NFL Week 2 Showdown SNF DFS Picks DraftKings and FanDuel

This is my first Sunday Night Football showdown slate write up of the season, and I can’t wait! We have a fun game ahead of us with a lot of uncertainty! I’ll highlight some top plays, players I’m fading (we faded MVS and JuJu on Thursday, and Rashaad Penny on Monday!). Let’s do it.

DraftKings and FanDuel each have a slightly different setup for Showdown slates, with DraftKings using a “Captain” spot. Captain earns you 1.5X points, BUT also costs you 1.5X in salary. FanDuel uses an “MVP”, which is ALSO 1.5X points, but salaries are the same, regardless of position. DraftKings uses 5 FLEX spots, and FanDuel uses 4 “AnyFLEX” spots to fill out your roster.

Make sure to join our Discord to jump into our conversations with the team and share your successes (I am “Myrtle Beach Mermen”, if you understand the reference, we will get along right away! We have a TON of great tools for you to check out, make sure you’re taking advantage! You can find projections here and try out the optimizer here.

Captain/MVP Plays

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers ($15,900 DraftKings, $16,500 FanDuel)

Aaron Rodgers may be tough to predict outside of football, but one thing is certain: he OWNS the Chicago Bears. Over his career, Rodgers is 22-5 against Chicago, and has thrown FOUR touchdown passes in three of their last four matchups.

Yes, Davante Adams is in Las Vegas now (and what a start!) and Rodgers is surrounded by inexperienced targets. That may scare a lot of DFS players away from him this week, but not me. The Packers are favored by 10 in this one with a total of just 41.5 points. The blueprint set out by Vegas with this line says that Rodgers isn’t in an ideal spot. As far as DFS goes? He’s the ultimate leverage play on this slate.

Rodgers is ONLY a Captain/MVP play for me this week. He has the upside to break the slate, but if the Bears can’t keep up his production would likely take a big hit. If I’m playing a single lineup, I’m not going here. If you’re playing multiple lineups, you need SOME exposure to A-Rod up top.

AJ Dillon, Green Bay Packers ($12,600 DraftKings, $13,000

FanDuel)

Not only is Aaron Jones $5,700 more than Dillon at the Captain spot on DraftKings, but he also has a far lower floor than he should as the top-priced option.

Dillon saw six targets in Week 1 (Jones had five), and has established himself as a true threat to Jones atop the depth chart. Dillon is a strong, powerful runner much like Leonard Fournette. Both are 6 foot tall and over 240 pounds. We have seen Tom Brady rely on Fournette over the last few season, and the time is coming for Dillon in Green Bay.

Jones will undoubtedly see quite a bit of work in this one, but I see Dillon being the feature back in early downs. If Vegas is right and the Packers roll on SNF, Dillon will have his mark on this one. Green Bay was unable to get into any rhythm on offense against Minnesota in Week 1, but I don’t see that happening here. Chicago has a decent defense, but was aided significantly by the poor weather in Week 1. Fire up Dillon!

Justin Fields, Chicago Bears ($15,300 DraftKings, $15,500 FanDuel)

I know it seems generic to suggest both QB as options for the bonus spot on a Showdown Slate. Here’s the issue. The offensive weapons for both teams (aside from the QBs and Green Bay RBs) are unreliable and inconsistent.

In two games against the Packers in 2021, Fields posted the following lines:

18/33, 224 yards 2 TD/2 INT, 9 rushes for 74 yards

16/27, 174 yards, 1 TD/1 INT, 6 rushes for 43 yards

While neither was a huge performance by any means, the likelihood that he isn’t one of the top scorers on this slate is small. He has game-breaking athleticism and is a solid decision-maker. You’ll want exposure to Fields on this slate, even if the Bears get blown out. He will be on every one of my showdown lineups.

FLEX/AnyFLEX Options

David Montgomery ($9,000 DraftKings, $13,500 FanDuel)

I’m not putting much stock at all into the production (or lack thereof) by the Chicago Bears offense in Week 1. They were playing in terrible conditions, and the only upside was some awesome pictures of Bears players sliding in the water to celebrate the win.

Montgomery is the bellcow in this backfield, and there is no denying that. While many believe that Khalil Herbert will take over this backfield, I’m not concerned just yet. D-Mont out-snapped Herbert 38-17 in Week 1, and I’m expecting more of the same here. The 17/26 line that he posted was gross to say the least, but what we know is that Montgomery will see volume.

