Jeff Mans DFS NFL Cash Game Breakdown – Week 2
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. “There was an interesting development in our first week of the new season. It came to my attention that the paylines for single entry 50/50’s on FanDuel were much, much lower for those who entered their contests on Friday as opposed to those of us who entered on Saturday. There was over a 10-point difference, which is substantial and very, very rare. I will continue to monitor this as there is no logical reason for this to have been the case, so I am hoping it was just a weird one-off. Remember our mantra here at Fantasy Guru. We get better every day. We NEVER lose. We get smarter. We get stronger. We get more experience. We. Get. Better. To me, the season is starting now. By the looks of the quality of play across the NFL, I feel like many teams and players are feeling the same exact way…”

2026 NFL DFS Contest Selection: Week 6
What’s up, Mafia! I’m back for another season of NFL DFS. Every week during the season, I will highlight the featured contests with the best payouts on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The contests I like to target the most are the single-entry contests offered by both sites. Generally, FanDuel seems to have more single-entry contests with better payouts, but I also don’t mind playing contests with a 3-5 entry max. Once we narrow down the best single-entry or 3-5 entry max contests, it’s all about finding the right payout structure. I’m looking for contests where more than 20% of the field gets paid, with 25% or higher being the preferred target… Every week during the season, I am going to highlight the featured contests with the best payouts on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
