By now you should know about the one week fantasy football contests we play over at DraftKings. If you haven’t heard or haven’t started playing weekly fantasy football yet then I have the perfect contest to get you started. Since there are two games on Monday night this week Draft Kings are doing Monday Night Only contests. As I always say with these small slates of games, these are the perfect time to take big risks and play for qualifier tickets.
All we do here at the DFS Playbook is sort through copious amounts of stats in order to filter out the absolute best of the best players for your DFS lineups in a given week. As you could imagine, this takes a ton of time to go through all of the stats in order to uncover the cream of the crop matchups.
This week the DFS Playbook loves the upside of Odell Beckham Jr as well as the consistency of Marshawn Lynch against the Eagles soft defense. There are a bunch of injury situations that still are up in the air as of this writing and could result in new players being added to the Playbook pool. These players include the likes of Andre Williams, Terrance West and Virgil Green depending on gametime inactives. So, as always I strongly suggest you hitting me up via Twitter (@Jeff_Mans) or on the Sunday Gameday Chat for all the last minutes lineups additions & subtractions.