He isn’t a huge factor in the passing game, and we know this. Green Bay was stingy against the run in 2021, allowing only 1302 yards for the whole season. Montgomery is unlikely to break the slate, but he should be a safe bet for 10+ fantasy points in this one. He needs to be on your radar.

Romeo Doubs ($5,600 DraftKings, $7,000 FanDuel)

Now onto the good stuff. Doubs didn’t blow anyone away with his debut against Minnesota (in a PERFECT game script, no less). He posted a 4/37 line on five targets, but I’m expecting big things in 2021. The Bears were middle of the pack (16th) in fantasy points allowed to WR in 2021. They also allowed the 2nd-most TD with 23. Only Arizona (27) allowed more.

There is no more perfect storm on this slate than a young wideout who has been building rapport with Aaron Rodgers in a good matchup. If you’re playing multiple lineups, he isn’t a bad option in the MVP or Captain spot. This could be his breakout game.

Darnell Mooney ($7,800 DraftKings, $11,500 FanDuel)

Back to ignoring Week 1 stats. Not only do they mean little to nothing, but the monsoon-like conditions made it nearly impossible to make plays down the field. You know who is good at making plays down the field? Darnell Mooney.

Let’s wipe away Mooney’s 1/8 line on three targets against the 49ers. He saw 140 targets in 2021, which was 12th-most among WR in the NFL. This offense may be inefficient, and the matchup is less than ideal, but volume prevails here. Fields will be looking for Mooney early and often in this one if the Bears are going to stay close.

I’m choosing to fade Christian Watson after his disastrous drop in Week 1. Sure, it was one play, but that was a game-changing miss. I’m all aboard the Doubs train this week. I’m also fading Robert Tonyan. I will likely be light on Aaron Jones as well. His price tag simply seems too high for me in this one. Give me Dillon.

Both kickers are in play here, and with a total of just 41.5 points, both defenses should be options as well. That said, I much prefer the kickers to the defenses. I will likely have little exposure to D/ST in this one. I believe either could pay off as a decent play, but I’m expecting a clean game on both sides, so I see limited upside.

Other options to consider:

Cole Kmet $2,000 DraftKings, $8,000 FanDuel)

Aaron Jones ($12,200 DraftKings, $14,000 FanDuel)

Sammy Watkins ($7,200 DraftKings, $10,000 FanDuel)

Josaiah Deguara ($2,800 DraftKings, $6,000 FanDuel)

Good luck on Sunday Night! Make sure to follow me on Twitter if you aren’t already, and let’s meet at the top of the leaderboards!

Formula 1: Race Week Miami, May 2022

Richard Masana 3 years ago

written by Richard Masana

Welcome to the 5th edition of Formula 1 Race Week: Miami, May 2022. Round 5 of the championship introduces Miami Autodrone to the Formula 1 calendar. This 3.36 mile street circuit winds it’s way around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins.

Miami reminds me of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where high speed long runs meet slow corners. The Ferrari duo should do well in slow corners, and the Red Bull should get them back in the straights. With an inaugural race anything can happen when the green flag drops Sunday the 8th 3:30pm EST.

Formula 1 DFS: Top Captain Options

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari $17,100. Charles was in the top 2 in all three practice sessions and put himself on the pole to start the race, once again. Miami seems to be a narrow track which should play into Charles gaining maximum DraftKings points by leading laps and a podium finishing position. If you’re playing one lineup or a Single Entry, Charles makes a lot of sense in the Captain position.

Max Verstappen, Red Bull $17,700. Max had an interesting weekend thus far. He started Friday in Free Practice 1 in P3, than followed that up with mechanical issues in FP2. The crew fixed their issue and got Max on the track for FP3 and qualifying. He is set up for long runs and will be featured in my captain spot.

It’s more than possible to play both guys in your lineups utilizing the Cheap 5 points value plays (found later in the article) and dropping down to the mid-priced constructor options, which are not so bad this week.

Low owned captain options

Sergio Perez, Red Bull $15,900. Sergio looked just as competitive as Max in the sister Red Bull. Practing all weekend in the top 3, Sergio will be heavily in the mix for the captain options.

