DFSR's NFL Daily Fantasy Podcast

DFSR's James Davis and Doug Norrie are back to discuss every game on the main slate of NFL DFS games on FanDuel and DraftKings. While some positions are looking chalky, there are a number of interesting tidbits to discuss this week. The greatest discussion centers around the running back options this week. Each of the big-ticket guys has their own question marks - whether it's Zeke's terrible week 6, Alvin Kamara's role with the return of Michael Thomas, or Derrick Henry's tough match-up with Pittsburgh, things are looking fairly difficult. We also have some potentially intriguing mid-range options, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire far too cheap if Le'Veon Bell doesn't arrive, Kareem Hunt back in a good situation, and Joe Mixon potentially missing this one. There are also cheap plays people could target, like Kenyan Drake or DeAndre Swift. For big tournaments, it seems like we could go in any number of directions. Wide receiver has plenty of questions of its own. Should we be thinking about expensive options in big tournaments, even if we can't play them in cash? We might have buy low opportunities on Davante Adams or DeAndre Hopkins, for instance. There are also some guys whose stock might be too expensive. Can we go back to the Julio Jones well after one big week? Can we keep buying on the way up for guys like Chase Claypool or DK Metcalf, whose prices are on the rise based mostly on touchdown equity? All in all, there is a ton to discuss, so this isn't a podcast you're going to want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Doug and James return with an early look at cash games for week 7. While we aren't staring down the barrel of a lot of obvious uncertainty this week, there is still plenty to think about. Quarterback is looking moderately straightforward, with Deshaun Watson getting cheaper while continuing to perform at a top level. On DraftKings the DFSR system is picking out some cheaper options, with Joe Burrow surfacing as an interesting option against the Browns this week. Running back is where the real questions start to surface, with the system wanting to play an expensive option, but not knowing which one. Kamara would be a great play if Thomas sits, but Thomas might return. Zeke would be a top option if he were guaranteed all the carries, but he got benched last week after having fumbling issues. Henry would be the best guy if his match-up were better, but he's going up against a meat grinder in the Steelers. And there are a plethora of mid-range options that look similar as well. Wide receiver continues to be where we're finding value, with Keenan Allen looking like a must play now that he's fully healthy again. The guys also discuss cheaper options like Brandin Cooks, Robby Anderson, and Jamison Crowder - breaking down the respective pros and cons of each. Tight end is a conundrum this week. If everyone is healthy, George Kittle might be a must-play even at a moderately high price tag. If opportunity opens up for Darren Fells or Anthony Firkser, either could be cash game viable this week as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's difficult to do a game by game breakdown when some games might not even play this week (I'm looking at you, Atlanta-Minnesota), but here we are. With 4 teams on byes, a few games that are totally irrelevant for DFS purposes, and not a whole lot of intriguing injuries, this will be one of the more challenging weeks in recent memory. "Safety" might not be a word that applies to this slate when it's all said and done, so it could be more about trying to capture upside while grabbing safety where you can. That said, it will be more important than ever to get the fine details as correct as possible. Is this a game script where we could see James Conner return to a great share of the carries? Can we trust any Titans at all on record low rest after a Tuesday night game? How much should we be weighing match-ups this week? Is Detroit's incredible match-up with the Jags enough to vault them into lineups? And likewise, do guys like Joe Mixon or Kareem Hunt have such bad match-ups that we need to cross them off? There are an incredible amount of questions heading into this week, and the DFSR guys are here to do their best to answer them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The uncertainty train rolls on, with Atlanta catching multiple positive Covid-19 tests on Wednesday morning. The DFSR team soldiers on, giving you their cash game plays for week 6. On FanDuel, quarterback has one clear leader of the pack in DeShaun Watson. On DraftKings, the guys discuss potentially chasing some cheaper options in Ryan Fitzpatrick or Matthew Stafford. It's a very short main slate, and the savings might matter more than ever. Two running back plays look fairly locked in right now, with Mike Davis and Alexander Mattison leading the pack by a fair margin. If Mattison doesn't play, however, things get dicey in a hurry. The guys discuss other options, like Ronald Jones Jr., Aaron Jones, and even Kareem Hunt in a tough match-up. Wide receiver gives us a few more great mid-range options in Jamison Crowder and Robby Anderson, and then a wide variety of options to choose from after that. Can we trust Calvin Ridley if Julio Jones returns? What about Chase Claypool or Travis Fulgham? Wide receiver is very interesting this week, with a number of directions to turn.

