Welcome to the DFS NFL Cash Game Breakdown, where Jeff Mans breaks down everything you need to know to build safe, high-floor lineups for your cash games.
“I’ve been deliberating all offseason on whether to do a full-on rebuild of this Cash Game Breakdown in 2025. This is my 15th season doing an NFL DFS write-up and the 10th year doing this specific Cash Game Breakdown. A rebrand probably would be a good idea, but as you will see, I did not go in that direction. After much soul searching this offseason, the thing that kept coming back to me is that we are the last true handwritten, home-grown and non-AI-assisted DFS article left, perhaps in the world, but definitely in the mainstream fantasy football space. The goal for every single one of us this season, and every season, needs to be to get better. So, this year, you will see some differences. I’ve streamlined the SMASH Reports for both offensive lines and coverages. The player writeups will be shorter and more to the point, so as not to create confusion that happens from time to time. I’ve created a few more data points that you’ll see brought out, such as “SVR” and “YBT,” which stand for separation vs. route and yards before touched…”