An interesting play this week is Carlos Sainz, Ferrari $15,000. After a tough start to the weekend, crashing in FP1 and getting limited run; Carlos rebounded and qualified in P2. With his recent struggles, he should garner lower ownership and makes for an interesting GPP play.

Formula 1 DFS: Captain options summary

Overall, I would not hesitate to mix and match these top 4 salaried drivers. For DraftKings purposes, keep in mind the 5 points for defeating your teammate as the difference between a 1st place takedown in your tournaments and a 2nd place finish can be as little as 4 points.

Formula 1: DFS Mid Tier options

The mid-tier options are wide open this week. This is where DraftKings scoring strategy comes into play. After 5 weeks of race data, still a small sample size though, there have been fantasy scoring trends; one being: beat your teammate…even better if your select driver finishes in the top 10, and the teammate finished outside that range.

Those 5 points are critical, and if you’re playing multiple lineups this week, I would rotate through the driver options of:

Alpha Tauri

Pierre Gasly $5400 and Yuki Tsunoda $4200. On the Hard compound tires, the Alpha Tauri’s were firmly in play in the top 10. They might opt for a one stop strategy and try to gain track position in the pits. Considering their time on the hards, it could be a strategy that pays off.

Choosing between the two is the really difficult part, but Gasly seems to have the upper hand this weekend. Don’t hesitate to use Alpha Tauri $3800 in the constructor position either.

McLaren

Lando Norris $8600 Lando should get the 5 Deafeat Teammate points this week as he starts 6 positions ahead in P8. The McLaren is set up for a 2 stop stratergy and has not been really impressive in the long runs.

Aston Martin

Sebastian Vettel $3600 and Lance Stroll $3200 The Aston seem to be mimicking Mercedes this weekend, following the same practice strategy all weekend. They will be worthy of roster spots as last man in options for your DraftKings lineups.

The Alfa Romeo of Valtteri Bottas $7400 qualified well, but I have a feeling Valtteri loses out on grid positions during pit rotations.

Formula 1: DFS Cheap 5 points options

Alex Albon $3,400 is always a good cheap 5 points option. Albon has been getting the most out of his Williams, and his teammate really sucks.

Other Options include $9200 Lewis Hamilton and $5800 Fernando Alonso.

Formula 1: DFS Constructor options

Red Bull for $12,000 this weekend. It’s hard to overlook what they can do at P3 and P4, especially in the 2nd half of the race.
Ferrari $11,600. If Sainz and Leclerc can stay in the top 3, the Ferrari makes for a hell of a play.
Mercedes $8400, their race pace always keeps them in the fight.
Alpha Tauri $3800, lets see what that long run pace can do.

Formula 1: Race Week Miami DFS overall strategy

I’m building from the bottom up with weekend in DraftKings. Its tough to outscore the potential 60 points from a constructor finishing with both drivers on the podium. After stressing staying in the midfield with longer run potential (the Alpha Tauris and Astons) Ill be sprinkling in the drivers whom have seriously outscored their teammates (Bottas and Hamilton)

As always I’m excited about another race and am happy to see the hype behind this one. Its been fun watching people like George Lucas, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Danica Patrick, freaking Snoop Dogg running around the paddock. If you have questions please feel free to hit me up in discord @tcuz86. Have fun and thanks for reading Formula 1: Race Week Miami May 2022.

Formula 1 DFS: Race Week from Bahrain 3/20

Warren Kosoy 3 years ago

written by Warren Kosoy

Welcome to the first edition of Formula 1 DFS: Race Week!! My name is Theodore or tcuz86 in the discord chat and it is my pleasure to introduce you to the wonderful world of Formula 1. I would like to extend my gratitude to Jason, @Windaily, and Matt Vecchio @Vecchio for giving me the opportunity to express my thoughts and opinions on Formula 1 for the Win Daily Sports community.

With that out of the way, Ladies and Gentleman, it’s Race Week 1: Bahrain March 20th, and I’m freaking excited!

We kick off the season going 57, 3.3-mile laps in the country of Bahrain, in the Middle East. In this article, I will help introduce you to the drivers, teams, and help you set your daily fantasy lineups.

DK Scoring

The DraftKings Format is just like a showdown event, you’d select 5 drivers, including 1 captain, with the captain gaining 1.5x points, 4 other drivers, and a constructor.

