasn’t been great which should keep ownership lower than many of the sexier names in this range like Sergio, Morikawa, Woodland, and Bubba, all of whom I will be fading.” His ATG and putting has been poor, but he’s been doing well in his past two tournaments. He needs to avoid the one day debacles that he continues to run into. No bueno if he does!

Bubba Watson – Bubba…. OOOOOOO Bubba. He missed two straight five foot putts to miss the cut and broke my heart. He cost me thousands, but let’s move on! He is going to have low ownership because of last weekend and his course history here. I like him as a sneaky bounce back play this week.

7k and above – 2/19 DFS

Abraham Ancer – The Golf Narrative hasnt worked much this year, but Ancer is in top form and even though he has poor course history, he’s one of two Mexicans on the course. I believe he will bounce back because of his recent poor experience here and he has been playing unbelievably. He might be higher owned this weekend, but I love the play.

Rafa Cabrera-Bello – This is far from a sexy play and might be more owned than I want him to be, but he has great course history and he’s similar to Bubba Watson in regards to playing very, very well in courses that he normally plays well at. With multiple top 20 finishes here, I like RCB as another bounce back candidate with a top 10 finish here!

6k and above – 2/19 DFS

Erik Van Rooyen – He burned us last weekend with missing the cut on day 2 after a solid day 1. He’s been “meh” here in the past, but he’s playing some good golf lately, but his approach to green is worrisome. Given the small greens, he might be in a better spot, but this is a riskier play in my eyes.

Carlos Ortiz – I’m once again stealing Sia’s notes on this…. sorry Sia! “Ortiz is from Mexico but has no competitive history on this course. While that’s not ideal, he has made the cut in 4 out of his last 5 events and that includes top 30 finishes in his last two. ” Narrative here!!

1/3 DFS Diamonds: With DFS Pro Javi on NFL

Javier Prellezo 5 years ago

written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 1/3 DFS Wild Card Weekend for NFL and take a deep dive for each position along with my favorite value plays.

My Core and Value Plays for ALL Builds :

Sexy 6 – 1/3 DFS

Michael Thomas, WR, NO – 1/3 DFS
- Michael Thomas is my first player for all my tournaments as I start to build out my lineups. He faces a Minnesota pass defense that is highly overrated and defends the tight end pretty well, but struggle in defending the WR. Lock in MT as he’s in line for a huge game this weekend.
Alvin Kamara, RB, NO – 1/3 DFS
- All this workload management for Kamara has led up to these next few weeks. He has been on fire the past few weeks and I think he continues this week against a suspect Minnesota defense.
Devin Singletary, RB, BUF – 1/3 DFS
- Load up my alma mater RB this weekend! Devin Singletary hailing from Boca Raton, FL and the greatest college in the world, FAU Owls. On a serious note, I feel like Houston is falling apart offensively and defensively and have limped into the playoffs. I think the Bills win this one outright even while on the road. Go Owls Go!
Julian Edelman, WR, NE – 1/3 DFS
- It’s the playoffs so this means the Patriots are back. Even though they look horrendous right now, you can’t deny that it’s Tom Brady SZN. I really hope the Titans win outright, but I think the Pats go to work and Edelman is the main reason for it. Titans secondary has been better, but Edelman is feeling better than he has the past few weeks and should smash this Titans secondary.
Buffalo Bills DST – 1/3 DFS
- Not ideal to run a Defense as a Sexy Six pick, but I think the Texans O Line is one of the worst and the Bills should get to Watson quite a few times.
John Brown, WR, BUF – 1/3 DFS
- I’m having a tough time whether to choose John Brown or Josh Allen. Given your build, I want to leave QB off the Sexy Six list. As you construct your lineup, make sure to stack QB and WR so if you can use Drew Brees with MT or Josh Allen with John Brown, I’d say go for it. John Brown is in a great spot against a bottom tier defense in the Texans. Lock him in!

Sexy 6 is the basis for all my builds in both cash and GPP builds. I will most likely lock in a minimum of FOUR for every contest. Due to salary constraints, I doubt I can get all six, but I recommend at least four or five of the recommended players.

12/20 DFS Diamonds: With DFS Pro Javi on NBA

Javier Prellezo 5 years ago

written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 12/20 DFS NBA for each position along with my favorite value plays.

WithNBA DFS, you need to stay locked in the final hour before lock until tipoff. Ifyou can’t be engaged during that hour, we recommend avoiding the NBA slate.Starting lineups and other news is vital to being successful in NBA DFS.

