Welcome to the NFL Week 7 DFS Dart Board!

Quite the intriguing main slate, isn't it? With six teams on a bye and teams like the Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers playing in prime-time, the number of high-priced, elite-level players is limited and it's going to be up to you to find ways to secure Patrick Mahomes, Cooper Kupp, Travis Kelce and even Kenneth Walker into your lineups. To do that, you not only have to throw a few darts, but you have to find the ones the DFS lineup optimizers aren't spitting out to your competition. The DFS Playbook has a few really strong pay-downs, but sometimes you need to really dig deep and find those plays so dirty, you're going to need a shower after setting your GPP tournament lineups. Nothing wrong with it, just warning you.

 

 

If you're new to Fantasy Alarm, the DFS Dart Board is an add-on to the Playbook that I started several years ago. It came about when I was building GPP lineups and realized I needed more salary relief. As I dug through my notes to see who stood out the most among those players at a more affordable price, it hit me. When I put players in the Playbook, I am thinking primarily about cash lineup plays -- guys with a high floor who I could conceivably put into my core-group and build a lineup around. After those players, I would mix in a handful of guys who had boatloads of upside and were in soft match-ups, but I wasn’t paying as much attention to their salary as I should have. And that's where the Dart Board came into play.

Occasionally you may see a min-priced QB or TE in here, but more often than not, this space is reserved for running backs and wide receivers who are below $6,000 on FanDuel or $5,000 or lower on DraftKings. Also, while we call this a Dart Board, keep in mind that every player has been carefully researched. We're not up here picking players all willy-nilly, desperately hoping they hit. We're looking for the cheapest bargains possible who still have the strongest potential to give you at least a 3-5x return on what you pay.

All set? Great. Let's get to it and while you do, maybe give a listen to this week's NFL DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba.