DraftKings scoring for the drivers.

The better your finishing position the higher you will score. P1 gives 25 pts, P2 18 pts, P3 15 pts; all the way to P10, giving 1 point. Bonus points are given for the fastest lap of the race +3 points, laps led +.1 points and beating your teammate +5 points. There are points for place differential (+3 spots, 2 points; +5 spots, 3 points; +10 spots, 5 points) and negative points for losing spots, just like in NASCAR.

DraftKings scoring for the Constructors

Since there are 2 cars per team DK gives out points for both cars’ finishing positions as long as they are in the top 10 spots. As a result, if both Mercedes’ race cars finish P2 and P6 then the Mercedes constructor points would be 26 points (P2 18 points + P6 8 points = 26 points.) Moreover, if both racecars finished on the Podium (positions 1-3) then bonus points would be rewarded.

Therefore, let’s just focus on finishing position more so than place differential. So let’s get to the plays.

Formula 1 DFS: Top Captain Options

Charles Leclerc $16,200. Ferrari. There’s going to be a recurring theme in this First edition of Formula 1 Race Week, and that’s Ferrari is back! Throughout preseason testing, practices, and qualifying, the talk of the paddock has been the resurgence of Scuderia Ferrari. The top driver at Ferrari is Charles Leclerc. Charles has been dominant since teams arrived in Bahrain. As a result, he was P2 in all three practices which mean as teams have been practicing in qualifying and long-run race trim he and his Ferrari were consistently in the top 3 positions. Consequently, he put it all together in qualifying as he qualified P1 for Sunday’s race and he will be my heaviest used top captain option.

Max Verstappen $18,000. Red Bull Racing. Max is the defending 2021 Formula 1 Driver’s Champion after beating Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton in the final race last year. Therefore, He and his #1 Red Bull Racecar are set to defend his championship as the Red Bull looks strong again. He qualified P2 after averaging P2.3 over all three practices. As a result, Max will definitely be cycled through in my multiple lineups for the captain position.

Carlos Sainz $15,300 Ferrari. Carlos is Charles Leclerc’s teammate and will be piloting the sister Ferrari on Sunday. Likewise, he had an average position of P3 during practices and qualified in the same position for Sunday’s race. I don’t see him outperforming his teammate but he will definitely be used in my rosters for Sunday.

Secondary Captain options

Lewis Hamilton $17,400 Mercedes. Lewis is a 7x Formula 1 Driver Champion, tied with the great Michael Schumacher. Lewis and his teammate George Russell are having issues early on in the season with the design of the new 2022 Mercedes. However, he was still able to qualify P5 with an average practice position of 7th. He will be a part of my rotation for the captain spot.

Sergio Perez $13,200 Red Bull Racing. Sergio “Checo” Perez will be piloting the other Red Bull Racing car. Sergio qualified P4 with a 6.7 average practice position. As a result he be rotated through my lineups as a captain.

Formula 1 DFS: Mid Tier Options

George Russell $9600 Mercedes. George will be piloting the other Silver Arrow Mercedes Racing car. George has been waiting to get into this seat for years and is seen as the eventual replacement for Hamilton whenever he decides to retire. George averaged the 4th best practice position and had an issue in qualifying putting him in P9 to start the race, I expect him to gain some positions.

Fernando Alonso $6600 Alpine. Fernando, a 2x F1 driver champ, will be in the Alpine, the former Renault race car. Renault is the parent company to Infiniti, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Alpine, and others. Fernando qualified P8 and had an average practice position of 9.6.

Pierre Gasly $7600 Alpha Tauri. Pierre is the former teammate to Max Verstappen. After being overshadowed and outperformed by Max, Red Bull sent Pierre down to the “junior” sister Alpha Tauri team. Pierre has thrived in the secondary team and the start of the 2022 season has been no different. Pierre qualified P9 and had the same average practice position. He should be a fine mid-tier play in your DK lines.

Esteban Ocon $6200 Alpine. Esteban will be piloting the other Alpine race car. Esteban had an average practice position of P14 and qualified P11.

Nico Hulkenberg $5600 Aston Martin Racing. Nico Makes his return to Formula 1, filling in for former champion Sebastian Vettel who will be back as soon as he clears Covid-19 protocols. Nico slightly underqualified, consequently I expect him to move up some positions. He had an average practice position of 14.3 and qualified P17.

