DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 6

Although I wasn’t profitable last week, this article itself hit at a high clip, and we are seeing success with our process so far. Last week’s selections were highlighted by the stud performance from Rico Dowdle, and overall, we hit at a 71% clip (20/28) from this article last week, which is higher than our average 65% hit rate, in effect raising that overall average a bit. Getting C.J. Stroud right was big because it feels like I’m starting to get into a rhythm with my QB selection now, too (although not perfect with Herbert falling flat on a 14-point outing after starting off strong last week). We’re still perfect on article cover players on the year, going 5/5 for what that’s worth. We’re humming right now, given our hit rate, and I’m feeling a big win is close here. Considering how the slate is set up with seven games early and just three in the afternoon, I’m likely only playing the main slate and will potentially have some game-time decision 4 PM lineups in mind to protect my main slate lineups this week. 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 6!
