Afternoon Slate Pays and Fades DSF wk5by Jen Ryan
Playing smaller slates in daily fantasy can are challenging and rewarding. When focusing in on a smaller player pool, the lines between GPP lineups and cash lineups blur. A strong core is necessary to keep with the field and there is little room to be super-contrarian, but it is that contrarian play...
DFS Pivot Plays week 5 2017by Armando Marsal
Focusing on ownership percentages is critical and finding players that have potential to produce similar numbers (or even better) than higher owned players, will put you in a good position to leap frog in tournament standings and give you a better chance to have a unique lineup.

The Shadow Knows Week 5 2017by Gary Davenport
It isn’t very often that one of the most intriguing matchups in a week of NFL action involves the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It’s been that kind of year so far.
Still, where matchups between cornerbacks and wide receivers go, that’s certainly the case in Week 5, when Antonio Brown and the Pittsburg...

Jaron Brown, WR, Arizona Cardinals
Don't look now, but Jaron is the Brown to roll with in Arizona. He caught 8 of 12 targets for 105 yards against the 49ers last Sunday to continue a three game roll that started with an 11-target day in Week 2 and a six-target Week 3. That total of 29 targe...

Week 5 Flex Targets DraftKings 2017by Armando Marsal
Week 5 is upon us and as usual I am digging into the slate to find some players who make for viable options for the flex spot. Due to the bye weeks, we have four less teams on the board to choose from, so it is something to keep in mind when creating lineups this weekend as you focus on roster const...

Fantasy Points Allowed Week 5 2017by Jen Ryan
We have hit that quarter mark in fantasy football where we can begin removing some of the weight from 2016 data (for the most part) and work with actionable 2017 data. The four week sample is generally understood as the data benchmark for the new season and it gives us a sense of what teams in 2017 ...
Crystal Ball Week 5 2017by Evan Tarracciano

Week 4 was a brutal one as we witnessed some injuries that will have a big impact for fantasy owners.

With that said, let’s take...
