Just think, this week you could turn $1 into $1000 or $27 into $1 MILLION just by using your fantasy football knowledge over at Draft Kings!!
So here goes another edition of the Sunday DFS NFL Playbook here on Fantasy Alarm. For those of you who are new to the Playbook, for starters: WELCOME! Basically, the Playbook is a filtered down group of players from which to build your DFS NFL lineups this week. I have spent the week pouring over every matchup, injury concern and offensive tendency to come up with the absolute best possible players to choose from.
This week Alfred Blue is the key to almost every possible lineup. With Arian Foster out and the Texans traveling to Cleveland this mathchup couldn't be better for our boy Blue. Ryan Mallett is making his first career start while the Browns surrender 5.1 YPC to opposing RB's. Look for the Texans to keep the ball on the ground and Blue to put up solid numbers this week.
I've been asked about fading Blue since he will likely be supremely owned this week but I am not taking that bait. Sure if he gets hurt you will look like a genius, but that can be said about many players too. If you do fade Blue I would suggest a pivot to Theo Riddick, specifically on Draft Kings where it is a full point PPR and only do this in tournaments please.
Here is the Sunday edition of the DFS NFL Playbook for Week 11:
