Dfsr's Nfl Daily Fantasy Podcast

Welcome to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs! After a solid Wild Card round the guys return to break down what looks like a tough slate of NFL DFS contests on FanDuel and DraftKings. While there are plenty of good expensive plays, there are precious few ways to get savings to enable them. Which can you play between Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, Dalvin Cook, and Aaron Jones? And if you do, which of Gus Edwards, Deebo Samuel, or Emmanuel Sanders can you really run out there? There are a lot of things to think about this week, so be sure to join Doug and James as they break it all down.

Wild card weekend is here, and the DFSR team has you covered with all you need to know for FanDuel and DraftKings this weekend. James and Doug break each game down in terms of its relevant DFS plays and injury news, emphasizing the difference between playing the single day slates and the full weekend slates. Saturday's slate is a weird one that features a lot of tough defenses, and a truly bad DFS offense in the Patriots. At the end of the day it might come down to trying to find good playable options at every position rather than forming a typical "stars and scrubs" lineup we get used to during the regular season. Can you pay up for Derrick Henry? Which of the QB-WR pairs look the safest for cash games? Doug and James break it all down. Sunday's slate features more conventional great DFS plays, with the Saints' big two in Kamara and Thomas serving as headliners. It also has some nice cheap options availing themselves thanks to Chris Carson being ruled out and the Eagles dealing with a number of skill positio

With a bunch of teams playing with questionable motivations this week, the bulk of this podcast is spent trying to find safe plays by figuring out which teams appear to be motivated to give their most relevant DFS options excess opportunity. The guys talk about how this practice will help them lean into plays like Michael Thomas, while not prioritizing plays like Julio Jones. They also discuss the difference between the scoreboard watching that's likely to take place in Kansas City, where the Chiefs can clinch a first round bye only if the Pats lose, or the scoreboard watching taking place in Dallas where they are playing for their whole season. All in all, things are shaping up to be fascinating for real life football purposes and for fantasy, so you aren't going to want to miss this podcast that gives you the full picture you'll need for week 17.

The DFSR team is back with their week 16 game by game podcast. With the best defenses largely playing on Saturday, there is a lot of opportunity for action on the main slate. With Jacobs ruled out, DeAndre Washington will be a highly owned play across all formats, and that also opens up a lot of salary for other positions. The guys discuss Christian McCaffrey's race for the all time yards from scrimmage record, Julio Jones' 20 target week, and how much we should trust the opportunity of good players from bad teams as we get toward the end of the season. With a marquee match-up between Dallas and Philly, a few well placed punts, and some excellent big money plays, this is shaping up to be an excellent week of NFL DFS.

James and Doug are back with their cash game plays for NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings for week 15. Quarterback sees some familiar names this week, with Lamar Jackson looking like the obvious headliner in a solid spot against the Browns. On DraftKings there is a tempting Andy Dalton play looming, as a $5,200 price tag is looking awfully cheap when considering Dalton will take on the league's worst defense. Running back offers some fun decisions this week. Should we pay up for Zeke, or Saquon Barkley? Is it finally time to run Joe Mixon in cash games against the league's worst rushing defense? Was Miles Sanders' explosion last week legit, or should we expect regression? The guys break it all down. Wide receiver features a number of different possible directions one could go. Do we pay up for Michael Thomas, or save $1,000 and go down to Julio Jones, who had 20 targets against the 49ers last week? Can we roll it back with DJ Moore? What do we make of Greg Ward's 9 targets in each of the last two weeks? Ti

James and Doug are back breaking down every single game in the DFS NFL landscape for the main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings for week 15. With a full run of games and a lot of teams still in the playoff mix, we have a lot of options to choose from for cash games this week.  We have some high total games with a lot of great plays, like Houston and Tennessee, and some games where we can't find a lot of value, like Atlanta and San Francisco.  There are some injury situations that could open up more opportunity, like Rashaad Penny, Mike Evans, and Josh Jacobs, and some players returning who could take away some of the value plays we had last week (like Le'Veon Bell). All in all, there is a lot to discuss, so join the DFSR team as they break it all down.

Doug and James are back with their cash game selections for week 15 in NFL DFS.  With fewer and fewer teams left with anything to play for, things start getting a little dicey for NFL cash games, but that doesn't mean we can't find value here. DFSR is settling into some potentially expensive quarterbacks this week, with Dak being the current leader in the clubhouse. The guys talk about how to put tough recent games into context, and discuss how no matter who you wind up playing you're going to have to make some concessions. Running back appears to be a little more straightforward this week. McCaffrey still got plenty of usage in a tough game for the Panthers last week, and there is plenty of savings to go around to help you afford him. The reigns were finally taken off Todd Gurley last week, and if he returns to last year's opportunity he's absolutely a steal. Running back also has a lot of potential punts this week, from Patrick Laird, to DeAndre Washington, and potentially Dion Lewis. Wide Receiver is r

The DFSR crew is breaking down every game on the FanDuel and DraftKings main slate with injury news, betting lines, cash vs. GPP plays and much more. They roll through the matchups, highlighting certain plays and making distinctions about different opportunities. They have a bunch of running back discussions trying to figure out the Dalvin Cook injury news, Le'Veon Bell's opportunity, if Alvin Kamara is a cash play and what to do with some other cheap guys. It's a packed podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings.