Formula 1 DFS: Top Value drivers and constructor plays

The HAAS drivers, Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher. HAAS uses Ferrari engines, and just like their engine supplier, they have what appears to be a return to competitive form. The HAAS, which is owned by Gene Haas who also co-owns the Stewart-Haas NASCAR racing team, sacrificed the 2021 season in order to assimilate to the 2022 regulations better. Because of the sacrifice it has appeared to have paid off. Since they were so bad last year the drivers are cheap and make for good values as they are $3800 and $3200 respectively. As a result of HAAS’ 2021 performance they can be used as a value constructor.

Ferrari-powered cars are in play early in the 2022 season. Subsequently, this includes the other Ferrari-powered race team, Alfa Romeo, and their drivers Valtteri Bottas and newcomer to F1 Guanyu Zhou, $4600 and $2400. Valtteri used to race with Mercedes last year but is now the top driver on an up-and-coming race team. In the Ferrari powered Alfa Romeo he has shown some quick speeds qualifying in the top 10, P6. However, the Alfa Romeo has had some reliability issues so I would use him and his teammate sparingly.

The other top constructors are the Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes.

Formula 1 DFS: Final Thoughts

Salary and construction-wise you cant use both drivers and the team in your rosters. Therefore, you would have to use a combination of either both drivers and a different constructor in your DFS lineups, or one driver and the constructor. For example Charles Leclerc and Ferrari and if I can fit in Max Verstappen I will. I’ll be trying to rotate in both Ferrari drivers and Ferrari in the constructor spot, same with Red Bull drivers and Red Bull Racing in the constructor spot.

If you’d like help with rosters, or have questions, @ me in the discord chat @tcuz86, and if there are any updates I can be reached there.

It’s my honor to bring to you Formula 1: Race Week Bahrain on March 20th and I’m looking forward to sharing my insight with all.

WinDaily Sports Bankroll Management- DFS 101

WIN 4 years ago

written by WIN

We spend endless hours here at Win Daily Sports breaking down every detail of every sport for every slate. 365 days a year we comb through injury news, matchup data, weather reports, depth charts, and coaching styles to give the the best chance to Win Daily. Our name is more than just a catchy title to grab your attention. It is a mantra that we aim to live up to inside and outside of fantasy sports. For this reason we are going to start taking deeper dives into fundamentals that you may not always think about but are no less important than the lineups that you build and WinDaily Sports Bankroll Management- DFS 101 is a step towards helping you have long term success.

If your goal is to have long term success in Fantasy Sports there are good habits that you need to develop and bad habits that you need to actively avoid. Bankroll Management is rarely talked about outside of generalized statements in most of the community but if you listen to Jason talk on our show on SiriusXM during the NFL season I know for a fact that you have heard it. He talks about taking the budget that you are willing to spend and breaking it down either into 16 smaller weekly budgets so that you don’t overextend yourself in any given week. In the explanation below for ease of explanation I’ll talk about a sample NFL budget 10 weeks long but you can apply this in whatever segments work best for you (by day, week, month, by sport broken down by day/week/month) so that you can understand where your budget is at any given point so that can see where you should adjust.

WinDaily Sports Bankroll Management- DFS 101 Bankroll Overview:

First thing that you need to do is take an honest stock of your financial situation. Everyone is different. Some of us can play $100 dollars a night and not think twice. Others play the quarters or dollar. The process remains the same. The one thing that you can not do is throw all of you money into a slate at any given night. We all want to hit it big but there is no worse long term choice.

Let’s say for this ten week stretch you can commit $1,000 dollars to your bankroll. At this baseline you should divide this up into close to equal segments (you can move up or down on a given week based on an honest assessment of you confidence in a given slate but don’t go crazy) so $100 dollars per week so here is

Money/Time= Budget or (M/T)=B or 1000/10= $100 per week

WinDaily Sports Bankroll Management- DFS 101 Contest Selection:

Everyone wants the big win, I get it. That $1,000,000 top prize is enticing. It is also no better than a lottery ticket if you are putting one or two entries in it. The players you always see up top are putting 150 entries into EVERY SINGLE CONTEST IN EVERY SINGLE SPORT. That means at the exact same skill level if you enter two lineups you have a .013% chance of winning before even taking skill, other players, contest size, or pay line into consideration. That’s just head to head. Do you understand why we want you to avoid until you have the bankroll to do it? You should live in single entry in both cash and GPP until you can go toe to toe with these guys/gals. Those contests also have the worst pay structure and they take the highest percentage of cash out as rake (payment to the dfs site pulled from player entries) sometimes reaching as much as 18% of the prize pool. The question you need to ask next is how much of your money should you put in each type of contest below.

