NFL DFS GPP Advice – Stick’s Stacks for Week 10

brgrewe@gmail.com
written by brgrewe@gmail.com

Hopefully you all enjoyed a solid week of cashing in Week Nine NFL DFS GPP tournaments! We have another slimmer player pool to choose from coming up in Week 10 with only 10 games on the main slate. Let’s keep it rolling!

If you read the article and have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter or sign up for Premium Gold to join our Slack channel.

Like usual, it’s another great week to use 50% or more of your bankroll towards single entry cash games. Please check out my Cash Game Checkdown before you set your DFS lineups for Sunday. Lets get to work on Stick’s Stacks for Week 10.

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify team/game stacks that we are going to use for an NFL DFS GPP. For those of you that don’t know, a “team stack” is simply multiple players from the same team (I rarely ever use more than three players on a given team).

A “game stack” is similar, except we are going to use players from both teams in a given game. Focusing on team stacks and game stacks is incredibly useful in the NFL DFS GPP environment. That being said, let’s get to this week’s top NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings!

Top NFL DFS GPP Game Stacks

Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-4.5) O/U (51)

If you’re looking for an up-paced game to stack in Week 10 DFS, look no further. Both of these defenses sit in the top three for fantasy points allowed per game on DraftKings and both of these offenses love to play fast. All signs point to a shootout here and I’ll be heavily invested on getting exposure to this game. Better yet, it’s not too difficult to figure out where the production is going to come from.

In terms of game stacks, this looks like it’s the only game I want to fully invest in for my main NFL DFS GPP lineups. I’m going to have a rather narrow player pool this week and really take a stance on where I want to go for exposure (outside of obvious one-offs).

Arizona Cardinals

  • Kyler Murray ($6,500)
  • Christian Kirk ($5,200)
  • Larry Fitzgerald ($5,500)
  • David Johnson ($5,700) – Personally, I’ll be underweight on these AZ running backs. I don’t want to guess on who is going to get the most opportunity and the Tampa Bay run defense is stout. Leave these RBs to larger field GPPs or MME style of DFS.
  • Kenyan Drake ($5,500) – See above.

Tampa Bay Bucanneers

  • Chris Godwin ($7,400)
  • Mike Evans ($7,600)
  • Ronald Jones ($4,300)
  • Jameis Winston ($6,800)
  • Breshad Perriman ($3,000) – Excellent punt play if you have to save some salary but still get exposure to this game. Over 60% snap share in the past two weeks and starting to get some targets.
  • Cameron Brate ($3,700) & O.J. Howard ($3,300) – Not sure you want to mess with either of these tight ends, but they are playing the Cardinals’ defense, who bleed points to opposing tight ends.

Top NFL DFS GPP Team Stacks

New Orleans Saints

No surprise here that we are extremely interested in the New Orleans Saints’ offense at home in the dome, against the Falcons. EVERYONE torches the Falcons in 2019 and this game will be no different. The Falcons defense is brutal in all aspects of the game, but I really like to pick on them with opposing quarterbacks and wide receivers (their secondary ranks dead last in coverage according to Pro Football Focus).

The Saints have an implied team total of 32 points, which is almost five points higher than anyone else on the board. They are a 13-point favorite against Atlanta, so there are certainly blowout concerns that lead to a run-heavy, second half game script.

I still strongly believe Drew Brees and Michael Thomas are the best duo to pair together this week in DFS. They’ll still have their chances to do damage and hit value for our lineups. At this time, I’m not sure I really want to play anyone on the Atlanta side of the ball besides Austin Hooper and a few shares of Julio Jones, Matt Ryan, and Calvin Ridley. You can definitely game stack this game as you know Atlanta will have to pass a ton.

  • Michael Thomas ($8,300)
  • Drew Brees ($6,700)
  • Tedd Ginn Jr. ($3,700)
  • Alvin Kamara ($8,200) – Too expensive in my opinion unless we hear news that he won’t be splitting snaps with Latavius Murray. Which I don’t see as a feasible game-plan.
  • Latavius Murray ($7,300) – Time share concerns? One of these running backs is going to score a touchdown or two.
  • Jared Cook ($4,100) – Large field GPPs.
  • New Orleans Saints DST ($3,700)

Kansas City Chiefs

It appears Patrick Mahomes will be returning this week so needless to say, we are going to be interested in the Chiefs’ offense. If you’ve been reading the articles the last couple of weeks, you know I love to pick on the Titans’ secondary (who are now missing Malcolm Butler with injury). If Mahomes is a go, this is a matchup we should be licking our chops for.

As of now, it looks like the public is not going too heavy on the Chiefs’ offense this week. Let’s buy in while the ownership is down.

  • Tyreek Hill ($7,700) – We loved Mike Evans in Week Eight in this matchup and he went off. We loved D.J. Moore in this matchup last week and he went off. Tyreek Hill is more explosive and a better route runner than both of them…
  • Patrick Mahomes ($7,000)
  • Travis Kelce ($6,400)
  • Sammy Watkins ($5,100)
  • Damien Williams ($4,900) – 70%+ snap share last week. I want to have a share of Kansas City in every GPP lineup I make this week. If I’m not using Mahomes and a pass catcher(s) in a lineup, I’ll have Damien Williams in there.

Baltimore Ravens

It’s hard to overlook the Ravens’ offense this week in an absolute smash matchup against the Bengals with an implied total of 28 points. We have blowout concerns as the Ravens are favored by 10 points on the road, but you can always consider Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense against a sieve defense (who ranks around the third worst in terms of passing and running defense DVOA).

  • Lamar Jackson ($7,300)
  • Marquise Brown ($5,100) – Great price for a home-run type of DFS play.
  • Mark Ingram ($7,100)
  • Mark Andrews ($5,200)
  • Willie Snead ($4,000)

Sample NFL DFS GPP Lineup

QB: Kyler Murray
RB: Christian McCaffrey
RB: Ronald Jones
WR: Christian Kirk
WR: Chris Godwin
WR: Marquise Brown
TE: Mike Gesicki
FLEX: David Montgomery
DST: Pittsburgh Steelers

11/6 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

Coby Williams
written by Coby Williams
I’ll be focusing on my 11/6 DFS core and GPP plays for NBA DFS for eachposition along with my favorite value plays.   We’ve come to thepoint where we know most of the NBA teams and which defense to target. It is vital to NOT play NBA DFS if you cannot keep track until the final tip. Thelast hour before lock is the most importantWe mentioned this in our Premium Slack Channel, but with NBA DFS, you need to stay locked in between the final hour before lock until tipoff. If you 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 by Position:
  • Core Plays – PG – 11/6 DFS
    • Malcolm Brogdon, PG, IND
      • On a second night of a back to back , this could be risky, but they are playing a terrible team in the Washington Wizards. Given they went to OT, they could have tired legs, but I like the smash spot he’s in. I’m hoping he gets lower ownership because of this. Lock him in
    • Value Play – Coby White, PG, CHI
      • We need some salary savers with Drummond, Towns, Embiid, Giannis, Harden, Westbrook, etc. in todays slate and I think we have it in Coby White. He crushed the Lakers last night and I think he can have his way with Atlanta tonight. Both teams are tied and both teams are on a second night of a back to back. It could be highest scoring game on slate.
  • Core Plays – SG- 11/6 DFS
    • Lou Williams, SG, LAC
      • Interesting position as Kawhi has already been ruled out. I think the Clippers have some of the best value on the slate because of this and someone needs to score. My vote is on Sweet Lou, but he has a tough matchup in the Bucks. Could be risky, but he’s a nice salary server.
    • Value Play – Bruce Brown, SG, DET
      • There will be no Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier, Reggie Jackson tonight and what does this mean? It lock in Bruce Brown… again!
  • Core Plays – SF- 11/6 DFS
    • T.J. Warren
      • With facing Washington, I expect a high scoring and high paced game with T.J. Warren a key benefactor. Unless Sabonis or Turner play, he is a lock. Similar to what we said about Brogdon.
    • Value Play – Troy Brown, SF, WAS
      • Brown is beginning to get minutes over Bonga and he has potential to start, but even if he doesn’t, save some money and go Troy Brown’s way.
  • Core Plays – PF- 11/6 DFS
    • JaMychal Green, PF, LAC
      • Green’s usage was through the roof on the first game that Kawhi sat. I think he could go as the top salary saver and you can pair him with Sabonis at PF (if he plays).  Green has a tough matchup, but he’s too cheap.
      • We need to hear Sabonis and Turner news because if they are out. I’m all in on Brogdon and Warren if both sit out with some shares of Jeremy Lamb.
    • I don’t have another favorite PF besides Green, but if I ranked it by what I like for the slate, here’s my order:
      • Julius Randle
      • Eric Paschall
      • Jabari Parker – His price skyrocketed!
      • Rui Hachimura
      • Lauri Markkanen
  • Core Plays – C- 11/6 DFS
    • Andre Drummond, C, DET
      • I’m all in on Drummond. He has a banged up squad behind him and he is in a matchup against the defensively challenged Knicks. The Knicks are not a good team so Drummond could post the same line as this past Saturday and Monday.
      • I pretty much stole the above from my article on Monday.
    • Value Play – Goga Bitadze, C, IND
      • Only play if Sabonis and Turner are BOTH out. Smashed last night and could do it again.

11/4 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NHL

Javier Prellezo
written by Javier Prellezo

It’s a small four game slate tonight and nothing is going to be sneaky tonight, but I’ll dive into my favorite plays tonight. We’ve come to the point at 11/4 DFS where we know most of the NHL teams and which defense to target. It’s very sad that we don’t have the Florida Panthers tonight, but we’ll be fine!

