NFL Week 17 is here and we get another opportunity to build some winning DFS lineups and win back all that money we shelled out for the holidays. Not that it isn't better to give than to receive, but a little replenishment can't hurt.

The end of the NFL season has been a lucrative one for us and we're looking to finish strong with just two weeks left of the regular season. Last week we nailed it, once again, from players like Baker Mayfield to De'Von Achane to Brian Thomas to Chig Okonkwo. I didn't score the full Playbook last week with the holidays, but I know all my lineups cashed and while I didn't break the bank with any GPP wins, turning a profit was the achievable goal. We had a few whiffs which is to be expected, especially when building some funky GPP tournament lineups, but overall, it was another great week for the #FAmily.

This week is certainly going to be an interesting one because of the smaller-than-usual slate. If you're playing on DraftKings, it's just an eight-game slate. If you're on FanDuel, you get the Washington Commanders vs/ Atlanta Falcons as well for a ninth game, but with sever weather issues, are we really benefitting? We'll have to see. But something to remember – we're going to see a lot of chalk being played this week. With limited directions to go, we're going to see a ton of overlap, so expect pay-lines to be the way they were three weeks ago. We'll identify the chalk in the player write-ups and see if we can't zig when the rest of the world zags for a bigger GPP payout. Let's get to it.
