Every week presents a new set of challenges in daily fantasy football. Injuries, matchups and weather are just a few of the factors that we have to consider as we build our lineups. Luckily for you, I have spent the entire week consolidating this information down to what you see below.
These are the optimal DFS NFL Lineups for the two major DFS sites and the two main contest formats. I strongly suggest starting out with 50/50's (double ups) until you are winning a high percentage of those contests. Then and only then it is time to move on to the larger tournaments (GPPs).
Here are my Optimal DFS Lineups for Week 11:
