Week 7 NFL DFS is shaping up to be quite the interesting slate. We're likely to live within the confined of the Week 7 NFL Playbook for our cash games, but there are a lot of places we can potentially find savings for our GPP tournament lineups. We're actually going to need it more than we did last week as most of last week's value came at the running back position and while we dig using guys like Kenneth Walker and Josh Jacobs this week, their price tags have been dramatically increased on one site or both. That means, in order to get guys like Austin Ekeler, Davante Adams or Travis Kelce into our lineups, we're going to have to dig deep for some value. We'll continue to monitor all of the latest news between now and kickoff on Sunday, so be sure to check back for late changes in the morning. Now let's get to it.

 

 

Welcome to the DFS Dart Board for NFL Week 7!

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 Justin Jefferson or Stefon Diggs 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
