NFL DFS Example Lineups: Thanksgiving Day
Published: Nov 25, 2021
Welcome to the NFL DFS Example Lineups for Thanksgiving Day!
If you're visiting us during our one-day Free-view, welcome. What we try to do here is catch you up on the latest news and potential changes so that the lineups we help you build give you the best possible chance of winning, whether it's just hitting that cash line or taking down a GPP tournament.
An important thing to keep in mind for today is that, because it is a three-game slate throughout the day, I stick to GPP tournaments only. There is far too much overlap of players in cash games which raises the pay-lines and makes it tougher to cash. Today should be about having a little skin in the game and having some fun. These short-slate contests can get weird as many people who build lineups try to find that random dart that no one else has and if that player does hit, well, then there's a distinct advantage to the lower ownership. But as with any dart throw, there is tremendous risk that he could also be a bust. This is why I don't recommend playing too heavily with your bankroll and try to have some fun.
A couple of things before we get to the examples…
- Read the Playbook – I've made updates throughout the night. I've taken players out and I've added some too. This is going to be important as I try to whittle down the player pool for you and offer you the better side of usable lineups parts.
- Listen to the NFL DFS Podcast – Jon Impemba and I sat down last night, gave you our thoughts on players and potential lineup construction. It's a fairly quick listen and we even share some lineups with you at the end.
- Read all the content – All the coaching articles are free. All the match-up reports, game previews, etc. are all free today so be sure to take a tour and check out who everyone from the team is on today.
Go through all of that, keep up with all the latest news and then start building your lineups. We put you on the right path, but ultimately these decisions are yours. These lineups below are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.
Best of luck to you, have some fun, enjoy the games and hopefully we win some money.
