DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 7

Last week was another strong week, going 17/24 on picks mentioned in this article, hitting at a 68% clip, which is right at where our season average is. I haven’t had any big wins so far this regular season, but the numbers and hit rate say those wins are coming, so keep that in mind if you are in the same boat. We’re still perfect on cover player articles on the year, going 6/6 for what that’s worth. This week, we’ve got a 10-game slate with six games via the early window and four games in the afternoon. You could split your plays on the early window vs. late, and generally, I like this approach, but I’m pretty locked in on a set of players this week and will likely just be doing one lineup on each site. 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 7!
