Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for the NFL Week 1 Monday Night slate.
It looks like both main DFS sites have opted to skip the Thursday game given the two-game Monday night slate. Not that anyone minds as there’s nothing worse than having to wait three days for a contest to finish up. So let’s get to it.
Remember, when we play a two-game slate we stick to GPP tournaments only and if you are new to playing small slates, you want to make sure you stay with single-entry contests. Multi-entry contests are filled with max lineups players and you are at a significant disadvantage. It’s as big of a longshot as playing a lottery scratcher from your local grocery store.
Also, remember you need to find ways to differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack. You aren’t going to win a tournament playing the chalk and if you do, you’re splitting it with a ton of people. Don’t worry about leaving money on the table. It’s more important to have a low-owned guy or two who have a legitimate chance at being productive.
Be sure to check in with the Game Previews from Ryan Hallam as he does a great job of breaking down the games, the players and potential game flow.
Here are a couple of GPP examples to compare to your own – they are NOT meant for you to just take as your own. They are a tool to use as a sounding board for your decisions.
