A lot has changed since Thursday. I was very high on Kelvin Benjamin against the Saints this past Thursday and both he and Cam Newton completely ruind that idea. Luckily Mark Ingram's 100 yards rushing and 2 TD's salvaged what could have been a real bad start to week nine in DFS. But now we have an excellent opportunity to capitalize on a short slate of NFL games and make some significant money.
This week I am playing for blood. With six teams off there is definitely a lack of high end talent to select from which is perfect for me. The most important thing to do is identify which low priced players are going to make the most impact this week and then fill in the rest with absolute sure things. This is a much easier process now that we know that Giovani Bernard and Doug Martin are out while Reggie Wayne and A.J. Green are likely in.
If I have done my homework correctly, and I almost always do, week nine could very well be the biggest week yet for the DFS NFL Playbook.
Here is the DFS NFL Playbook for Week 9:
