DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 12

Last week was a losing week for me, as we were way below our season average of 65%, only going 12/31 on DFS plays, just a 38% hit rate. With that being said, it wasn’t all bad in the sense that the guys this article did hit on hit big, including our article cover player in WR Michael Wilson, who was WR1 on the week, scoring 36.5 fantasy points at just $3,800. That puts our article cover players’ hit rate at a solid 8/11 (73%). This week, we’ve got another 11-game slate with seven games via the early window and four games in the afternoon. I’m eyeing down a very similar approach to last week, with 4-5 main slate lineups this week at full units, with another 1.5U on the afternoon-only slate. The goal of this article is to provide some insight and transparency into my DFS & betting process and approach leading up to an NFL slate, along with picks and plays that I’ve landed on for this week in result. Generally, my goal for the season is to provide DFS plays that hit at a 65-70% clip, and we are just about doing that. Any given week, the approach and strategy may adjust, depending on what the slate looks like and how I want to attack it. Let’s dive into preparation for this week and see how we are attacking Week 12!
