Welcome to the NFL Week 15 DFS Playbook for the Sunday main slate. It's already been quite the start to the week with a mind-numbing performance by the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday and a three-game Saturday slate underway, but we are ready and focused to tear up this 10-game Sunday main slate. There are a ton of great match-ups for us to look at with the Los Angeles Rams taking on a beleaguered Washington Commanders defense, a Dallas Cowboys/Buffalo Bills game that could have some weather issues but still maintains the second-highest game total on the slate and of course, the San Francisco 49ers in an apparent smash-spot against the Arizona Cardinals. On top of that, we are waiting on NFL injury news regarding Tyreek Hill, Chris Olave and DJ Moore, among others Yeah, that's right, we have our hands full as we look to build some winning DFS lineups. We'll deal with the actual lineups soon enough, but for now, let's whittle down the player pool and see who we like best for both DFS cash games and GPP tournaments.
Let's take a few moments to first welcome any and all new subscribers. Before we dive right into the plays, for those who may be new to the Fantasy Alarm #FAmily, here is a rundown of the NFL DFS content you should be studying while creating your winning DFS lineups. Let's start with our NFL tools. We continue to crunch the numbers and tweak our algorithms so that our daily fantasy football projections are the best in the industry and that, in turn, has improved things like our Lineup Generator/DFS Optimizer, our DFS Compare tool and even our NFL DFS Ownership Projections. Again, all right here on one site for your convenience.
Again, if you are new to the #FAmily, welcome! All the aforementioned tools are, obviously, at your disposal as well, but please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush your DFS contests each week. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team.
QB Coach – Jon Impemba (@jimpemba777)
RB Coach -- Justin Vreeland (@JustinVreeland)
WR Coach -- Colby Conway (@colbyrconway)
TE Coach -- Andrew Cooper (@CoopAFiasco)
D/ST Coach -- Dan Malin (@RealDANlanta)
In addition to the positional coaching pieces, you also have things like the DFS Watch List, where I provide you with a list of players I am looking at throughout the week. We have the NFL DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba, which you can click below and watch as we talk through each position, our favorite plays and even build a lineup on DraftKings. Impemba also does the Value Plays & Contrarian Corner videos so be sure to check that out as well. Also, don't miss out on the complete NFL Weekly Match-Up Report from Britt Flinn (@britt_flinn) and the all-important WR/CB Match-Up Report from JB Barry (@FantasyCoachJB).
If you haven't started bookmarking everything, do yourself a favor and do it now. Yes, that's a lot of content and sure, it can be overwhelming, but these pieces come out throughout the week, so if you're seeing all of this for the first time, just know that it all starts trickling out on Tuesday so you can attack the info steadily rather than get slammed all at once. I would suggest that you go through the NFL DFS Menu and start bookmarking a lot of these pieces for ease of use in the future.
Once you've got all of that under your belt, it's time to look at the Playbook. It usually arrives in the early afternoon on Saturdays which gives you ample time to read through everything, make your notes and begin working on your lineups. On Sunday morning, we will provide you with Example Lineups for both cash games and GPP tournaments on DraftKings and FanDuel, so you have something to compare your own to before finalizing.
Pretty sure that sums up the basics, and as you should know, if you have any questions, we are all available via the Fantasy Alarm Discord Chat, social media and even email, so please do not ever hesitate to ask for help. That's what we are here for.
If you are ready, let's now dive into the Week 15 NFL DFS Playbook!
Don't forget to listen/watch the NFL Week 15 DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba while you build your lineups!