WinDaily Sports Bankroll Management- DFS 101 The 80/20/10 Rule

Here is where the rubber meets the road. How do we finally divide this up. The standard rule for the longest time was 80/20/10 but now the game has changed over the years to be a little more advantageous towards GPP’s so people have started going with 75/25/10 or even 70/30/10 but the premise is the same and it just depends on your risk tolerance. The 10 is simple. It is the percentage of your total bankroll that you should spend during any predetermined period of time that you selected. We already did that when we took our $1,000 budget and divided it up over 10 weeks so $100 per the example. Of that $100 you should split it between 80% Cash games (50/50’s, Double-Ups) and 20% GPP’s (Single Entry). If you want to take 5% of the GPP’s and apply it to the lottery tickets to have some fun have at it, we all love the big win. So taking the earlier formula (M/T) and apply the 80/20 (we already have the 10 for budget) rule and we get $80 dollars for for Single entry cash games and $20 dollars for single entry GPP’s or $18 for Single entry GPP’s and $2 for the lotto tickets.

(M/T)=B, then (C/B), (G/B), (B/MG) or (1000/10)= $100, then (80/100)= .08 or $80 (move the decimal two spaces to the right for your dollar number) then (20/100)= .2 or $20 for GPP, or $15 for SE GPP and $5 for Multi Entry GPP if putting the 5% in the lotto tickets. I know that sounds confusing so without the word salad it’s:$1,000 total, $100 per slate, $80 to cash, and $20 to GPP’s for any slate over your chosen budget period.

WHY?

The most important question, Why? Simple, we all experience periods where we struggle to hit that cash line and bankroll management aims to minimize the amount of money you lose during these down periods. In some cases, you can continue to make a small consistent profit in your cash games while not cashing in your tournaments allowing you to grow your bankroll and capitalize on GPP’s easier once you have that perfect lineup.

Hope you enjoyed my Win Daily Sports Bankroll Management- DFS 101. I hope this has been an informative article for you all and that you can take the guidelines I have provided and apply them for your long-term benefit. Any questions about this or any other general strategies, any of our team members will be available all day in the WinDaily Discord chat.

1/23/21 ESPORTS DFS: JT’S League of Legends LPL/LCK Combo Plays.

Jim Thomson 4 years ago

written by Jim Thomson

We are locked and loaded, ready for tonight’s LOL DFS slate. The key to winning a GPP or Cash game is to make sure you pick the top two stacks of two winning teams. Tonight, I will give you two plays that I am loading up on for this LOL DFS slate.

TOP PLAY:

The first stack that I’m going to lock in will be Damwon Gaming (DWG). DWG is dropping in as a -1400 favorite. They are coming off of a devastating loss to Brion Blade (BRO). BRO surprised the world when they swept DWG, and I think DWG will be out for blood. After the atrocious performance against BRO, they should be back on track against a kill-feeding AF team. AF is nothing special and will get obliterated in every lane. Look for DWG to force-feed Canyon en route to a monstrous, point proving victory. I would not want to be AF in this spot, and I will have multiple three and four-man stacks of DWG in my LOL DFS lineups.

MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY: DAMWON GAMING (DWG) (-1400)

SECONDARY PLAY:

The next stack I’m going to take a risk on is a team that plays up to their opponents. They lose to the teams that are below them and beat the superior teams. The group I speak of is Suning Gaming (SN). SN is coming off two brutal losses, but before that, they dethroned TES. I think SN gets back on track as a +145 underdog against an impressive FunPlus Phoenix team (FPX). This is a very risky play, and I will have a few shares of FPX to cover my bases, but I’ll be heavier on SN looking to take an under-owned team to the top of the GPP and Cash game leaderboards.

