Armando Marsalâs NFL Recap â Week 5
Armandoâs pages of notes from the day of football, along with key takeaways from this week in the NFL! As many of you already know, I donât miss anything when it comes to the NFL or fantasy football. This is mostly because I watch every single snap of every single game every single week. I have hard drives full of every game that I go back and reference whenever there is something in question. I donât do all of this for my health, quite the contrary. I do this for all of you. So that when you spend your time and/or money with us here at Fantasy Guru, you will always be in the know. So, every week once the dust settles, I will take my pages of notes from the day of football and put them into proper seasonal and daily fantasy context right here. For this season, I have brough along some help as Armando Marsal will be covering the injuries for us while Ted Schuster takes a break from his smoke break to provide us a few âTedâs Takeawaysâ each week. If you have ANY questions about any game, team, player or situation donât ever be afraid to reach out and ask.  This recap covers all my advice here at Fantasy Guru including seasonal, DFS and sports betting analysis.

Roseâs Royalty: NFL GPP Breakdown, Week 5
Week 5 is here, and by now the season has settled in enough that weâre working with a real sample size. The preseason noise is gone, the early hype has either fizzled or stuck, and we have a much clearer idea of which offenses actually function and which ones are still stuck in neutral. Thatâs the kind of information that changes how you approach lineups this week. This is where the edge comes in. The first few weeks always push people into overreacting, jumping heavy on a guy after one big game, or bailing too fast when someone starts slow. If you can separate whatâs real from whatâs just noise, youâre already a step ahead of the field. The key for Week 5 is staying balanced. Donât chase every breakout, but donât fade players just because of a single dud either. Roles are firming up, prices are adjusting, and context matters more than just the box score⊠In this breakdown, Iâll walk through the fantasy football matchups worth targeting, the DFS value plays that open salary, and the guys with the kind of upside that can flip a slate.

DFS Marlinâs Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 5
Week 4 was a big week! We had some serious calls at single-digit ownership, headlined by Mahomes and Judkins. We hit on several players in the 10-20% range, including Warren, Jeanty, Flowers, and Worthy. We landed on the right chalk to incorporate as well with Hampton. Overall, this article last week went 14/21, hitting at a 67% clip and showing a consistent success rate on the year at about 65%. Weâre also 4/4 on the articleâs cover players this year, for what thatâs worth. The only blemish last week was Lamar, but that was a big one since we were rolling him out as QB1. Overall, a very profitable week, but just missed knocking down a massive win. With that in mind, normally when you hit a spot in the season where youâre close to knocking down a tournament, youâre likely firing on all cylinders with your picks, and itâs a good time to ramp up your spend. I plan on going the heaviest so far this season for the Week 5 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 Iâve 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. Letâs dive into preparation for this week and see how we are attacking Week 5! You need a subscription to access this content.

CFB DFS Breakdown: Saturday Night Slate (DraftKings) â 10/4
Chris Rose gets us ready for the CFB DFS Week 6 Saturday Late Slate with his DraftKings Breakdown! Playing football DFS isnât limited to the pro game, and with so many games on the college side of things, knowing who and how to approach the game is that much more important. With CFB DFS, we want to focus on the fastest-paced games. The majority of the time you will want to eat some chalk in CFB, which I will notate every week. I will be providing my core four here, which will be Cash- and GPP-viable plays. Generally, we will be focusing on game totals at or over 57.5 implied total points. Ideally, for game stacks, we want a fast-paced, competitive game with a high total. There will be plays with lower game totals simply due to pricing, usage (targets, catches, etc.), overall slate builds, and so forth. Letâs look at this weekâs plays⊠You need a subscription to access this content.

2025 NFL DFS Contest Selection: Week 5
Fantasy Guru! Iâm back for another season of NFL DFS. Every week during the season, I will highlight the featured contests with the best payouts on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The kind of contests that are best to enter are both sitesâ single-entry contests. Generally, FanDuel seems to feature more single-entry contests with better payouts. I also donât mind contests with 3-5 entry max. Once we have found the single entry or 3-5 entry max contests, itâs all about finding a payout that is greater than 20%, preferably 25% or greater. Every week during the season, I am going to highlight the featured contests with the best payouts on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
