Snap Counts & Usage From Week 1
Armando Marsal takes a look at notable trends in snap counts and usage from last week. Like I do every year, I will dive into offensive snap counts after each week. This article will focus on identifying changes, trends, and things we should be taking note of for players and their opportunities. Snap counts are a part of my weekly analysis because they gauge how often a player is on the field, which could translate into potential opportunity to produce fantasy points. Even though playing time does not always translate into fantasy points, the path to scoring fantasy points is easier for those players on the field. Looking at snap counts and comparing them to volume/touches also gives us a clear picture of a player’s role in their offense. Some positions, such as quarterbacks, are straight forward, but others not so much. I will focus primarily on situations that we need to be keeping a close eye on and situations that stand out to me. At the end of the article I will include a spreadsheet with all the weekly snap counts for all teams, along with the YTD snap counts.

Conversely, if you have a rough draft and injuries are already mounting, it’s an opportunity to gain an edge on your opponent. This article aims to find some options for weekly streaming plays if you need them. The percentages listed are the overall ownership of the player.

2025 NFL DFS Contest Selection: Week 2
Fantasy Guru! I’m 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 sites’ single-entry contests. Generally, FanDuel seems to feature more single-entry contests with better payouts. I also don’t mind contests with 3-5 entry max. Once we have found the single entry or 3-5 entry max contests, it’s all about finding a payout that is greater than 20%, preferably 25% or greater.

Buy…Sell…Cut: Fantasy Football Roster Management
Window shopping is always beneficial. While we always preach patience this time of year, since the overactions come in fast and furious the first few weeks, it does pay to at least look around at potential additions. This piece will highlight players to target in trades, or even potential WW adds, as well as players who I think it’s reasonable to move on from, preferably via trade, as the player still has value, and then, of course, there are some cut-worthy players. Our most difficult decisions often stem from who we choose to walk away from regarding our rosters… Rich Maletto strategizes the Week 2 adds, holds and cuts for your fantasy football rosters!

Jeff Mans’ DFS NFL Cash Game Breakdown – Week 1
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. “I’ve been deliberating all offseason on whether to do a full-on rebuild of this Cash Game Breakdown in 2025. This is my 15th season doing an NFL DFS write-up and the 10th year doing this specific Cash Game Breakdown. A rebrand probably would be a good idea, but as you will see, I did not go in that direction. After much soul searching this offseason, the thing that kept coming back to me is that we are the last true handwritten, home-grown and non-AI-assisted DFS article left, perhaps in the world, but definitely in the mainstream fantasy football space. The goal for every single one of us this season, and every season, needs to be to get better. So, this year, you will see some differences. I’ve streamlined the SMASH Reports for both offensive lines and coverages. The player writeups will be shorter and more to the point, so as not to create confusion that happens from time to time. I’ve created a few more data points that you’ll see brought out, such as “SVR” and “YBT,” which stand for separation vs. route and yards before touched…” You need a subscription to access this content.