Top Expensive Line – 11/4 DFS

Nashville One – Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, Matt Duchene, and Roman Josi

With asmall slate, nothing is going to sneaky. I can’t emphasize this enough, butwith the second highest total on the slate, Nashville is a top play and I thinkI prefer them over Boston’s top line because of their price. It’s a toss upbetween Boston and Nashville and I lean Nashville because of their matchupagainst the defensively challenged Detroit Red Wings. Let’s lock them in tonightand hope they crush over that Boston top line.

Top Value Line – 11/4 DFS

New York Rangers PP Two – PavelBuchnevich, Jacob Trouba, and Filip Chytil

Rangersfaces off against the Senators and the Senators are a brutal team defensively.They allow a ton of shots and goals and I think the Rangers second Power Play lineis going to sneaky. They aren’t the highest scoring line, but I think it couldbe sneaky tonight.

11/4 DFS – NHL Rankings

Top ThreeForwards/Centers

  1. DavidPastrnak – Boston Bruins
  2. FilipForsberg– Nashville Predators
  3. ArtemiPanarin – New York Rangers

Top Three Defenders

  1. RomanJosi – Nashville Predators
  2. ToreyKrug – Boston Bruins
  3. JacobTrouba – New York Rangers

Top Goalies

  1. PekkaRinne – Nashville Predators
  2. AlexanderGeorgiev – New York Rangers
  3. MikeSmith – Edmonton Oilers

11/4 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

Javier Prellezo
written by Javier Prellezo

I’ll be focusing on my 11/4 DFS core and GPP plays for NBA DFS for each position along with my favorite value plays.   We’ve come to the point at 11/4 DFS where we know most of the NBA teams and which defense to target. It is vital to NOT play NBA DFS if you cannot keep track until the final tip. The last hour before lock is the most important

Wementioned this in our Premium Slack Channel yesterday, but with NBA DFS, youneed to stay locked in between the final hour before lock until tipoff. If youcan’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.

MyCore and Value Plays by Position:

  • Core Plays – PG – 11/4 DFS
    • Ben Simmons, PG, PHI
      • No Joel Embiid means smash spot for Ben Simmons against the high paced Suns. My fear is Ricky Rubio will be on Simmons and he isn’t a bad defender, but Simmons does have like a foot on him. No Embiid means more usage to go around and I believe Simmons can benefit the most like he usually does
    • Value Play – Jeff Teague, PG, MIN and Kyle Bowman, PG, GS
      • I don’t like the matchup, but Towns is out again. Someone needs to score on this team and I think it will be him or Wiggins. I love the price tag of Teague, but if D’Angelo Russell is out again, Kyle Bowman might be an even better salary saver.
  • Core Plays – SG- 11/4 DFS
    • Lock Play – James Harden, SG, HOU
    • Andrew Wiggins, SG, MIN and Bradley Beal, SG, WAS
      • As I mentioned, Towns is out and someone needs to score on MIN. The main guys are Teague or Wiggins even with a tough matchup against the Bucks.  As for Beal , he faces a high paced Pistons team who is pretty beaten up. The game total isn’t as high as some of the others, but I think Beal is in a smash spot.
      • As for Harden, Westbrook is out tonight. Lock in Harden!
    • Value Play – Bruce Brown, SG, DET
      • There will be no Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier, Reggie Jackson tonight and what does this mean? It means low salary Bruce Brown will be starting at PG and he is $3,900 on FD. Lock him in!
  • Core Plays – SF- 11/4 DFS
    • Tobias Harris, SF, DET
      • Once again, there is no Joel Embiid and someone needs to take over the usage left by Embiid.  Harris thrives when Embiid is out and he will continue in this matchup against the Suns.
    • Value Play – Mario Hezonja, SF, POR, Luke Kennard, SF, DET, and Eric Gordon, SF, HOU
      • If Hezonja starts, I think he will be in a smash spot at a very low salary, but we may not find out until after lock. If we cant get the news that he’s starting in time, I’m okay with a pivot to Kennard as DET is banged up and he crushed it this last time around when all the guards were out last game.
      • Gordon is starting with Westbrook out so at such a low salary, he should be a good spot.
  • Core Plays – PF- 11/4 DFS
    • Al Horford, PF, PHI
      • Once again, Embiid is out. Lock in Horford, Simmons, and Harris. I think the best route is to use two of the three, but it may work out to use all three. It worked on Saturday night and it could work again tonight.
    • Value Play – Brandon Clarke, PF, MEM and Robert Covington, PF. MIN
      • Clarke should be starting for Jaren Jackson tonight as he’s listed as doubtful. He should be a solid salary saver tonight with Jackson out. As for Covington, it is the same deal with Wiggins and Teague because Towns is out. My fear is Giannis might be on Covington so it’s a bad matchup
  • Core Plays – C- 11/4 DFS
    • Andre Drummond, C, DET
      • I’m all in on Drummond. He has a banged up squad behind him and he is in a matchup against the defensively challenged Wizards. The Wizards are not a good team so Drummond could post the same line as this past Saturday.
    • Lock Value Play – Gorgui Dieng, C, MIN
      • Dieng is probably starting with Towns out and he’s almost the bare minimum tonight. If you need the salary and can’t pay up for Drummond, don’t even think twice and go Dieng. Plain and simple.

NFL DFS GPP Advice – Stick’s Stacks for Week 9

Brandon C. Williams
written by Brandon C. Williams

Week Eight was by far my most profitable week on the 2019 DFS season. We absolutely smashed our cash games and finished top-five in multiple single entry NFL DFS GPP tournaments! Hell, even the sample lineup from last week’s Stick’s Stacks scored 202.2 DraftKings points! I hope you played it!

As you saw in my articles last week and heard on the Win Daily Sunday Livestream, my three favorite spots to get exposure to were the following:

  • Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans
  • New York Giants @ Detroit Lions (had a lot of exposure to Darius Slayton, Barkley, and Stafford/Golladay)
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Mike Evans as our top WR play on the slate)

Let’s keep it rolling again in Week Nine where we have one of our smaller slates on the year with just 10 games on the main slate. If you read the article and have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter or sign up for Premium Gold to join our Slack channel.

Like usual, it’s another great week to use 50% or more of your bankroll towards single entry cash games. Please check out my Cash Game Checkdown before you set your DFS lineups for Sunday. Lets get to work on Stick’s Stacks for Week Nine.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify team/game stacks that we are going to use for an NFL DFS GPP. For those of you that don’t know, a “team stack” is simply multiple players from the same team (I rarely ever use more than three players on a given team).

A “game stack” is similar, except we are going to use players from both teams in a given game. Focusing on team stacks and game stacks is incredibly useful in the NFL DFS GPP environment. That being said, let’s get to this week’s top NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings!

Top NFL DFS GPP Game Stacks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Seattle Seahawks (-6) O/U (52.5)

This game in Seattle looks to be one of the heavier chalk games on the slate in the DFS world – and I’ll probably be overweight on it as well. There’s obviously plenty of reasons to love the Seahawks’ passing game here so we won’t go into detail on that. Opposing teams are throwing over 64% of the time against Seattle, so for Tampa, we just need Jameis Winston to play well and not throw five picks for him to hit value.

Tampa has a top-five run defense and has been a pass-funnel defense all year long, so there is clearly merit with loving the Seahawks’ air attack this week. If they can put up points in a hurry, Jameis Winston and the Bucs should be forced to throw it 45+ times and lead to a shootout.

What’s great about this game is it’s not difficult to handicap where the production is going to come from on either team. This is a perfect game to stack up!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Chris Godwin ($7,300) – I’m much higher on Godwin this week in comparison to Evans. Only using Evans in lineups where I stack this game.
  • Mike Evans ($7,200)
  • Jameis Winston ($6,100)
  • Cameron Brate ($3,100)

Seattle Seahawks

  • Russell Wilson ($7,100)
  • Tyler Lockett ($7,500)
  • Chris Carson ($7,200)
  • DK Metcalf ($5,700)
  • Jacob Hollister ($2,800) – Large field GPP only.

Detroit Lions @ Oakland Raiders (-2) O/U (50.5)

Back to back weeks of having a lot of interest in both the Lions’ and Raiders’ offenses. Both of these defenses have struggled of late and it’s one of the highest expected totals on the slate with a tight spread.

The Lions’ running game looked absolutely broken last week now that Kerryon Johnson is on IR. This is another week where we can be confident in Stafford and company moving the ball via the pass. That slow-paced, run-first Lions’ gamescript is no longer a thing. In addition, the Raiders have allowed the most DraftKings points to opposing QB’s over the past month.

On the other side, the Raiders should have no issues moving the ball as the Lions have allowed the fourth most DraftKings’ points to both opposing QB’s and RB’s in their last three games. Keep an eye on whether or not Darius Slay suits up for this one, but I don’t think he’s anything you need to be truly concerned about from a DFS perspective.

Detroit Lions

  • Kenny Golladay ($7,700)
  • Matthew Stafford ($6,800)
  • Danny Amendola ($4,700) – Wish he was cheaper, but this is a great spot for a guy coming off of back to back weeks of nearly 70% snap share. He should destroy Lamarcus Joyner.
  • Marvin Jones Jr. ($6,000)
  • T.J. Hockenson ($3,700)

Oakland Raiders

  • Darren Waller ($6,300)
  • Josh Jacobs ($6,500)
  • Derek Carr ($5,500)
  • Tyrell Williams ($5,900)
  • Zay Jones ($3,000) – MME punt play.