It's hard to remember a time with less certainty in the NFL. We've got whole games in jeopardy, big stars with injury tags, and a number of teams with incredibly unusual starts to the season. God, it's great to have sports in our lives again. In this week's game by game breakdown the guys discuss how this week is shaping up. Is there any running back value to be had here? Can we trust Kareem Hunt given what we saw from D'Ernest Johnson last week? Will Damien Harris continue to shoulder most of the carries for New England? Or are we better off playing it safe with the likes of Mike Davis and James Conner? There's a lot to discuss there. Wide receiver poses challenges of its own. The guys were bullish on Terry McLaurin in the cash game podcast yesterday, but with Kyle Allen taking over as his QB do they feel the same way? Will the change in coaching staff in Houston be good or bad for the Texans' offense in the near term? What on Earth can we make of the Falcons' receiving corps after what we saw last week? The position is sort of a mess. Tight end adds a few question marks too, with Kittle potentially getting Jimmy G back (is that good or bad?) and likely being in a different game script this week as well. With all these question marks, this isn't a podcast you'll want to miss. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Week 5 is here, and Doug and James are back to break down their cash game plays on DraftKings and FanDuel. With the league swirling with uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, we should understand that these are preliminary looks at cash game selections. That being said, we do have a number of good options this week. Quarterback looks to be a position we are going to pay up at again, with the usual suspects all looking like great plays in good match-ups. The guys discuss whether we can trust Dak's production given the wild game scripts the Cowboys have played, whether we can take a little savings and play Deshaun Watson, or even turn to Teddy Bridgewater on DraftKings. Running back features a few interesting cheaper options in Mike Davis, Kareem Hunt, and Jerick McKinnon, with some nice expensive options in Ezekiel Elliott and Derrick Henry (if the Titans play, of course). Wide receiver was more of a mixed bag, with Amari Cooper ($7,800 on FD) being the only expensive wide receiver entering into consideration. It looks like another week where we'll fill out our cash game rosters with cheaper or midrange options like Robby Anderson or Terry McLaurin. Tight end looks to be a one man show this week, with George Kittle feeling a heck of a lot safer than the rest of the cheaper options. There's a chance we pivot to Jonnu Smith if the Titans actually play, but for now it looks like the rare week where we'll be paying up at tight end. Learn more about your ad choices.

With Henry getting bumped off the main slate and Michael Thomas potentially returning to cut into Alvin Kamara's targets, running back is starting to look pretty thin all of a sudden. Do we spend all the way up for Zeke? Can we get by with Josh Jacobs as an underdog against the Bills? What about some cheaper options in good match-ups, like Joe Mixon, or Darrell Henderson Jr.? It's never fun to have big question marks at running back, and the guys wade through the options in each game. Wide receiver offers us a ton of value across the board, with excellent high priced options like DeAndre Hopkins, all the way down to great cheap options like Will Fuller V or Tyler Boyd. Heck, we even have a well fleshed out mid range of wide receiver options with the resurgence of Keenan Allen and Allen Robinson. For that reason we'll likely be filling our wide receiver slot last based on where we need to pay up elsewhere. All in all week 4 is shaping up to be another barn burner, so be sure to turn in and hear the DFSR team's thoughts on each game for the NFL DFS main slate! Learn more about your ad choices.

Week 4 is here, and Doug and James are back to break down their cash game plays on DraftKings and FanDuel. While there is less obvious value heading into this week, things are taking a pretty clear direction early on. The guys agree that you're likely going to want to pay up at quarterback this week, picking between names Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott, and Russell Wilson. Running back is going to look a lot different this week as well with fewer obvious cheap value options this week. DFSR is looking to lean on high usage guys like Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Derrick Henry, while trying to find some cheap targets from Mike Davis. Since we're spending up heavily at running back and quarterback we'll likely middle out wide receiver with high target value options like Tyler Lockett, Amari Cooper, and even a resurgent Keenan Allen. Tight end looks disastrous as always, but the guys make the case for Jimmy Graham after Nick Foles took over at QB and his production exploded. Learn more about your ad choices.

