How's that NFL Week 15 DFS lineup construction going? For your cash game lineups, you should be all set with the NFL Week 15 DFS Playbook, but if you're also building GPP tournament lineups, you're probably in need of a little more value, especially if you're looking to get one of those high-priced stacks going. If you've read through the Playbook then you have a really good idea as to where we are going for our pay-downs. We want those high-end quarterbacks and we seem to have a real nice pocket of mid-tier value at wide receiver. That should push us more towards the value at running back and maybe even the tight end position. How does that sit with you? Not great, Bob. Not great. But, I think there are a few intriguing options to keep on your radar.
Welcome to the DFS Dart Board for NFL Week 15!
If you're new to Fantasy Alarm, the DFS Dart Board is an add-on to the Playbook that I started a few years ago. It came about when I was building GPP lineups and realized I needed more salary relief. As I dug through my notes to see who stood out the most among those players at a more affordable price, it hit me. When I put players in the Playbook, I am thinking primarily about cash lineup plays -- guys with a high floor who I could conceivably put into my core-group and build a lineup around. After those players, I would mix in a handful of guys who had boatloads of upside and were in soft match-ups, but I wasn’t paying as much attention to their salary as I should have. And that's where the Dart Board came into play.
Every now and then, when building lineups while using particular stacks, you need some salary relief. You need a guy who may not be minimally priced, but low enough to give you the flexibility you need to get someone like Derrick Henry or Ja'Marr Chase in as a flex play or something. Occasionally you may see a min-priced QB or TE in here, but more often than not, this space is reserved for running backs and wide receivers who are below $6,000 on FanDuel or $5,000 or lower on DraftKings.
Now while we call this a Dart Board, keep in mind that every player has been carefully researched. We're not up here picking players all willy-nilly, desperately hoping they hit. We're looking for the cheapest bargains possible who still have the strongest potential to give you at least a 3-5x return on what you pay.
All set? Great. Let's get to it and while you do, maybe give a listen to this week's NFL DFS Podcast with me & Jon Impemba