Minnesota Vikings @ Kansas City Chiefs (TBD) O/U (TBD)

At first glance, it’s looking like this game isn’t drawing much attention from the DFS community early in the week. This can obviously change quickly if Patrick Mahomes were to be ruled in, but all signs point to Matt Moore being under center for this one.

I don’t want to completely stack this game up, but I will have exposure to both of these offenses in my NFL DFS GPP roster builds.

Minnesota Vikings

  • Dalvin Cook ($9,500)
  • Stefon Diggs ($7,600)
  • Kirk Cousins ($6,700)
  • Adam Thielen ($7,800) – Keep an eye on his injury status

Kansas City Chiefs

  • Tyreek Hill ($7,400)
  • Travis Kelce ($6,900)
  • Sammy Watkins ($4,900)
  • Matt Moore ($4,800)

Top DFS GPP Team Stacks

Carolina Panthers

Naturally, I like to be a little contrarian with some of my GPP builds and stacks for larger field GPPs. Last week, I had faith in the Bears and they let me down a bit, but my lineups with David Montgomery absolutely smashed. This week, I’m going to do a stack or two with the Carolina Panthers.

Tampa Bay paid off for us last week, so why not pick on this Tennessee secondary once again this week? They’re extremely banged up and truthfully, I don’t respect their secondary when healthy. McCaffrey is always in play, but if you want to leverage away from McCaffrey ownership in a GPP, use Kyle Allen and one or two of these wideouts.

  • D.J. Moore ($4,800) – Absolutely love his spot this week. He will probably be a lock for me in cash games and heavily involved as salary relief in my main GPP builds.
  • Christian McCaffrey ($10,000)
  • Curtis Samuel ($4,300)
  • Kyle Allen ($5,200)
  • Greg Olsen ($3,500)

Chicago Bears

Who am I kidding? I’ll go back to the well once more this week in one or two large-field GPP tournaments with a Bears stack (probably safer to just use two Bears at most). You don’t need them to go off as they really open up your ability to pay up for a pair of top-tier RBs (just look at last week’s sample GPP lineup!). We’ve been picking on this Eagles’ pass defense all year so there’s no reason to stop now.

  • Allen Robinson ($6,800)
  • Mitch Trubisky ($5,000)
  • Taylor Gabriel ($3,900)
  • Anthony Miller ($3,700)
  • David Montgomery ($5,200)

Sample NFL DFS GPP Lineup

QB: Mitch Trubisky
RB: Dalvin Cook
RB: Jaylen Samuels (make sure Conner is out)
WR: Allen Robinson
WR: Tyler Lockett
WR: D.J. Moore
TE: Cameron Brate
FLEX: Nick Chubb
DST: Washington Redskins

NFLWeek 9

Lionsvs. Raiders – Game Stack of the Week #1

Unfortunatelywe have no Atlanta Falcons defense to pick on this week , but I like picking onthe Raiders pass defense as well.  On topof all that, I like attacking the beat up secondary of the Lions as well. Withthe bad secondaries and terrible pass defenses, sign me up for this shootout ofa game. This game will probably garner a lot of ownership, but have no fear becauseI have a second game stack of the week for you all.

    • AdamThielen on FD = Broken Price

NBA – 10/30 DFS

I’llbe focusing on my core and GPP plays for each position along with my favoritevalue plays.   I did mention that I like to wait and see two weeksbefore I go heavy into my bankroll for NBA to see what offenses to targetagainst bad defenses. For example, the Clippers were one of the worst defenseslast year, but with some big upgrades this season, I see them as a Top 10defense now. This is why I like the wait and see approach for the first fewweeks of the season.

Wementioned this in our Premium Slack Channel yesterday, but with NBA DFS, youneed to stay locked in between the final hour before lock until lock. If youcan’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. I willstill be playing a good chunk for the first few weeks so let’s win some moneyand dive in.

My 10/30 DFS Core and Value Plays by Position:

  • Core Plays – PG
    • Ricky Rubio, PG, PHX –  FD: $6,500 ; DK – $6,200
      • Ricky Rubio is on FIRE. He continues to thrive on the Suns and I expect him to continue versus a Golden State team who allows about 200 points per game. On a serious note, I expect a very high scoring game and Rubio is still too cheap
    • Value Play – TBD
      • Honestly don’t see one right now and I feel like spending on Brogdon or Lowry on FD to pair with Rubio. Rubio is a lock. I can see the play for Westbrook, but I fear a blowout versus a rebuilding Washington team.
  • Core Plays – SG
    • RJ Barrett, SG, NY – FD : $7,200; DK – $6,500
      • I will be the first to admit that I was not a fan of RJ coming into the season. I thought he was an overrated player and I didn’t believe him to thrive in the NBA. My exact words from Monday and I’ll mirror it again. He faces a weak team in Orlando and I expect a higher paced game with him thriving once again
    • Value Play – Bogdan Bogdanovic, SG, TOR – FD : $5,300; DK – $3,800
      • With a banged up Kings frontcourt, it’s only a matter of team before Bogdan finally gets going. He is usually the first man off the bench, but he thrives as the sixth man and I expect him to have a huge game very soon. This could be the game
  • Core Plays – SF
    • Pascal Siakam, SF, TOR– FD : $8,600; DK – $8,400
    • Kelly Oubre, SF, PHX– FD : $6,900; DK – $6,200
    • Bojan Bogdanovic, SF, UTA– FD : $6,400; DK – $5,500
    • T.J. Warren, SF, IND– FD : $5,900; DK – $5,600
      • I’m loading up the SF position because I literally like these five guys. I’m finding a tough time finding value on this slate, but I’m liking my player pool to consist of these five guys. I’ll be building only three lineups tomorrow and I figure to have these five guys in my three lineups.
      • **UPDATE – Kawhi is OUT. Might be able to find value for him tonight. Usage for Clips will go up also, but don’t like the matchup. **
  • Core Plays – PF
    • Domantas Sabonis, PF, IND – FD: $8,400; DK – $7,900
      • I’m going to go back to the well with Sabonis on this slate. Brooklyn still has a tough time defending the big man and I expect him or Myles Turner to go off. I’ll take my chances on Sabonis.
    • Value Play – Nemanja Bjelica, PF, SAC –  FD : $4,900; DK – $4,400
      • With Bagley out for four to six weeks, Bjelica has taken over and he finally had a killer game his last time out.  They play a bad Charlotte team who can’t defend the bigs so I’ll load up on some value with him.
  • Core Plays – C
    • Myles Turner, C, POR – FD: $7,400; DK – $7,000
    • Cody Zeller, C, POR – FD: $6,600; DK – $6,000
    • DeAndre Jordan, C, BKN – FD: $5,000 ; DK – $4,700
      • This is another spot where I plan to find some value. Embiid, Drummond, and Towns are all playing and in phenomenal matchups , especially Embiid and Towns who face off against each other, but I want value at Center. I feel like I may pivot to Embiid or Towns as the day progresses, but I’ll hold tight with these three for now. I don’t like Sabonis and Turner in the same lineup, but it could work.

**UPDATED VALUE PLAYS**

  • Dario Saric, PF, PHX
  • Dewayne Dedmon, C, SAC
  • Davis Bertans, PF, WSH
  • Marcus Smart, SG, BOS
  • Dwayne Bacon, SG, CHA
  • Nerlens Noel, PF, OKC

Javi’s Sexy Six

  • Steph Curry, PG, GS
  • Ricky Rubio, PG, PHX
  • Dario Saric, PF, PHX or Kelly Oubre, Jr., SF, PHX or Devin Booker, SG, PHX
  • Pascal Siakam, SF, TOR
  • Davis Bertans, PF, WAS or Marcus Smart, SG, BOS
  • Myles Turner, C, IND or Cody Zeller, C, CHA
    • If you can fit Embiid, C, PHI then go for it!

NHL– 10/30 DFS

I’llbe focusing on my core plays for NHL slate. I’ll be focusing on my favoritegoaltenders and the two games I want to focus on. With these games, I plan ontargeting the power-play units instead of the lines. I’ve come to conclusionthat targeting a team from each of these games paired with the top goaltenderhave been the most successful method thus far. For cash, you can focus on a2-2-2-2 stack and go with a 3-3-2 or 4-3-1 stack for GPPs.

I’lltry to update this closer to lock.

My 10/30 DFS Core and Value Plays by Position:

  • Panthers vs. Avs – Favorite Game Stack
    • I like this game because it’s the highest implied goal total for the night and because we go back to the well with the defensive deficient Florida Panthers. As much as I believe in them, I target the Avs side this game as I think the Panthers are tired from the west coast road trip and they play against one of the hottest teams in the Avs
    • Players to Target:
      • Florida PP1
        • Aleksander Barkov, C, FLA – Expensive, but hasn’t scored a goal. This could be the game to score one or two as the Avs don’t play the best defense
        • Jonathan Huberdeau, W, FLA
        • Mike Hoffman, W, FLA
        • Keith Yandle, D, FLA
        • Evgenii Dadonov, W, FLA
      • Favorite Stack – Colorado PP1 – Good value with Rantenan and Landeskog out.
        • Nathan McKinnon, C, COL
        • Nazem Kadri, C, COL
        • Andre Burakovsky, W, COL
        • Sam Girard, D, COL
  • Coyotes vs. Canadiens
    • This is my sneaky stack of the night. The Lightning and Devils game is tied for highest Vegas total with the Panthers-Avs, but I think this game comes out to be one of the higher scoring games. I believe it’s a pure GPP play, but they could garner ownership with a smaller slate. Even though the Canadiens are on the road, I like their side more than the Coyotes. I do like the Coyotes PP1 as value.
    • Favorite Players
      • Value Play – Coyotes PP1
        • Clayton Keller, W, ARI
        • Phil Kessel, W, ARI
        • Derek Stephan, C, ARI
        • Christian Dvorak, C, ARI
        • Oliver Ekman-Larsson, D, ARI
      • Core Play – MON PP1
        • Brendan Gallagher, W, MON
        • Jonathan Drouin, W, MON
        • Shea Weber, D, MON
        • Jesperi Kotkaniemi, C, MON
      • Core Play – MON PP2
        • Max Domi, C, MON
        • Tomas Tatar, W, MON
        • Jeff Petry, D, MON
        • Joel Armia, W, MON

10/25 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on Week 8 NFL, NBA, and Props

Coby Williams
written by Coby Williams

HappyFriday to all of you  and welcome to the “DeepDive for Week 8” with some NBA and props. I’ll go game by game, but know thatjust because I might be avoiding the game doesn’t mean I won’t throw in alineup or 3 in the Milly Maker. Usually, the team we avoid or the team facingoff against a good defense gets lucky and could off. You just never know. Pleasealso see the deep dive for NBA tonight below the football along with myfavorite props for NBA tonight.