MY ESPORTS SECONDARY DFS PICK: SUNING GAMING (SN) (+145)

ESPORTS DFS SLATE SUMMARY:

When building LOL DFS lineups, I usually prioritize ADC and MID as the captain. When getting different, I recommend sticking to the two stacks you choose and having another lineup or two using a JNG captain. I am not opposed to switching up from the standard LPL/LCK (Favorites) team stacks on this slate. If there is no risk, there is no reward. Remember to make sure that your LOL DFS lineup makes sense.

I will be available in the WinDailySports Discord for any questions or concerns you may have Discord. Feel free to reach out to me on Discord or Twitter @JThomsonDFS. Here at WinDaily, we are here to help you WinDaily! Don’t forget to check out all of the content that we have to offer. Let’s make money together!

More LOL means more LOL DFS. We continue the dominance with another four-game LOL DFS slate, with the LPL/LCK coming up with some big games on the day. Tonight I’m going to give you two of my plays for tonight’s LOL slate.

TOP PLAY:

We are going to start with what, in my eyes, is a coin flip matchup, and that is Gen G vs. T1. Gen. G is the side I’m going to be riding on. They are coming in as an even-money underdog (+100). This is going to be a very bloody yet strategic battle. It should go all three games of the series. Both of these teams have the potential to edge out a victory and accumulate kills for their team. I am going to side with Gen simply due to the fact that they have been playing hyper-aggressive and have been pulling out significant victories. I believe they pull out another one in this spot.

MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY: GEN. G. ESPORTS (GEN) (+100)

SECONDARY PLAY:

The next team I am going to focus on is going to be TEAM WE. WE has done nothing but come out with victories recently. They have found a way to gel together and produce a ton of kills. They are a massive favorite (-1000) against TT, and for a good reason. WE should dominate all over the map from the second they drop into the rift. I’m going to have both three and four-man stacks of WE in hopes of leading me and everyone else to a big GPP or cash game win. Lock in Team WE to get it done tonight.

MY ESPORTS SECONDARY DFS PICK: TEAM WE (WE) (-1000)

After a couple of days of only LPL LOL DFS, we have the LCK LPL combo slates back in action. We have four outstanding games that will leave everyone on the edges of their seats. I’m going to give you two of my top plays for tonight’s LOL DFS four-game slate.

TOP PLAY:

The first team I am going to focus on is going to be Invictus Gaming (IG). They are a -700 favorite against a kill feeding EStar team (ES). IG has been at the top of the leaderboards for years now. They have the ability to win a defensive series or win a kill-happy series. They can compete with any team in the LPL. I believe that they blast into the MID lane and force their way through. ES does not have the skill or talent to keep up with IG, in my opinion.

MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY: INVICTUS GAMING (IG) (-700)

SECONDARY PLAY:

The second stack I’ll be running is NS Redforce (NS). They are a -160 favorite and have shown a considerable increase in talent and performance so far this split. They have completely rebuilt and have added experience to their roster. NS went deep in the KeSPA cup before falling to a dominant DWG team. They will force-feed the bottom lane and plow right through DRX in this best of three series.

MY ESPORTS SECONDARY DFS PICK: NS REDFORCE (NS) (-160)

The PreSeason of LCS and the continued LOL DFS opportunities are still available. We have an intriguing four-game LOL DFS slate ahead of us, and we are ready to slay the LOL dragon! I am going to give you my top two targets for tonight’s LCS PreSeason extravaganza.

TOP PLAY:

The first stack I’m offering is a team that will be very popular, and I don’t want to get caught without them in my LOL DFS lineups. The team I speak of is none other than Evil Geniuses (EG). EG is a wild -335 favorite against Team Dignitas (DIG). I believe this line should be closer to -500, but I’ll gladly accept -335. EG just obliterated Immortals 17-3 and destroyed Cloud9 (C9), the best team in the LCS 21-10. At least they were the best team, but I believe we now have a new contender.

In both games, Deftly (ADC) from EG topped the leaderboard in kills, and I am going to be making him a priority in my LOL DFS lineups. The Evil Geniuses should destroy DIG in every lane and force their destructive paths right through the BOT lane. I will have combinations of all EG players in multiple different lineups and will make them my most exposed LCS team on tonight’s slate.

MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY: EVIL GENIUSES (EG) (-335)

SECONDARY PLAY:

The second team I’m going to prioritize will be Team Solomid (TSM). They are -300 favorites against Counter Logic Gaming (CLG). TSM has already been able to put up a decent amount of kills so far, and now they are dropping into the rift against a team that allows a ridiculous amount of kills per game. CLG lacks defensive strategies and will destroy them if they keep going this way. I will prioritize TSM, but I will have minor shares of CLG in different lineups just in case it goes sideways.

