Happy Tuesday, all. Last night’s DFS two game slate between the Titans and Bills and the Vikings and Eagles worked out pretty decently for me. As noted, the big decision was determining which chalk to fade and which chalk to eat. DFS Two Game Slate Ownership Breakdown On a DFS two game slate, or any slate for that matter, knowing ownership helps with decision making. Below is where ownership went last night in multi-entry GPP tournaments. Stefon Diggs – 64% Justin Jefferson – 59% Miles Sanders – 53% Bills – 50% Josh Allen – 50% AJ Brown – 48% Dal…

Hey all and welcome to a unique Monday Night Football DFS slate where we have two games! A two game slate is a different animal that will come with some tough decisions for our lineups. Gone is the rule about fading chalk, welcome to the party for the rule about deciding which chalk to eat. The highest owned player tonight could easily be Josh Allen. Is that something we want to fade? Could be foolhardy, might give us an advantage on the field. Let’s get into it! QBs We only have four QBs to choose from, unless you’re a riverboat…
I hope you all enjoyed your NFL Week Two DFS slate. Some things I hit on, and some things I missed. Below is my review of Sunday afternoon’s action. The Good Amon-Ra St. Brown is a star in this league. His $6500 price tag might not be something we see again for some time. Saquon Barkley was indeed massive chalk in the NFL Week Two DFS slate. He was over 40% owned in GPP contests. If I had known that, he would have been a full fade for me. I ended up being around 15%, which did not sink me….other…
Welcome to Boris’ Week Two NFL Sunday DFS breakdown! A quick reminder that what lies below is for being competitive in GPP contests. I build over 60 lineups with the goal of getting one in contention to win. A Quick Rule for Week Two NFL Sunday DFS: Do. Not. Chase. Last. Week. Explanation of Said “Quick” Rule: Last week was last week, and it will never happen again. Deep down we all know this, but for some reason we do not practice it. In my seasonal leagues I see people trading for the likes of Devin Duvernay and cutting guys…
Welcome to my DFS Thursday Night Football showdown article between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs. As a reminder, you can check out my Showdown rules here. Whenever the Chiefs are on the Showdown Slate, things are little different. Patrick Mahomes has been in the winning lineup in Showdown Slates at an over 90% clip, so fading him is either a) foolhardy or b) will make you look like a genius if he somehow craps the bed. I’ll be using him in 100% of lineups just to make sure I clear the field on what is likely an…
Watching last night’s Broncos and Seahawks game, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the song “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who. To be more specific, there’s a line in the song that goes: “Meet the new boss / Same as the old boss.” If you were to be hired in a new role, would you do the same things as the previous guy that ultimately got him fired? Well, new Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett decided to do some of the same things that Vic Fangio had been doing in his tenure as Broncos HC. Just. Give. Javonte Williams.…
Welcome to my DFS MNF showdown between the Broncos and Seahawks. The NFL rewards us by capping off Week One with Russ’ return to Seattle. If you haven’t caught my Week One Autopsy yet, give it a look. I dissect my own advice to keep myself accountable. Right now though, it’s all about the Broncos and Seahawks, so let’s get into it! Game Overview – Broncos v Seahawks Denver Broncos – 7 O/U: 43.5 Money Line: Denver Broncos -320 Broncos Key Players Out or Injured: LB Josey Jewell is OUT OLB Randy Gregory is coming off shoulder surgery but he…
Thank you all for reading my work in the first week of the NFL season. In this article I will conduct my NFL Week One DFS Autopsy. I’ll break down what went right, what went alright, and what went horribly wrong. The Good Patrick Mahomes was my most heavily owned QB, and he did not disappoint. He was the highest scoring QB on the NFL Week One DFS slate, and the GPP optimal lineup QB. Devante Adams does indeed look like he will be worth the price of admission, especially in trailing game scripts. He was the 2nd highest scoring…
Welcome to the first NFL Sunday DFS slate of the season! I’ve been waiting for this day for some time. There is a lot to digest down below; as a reminder I play 60 lineups, so I’ll be mixing and matching a lot of the players below. My lone goal is to find one lineup that is capable of finishing first. Also, things will change between now and Sunday morning, I will post any updates in the comment section. NFL Sunday Chalk Report So one thing I aim to start doing this year in my NFL Sunday DFS contests is…
One of my biggest complaints about fantasy analysts, and while we are at it most people, is a lack of accountability. Bill and Rams aside, most fantasy analysts publish picks in articles, on websites, on YouTube, on TikTok, on Twitter, etc. but never review their work, at least for others to see. For anyone who is beginning to follow me on Gridiron, please know I am not one of those. Mediocrity is not something I aspire to do. Writing well and winning DFS contests is. If I want to get better, then I need to constantly address my process and…