Pleasemessage me with any questions on our premium slack channel or Twitter. Happyreading!

DeepDive for NFL Week 8

Seahawksvs. Falcons – Game Stack of the Week

Sign meup for any team facing the Falcons. It’s safe to say that the Falcons are oneof the worst defense and teams in the NFL. Even though Russell Wilson is themost expensive QB this week, I’ll have a bunch of Wilson lineups with TylerLockett and DK Metcalf stacks. I might even double up on WR for the Seahawks inmost of my lineups. With Dissly out, Wilson needs to throw it to someone. Asfor the Falcons, let’s wait and see on Matt Ryan’s status throughout the weekas I do like the Atlanta side as well with the Seahawks having a pretty weaksecondary.

Core Plays  – 10/25 DFS

  • FanDuel
    • Russell Wilson, QB, SEA – $8,600
    • Chris Carson, RB, SEA – $8,000
    • Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA – $7,200
    • DK Metcalf, WR, SEA – $6,600
    • Julio Jones, WR, ATL – $7,800 (If Ryan plays)
    • Austin Hooper, TE, ATL – $6,600 (More if Schaub plays)
  • DraftKings
    • Russell Wilson, QB, SEA – $7,200
    • Chris Carson, RB, SEA – $7,000
    • Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA – $7,000

    • Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL – $5,400
  • DraftKings
    • Jaron Brown, WR, SEA – $4,000
    • Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL – $5,600
    • Matt Ryan, QB, ATL – $6,000 (If he plays)

Texansvs. Raiders

This isthe shootout game of the week. Both defenses are middle to lower tier and bothhave some above average offenses.  I expect a lot of points in this gameand a lot of Deshaun Watson with Kenny Stills and DeAndre Hopkins in my GPPs. Ibelieve Watson paired with Hopkins might be one of the higher owned QB-WRstacks this week, especially with Fuller gone. I also like Derek Carr withDarren Waller as it seems they have a great thing going right now. The onlything is they finally fixed Waller’s price so it’s not as low as it has beenthe past few weeks. Josh Jacobs pricing on DraftKings is broken. He will mostlikely be in a ton of my lineups.

Core Plays  – 10/25 DFS

  • FanDuel
    • DeAndre Hopkins, WR, HOU – $8,200
    • Deshaun Watson, QB, HOU – $8,400
    • Josh Jacobs, RB, OAK – $7,200
  • DraftKings
    • DeAndre Hopkins, WR, HOU – $8,100
    • Deshaun Watson, QB, HOU – $7,100
    • Josh Jacobs, RB, OAK – $5,800

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Derek Carr, QB, OAK – $6,900
    • Kenny Stills, WR, HOU – $5,700
  • DraftKings
    • Derek Carr, QB, OAK – $5,000
    • Kenny Stills, WR, HOU – $4,700
    • Josh Jacobs, RB, OAK – $5,800

Saintsvs. Cardinals

This isgoing to be more of a one sided target for me this week. I love TeddyBridgewater , but only if he plays. I want to hold off on Drew Brees if he’sback because we aren’t sure how he will do after missing over a month. If JaredCook plays, we can play the game of playing the tight end versus the Cardinalsas we have all season. The Cardinals can’t stop the tight end unless their nameis Evan Engram or Tyler Eifert.  TheSaints defend well against the run and have an underrated defense as a whole. Iwon’t be targeting anyone from the Cardinals side on this one. I’ll just focuson Bridgewater, Michael Thomas, and Jared Cook.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • Michael Thomas, WR, NO – $8,500
    • Jared Cook, TE, NO (If he plays) – $5,800
    • Latavius Murray (If no Kamara), RB, NO – $6,200
  • DraftKings
    • Michael Thomas, WR, NO – $8,000
    • Teddy Bridgewater (if no Brees), QB, NO – $5,900
    • Jared Cook, TE, NO (If he plays) – $5,000
    • Latavius Murray (If no Kamara), RB, NO – $5,800

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Jared Cook, TE, NO – $5,800
    • Latavius Murray (If no Kamara), RB, NO – $6,200
  • DraftKings
    • Teddy Bridgewater (if no Brees), QB, NO –  $5,900
    • Jared Cook, TE, NO – $5,000
    • Latavius Murray (If no Kamara), RB, NO – $5,800

Bucsvs. Titans

There is nothing more exciting in DFS than two mediocre teams facing off against each other. In all honesty, it isn’t my favorite and I won’t have much in this game except Jonnu Smith if Delanie Walker is out.  I also like the price tag on Mike Evans and Derrick Henry, but both teams are a middle tier defense and I won’t be high on them.  I love  Ryan Tannehill with A.J. Brown for tournaments.

Value Plays – 10/25 DFS

  • FanDuel
    • Jonnu Smith, TE, TEN (if Walker is out) – $4,900
    • A.J. Brown, WR, TEN – $5,500
    • Ryan Tannehill, WR, TEN – $6,900
  • DraftKings
    • Jonnu Smith, TE, TEN (if Walker is out) – $2,800
    • A.J. Brown, WR, TEN – $4,100
    • Ryan Tannehill, WR, TEN – $5,100

Bengalsvs. Rams

Not surehow I’m feeling about this game because it has the potential to be a blowout. Ibelieve most will be on Jared Goff and the Rams WRs with how bad the Bengals defenseis, but their run defense is the worst in the NFL. I like Gurley this week as asneaky play and I don’t think he’ll garner much ownership. I’d avoid this gameexcept for GPPs.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • Todd Gurley, RB, LAR – $7,400
  • DraftKings
    • Todd Gurley, RB, LAR – $7,400

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN – $5,600
    • Alex Erickson, WR, CIN – $5,500
    • Auden Tate, WR, CIN -$5,400
  • DraftKings
    • Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN – $5,100
    • Alex Erickson, WR, CIN – $3,700
    • Auden Tate, WR, CIN -$4,200

Eaglesvs. Bills

TheEagles defense is bad and the Bills defense is susceptible to the pass as wesaw Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins throw all over that Bills defense. Ibelieve most people will fade the Eagles defense, but I don’t hate them thisweek. I like Josh Allen with John Brown a lot more than anything else in thisgame.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • John Brown, WR, BUF – $5,900
    • Josh Allen, QB, BUF – $7,700
  • DraftKings
    • John Brown, WR, BUF – $5,900
    • Josh Allen, QB, BUF – $6,500

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • John Brown, WR, BUF – $5,900
  • DraftKings
    • John Brown, WR, BUF – $5,900

Jetsvs. Jaguars

This gamemight be the fade of the week for me, but I wouldn’t mind throwing some MinshewMania aka Gardner Minshew this week with a cheap D.J. Chark. Chark is comingoff two straight poor performances, but his price tag is dropping and Minshewloves to throw to him. The Jets run defense is worse than its pass defense, butI don’t think I’ll target this game except for GPPs.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • D.J. Chark , WR, JAX – $6,300
  • DraftKings
    • D..J Chark , WR, JAX – $6,000

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Gardner Minshew, QB, JAX – $6,900
  • DraftKings
    • Gardner Minshew, QB, JAX – $5,500

Broncosvs. Colts

This isanother game I’m going to avoid for the most part, especially cash. I’m a bigfan of the Colts defense this week, but Emmanuel Sanders is gone and the onlyreal WR left is Courtland Sutton. Sutton is priced pretty favorably and I willuse him for value on this slate. I’ll tell you this much though. I’m all-in onthe Colts defense on DK.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN – $6,000
  • DraftKings
    • Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN – $5,300
    • Colts Defense – $2,900

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • DaeSean Hamilton, WR, DEN – $4,800
  • DraftKings
    • DaeSean Hamilton, WR, DEN – $3,300
    • Colts Defense – $2,900

Chargersvs. Bears

I knowI’ve talked about certain game I don’t like, but I’ll have a few plays forGPPs, but this game is a game I’m completely avoiding. The only play I may haveis both defenses because both offenses are bad this year. Avoid this game evenin GPPs.

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Chargers DST – $4,100
    • Bears DST – $4,500
  • DraftKings
    • Chargers DST – $2,300
    • Bears DST – $3,600

Panthersvs. 49ers

Anothergame I will not be targeting much. I don’t see much value in any of theseplayers and as much as I love Christian McCaffery, he is just way too much. Avoidthis game and save your money.

