Jeff Mans’ DFS NFL Cash Game Breakdown – Week 2
Welcome to the DFS NFL Cash Game Breakdown, where Jeff Mans breaks down everything you need to know to build safe, high-floor lineups for your cash games. “There was no way that I would not have both Drake London and Nico Collins in my cash game lineup last week. While neither receiver came close to hitting expectations, it was ultimately the decision to pay all the way up to Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase that doomed my cash game lineup last week. I also used Travis Hunter for $600 more than the uber chalk in Emeka Egbuka, which certainly was another nail in the coffin. So what did we learn from week one in DFS? Well…” You need a subscription to access this content.

DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 2
And just like that, the NFL season is underway! We had some nice calls last week while getting surprised in other places, as how Week 1 typically goes. Week 2 is always a fun week to prep for in the NFL DFS season because we can take advantage of the field’s recency biases. 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 as a 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 2! You need a subscription to access this content.

Rose’s Royalty: NFL GPP Breakdown, Week 2
Week 1 of the NFL is in the books, and now the real work begins. We finally have actual data to go off of and no more relying on preseason clips or training camp reports. We’ve seen how teams look on the field, how rookies handled the speed, and which schemes are clicking (or falling flat). That changes everything heading into Week 2. In this article, I’ll break down the matchups that matter in fantasy football, point out the DFS value plays that stand out, and highlight a few players who could tilt the slate. No hype, just the info you need to make sharp decisions heading into Sunday. Let’s get into it. Week 2 is here… You need a subscription to access this content.

CFB DFS Breakdown: Saturday Late Slate – 9/13 (DK)
Chris Rose gets us ready for the CFB DFS Week 3 Saturday Late Slate with his DraftKings Breakdown! 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 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.

2025 Start/Sit Breakdown: Week 2
Welcome to the 2025 version of the Start/Sit Breakdown. This article focuses on the questions you, our subscribers, ask most frequently each week, including our start-sit decisions. I will maintain, though, that there is far too much focus on who to start and not enough emphasis on roster construction. After 30 years of playing this game, I’ve found that worrying less about start and sit decisions and more about proper roster construction has led to more success. We spend each week racking our brains over who to use in the flex spot, as three or four players share a similar outlook. I’d rather load my bench with players who have a potential path to high-volume workloads. That means some weeks, my bench is loaded with players scoring little to no points. I’m okay with that, because having a bench full of mid-level scoring doesn’t help my starting lineup and makes setting lineups a chore… Rich Maletto breaks down all of the toughest start/sit Fantasy Football questions of NFL Week 2!
