DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 4

Week 3 started off incredibly promising, but a lot of my builds were quickly blown up after the Lamb injury to start the 4 PM games last week. Outside of Lamb, this article is hitting WRs at a very high clip, but underperforming on my picks at QB so far. We’ve been able to identify the correct premium TEs, but haven’t been hitting on the value plays quite yet either. It’s important to make sure we are investing in the spots we are performing well in, so in result, I will still be playing on both sites this week, but I will be heavier on FanDuel vs. DraftKings this week. I’m doing this because I’m more willing to pay up at QB & TE on FanDuel on a week-to-week basis (and I consider paying up for TE anything $5500+ FD/$4000+ DK). So far this year, we’re 3/3 on our cover article players. Last week, I was 14/22 on players listed, so hitting at a 63% clip on plays, very similar to how the first few weeks were, too. It was also a profitable couple of Monday night and Thursday night Showdown slates for me, so it feels like we’re heating up here going into Sunday. 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. 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 4!