Brownsvs. Patriots

Onceagain, a game I don’t like, but there is some value on the Patriots side I maytarget. I do like the pricing of Julian Edelman and Philip Dorsett, but I don’tlike anything else in this game. I might throw one or two GPPs of a cheap OdellBeckham with Baker Mayfield, but that’s in the milly maker and nothing else.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • Julian Edelman, WR, NE – $6,600
    • Phillip Dorsett II, WR, NE – $5,600
  • DraftKings
    • Phillip Dorsett II, WR, NE – $4,200

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Phillip Dorsett II, WR, NE – $5,600
  • DraftKings
    • Phillip Dorsett II, WR, NE – $4,200

GPPGame of the Week:

Lionsvs. Giants

I’m nottoo sure how sneaky this game will be, but I’m loading up on both sides thisweek. The Lions rank towards the bottom in run defense and the Giants just haveone of the worst defenses as a whole.  I expect a shootout, but thequestion is whether Daniel Jones can pick it back up after some back to backpoor performances.

Core Plays – 10/25 DFS  

  • FanDuel
    • Matthew Stafford, QB, DET – $7,700
    • Saquon Barkley, RB, NYG – $8,600
    • Kenny Golladay, WR, DET – $6,700
  • DraftKings
    • Matthew Stafford, QB, DET – $6,100
    • Saquon Barkley, RB, NYG – $8,900
    • Kenny Golladay, WR, DET – $6,400

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Marvin Jones, WR, DET – $6,300
  • DraftKings
    • Marvin Jones, WR, DET – $5,800
    • Matthew Stafford, QB, DET – $6,100

NBA– 10/25 DFS

I’ll befocusing on my core and GPP plays for each position along with my favorite valueplays.   I did mention that I like to wait and see two weeks before Igo heavy into my bankroll for NBA to see what offenses to target against baddefenses. For example, the Clippers were one of the worst defenses last year,but with some big upgrades this season, I see them as a Top 10 defense now.This is why I like the wait and see approach for the first few weeks of theseason.

Wementioned this in our Premium Slack Channel yesterday, but with NBA DFS, youneed to stay locked in between the final hour before lock until lock. If youcan’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. I willstill be playing a good chunk for the first few weeks so let’s win some moneyand dive in.

MyCore and Value Plays by Position:

  • Core Plays – PG
    • Kyrie Irving, PG, BKN –  FD: $9,700; DK – $9,000
      • Kyrie put on a show in his opening game with the Nets and should be able to feast on the lowly Knicks. The Knicks have upgraded themselves this season, but they allowed a ton of points in their first game of the season and I expect it to continue versus the Nets.
    • Value Play – Devonte Graham, PG, CHA – FD: $5,100; DK – $4,600
      • Graham played 27 minutes leading him to 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists versus the Bulls. They are playing a bottom tier Timberwolves team, who allows a ton of points. I expect a shootout and Graham should benefit.
  • Core Plays – SG
    • Bradley Beal, SG, WAS – FD : $9,500; DK – $8,600
      • In my first NBA article, I mentioned OKC having no one on their team really. I know Washington will be one of the worst teams in the league, but someone has to score. That person will be Beal in a plus matchup against the rebuilding Thunder.
    • Value Play – Fred VanVleet, SG, TOR – FD : $6,600; DK – $5,700
      • VanVleet is the real deal. This is plain and simple. I think most of the offense will be through VanVleet and Siakam with Lowry being the more support play. He’s priced pretty low on FD and I think he’ll go under owned given his matchup versus a good defensive Celtics squad. His usage will high last game and he should easily hit value versus the Celtics
    • Other Value Plays to Consider
      • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, SG, OKC – FD : $6,800; DK – $6,500
      • Dwayne Bacon, SG, CHA – FD : $6,100; DK – $5,700
  • Core Plays – SF
    • Taurean Prince, SF, BKN – FD : $5,600; DK – $5,600
      • My least favorite position of the night, but we need to save some salary if we go Kyrie and Beal. I believe this is the spot. If Prince is going to get 41 minutes per game, sign me up. I know the offense runs primarily through Kyrie, but Prince gets a ton of defensive statistics as well and could be a sneaky play versus a bad Knicks team
    • Value Play – Kelly Oubre Jr., SF, PHO – FD : $6,400; DK – $5,700
      • I was torn between Oubre and Prince, but I sided with Prince’s matchup versus the lowly Knicks. Oubre saw a ton of usage and had a few defensive statistics that made him pretty valuable the other night. He has a tough matchup versus Denver , but I think he could hit value given he’s priced too low.
  • Core Plays – PF
    • Lauri Markkanen, PF, CHI – FD: $8,200; DK – $10,100; DK – $8,000
      • Markkanen is going to be a sleeper this year , which is why I drafted him season long leagues. He’s going to be the top offensive producer all season and he faces off tonight versus one of the worst teams in the Grizzlies. David Jones used him the other night and cashed big time. I expect he won’t be as sneaky now that the cat is out of the bag, but I’ll still use him a ton tonight.
    • Value Play – Richaun Holmes, PF, SAC –  FD : $3,700; DK – $3,400
      • With Bagley out for four to six weeks and Harry Giles ruled out tonight, someone needs to fill in. It isn’t official, but I think Holmes gets the nod and he’s almost the minimum on FD. Load him up if he starts!
  • Core Plays – C
    • Hassan Whiteside, C, POR – FD: $8,000; DK – $7,200
      • It hurts me to say this, but Whiteside looked good the other night. He plays against a depleted Sacramento who is just getting hurt with a ton of injuries.  Bagley is ruled out and they had Dedmon to cover Whiteside with no solid backup. I think Whiteside feasts on this matchup, but I don’t like him after his cry baby antics with the Miami Heat the past few years.
  • Other Core Plays to Consider
    • Karl-Anthony Towns, C, MIN – FD : $11,500; DK – $10,800
    • Nikola Jokic, C, DEN – FD: $10,800; DK – $9,300
    • Value Play – Aron Baynes, C, PHO – FD : $3,500; DK – $3,200
      • DeAndre Ayton is suspended for 25 games and the only true Center that is left is Aaron Baynes. He’s the bare minimum on FD and I believe he draws the start. You can save salary this route, but only if he starts.

My 2 plays of the day come down to what I was talking about in the Core Plays section of NBA. I’m a big fan of the Nets vs. Knicks game and I think it’ll be a shootout. Kyrie is the Sheriff in town and he should be able to score over 30 points with no problem. Although The Nets struggle against the big man, I think Randle will not score as much. There is a lot of mouths to feed on the Knicks and I think Randle will hit below 20 this game.

DFS Diamonds for 10/18: DFS Pro J.P. on Week 8 NFL and Friday NHL

Coby Williams
written by Coby Williams

To those of you that don’t recognize me, I go by JPrellezo on FanDuel and DraftKings, but you can call me Javi. My goal is to assist you in becoming more successful and profitable with some DFS Diamonds. I’ll go through what works for me and I hope I can guide you to the Promised Land in 10/18 DFS! 

I want to start off with a huge shout out to Win Daily’s Allan Fabrykant and Dan Wehr as they helped me while I was busy at a golf tournament with my one entry and my one contest, which was a qualification for the NHL Live Final in Nashville for DraftKings. I took it down! It was the second qualifier of 40 qualifiers. Once again, Allan and Dan helped as this was a team effort. I can’t take all the credit. You can get regular DFS NHL advice from them in our Premium Gold slack chat.

Ok.Now moving on to why you’re reading. Let’s get into football and some NHL.

10/18 DFS Deeper Dive – Core/Value Plays

Vikingsvs. Lions

This is a tough game for DFS for Week 7 except for one key player who can be used in both GPPs and cash games. That is none other than Dalvin Cook. Although he hasn’t been like the Cook of Weeks 1-4, he is still in a killer matchup. The Packers RBs went off against the Lions defense last week and I expect Cook to do the same. I’m not on anyone else this game.

10/18 DFS Core Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN – $8,300
  • DraftKings
    • Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN – $8,000

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
    • Marvin Jones, WR, DET – $5,600
  • DraftKings
    • Kerryon Johnson, RB, DET – $5,100
    • Marvin Jones, WR, DET – $5,000

Texansvs. Colts

This is another game that should gain some ownership, but I’m not high on at all. I believe the Colts have a sneaky good defense and a suspect offense. The Texans, on the other hand, have a great offense, but suspect defense. This has the makings of either a shootout or a 13-10 final score. I’ll throw in DeAndre Hopkins in some GPPs, but I’m not high on this game in general. As for T.Y. Hilton, I’m not a fan at all, but on DK, he is way too cheap. He will a big, value play for me on DK.

10/18 DFS Core Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • DeAndre Hopkins, WR, HOU – $8,000
  • DraftKings
    • T.Y. Hilton, WR, IND – $5,900
    • DeAndre Hopkins, WR, HOU – $7,800

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
    • Carlos Hyde, RB, HOU – $6,300

    • T.Y. Hilton, WR, IND – $5,900
    • Carlos Hyde, RB, HOU – $4,700
    • Jacoby Brissett, QB, IND – $5,600

Raidersvs. Packers

The biggest question going into this game are the WRs for the Packers. The only healthy and somewhat relevant WR is Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but Allen Lazard is about to step in as the second WR and is $3,000 on DK.  I don’t think he will get any ownership , but he is a key GPP and value play.  As for the Raiders, I’m seeing Josh Jacobs as a value play, but Green Bay has been tough against the run ever since a slow start. Darren Waller is also going to be the only person I target in the passing game for the Raiders.