CLG let up 25 kills in a win against 100 Thieves and 18 kills in a loss to The Golden Guardians (GG). I expect this to be a high scoring game and for TSM to put up anywhere from 20-25 kills in their victory. It is entirely possible that TSM also lets up enough kills for the rare occurrence of a true game stack in GPP’s ONLY. The game stack is high risk, DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING MULTIPLE LINEUPS.

MY ESPORTS SECONDARY DFS PICK: TEAM SOLOMID (TSM (-300)

ESPORTS DFS SLATE SUMMARY:

When building my LOL DFS lineups, I would typically prioritize MID and ADC as my captain. In this scenario, with the LCS being only a best of one series, any position can be optimal as your captain. I will still have many lineups using MID and ADC as captain, but I am not opposed to using JNG or TOP to suit the salary requirements. Use your best judgment when building your lineups, and the sky is the limit. I will have many lineups from multiple different team stacks in order to cover my bases, and I recommend that you do the same. Especially being the first day of the return of the LCS and having minimal data to research.

1/17/21 ESPORTS DFS: JT’S League of Legends LPL/LCK Combo Plays.

We are on a roll with LOL DFS. The past few days, we have had takedowns left and right. Tonight we are going target some LOL DFS from tonight’s LPL/LCK combo slate. I am going to give you my two stacks that I am going to prioritize and build around in hopes of taking down another LOL DFS GPP.

TOP PLAY:

The first stack that I am going to prioritize around is LNG Esports (LNG). LNG is coming off an amazing victory and sweep of one of the LPL powerhouses (IG). They produced a total of 36 kills and held IG to 16 total kills. Now they face off against a team on the other end of the spectrum compared to IG. LNG is going to war with TT, the former atrocious Dominus Esports team. They did not make many adjustments in the offseason. Just because they changed their name does not automatically make them a better team. LNG should light up TT like a Christmas tree and sweep them with no problem at all.

MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY:LNG ESPORTS (LNG) (-550)

SECONDARY PLAY:

The second stack I’m going to target is Team WE (WE). WE is facing off against Invictus Gaming (IG) as a slight underdog (+105). WE has been impressive so far this season and have surprised a lot of people. They used to blow the lead late in the game. Now, with their additions, adjustments to their roster, and strategic game plan, they have become a team that can power through anyone. IG will be out for blood after taking a nasty beat in their last game to LNG. In my opinion, Team WE will force themselves through each lane and back IG into a corner that they can not get out of. I believe that this series goes to the last game but with WE being victorious.

MY ESPORTS SECONDARY DFS PICK: TEAM WE (WE) (+105)

With the LCS back in full preseason mode with LOL DFS, we are here to offer you some money-making plays. The LCS kickstarted with some huge upsets. Even though this is just the preseason, it does not mean that there is no money to win, and I will help you win some of it. I will drop two of my top plays in this article that can lead you down the path of a GPP or Cash game victory on this LCS three-game slate.

TOP PLAY:

The first stack I am going to run will be with a +315 underdog. This underdog is on the board with their first victory over CLG today. Golden Guardians (GG) are coming in as a monster underdog, and I do not understand why. They are battling it out against TSM, a team that was just upset today by 100 Thieves. If TSM plays like they did in their first match, they will be in for another long game. GG has the firepower to completely take over a game, and I think it will happen in their matchup against TSM. This is a risky play, but who can complain when it leads you to a big GPP score!

MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY: GOLDEN GUARDIANS (GG) (+315)

SECONDARY PLAY:

The second stack I am going to focus on is Evil Geniuses (EG). EG is coming in as a -300 favorite against a young and inexperienced Immortals team. EG just upset Cloud9 today in what was a fantastic way to start the split off. They were able to use their key weapons in every lane en route to beating Cloud9 21-10 in kills and looked like a potential force to be reckoned with in the regular season. Even though this is the preseason, I will still bank on EG pulling this one out, with possibly the highest scoring stack on the slate.

MY ESPORTS SECONDARY DFS PICK: EVIL GENIUSES (ED) (-300)