Doug and James get their heads together for their exhaustive game by game breakdown for the week 3 main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings. It's hard to remember a week more influenced by injuries, with big names across every position missing this week or done for the season. Not all punt plays are created equally, however, and the guys discuss the differences between grabbing back-ups for the Panthers, both New York teams, the 49ers, and more. Meanwhile, there are a number of wide receivers in new situations that we need to adjust. James and Doug talk about how they are readjusting their priors on guys like Stefon Diggs, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, and the various rookie wide receivers. They also discuss a few interesting betting plays. All in all, this is not a podcast you want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Week 3 is a strange one for cash games, mostly because the plays seem very straight forward. A slew of running back injuries has left us with too many great punt options to choose from, with Jonathan Taylor, Jerick McKinnon, and Mike Davis all looking like great cash game options. When we have that much money left over we're basically just picking between big name stars at other positions. The guys discuss the choice between Cam Newton and Kyler Murray at quarterback, where it looks like site based pricing might be a deciding factor. Wide receiver lends itself to some interesting considerations as well, with the primary discussion trending around how much we can trust two weeks of stats this year versus stats from last year. Is Diontae Johnson the real deal? Can we expect Calvin Ridley to shoulder most of the targets in Atlanta? There is a lot to discuss. Finally the guys wrap things up at tight end, where we might have the luxury of paying up at tight end for the first (and perhaps last) time this season. Learn more about your ad choices.

The DFSR team is back with a comprehensive game by game breakdown of every contest on the main slate this week. There's a lot more certainty headed into week 2 after we've had a week to see what coaches have planned for their teams, but the guys also discuss the importance of not reacting to outlier performances from week 1. The guys discuss which big performances looked legit, which disappointing performances are concerning, and where we should expect regression to the mean. There are too many individual performances to pin down in this writeup, so you'll have to tune in to hear how Doug and James are approaching this week's contests on FanDuel and DraftKings.

The DFSR team is back with their cash game picks for week two of NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. It's a nice and full main slate of games with plenty of great options at every position, so this week looks like one where we're trying to find the cream of the crop rather than settling for merely good plays. Except for tight end. Screw tight end. The guys agree that Kyler Murray is the chalk QB option out of the gate, but nod to a few other options that are at least worth consideration. At running back there are two excellent $8,000+ options in Derrick Henry and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, with some cheap options to fill things out. Wide receiver is very deep, with great options across multiple price points. The big question there will surround where we want to allocate our funds. Tight end is a disaster as usual, where the expensive guys are too expensive and the cheap guys are very risky.

The DFSR team is back with a game by game breakdown for every single contest on the NFL main slate for DraftKings and FanDuel. The theme throughout the podcast remains the same: trusting known situations. With so much uncertainty leading into the season, Doug and James talk about how we should expect to see guys in new situations take a little while to get on the same page. There is a lot of buzz for guys like Henry Ruggs III, or Tom Brady, or Todd Gurley, but those aren't necessarily situations you need to be a week early on. There are a lot of spots where we can get value, and dream on big upside at the same time. We don't have space to discuss it all here - you'll have to jump into the podcast to hear where DFSR sees things heading early in the season. Want the projections that power these podcasts?

The DFSR team is back with a DFS NFL cash game podcast for week 1! It looks like this NFL season is actually going to happen, so we might as well go ahead and make some money off of it. Things start at quarterback, where Doug and James debate the merits of paying up for Lamar Jackson vs. finding safety with a cheaper option. If you do fade Jackson, how cheap can you go? They discuss Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, and Teddy Bridgewater. Running back for week 1 is looking very difficult, with Christian McCaffrey standing out as one of the only truly safe points per dollar options. The guys discuss a few young running backs from last season that are looking to take over the reins full time, and agree that it's looking like a tough position in general. There are a good handful of cheap wide receivers out there, though, with the DFSR lineup optimizer projecting a lot of targets for guys like Jarvis Landry, Tyler Lockett, DeSean Jackson, and more. Tight end looks like a battle between Zach Ertz and Hayden Hurst, with the main decision coming down to how much money you have left over when you finally get to the position.