10/18 DFS Core Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, GB – $6,300
  • DraftKings
    • Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, GB – $5,200

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
    • Jamaal Williams, RB, GB – $5,400
    • Allen Lazard, WR, GB – $4,500
  • DraftKings
    • Josh Jacobs, RB, OAK – 5,000
    • Jamaal Williams, RB, GB – $4,900
    • Allen Lazard, WR, GB – $3,000

49ersvs. Redskins

Once again, another game I’m not high on except for a couple of players. I’m only targeting a handful from the 49ers and zero from the Redskins. 49ers are mainly value plays. None are core plays. Tevin Coleman is the clear goal line back and seems to be the primary RB.  If you’re going to use one of the 49ers WRs, I’d do three different lineups and have one of the below value WRs in each lineup. Do not use multiple 49ers WRs in any lineup and hedge it by using one for each of your three lineups. Also, 49ers DST is a core play and should be the only defense you use in DFS besides the Bills.

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
  • Tevin Coleman, RB, SF – $6,200
  • Deebo Samuel, WR, SF – $5,300
  • Marquise Goodwin, WR, SF – $5,000
  • Dante Pettis, WR, SF – $5,100
  • DraftKings
    • Tevin Coleman, RB, SF – $5,600
    • Deebo Samuel, WR, SF – $4,500
    • Marquise Goodwin, WR, SF – $4,800
    • Dante Pettis, WR, SF – $4,100

Dolphinsvs. Bills

Another game I’m targeting on one side and not the other. To start off, load up on the Bills DST in your defense slot for seasonal and DFS and try building lineups around them. Monitor John Brown’s status because he’s missed some practice. If he plays, stack up Josh Allen with Brown. If Brown is out, put in some Dawson Knox, Duke Williams, and Cole Beasley. Devin Singletary should be back, but I’m avoiding the Bills RB situation for one more week.

10/18 DFS Core Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • John Brown, WR, BUF – $5,900
  • DraftKings
    • John Brown, WR, BUF – $5,500
    • Josh Allen, QB, BUF – $6,500

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
  • Cole Beasley, WR, BUF – $5,600
  • Duke Williams, WR, BUF – $4,700
  • Dawson Knox, TE, BUF – $4,800
  • DraftKings
    • Cole Beasley, WR, BUF – $4,700
    • Duke Williams, WR, BUF – $4,100
    • Dawson Knox, TE, BUF – $3,300

Chargersvs. Titans

Marcus Mariota is out and Ryan Tannehill is in. The problem with Tannehill is I watched him in Miami for years and he’s terrible. I don’t know how he will do with the Titans, but he didn’t look good in his relief appearance last week. I’m a clear fade on the Titans except for Derrick Henry. As for the Chargers, I’m on Hunter Henry on DK and GPPs and on Keenan Allen for a bounce-back game. Allen would be a pure GPP play versus a good Titans secondary.

10/18 DFS Core Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • Hunter Henry, TE, LAC – $5,700
    • Derrick Henry, RB, TEN – $6,500
  • DraftKings
    • Hunter Henry, TE, LAC – $4,000
    • Derrick Henry, RB, TEN – $5,800

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • DraftKings
    • Hunter Henry, TE, LAC – $4,000

Saintsvs. Bears

This is the fade of the week for me. With Alvin Kamara banged up and Marshon Lattimore on Allen Robinson, I’m just going to fade this game. I might throw some Bears DST out there in DFS, but I just don’t like this game. The Bears defense is one of the best and the Saints defense is sneaky good.

10/18 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
    • Bears DST – $4,500
  • DraftKings
    • Bears DST – $3,000

Seahawksvs. Ravens

I’m still torn on this game and what to do. On the one side, both secondaries aren’t very good.  On the other side, both QBs are very good even with Lamar Jackson struggling the last few weeks. I lean more on the Seahawks side of thing. Tyler Lockett is still too cheap and with Will Dissly out for the season, more targets are going to Lockett and DK Metcalf. Chris Carson is probably my second-favorite running back behind Leonard Fournette. Metcalf is one of my favorite value plays on DK. As for the Ravens, I’ll have a GPP lineup with Jackson and Mark Andrews. If Brown plays, I’ll also have a stack with him and Jackson as well. Again, I’ll have more than 50% of my lineups with Tyler Lockett on FD.

CorePlays  

  • FanDuel
    • Chris Carson, RB, SEA – $7,600
    • Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA – $6,500
  • DraftKings
    • Chris Carson, RB, SEA – $6,500
    • Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA – $6,600
    • DK Metcalf, WR, SEA – $4,800

ValuePlays

  • DraftKings
    • DK Metcalf, WR, SEA – $4,800

Cardinalsvs. Giants

The battle of two bad defenses. Although the Giants have been more solid on defense, they are still a weaker unit. Kyler Murray seems to be living up to the hype as the #1 overall pick, but he needs to continue to capitalize with touchdowns in the red zone.  I’m going to be more on the Cardinals side for this game, but if Saquon Barkley is not limited, I’ll be over him this week.  The only problem with Barkley on FanDuel and DraftKings is he is the highest-priced RB so I might be off him this week. As for David Johnson, he has scored over 15 FanDuel points in 5 of his first 6 games this season. I believe this game goes overlooked and could be a GPP gold mine. Load up on this game.

DFSCore Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • Kyler Murray, QB, ARI – $7,700
    • David Johnson, RB, ARI – $7,400
    • Evan Engram, TE, NYG – $6,800
  • DraftKings
    • David Johnson, RB, ARI – $7,800
    • Evan Engram, TE, NYG – $6,500

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Daniel Jones, QB, NYG – $7,200
    • Golden Tate, WR, NYG – $6,100
  • DraftKings
    • Daniel Jones, QB, NYG – $6,100
    • Golden Tate, WR, NYG – $5,800 (especially if Sterling Shepard is out)
    • Christian Kirk, WR, ARI – $5,000 (if active)

Ramsvs. Falcons

It’s safe to say that the Rams defense is very overrated. As for the Falcons defense, they are one of the worst in the league. I think that this game is the shootout of the week and I’ll have a mix of Robert Woods with Cooper Kupp with a combination of both in GPP lineups.  I’m also high on the Falcons and think Julio Jones is due for a breakout game and this could finally be the week. Devonta Freeman is a lock for me on DraftKings because he is severely underpriced. Austin Hooper is also underpriced on DraftKings. Again, this is my Game Stack of the Week.

CorePlays  

  • FanDuel
    • Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL – $6,400
    • Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL – $5,500
    • Austin Hooper, TE, ATL – $6,600
    • Robert Woods, WR, LAR – $7,300
  • DraftKings
    • Matt Ryan, QB, ATL – $6,300
    • Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL – $5,400
    • Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL – $5,300
    • Austin Hooper, TE, ATL – $5,300

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL – $5,500
  • Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL – $6,400
  • DraftKings
    • Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL – $5,400
    • Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL – $5,300
    • Austin Hooper, TE, ATL – $5,300

GPPGame(s) of the Week:

Jaguarsvs. Bengals

I still believe in Minshew Mania. Besides having the greatest mustache, I still think he had a bad game because he faced off against an underrated defense. I will side more with the Jaguars on this one, but Joe Mixon is so cheap, especially on DraftKings. DK pricing seems to continue to be broken with Leonard Fournette as the sixth highest priced RB for the slate when he should easily be priced at a higher tag. The Bengals have a lot of value plays for this week against a Jacksonville defense that is a shell of its former self.

ValuePlays

  • FanDuel
    • Gardner Minshew, QB, JAX – $6,900
    • Joe Mixon, RB, CIN – $6,100
    • D.J. Chark, WR, JAX – $6,600
    • Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN – $5,600
    • Auden Tate, WR, CIN – $5,900
  • DraftKings
    • Joe Mixon, RB, CIN – $5,000
    • Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN – $5,600
    • Auden Tate, WR, CIN – $4,500
    • Leonard Fournette, RB, JAX – $7,000
    • Gardner Minshew, QB, JAX – $5,400

NHL DFS – 10/18 DFS

I’m going to focus on my Top three games. I’m still riding high from the live final qualification and I’m going for a second ticket tomorrow. Up to this point, here are my favorite games for this slate.

Florida Panthers vs. Colorado Avalanche

This game features one of the highest scoring totals on the slate with both projecting to score over three goals each.  The Blackhawks and Blue Jackets also have a similar total, but I prefer this game stack. Before you ask, it isn’t because I’m a diehard Florida Panthers fan (true story), but because both teams aren’t the best defensively and both teams shoot the puck a lot.  I think the two top power play lines will be top plays, but you can save salary with the Panthers second power play line. Barkov is way too cheap on DK. I’ll have him in more than 50% of my lineups.

Core Players

  • Nathan MacKinnon (C, COL) – (FD- $8,600 / DK –  $7,700)
  • Mikko Rantanen (W,COL) – (FD- $7,900 / DK – $7,200)
  • Gabriel Landeskog (W, COL) – (FD- $7,100 / DK -$6,900)
  • Nazem Kadri (C,COL) – (FD- $5,000 / DK – $4,800)
  • Aleksander Barkov (C, FLA) – (FD- $7,500 / DK -$5,800)
  • Mike Hoffman (W, FLA) – (FD- $6,900 / DK -$6,300)
  • Evgenii Dadonov (W, FLA) – (FD- $6,500 / DK -$6,600)
  • Jonathan Huberdeau (W, FLA) – (FD- $7,100 / DK -$6,000)

Value Plays

  • Vincent Trochek – (C, FLA) – (FD- $6,400V/ DK -$5,500)
  • Keith Yandle – (W, FLA) – (FD- $5,400 / DK -$5,300)
  • Frank Vatrano – (W, FLA) – (FD- $3,300 / DK -$3,900)
  • Aaron Ekblad – (D, FLA) – (FD- $4,700 / DK – $5,500)
  • Brett Connolly – (W, FLA) – (FD- $4,300 / DK -$3,400)
  • Tyson Jost – (W, COL) – (FD- $3,900 / DK -$2,900)
  • Sam Girard – (FD- $4,000 / DK – $3,500)
  • Nazem Kadri (C,COL) – (FD- $5,000 / DK – $4,800)

Capitals vs. Rangers

This is the second night of a back-to-back for the Rangers and they are coming off a poor game against a winless Devils team. Given how bad the Capitals defense is and the two high powered offenses facing each other, I expect a high scoring affair.  I like the Capitals side more than the Rangers side since this is the second night of a back to back for the Rangers.

