Lineup Strategy:
Key strategies for NFL DFS include:
- Correlation: Stack players from the same team (e.g., QB and WR) to maximize scoring potential when a passing game thrives.
- Game Stacking: Stack players from both sides of a high-scoring game. If the game turns into a shootout, several of your players can rack up points simultaneously.
- Value Plays: Identify underpriced players who have the potential to outperform their salaries, allowing you to pay up for star players.
- Matchups: Target favorable matchups, such as RBs against weak run defenses or QBs against injury-riddled secondaries.
NFL DFS requires a balance of research, strategy, and game theory. Understanding team dynamics, injuries, and game scripts helps build a competitive lineup capable of succeeding in the various contest types.
NFLÂ DFS LINEUP
You can find the new and improved lineups here:Â NFL LINEUPSÂ We are very proud to bring you tons of great info and lineups each week!
REMEMBER: These are lineups we use but feel free to pick and choose plays and make your own lineups. Don’t ALWAYS follow these as they don’t hit 100% of the time. We do use these but sometimes late scratches happen and it’s too late to update the lineup. Good luck and bring home the bacon.