My Core and Value Plays for ALL Builds :

Sexy 6 – 12/20 DFS

Chris Boucher, PF/C – 12/20 DFS
- Siakam and Gasol are BOTH OUT for the Raptors today so enter Chris Boucher. When Marc Gasol or Serge Ibaka was out for multiple games last time, Boucher would smash value easily. It seems now he may even start with both out. Lock him in EVERY lineup except one if you’re doing ten or more.
Serge Ibaka or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson – 12/20 DFS
- Again, Siakam and Gasol are out so both will get extended runs. I hate Ibaka’s price tag, but he faces a terrible Washington team. Lock in Ibaka if you can afford it, but I prefer RHJ for his price tag.
Kyle Lowry, PG – 12/20 DFS
- Someone needs to score on the Raptors. If Fred VanVleet is IN today, I’ll probably do 33% Lowry, 33% VanVleet, and the rest to have BOTH in my lineup.
Kemba Walker, PG – 12/20 DFS
- Celtics are pretty banged up and Hayward may be OUT again. If he is, I’d lock in Kemba with Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum. If Hayward is IN, I’d just lock in Kemba. He’s still priced too cheap.
Andre Drummond, C – 12/20 DFS
- The banned from our DFS playlist Blake Griffin is doubtful tonight. I don’t like the matchup against the Celtics, but the Celtics big men can’t defend someone like Drummond, who needs to smash in order to keep this game from being a blowout.
Jimmy Butler or Bam Adebayo – 12/20 DFS
- They face New York. If you’re playing one, I’d recommend doing a second lineup and play the other. The End!

I’ve officially started a DO NOT PLAY list and Blake Griffin AND Jonathan Isaac are on that list. DO NOT PLAY them until further notice!

12/18 DFS Diamonds: With DFS Pro Javi on NBA

Javier Prellezo 5 years ago

written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 12/18 DFS NBA for each position along with my favorite value plays.

My Core and Value Plays for ALL Builds :

Sexy 6 – 12/18 DFS

Davis Bertans, SF/PF – 12/18 DFS
- Hachimura is officially out for the next five games so this means the door has opened for Bertans. I think he will be extra chalky tonight, especially on FD so I don’t hate the play on DK since he’s priced up on that site.
Ian Mahinmi, C (FD Only) – 12/18 DFS
Tristan Thompson, C (DK Only) – 12/18 DFS
- Center is my least favorite position tonight, especially on DK, but there is one that stands out and it is far from my favorite play. Thompson is not very trustworthy in DFS, but he faces Charlotte we love targeting the big man against Chicago or Charlotte. Mahinmi is priced too low on FD still and he faces Chicago.
Jeff Teague, PG – 12/18 DFS
- Karl Anthony-Towns may be OUT and if he is, I’m locking in Teague AND Wiggins, but as of now, let’s think he’s playing tonight. Teague is on the second team and is thriving in this role. They face one of the worst defenses today in the Pelicans and they are on the second night of a back to back after going to OT last night. I’m locked in on Teague!
Bradley Beal, SG – 12/18 DFS
- The Wizards are beat up and someone has to score against this terrible Chicago team. His usage has gone up and I expect him to go big on BOTH sites.
Jalen Brunson, PG – 12/18 DFS
- I don’t like the price tag now, but he’s starting and crushing the opportunity. I think I may change him off of the Sexy Six tag by end of the day, but let’s keep him here for now.
Pascal Siakam, SF on FD / PF/C on DK
- VanVleet is doubtful so bump up to Siakam. He’s another one I may remove the tag off of before lock.

I’ve officially started a DO NOT PLAY list and Blake Griffin is on that list. DO NOT PLAY him until further notice!

12/4 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

Javier Prellezo 5 years ago

written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 12/4 DFS NBA for each position along with my favorite value plays.

MyCore and Value Plays by Position:

Core Plays – PG – 12/4 DFS
- Trae Young, PG, ATL
- Luka Doncic, PG, DAL
  - I think I’m starting all my builds around these two guys. Doncic is unstoppable right now and sat out the whole 4^th quarter last night so he should be fresh. As for Trae, he could easily go for 50-60 tonight.
- Emmanuel Mudiay, PG, UTA – No Mike Conley tonight. It might be the best value play of the night!