Core Plays

  • Alex Ovechkin (W, WAS) – (FD- $8,500 / DK -$7,800)
  • John Carlson (D, WAS) – (FD- $6,700 / DK -$6,700)
  • Nicklas Backstrom (C, WAS) – (FD- $6,300 / DK -$5,900)
  • T.J. Oshie (W, WAS) – (FD- $6,400 / DK – $5,500)
  • Mike Zibanejad (C, NYR) – (FD- $7,600 / DK -$6,800)
  • Artemi Panarin (W, NYR) – (FD- $7,800 / DK -$6,200)
  • Jacob Trouba (D, NYR) – (FD- $5,800 / DK -$5,600)
  • Chris Kreider (W, NYR) – (FD- $5,400 / DK -$4,000)

Value Plays

  • Tom Wilson (W, WAS) – (FD- $4,500 / DK – $4,700)
  • Jakub Vrana (w, WAS) – (FD- $4,800 / DK -$4,300)
  • Lars Eller (C, WAS) – (FD- $4,500 / DK -$4,200)
  • Dmitry Orlov (D, WAS) – (FD- $4,000 / DK -$3,700)
  • Kaapo Kakko (W, NYR) – (FD – $5,100 / DK –$4,600)
  • Chris Kreider (W, NYR) – (FD- $5,400 / DK -$4,000)

Oilers vs. Red Wings

This game is more of a one-sided target for me. The Oilers are hot and I’m riding the streak. Give me all the PP1 and PP2 for the Oilers.

Core Plays

  • Connor McDavid (C, EDM) – (FD- $9,400 / DK -$8,100)
  • Leon Draisaitl (C, EDM) – (FD- $8,700 / DK -$7,900)
  • Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (C, EDM) – (FD- $6,000 / DK- $5,200)
  • Oscar Klefbom (C, EDM) – (FD- $5,600 / DK – $6,100)
  • James Neal (C, EDM) – (FD- $5,600 / DK – $6,100)

Value Plays

  • Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (C, EDM) – (FD- $6,000 / DK- $5,200)
  • Oscar Klefbom (C, EDM) – (FD- $5,600 / DK – $6,100)
  • James Neal (C, EDM) – (FD- $5,600 / DK – $6,100)
  • Darnell Nurse (D, EDM) – (FD- $4,900 / DK -$5,400)
  • Zack Kassian (C, COL) – (FD- $4,400 / DK -$4,200)
  • Ethan Bear (C, COL) – (FD- $3,500 / DK – $3,500)

Favorite Goalies

  • Mike Smith or Mikko Koskinen – Oilers – Clear number 1
  • Corey Crawford – high total against, but I think it’ll hit the under with lots of shots.
  • Joonas Korpisalo – Same as Crawford

NFL DFS GPP Advice – Stick’s Stacks for Week Seven

brgrewe@gmail.com
written by brgrewe@gmail.com

Week Six was incredible for the Win Daily Team – and personally my best ROI so far on the season. Hopefully you checked out the stacks in last week’s post and got your NFL DFS GPP lineups across the pay-line. Our top two game stacks went off and we had some sneaky production out of Devonta Freeman and Carlos Hyde at very low ownership.

If you read the article and have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter or sign up for Premium Gold to join our Slack channel.

Like usual, it’s another great week to use 50% or more of your bankroll towards single entry cash games. Please check out my Cash Game Checkdown before you set your DFS lineups for Sunday. Lets get to work on Stick’s Stacks for Week Seven.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify team/game stacks that we are going to use for an NFL DFS GPP. For those of you that don’t know, a “team stack” is simply multiple players from the same team (I rarely ever use more than three players on a given team).

A “game stack” is similar, except we are going to use players from both teams in a given game. Focusing on team stacks and game stacks is incredibly useful in the NFL DFS GPP environment. That being said, let’s get to this week’s top NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings!

Top NFL DFS GPP Game Stacks

Los Angeles Rams @ Atlanta Falcons (54)

This game’s total just keeps climbing and I wouldn’t be surprised if it closes around 56 points… which is quite high. This is by far my favorite game to attack and as of now, will be the heart and soul of my main GPP lineups. Although I still respect the Rams’ defense, we always love Matt Ryan at home and Los Angeles just lost one of their better corners, Aqib Talib, for quite some time (they also just acquired Jalen Ramsey and traded Marcus Peters).

Long story short, I’m most likely going to be super overweight with my exposure to this game and I think you should be too. I’ll update this article once I have a better grasp on ownership projections but I highly doubt I’ll find any reason to fade this game. As of now, this is the only true “game stack” I’m personally investing in.

Los Angeles Rams

  • Jared Goff ($6,200) – My favorite QB play on the slate.
  • Cooper Kupp ($7,400) – Smash matchup assuming he sees a lot of Damontae Kazee in the slot.
  • Brandin Cooks ($5,400) – I’m assuming he’ll be less than 10% owned which is a nice pivot away from Kupp/Woods who will be higher owned. I may pair Cooks with Kupp or Woods in my main lineup. Kendall Sheffield is insanely fast (just like Cooks), but is brutal in coverage. Cooks blowup day coming.
  • Robert Woods ($5,900) – Great price, great matchup.
  • Gerald Everett ($3,700) – Everyone who stacks this game is going to play Austin Hooper. Excellent pivot play with low ownership projected.
  • Todd Gurley ($6,400) – No interest in Malcolm Brown ($5,700) at his price. If Gurley sits and Brown is “limited”, Darrell Henderson ($3,500) becomes a free square lock.

Atlanta Falcons

  • Julio Jones ($8,000) – My guess is it will be a mix of Troy Hill and Jalen Ramsey tasked with covering Julio Jones. Ramsey is arguably the top cornerback in the NFL but Jones is one of the best receivers in the NFL. Assuming this lowers Julio Jones’ ownership a bit, I’m all for getting shares of him.
  • Matt Ryan ($6,300)
  • Calvin Ridley ($5,300) – Incredible route runner. Will also see a mix of Troy Hill and Jalen Ramsey. Ridley can burn them both.
  • Austin Hooper ($5,300) – Chalk, chalk, chalk. Love him in cash, like him in GPPs, but he will come with very high ownership(rightfully so).
  • Devonta Freeman ($5,400) – Great price, but this Rams’ defense is stout against the run. If we roll out Freeman, we are hoping that he scores two touchdowns and catches four or more passes (which is entirely possible). I don’t see him being over 100 all-purpose yards, but he should be low-owned.
  • Mohamed Sanu ($4,600) – Cheap exposure to the highest scoring game on the slate. He makes perfect sense for salary relief in a game stack lineup but his ceiling is limited.

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts (47)

I don’t really like to stack this game up at all, but I will diversify my exposure a little bit as I cant go 100% all in with LAR/ATL… or can I?

The Texans currently sit with an implied team total of only 23 points and they just lost rookie right tackle, Tytus Howard, for multiple games. I usually only like Watson and company when they have time to make plays (which will be limited without Howard) but there aren’t many other options for us this week.

With Watson’s rushing ability and Houston’s receivers playmaking abilities, I’ll stack them up if they’re going to be low-owned. I’ll update the article later in the week if I fall out of love with Houston’s offense in Week Seven for my NFL DFS GPP lineups.

Houston Texans

  • Deshaun Watson ($7,000)
  • DeAndre Hopkins ($7,800)
  • Will Fuller ($6,200)
  • Keke Coutee ($3,600) – Excellent punt play if you need a salary relief player in any DFS build this week.

Indianapolis Colts

Houston’s defense is banged up across the board. I don’t think this game is likely to shoot-out, but I will have some exposure to both teams just in case. Houston allows the most receptions to opposing running backs, so it’s a nice spot for Marlon Mack (even though he rarely runs six plus routes in a game).

I really only included this matchup as a game stack due to the Colts’ low pricing. Rostering a few high-upside Colts’ players and maybe stacking them with one of the Houston receivers should lead to a very nice roster build.

  • T.Y. Hilton ($5,900)
  • Jacoby Brissett ($5,600)
  • Marlon Mack ($6,000)
  • Colts Defense ($2,000) – So cheap and should be in a nice spot to get three or more sacks. Great for a GPP.

Top NFL DFS GPP Team Stacks

Green Bay Packers

I’ll only stack the Packers if Davante Adams is in. I’m not concerned with Marquez Valdes-Scantling or anyone really in this timeshare at the running back position. This is an Oakland team that really struggles to defend the pass, so if Rodgers has healthy weapons, we can take advantage of that.

I’ll update this section when we hear more about Adams’ status.

  • Aaron Rodgers ($6,400)
  • Davante Adams ($7,600)
  • Marquez Valdes-Scantling ($5,200) – Seemed to be injured on Sunday Night but everything I’m hearing says it’s not a concern.
  • Allen Lazard ($3,000) – Incredible value if Adams and/or Valdes-Scantling were to miss this game.
  • Jimmy Graham ($4,200) – Hate the price. Would only use if it’s part of a MME style of NFL DFS GPP… Same with these Packers’ running backs.