James and Doug are back with their cash game article for week 14 of NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. Quarterback is looking pretty straightforward this week, with Lamar Jackson standing head and shoulders above the field in terms of both raw points and points per dollar projection. Gardner Minshew makes an interesting super cheap pivot on DraftKings, but Jackson is looking like the type of payoff you might not want to punt away from. Running back presents some fairly lackluster options, with Leonard Fournette leading the pack after he had huge opportunity even in a tough match-up with Tampa Bay. Right now DFSR is leaning toward Devonta Freeman after his huge opportunity last week, and Le'Veon Bell in a great spot against Miami. Wide receiver features some great mid-range value in DJ Moore, who's under-priced on a weekly basis, and Julian Edelman and his 10+ targets per game in the Patriots' struggling offense. Tyler Boyd rounds out the good value options, though AJ Green's potential return muddies the wa

The DFSR team is back for a game by game podcast for week 13 in the wild world of NFL DFS. There are interesting decisions to be made at every position this week, starting with quarterback. Do we go cheap with Carson Wentz against the Dolphins, or should we pay all the way up for Mahomes against the Raiders? This decision will impact the plays at every position, and it's a tough one. Running back poses similar questions, with Christian McCaffrey being at an all time high price but in an all-time great match-up with the Redskins. Then there are value options like Jonathan Williams, and even mid-range options like Leonard Fournette. It's possible we can play all three. Wide receiver has a few under-priced target hogs in DJ Moore and Davante Adams, but the third receiver slot is wide open.  Tight end this week is coming down to the new safest tight end in the game in Zach Ertz, or a possible hedge over to Jack Doyle now that Eric Ebron is out. No matter which direction you go, this should be a good one - jo

James and Doug are here to bring you a comprehensive breakdown of the Thanksgiving NFL slate on DraftKings and FanDuel! While the games themselves don't offer a lot of intrigue, there's a lot to think about for DFS purposes. The Bears/Lions game is probably the least relevant DFS game, but it's not one you can ignore. If Jeff Driskel's hamstring issue winds up being no big deal, he is certainly an interesting option if you can count on his ground game. Bo Scarbrough and Tarik Cohen might need to be on your list of playable options as well, with Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay garnering some consideration as well. The Cowboys and Bills game sees a few more interesting plays, with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott looking like likely Thanksgiving Day chalk. The plays don't stop there, though, since Michael Gallup and John Brown are in the sweet spot for wide receiver pricing this week. The Falcons/Saints game brings us a lot of plays as well. The Falcons' passing game was highly owned on a full slate last

Doug and James are back to break down every week in the NFL for week 12! With a lot of good quarterbacks off the main slate this week, the guys are settling in on a likely Russell Wilson play for their cash games. They also discuss some interesting big tournament options like Jameis against the Falcons, Brees against the Panthers, and Mayfield against the Dolphins. Speaking of the Browns, is this the week that we should be rostering multiple Browns in cash games? Doug breaks down their brutal schedule so far this season, and the guys discuss how comfortable they'd be to run each in cash games and big tournaments. As always, a big question this week will be whether it's reasonable to pay up for McCaffrey, or if you should settle for guys like Kamara, Chubb, and Carson instead. Wide receiver still features some too cheap options in Ridley, John Brown, and DJ Moore, though the rising price on each means paying up for guys like McCaffrey becomes more difficult. Over at tight end, there are a few interesting

The DFSR crew is here breaking down a big Week 11 in the NFL as they break down the main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings. There's a lot to talk about as the guy roll through the injury news, over/unders, spreads and of course cash vs. gpp plays on the slate. They talk about the different middle-tier options at wide receiver where there's a chance to buy a decent amount of targets without breaking the bank in guys like Sanu, Moore, Ridley, Brown and more. At running back they go through a number of different options and talk their viability in cash or big tournaments. It's all there on an hour-long deep dive into the Week 11 main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. www.dailyfantasysportsrankings.com/deals

The DFSR team is back with your NFL DFS cash game picks for FanDuel and DraftKings in week 11.  The head to head battle between Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson in Houston carries over to DFS this week, where these two rank as the best DFS quarterback plays as well. There's a case for Kyle Allen on DraftKings, but on FanDuel it's going to be tough to pivot. Running back also features two obvious high priced plays, with McCaffrey getting an all-world match-up with the Falcons and Dalvin Cook simply being under-priced for his 27+ touches a game. Fournette is looking cheap as well, though the touchdowns are an ongoing concern. So how do we pay up at QB and RB? Well, we take our savings at WR and TE. Wide receiver has a ton of great cheap options this week, with DJ Moore, Mohammed Sanu, Calvin Ridley, John Brown, and DeVante Parker all looking too cheap relative to their current situations. Tight end shares a similar spot, with Greg Olsen gobbling up 8 catches last week.  If you want access to the projections

