The Fantasy Alarm Assistant G.M. service offers you more than just great season long content. We also supply the tools, advice and even actual lineups to make you a winner playing weekly fantasy football. Join us over at DraftKings in order to take all of this knowledge that you now possess and play with and against us while winning BIG MONEY.
The DFS NFL Playbook is hitting its stride as we go into week five. Not that we haven't been on the money through the first quarter of the season (see Larry Donnell & Matt Asiata last week) but we now have the power of advanced statistical breakdown to help us in our lineup building process. Granted you could use these tools for yourself and spend a few hours sifting through players until you settle on the cream of the crop. But as Tommy Boy would say, "You could get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a bulls ass too...but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it."
Using the DFS Playbook this week could make you a millionaire courtesy of DraftKings. That is right, the first DraftKings Millionaire Maker tournament is this weekend and if I don't win I want it to be somebody from Fantasy Alarm Nation that takes down that cash. We just confirmed this week that Fantasy Alarm's DFS Playbook users have won $1.045 million to date. That is just an amazing feeling that those of you that are using our lineups, tools and data are not just playing but winning at an incredible rate. Let's double that number in one fell swoop this weekend, ok?