Arizona Cardinals

I’ll always stack the Cardinals if they’re facing a weaker defensive opponent. I’m starting to respect the Giants’ defense more and more each week (I’m not really sure why) but I will have a few Cardinals stacks out there in Week Seven.

  • Kyler Murray ($6,700)
  • David Johnson ($7,800)
  • Larry Fitzgerald ($6,100) – I’ve mentioned in the cash game writeup how I am seriously concerned with Fitzgerald’s ceiling, but he’s a lock for double-digit points. We need him to score touchdowns if we’re going to climb up the GPP leaderboards.
  • Christian Kirk ($5,000) – Optimistic that he finally returns to action in Week Seven.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Absolute punt of a stack. If you need some salary relief for other studs, I am really liking the idea of a Minshew-Chark-Fournette Jaguars stack. Just load up on some Rams/Falcons playmakers with those three (or just Fournette) and enjoy a mild pay-day.

  • Leonard Fournette ($7,000) – My top RB on the slate.
  • Gardner Minshew ($5,400)
  • D.J. Chark ($6,000)

Buffalo Bills

They currently have the highest implied team total on the slate so you cannot ignore them. Personally, I’m thinking this is a nice spot to fade. I can only hope this team draws a lot of ownership in DFS and justifies a fade, but I’m not sure that will be the case.

They are without a doubt in a smash spot. The 16-point spread has me thinking this is a run-heavy offense coming from Buffalo. Maybe Josh Allen and these receivers do some severe damage early and still put up a big fantasy output.

  • Josh Allen ($6,500)
  • John Brown ($5,500) – $500 cheaper than Terry McLaurin was last week… Brown can 100% replicate the monster game McLaurin just posted on this Miami secondary.
  • Duke Williams ($4,100)
  • Frank Gore ($5,200)

Sample NFL DFS GPP Lineup

QB: Jared Goff
RB: Leonard Fournette
RB: Dalvin Cook
WR: Robert Woods
WR: Brandin Cooks
WR: Calvin Ridley
TE: T.J. Hockenson
FLEX: Chris Carson
DST: Indianapolis Colts

DFS Diamonds for 10/16: DFS Pro J.P. on NFL, NHL and PGA

Coby Williams
written by Coby Williams

To those of you that don’t recognize me, I go by JPrellezo on FanDuel and DraftKings, but you can call me Javi. My goal is to assist you in becoming more successful and profitable with some DFS Diamonds. I’ll go through what works for me and I hope I can guide you to the Promised Land in the 10/16 DFS Pro Column! 

Most DFS sites, pros, players, etc. don’t focus on the next slate until later on in the week, but I want to provide an early look into Week 7. I want to focus on the top three to five games that I’m currently leaning towards for Week 7. I will take a deeper dive into the games later in the week.

10/16 DFS Cash Game Plays and Top Plays

Cardinalsvs. Giants

The battle of two bad defenses. Although the Giants have been more solid on defense, they are still a weaker unit. Kyler Murray seems to be living up to the hype as the #1 overall pick, but he needs to continue to capitalize with touchdowns in the red zone.  I’m going to be more on the Cardinals side for this game, but if Saquon Barkley is back and not limited, I’ll be considering him this week.  The only problem with Barkley on FanDuel and DraftKings is he is the highest priced RB so I might be off him this week. As for David Johnson, he has scored over 15 FanDuel points in five of his first six games this season. More to come on Friday’s article.

10/16 DFS Core Plays  

  • FanDuel
    • Kyler Murray, QB, ARI – $7,700
    • David Johnson, RB, ARI – $7,400
    • Evan Engram, TE, NYG – $6,800 (if active)
  • DraftKings
    • David Johnson, RB, ARI – $7,800
    • Evan Engram, TE, NYG – $6,500

10/16 DFS Value Plays

  • FanDuel
    • Daniel Jones, QB, NYG – $7,200

    • Golden Tate, WR, NYG – $5,800 (especially if Sterling Shepard is out)
    • Christian Kirk, WR, ARI – $5,000 (if active)

Ramsvs. Falcons

It’s safe to say that the Rams defense is very overrated. As for the Falcons defense, they are one of the worst in the league. I think that this game is the shootout of the week and I’ll have a mix of Robert Woods with Cooper Kupp with a combination of both in GPP lineups.  I’m also high on the Falcons and think Julio Jones is due for a breakout game and this could finally be the week. Devonta Freeman is a lock for me on DraftKings because he is severely underpriced. Austin Hooper is also underpriced on DraftKings.

GPPGame(s) of the Week:

Jaguarsvs. Bengals

I still believe in Minshew Mania. Besides having the greatest mustache, I still think he had a bad game because he faced off against an underrated defense. I will side more with the Jaguars side on this one, but Joe Mixon is so cheap, especially on DraftKings. Their pricing seems to continue to be broken with Leonard Fournette as the sixth highest price RB for the slate when he should easily be priced higher. The Bengals have a lot of value plays for this week against a Jacksonville defense that is a shell of its former self.

10/16 DFS NHL

I finally have a chance to dive deeper into an NHL slate that is more than three games. My goal is to focus on my three favorite games, one of which will be a game stack that I will use. Something I have learned with NHL DFS is paying up on defense. Sometimes people feel the value comes at defense, but I prefer to pay up at defense and build my lineups around better defenseman and a solid goalie. I’m mainly a GPP guy, but I’ll focus on the core plays that you can use for cash and GPPs. Before I dive in, please note that the Maple Leafs,  Flyers, and Hurricanes are on the second night of a back to back so keep that in mind.

MapleLeafs vs. Capitals

Maple Leafs – The Maple Leafs might have the best offense in the NHL and I don’t believe that their defense is as good as it has been playing. They have a high powered offense and play at a higher tempo than most, which hurts their defense and makes them allow more goals than the norm.  Given the Capitals’ weakness on defense thus far, I’ll be targeting the Maple Leafs in the majority of my lineups. Core plays for the Maple Leafs include their entire PP1 line which includes Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, John Tavares, Morgan Reilly, and Andreas Johnsoon. I’d focus on one lineup with four of these guys and another lineup with four of these guys, but include the one you left out in the previous lineup.

Capitals – This is quite surprising as the Capitals have allowed 4. 6. 1, and 6 goals in their last four games. It looks like even though their defense has struggled mightily, they are still a high powered offense, as they have scored 3, 5, 4 and 3 goals in their last four games. Given the Leafs may have some tired legs in the second night of a back to back, I’m targeting this as my favorite game stack of the night. Core plays for the Capitals include John Carlson, Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and T.J. Oshie.

KeyTakeaway – This will be my top game stack.  This game should garner some ownership given thematchup, but you can be different by focusing more on the Capitals side overthe Leafs side. I wouldn’t be surprised at a 6-5 final score.

Avalanchevs. Penguins

Avs– This Power Play unit is one of the best and I’m seriously considering bothunits when it comes to using the Avs in tournaments. I believe the Leafs andCapitals will be so popular that the Avs may go overlooked. Core plays from Avsinclude Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan Mackinnon, Nazem Kadri, and Mikko Rantanen. Youcan also do GPP with Tyson Jost, Joonas Donskoi, and Samuel Girard.

Penguins– I’m not as high on the Penguins as I am with the Avs.  The Avs are probably one of the most excitingteams to watch and have such a high powered offense and the Penguins are stillnursing a ton of key injuries. There is some value with the Penguins, but I’mnot as high on them Core plays from Penguins include Sidney Crosby, KrisLetang, and Patric Hornqvist.

KeyDFS Takeaway – As I mentioned, I’m more on the Avsside than the Penguins side, but the Penguins can be a sneaky GPP play.

OtherTeams to Target

Hurricanes– The Hurricanes are surprisingly one of the best teams right now. I think weshould ride the hot streak and continue to stack them even though they are on thesecond night of a back to back. The Sharks seem to be one of the weaker teamsin the league and the Hurricanes should feast on the Sharks. Core plays fromCarolina include Sebastian Aho, Dougie Hamilton, Jordan Staal, and NinoNiederreiter.

Sabres– The defense has been solid and the offense is one of the hottest thus far. Theymatch a less than impressive Ducks squad. Core plays from Buffalo includeJack Eichel , Jeff Skinner, Victor Olofsson, and Sam Reinhart. These guys willbe on the PP1 unit and are a top play for your stacks.

Asalways, I’ll be on the NHL Slack page for most of the day tomorrow.

PGA DFS (10/16)  – The CJ Cup

I hope you took it upon yourself to get a few golfers from my article last week. The Top 3 for me all finished Top 10 and even one won it all! I hope to be on point for you all once again.

CorePlays

SungjaeIm  (FD : $10,300 ; DK : $9,700) – Mytop overall play for this tournament given he is in his hometown. I’ll be doingabout 100 lineups and he will be in half them given his above-average shortgame. Given the hometown play and a solid approach to green game, I’m all in onIm.

IanPoulter (FD : $9,900 ; DK : $8,900) – Best value play and will also bein a good chunk of my lineups. Besides being the angriest golfer on tour, he isa solid all around player. Given this is a more competitive tournament thanlast week, it will be tough to find some value, but he will garner someownership and you should use him too.

MyConsensus Value Rankings for this Tournament:

  • Sungjae Im
  • Ian Poulter
  • Andrew Puntnam
  • Jason Day
  • Luke List
  • Justin Thomas
  • Tommy Fleetwood
  • Jordan Spieth