Core Plays – SG- 12/4 DFS
- Core Play – Buddy Hield, SG, SAC
  - Hield is on fire lately and I think he could easily smash tonight in a high tempo matchup. My fear is it will either be him or Bogdanovic that will be the ones to crush and Bogdanovic is very low priced.
- Value Play – Terrance Ross, SG, ORL
- Other Value Play – Bogdan Bogdanovic, SG, SAC
  - Ross is too cheap on the second night on a back to back and should have done more yesterday. He’s getting the minutes and Augustin rose to the occasion. I think tonight is Ross’ night.
Core Plays – SF- 12/4 DFS
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, MIL
  - Giannis faces a terrible defense and high paced Pistons team. I lean toward Doncic and Trae tonight, but Giannis is the top play.
- Value Play – Taurean Prince, SF, BKN
- Other Value Play – Tim Hardaway Jr., SF, DAL
  - Prince and Hardaway are both starting and in killer matchups. I think I may fade Giannis and go these two with the matchup they have.
Core Plays – PF- 12/4 DFS
- Aaron Gordon, PF, ORL
- Frank Kaminsky, PF, PHX
- Cheick Diallo, PF, PHX
  - Now we get to the tougher position of the night. I like Aaron Gordon because he’s priced low with some high usage, but if he puts up a dud, he will be on the do not play list until further notice. As for Kaminsky and Diallo, they will get a ton of minutes with Baynes already ruled out.
Core Plays – C- 12/4 DFS
- Andre Drummond, C, DET
  - If Blake Griffin is OUT, I like this play more, but I fear a blowout versus the Bucks so I might just spend down.
- Lock Value Play – Mo Bamba, C, ORL
  - Bamba is getting about 20 minutes a game and is priced pretty cheaply. I will try for Drummond, but if I pay up for Trae and Doncic, it may be tough

Sexy 6
- Luka Doncic, PG, DAL
- Trae Young, PG, ATL
- Taurean Prince, SF, BKN
- Aaron Gordon, PF, ORL
- Frank Kaminsky or Cheick Diallo, PF, PHX
- Andre Drummond, C, MIL (If not, Mo Bamba)

Do Not Play List
- Kristaps Porzingis
- Rudy Gay
- Blake Griffin

12/2 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

Javier Prellezo 5 years ago

written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for 12/2 DFS NBA for each position along with my favorite value plays.

MyCore and Value Plays by Position:

Core Plays – PG – 12/2 DFS
- Trae Young, PG, ATL
- Ky Bowman, PG, GS
- Dennis Smith Jr., PG, NY
  - I’m listing three PG’s and I think Tomas Satoransky can also be considered here. With Smith Jr., he’s almost a lock on both sites if Ntilikina is OUT. If he’s in, I’ll go Bowman and Trae Young most likely. GS and ATL are two of the worst defenses in the league and both have killer matchups. I believe Bowman will start with Green out so be on the lookout in case he doesn’t start.
Core Plays – SG- 12/2 DFS
- Core Play – Zach Lavine, SG, CHI
  - Lavine is playing at another level these past four games. He has the potential to put up a dud like he did most of the season, but I tend to ride the hot streak against a beat-up Kings team, who allow a lot of points.
- Value Play – DeAndre Bembry, SG, ATL
  - I like this play more if Reddish is OUT. If in, you might be able to still use Bembry, especially on FD, as he’s too cheap
Core Plays – SF- 12/2 DFS
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, MIL
  - Giannis faces a terrible defense and high paced Knicks team. He’s my top pay up of the night. I’d love some Trae Young with him and it could happen with the value on the slate
- Value Play – Justin Holiday, SF, IND
  - Holiday has low key been a solid DFS contributor and if JaKarr Sampson is still OUT, he could get some more minutes once again. We need some salary savers if we want Lavine, ABC, and Trae.
Core Plays – PF- 12/2 DFS
- Al Horford, PF, PHI
- Eric Paschall, PF, GS
- Dario Saric, PF, PHX
  - Now we get to the tough position. I’m listing three because this position is actually quite ugly tonight. I list Horford, but it’s super risky with so many mouths to feed. The thing about the Utah Jazz is they defend well, but kind of struggle against the SF and PF position. Tobias Harris could be sneaky, but with PF being a crapshoot, I’d lean Paschall and Saric since they are way cheaper and have better matchups. I don’t hate Horford play though so I think it could work out.
Core Plays – C- 12/2 DFS
- Lock Value Play – Robin Lopez, C, MIL
  - Brook Lopez is doubtful and he’s still a minimum salary on FD. Don’t hesitate to lock him in on both sites. If I had done it, I’d have a live final ticket for NBA L

11/29 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

Jason Mezrahi 5 years ago

written by Jason Mezrahi

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for 11/29 NBA DFS for each position along with my favorite value plays.

MyCore and Value Plays by Position:

Core Plays – PG – 11/29 DFS
- Trae Young, PG, ATL
- Rajon Rondo, PG, LAL
- Ben Simmons, PG, PHI
  - PG is actually pretty tough today unless Jimmy Butler is ruled out. If he is ruled out, Nunn and Dragic are great plays. In the meantime, I’ll lock in Rondo at his salary versus a terrible defense in Washinton and Trae Young versus a Pacers team that is solid defensively, but struggle against the guard position. Ben Simmons is hit or miss every night so it’s risky to go his way with the price tag he’s at.
Core Plays – SG- 11/29 DFS
- Core Play – Evan Fournier, SG, ORL
- Other – Terrance Ross, SG, ORL
  - Lock in these 2 guys, especially on FD, if Aaron Gordon is out. They still are solid plays if he plays because he will be limited, but with Vuc out, someone still needs to score. A decent pivot is Dennis Schroder.
Core Plays – SF- 11/29 DFS
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, MIL OR LeBron James, SF, LAL
  - This position is loaded up today and with the fear of blowouts for both LeBron and Giannis, these plays could be risky. Both have killer matchups though and they need to get to the blowout score and someone needs to score!
- Other Plays – Tobias Harris, SF, PHI
  - Jonathan Isaac, SF, ORL
  - Pascal Siakam, SF, TOR
    - If you fear for blowouts for Giannis and LeBron, Tobias is in a good spot with Al Horford OUT and Isaac is in an even better spot if Aaron Gordon is OUT. Honestly, the safest and probably best play is Siakam.
Core Plays – PF- 11/29 DFS
- Bam Adebayo, PF MIA
- Kristaps Porzingis, PF, DAL
- Chris Boucher, PF, TOR
- Dario Saric, PF, PHX
  - PF is another tough spot as we don’t know if we can trust Porzingis right now because of his recent struggles. Bam is almost a lock if Butler is OUT. As for Boucher and Saric, they are cheap enough to trust and Saric is HEATING UP.
Core Plays – C- 11/29 DFS
- Andre Drummond, C, DET or Joel Embiid, C, PHI
  - Both have great matchups and I may lean Embiid with Horford out, but I don’t hate Drummond because he plays a Charlotte team that cant defend the big man.
- Lock Value Play – Mo Bamba, C, ORL
- Value Play 2 – If Cody Zeller is OUT, Bismack Biyombo, C, CHA
  - Bamba is getting minutes with Vuc out and I’ll lock in Biyombo is almost all my lineups if Zeller is OUT again.

11/26 DFS Diamonds: Week 13 NFL on Thanksgiving

Coby Williams 5 years ago

written by Coby Williams

Happy Tuesday! This is a special Thanksgiving article for the 3 game NFL slate. My goal is to do a deep dive into 11/26 Week 13 NFL Thanksgiving special to assist you in winning all the money this weekend. I’ll go game by game and go through my targets for each. Please enjoy this 11/26 DFS article and have a great weekend!

Please message me with any questionson our premium discord channel or Twitter. Happy reading! You can find me onTwitter @Javi_Prellezo.

NFL Week 13 Thanksgiving

Bears vs. Lions

The main question is whether we should trust Mitch Trubisky? He’s been so bad all year, but he’s in a great matchup versus the crappy Lions. I think we shouldn’t trust him, but I wouldn’t mind him in GPPs. I believe the cash plays are Matt Ryan or Drew Brees for this slate, but Trubisky is a solid play to pair up with Allen Robinson. Taylor Gabriel might be out so Anthony Miller might be a good salary saver even if we don’t like Trubisky. As for the Lions, I’m not on anyone from this site except for GPPs. Nothing is sneaky on a 3 game slate, but large GPPs should have some Lions stacks. David Montgomery is so cheap considering his matchup against a weak Lions run defense.

Core Plays – 11/26 DFS

Mitch Trubisky, QB, CHI
David Montgomery, RB, CHI
Allen Robinson, WR, CHI
Tarik Cohen, RB, CHI – DK Only

Value Plays – 11/26 DFS

David Montgomery, RB, CHI
Bo Scarbrough, RB, DET
J.D. McKissic, RB, DET – DK Only

Cowboys vs. Bills

Another one we can target for GPPs.This game doesn’t have as many sneaky plays, but Ezekiel Elliott might be thetop RB of the slate. I actually don’t like the matchup against a solid Billsdefense. I also do like Josh Allen as a solid option at QB. The chalk will beRyan and Brees, but Josh Allen could be a very solid play with his runningability. Devin Singletary could also besneaky as there aren’t many options at RB that we like.

Core Plays – 11/26 DFS

Josh Allen, QB, BUF
Dak Prescott, QB, DAL
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DAL

Value Plays – 11/26 DFS

Devin Singletary, RB, BUF
Cole Beasley, WR, BUF

Falcons vs. Saints

This is going to be the cash game of this slate. The issue is Matt Ryan is garbage this year and the Saints might play like they did the last time against the Falcons. This could be a cash game trap, but I like Michael Thomas as my top spend of this slate. As for the Saints RB situation, it scares me. What’s scarier than the Saints running game? It’s the Falcons running game. I think you need a Julio or Ridley in your lineup as well, but I think I lean Josh Allen over Ryan and Brees.

Core Plays – 11/26 DFS

Michael Thomas, WR, NO
Drew Brees, QB, NO
Matt Ryan, QB, ATL
Jared Cook, TE, NO

Favorite QBs – Cash

Drew Brees
Matt Ryan
Mitch Trubisky
Josh Allen
Dak Prescott

Favorite QBs – GPP

Josh Allen
Mitch Trubisky
Dak Prescott
Drew Brees
Matt Ryan
