It's time to start shaking things up on the small slate. We've had success on the main slate each and every week, but the short slate game has been lacking. I've had conversations with a number of DFS players who love, and consistently cash, playing the NFL Monday-Thursday slate. I've taken bits of each conversation and incorporated them into my strategy, coupled that with my own analysis of the games and here's where we are. Feel like I may be swinging for the fences here, but remember, I don't believe in short-slate cash games, so these are for tournament play.
Best of luck to you in your contests.
