In this episode, Daily Fantasy players Charles Sears, Gerson Augirre, and I breakdown DFS and Week 1 of the NFL DraftKings slate.
First, we talk about our early DFS experiences. We agree that the projections are huge to DFS success. We also discuss the easiest and hardest sports to play DFS.
The conversation switches to GPP and cash-game tournaments. we explain the difference in roster construction between both contests. For GPPs, most users like using values while cash-game players want safe floors. Gerson says that defenses are the most overrated position in DFS lineups.
We switch to the opening week of NFL games on DraftKings. We immediately notice the expensive prices of the Kansas City Chiefs trio of Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce. Using all three guys will leave players without much money to create a balanced lineup.
We end this episode by talking about our favorite chalk players, values, and avoids for the opening week on DK.
