The only update is the removal of Rico Dowdle. Reports are in that Chuba Hubbard is expected to play, so even if Hubbard were to be limited, which he is not, Dowdle is out for GPP tournaments.

Welcome to the NFL DFS Week 4 (Jaxson) Dart Board!

Now before you get all crazy and start loading up your NFL Week 4 DFS lineups with Jaxson Dart, understand that we're just having a little fun here. Maybe, just maybe you'll get a sneak-peek at my Simba Stack, but let's pump the brakes here on the hype. I get that a $4,500/$6,000 quarterback provides us with an insane amount of salary relief and that he doesn't have to do much to pay off said salary, but let's also remember that the FLOOR IS LAVA!!!! He could just as easily crap the bed for you as he could be a DFS hero. So again…I'm just having fun with the cover image. After all, I'm pretty sure Dan Malin specifically asked for this in Discord.

Anyway…let's talk about some DFS bargain plays, shall we…?

 

 

If you're new to Fantasy Alarm, the DFS Dart Board is an add-on to the Playbook that I started several 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 which players stood out the most among those 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 Christian McCaffrey or Puka Nacua 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 primarily 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 Show with me & Jon Impemba.
