DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 13

This article posted a strong week last week, going 21/30 and hitting at a 70% clip, solidifying our season average directly in the range expected, 67%. Our cover player hit big last week again, now converting 9/12 on the year (75%). After a Thanksgiving slate and Black Friday Showdown, this week’s slate is a bit smaller with just 10 games – seven in the early window and just three games in the afternoon. 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 13!

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Sunday’s Strike Zone

If you have followed me in the past, you know I identify the best plays of the day for DFS, seasonal, and now strikeout props based on who is working home plate that day. The article will be a little different this year, as Swish Analytics no longer provides the stats I once used. Instead, I am focusing on home plate umpire tendencies, current strikeout props, and team strikeout rates against right-handed and left-handed pitching to identify the best opportunities available. We will highlight pitchers worth targeting in seasonal fantasy baseball formats, point out strong DFS plays, and identify strikeout props that may present value.
