Another week of unpredictable football is behind us! Players who were highly owned like Kareem Hunt, at 33% ownership, failed to live up to the hype by posting an unimpressive 10.8 DK points. With that being said, let’s see how my weekly DFS picks played out!
Below I am going to highlight some of the best plays for this Sunday’s main slate. I have broken these plays down by position and by “Top Price”, “Middle Price”, and “Low Price”. Then, I list the players’ respective prices, projected points, and projected ownership in tournaments. Projected ownership is important to keep in mind for tournament plays as opposed to a regular cash play. In the “Notes,” I have given my thoughts about each player. I have also color-coded the quality level of each play. Green stands for a top-tier play, yellow is a middle-tier play, and red is a fade play. (I only note players predicted over 8% ownership.)
The most exciting game of the week was when the Chargers traveled to Kansas City for a matchup between two of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL. Justin Herbert came out of the gates strong, building an early 14-0 lead in the first half. The comeback that was expected from Patrick Mahomes, was delivered in the third quarter with consecutive passing scores to take a 17-14 lead. The fourth quarter of this game may have been the most exciting 15 minutes of football this season.

Well, that was an unpredictable Week 2! We saw top fantasy assets completely bust and low-owned players perform at a high level. This is why you can never just assume results. A good way to prevent weekly ‘busts’ is to create multiple lineups and have exposure to a multitude of different players.
Another week of football, another week of craziness! Teams like the Dolphins put up goose eggs, Saints downgraded from an efficient week one to a disappointing week two, and the Chargers and Cowboys games were less than extravagant. With that being said, let’s see how my weekly DFS picks played out!
What a crazy week one. We saw top fantasy assets completely bust and low-owned players perform at a high level. This is why you can never just assume results. A good way to prevent weekly ‘busts’ is to create multiple lineups and have exposure to a multitude of different players.
What a crazy and unpredictable fantasy football Sunday. There were many unpredictable outcomes yesterday as Rodgers was horrible, Jameis had five touchdowns with no interceptions, and Ryan Tannehill failed to produce in an expected shootout. You can never expect the unexpected. Below, I am going to highlight my top DFS picks along with my biggest mistakes in week one.

Building a DFS lineup can be a daunting task. The salary cap system is vastly different from a typical snake draft, and the potential player combinations are quite literally endless. In this article, I’ll be laying out some of my favorite DFS strategies and tips to help you sift through those difficult decisions and set your lineups with confidence.

Every week this article identifies and breaks down a variety of players to consider in your Yahoo cash and tournament lineups. While some of the plays are of the safe cash-game variety, I also include several high risk-high reward options as well. In cash-games, we’re looking for a floor based on what is most likely to happen. In GPPs, the goal is always to figure out how to differentiate your lineup just enough to get away from the field and give yourself a chance at a big payday. Remember, more often than not, there’s no need to get super-weird and roster an entire lineup of off-the-board plays. Instead, build a lineup with upside and then identify a low-owned player or two that has a chance to go off and jump you to the top of a large-field GPP.

It looks like the team over at Yahoo Daily Fantasy Sports resisted rolling out mass multi-entry products for as long as they could, as three weeks into the NFL season they now have 125 max and 150 max entry limits in their two biggest contests. We should assume some sort of shift in their marketing strategy is coming, as well as CSV-upload capability, relatively soon. It likely signals the end of the 10 entry maximum era there, and it will be interesting to see if targeting the high dollar mass multi-entry market can elevate them to the level of FanDuel and DraftKings eventually.

Over at Yahoo Daily Fantasy Sports, they’re kicking off the NFL season with a $1,000,000 GPP tournament that pays out $100,000 to the first-place finisher. In our effort here at Dynasty Football Factory to comprehensively cover and provide analysis on the entire DFS landscape each week, I’m breaking down the best options on Yahoo for both GPPs and Cash games in Week 1. One important thing to note about Yahoo is that unlike some other DFS platforms, the Sunday main slate also includes the Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots game on Sunday night so there a few extra guys in the player pool to consider. For those just getting started on Yahoo, the scoring system is most similar to FanDuel (.5 point PPR), while the lineup makeup is exactly the same as the two major sites. The biggest difference is pricing, where instead of dealing with thousands of dollars, the budget is just $200 and players are generally priced between $10 (minimum) and the low $40 range. Now that you know the drill, let’s take a look at the Week 1 plays.