Doug Norrie and his understudy James Davis are back to break down every single game on the mains late for NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings.  The guys are feeling the squeeze leading up to lineup lock this week, with a lot of similar plays at some key positions (big name wide receivers in particular) and a general feeling that there might just be very little chalk outside of potentially quarterback. Will people take Michael Thomas against the terrible Atlanta pass defense, or grab Davante Adams on the cheap against Carolina? After three straight Herculean efforts, are we finally ready to roll Mike Evans out there in cash game? And what about Julio Jones with Sanu out of town? It's not looking easy. Running back is looking just as tricky, with a lot of buzz being generated around hit or miss options like Devin Singletary or David Montgomery. Do we go with their potential upside, or a high floor but low ceiling option like Marlon Mack against the Dolphins? There is a lot to wade through. The guys discuss the

ames and Doug are back with their cash game selections for week 10 in the wild world of NFL DFS.  Last week the guys called out Russell Wilson as the clear cash game option, and this week they feel equally excited about Lamar Jackson in a great match-up with Cinci. While there are some interesting options for big tournaments like Jameis Winston or Kyler Murray, it's hard to imagine DFSR getting off Jackson for cash games. Running back brings a fairly straightforward set of options to the table, with Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley as high floor and high ceiling headliners. The DFSR guys also discuss Devin Singletary, who finally turned all his extra snaps into extra production as well.  Wide receiver has one chalk option in DJ Moore, but then some question marks about where to go from there. Do we grab Michael Thomas in the league's best match-up, or Julio Jones coming the other way? How about Davante Adams at a sub $8,000 price given that he saw double digit targets last week? There are a lot of di

The DFSR team is back to discuss every game on the main slate for FanDuel and DraftKings NFL DFS. It's a week where there are relatively few DFS relevant games going, but that doesn't mean it's a weak without upside and story lines to follow. Is it reasonable to grab both sides of a Miami/Jets game given that both teams aren't used to playing in close games? Could you see cash game ownership for not just Le'Veon Bell, but receivers like Devante Parker? That game is more interesting than you might think.  We have a wait and see situation in Kansas City with a potential Mahomes return, a tricky spot with Christ McCaffrey going up against an underrated Tennessee run defense, a potential Bills stack brewing against the Redskins, a mostly forgettable Eagles/Bears game, and a weird game in Pittsburgh where both Indy and the Steelers have injury questions that could swing the whole week DFS wise. The 4 o'clock games are where a lot of the action is, with high total contests in Oakland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. T

Doug and James are back, breaking down their cash game plays for week 9 in the wild world of NFL DFS. With just a 9 game main slate, the picks are all at once looking pretty straightforward and a little bit terrifying. Russell Wilson is jumping to the top of the DFSR optimal lineups this week on the back of a nice match-up against a Tampa Bay defense that dedicates itself to stopping the run. Aaron Rodgers is an interesting 1b option, with an absolutely incredible last two weeks of fantasy production.  Running back is looking fairly clear, with Jaylen Samuels likely filling in for James Conner, Dalvin Cook as the highest usage guy in a great match-up, and even a little Le'Veon Bell sprinkled in against this historically bad Dolphins defense. The guys get a little heated over wide receiver, where there are almost no safe plays to be seen. Can we trust cheaper options like Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, DJ Moore, and John Brown? James and Doug disagree, with great points being made on both sides. Tight end

The DFSR team is back with another game by game mega-pod for week 8 in the wild world of NFL DFS. With their cash game lineups looking relatively solid, the guys focus in on trying to find potential diamonds in the rough for big tournaments this week. Quarterback presents a number of potential options at different price tiers, with the potential to go up for the high upside running quarterbacks like Watson and Wilson or cheaper pass-only guys like Daniel Jones or Teddy Bridgewater. The guys aren't drinking the Kool-Aid on the cheaper options at this point.  There are a number of potential cheap running back plays, and Doug and James discuss where they would rank the potential punts of Ty Johnson, Chase Edmonds, and Latavius Murray. Is this a week to run stars and scrubs given McCaffrey's tough match-up, or do you split the middle with something like Fournette and Carson? There are a lot of potential directions the position can take this week. Wide receiver presents a lot of questions this week, with the si

James and Doug are back with their cash game plays for week 8! After moving their cash game record to 10-3-1 on the season, they are back to help you find some value in a deceptively tricky week. Quarterback looks pretty straightforward this week, with Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson rocketing to the top of the DFSR lineup optimizer. While it looks like there will be cash game ownership in cheaper players like Josh Allen or Teddy Bridgewater, it seems like those are unnecessary risks. Running back is where things get interesting. If Kamara sits, Latavius Murray is likely to be the highest owned play at the position. Fournette is coming off of 90%+ cash game ownership and is actually cheaper in a very reasonable match-up with the Jets. After that, it's a little dicier. Is McCaffrey too expensive in what amounts to the league's toughest match-up? Where does Ty Johnson rank compared to other punts this season? The guys break it all down. Wide receiver features some obvious cheap plays (like Tyler Boyd and J
