First Look At Waivers For Week 3

Armando Marsal takes an early look at waivers, pointing out his favorite players to target at each position, including a FAAB recommendation. Happy Monday Fantasy Guru fam! Hopefully, you survived the first week of the season and if you are in a nail biter on Monday night, well, may the force be with you! If you have not already done so, I strongly encourage you read Jeff Mans’ Week 1 Recap. This is my go-to every Monday morning, loaded with so much valuable information. Week 1 had some notable players go down with injuries, but the good news is that for the most part, none of the injuries appears to be season-ending. That said, some players could miss some time, which means that some players could see more opportunities in the upcoming weeks and roles could increase. We still have one game left on the Week 1 schedule, but there was plenty to take in this weekend. As I will be doing every Monday this season, I want to take an early look at the waivers, pointing out some players that stood out, those that I am prioritizing off waivers this week, as well as others that should be on your radar. Let’s dive right into it.

Jeff Mans NFL Recap – Week 2

Jeff Mans’ pages of notes from the day of football along with key takeaways from Armando Marsal and Ted Schuster! As many of you already know, I don’t 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 don’t 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 “Ted’s Takeaways” each week. If you have ANY questions about any game, team, player or situation don’t 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.

Jeff Mans DFS NFL Cash Game Breakdown – Week 2

Jeff Mans breaks down everything you need to know to build safe, high-floor lineups for your cash games. One down, seventeen more to go. Week one was a smashing success as we were able to propel our seasonal fantasy football research into quality DFS analysis. Specifically, paying up for the wide receivers proved to be the winning mechanism in the first week of this new season. In fact, for the first time in NFL history (back to 1980, anyway), the first four wide receivers taken in ADP finished as the top four points scorers in week one. But as great as Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams and Ja’Marr Chase did last week, it was the values of Michael Pittman, Tyreek Hill, Christian Kirk and Jarvis Landry that were the real difference makers. If your lineup didn’t finish above the cash line last week, please do not freak out. The early weeks are always full of chaos, and merely surviving is our ultimate goal. I strongly advise you to take a look back at your contests and compare your lineup(s) to those that did indeed finish in the money. This is a quick and easy way of identifying where you may have gone wrong. I also highly recommend you read Patio Joe’s Cash Game Lineup Review article, where he breaks down how he built his lineup around the Core 4 this week. Here is another reminder of all our great DFS NFL content for the week…

In the long run, you’ll come out on top. Let’s take a look at the team defenses that make this week’s “wish list.” Here’s a list of the “boxes” you’re looking to “check off”.

NFL GPP Breakdown: Week 2

The Seige breaks down Week 2 for your GPP needs!! Seige’s GPP Breakdown What’s going on everyone! Welcome back to another year of NFL DFS! For those of you returning this article is going to be a blend of my Seige’s Takes column from past years and the typical GPP write up. As always looking for feedback about what you like and don’t like about the article so be sure to let me know and this will adapt as the year goes forward to match what you are looking for. For each position group, I’ll go through the chalk options on DK and a generic breakdown of the top options and then I’ll share where I’m at in my 150-max script of the FD Sunday Million and the reasons why I’m taking stands where I am and why I’m fading certain guys. Disclaimer/Common Sense: These are my percentages as of Thursday Night/Friday Morning (most weeks this will be Saturday %’s) obviously a lot can happen between now and lock and I will be modifying these percentages/plays all the way up til lock. So, don’t take this as gospel for where I exactly end up but more of a guide.

College Football Breakdown: DraftKings (Main)

bearded1inkedup breaks down the Saturday NCAA Football slate!! Playing football DFS isn’t 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 college football, 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. We have an odd year right now with many conferences not playing, so schedules are very messy compared to the norm. 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. Let’s look at this week’s plays…
