Welcome to the DFS Watch List for NFL Week 15!
While a fair amount of my lineups cashed, I feel like I was blessed to basically break even last week. If you go back and look at both the Playbook and the Live Stats page, it's easiest to sit which plays hit and which ones did not. You can match that up with some of the example lineups I built and see where the failure on some lineups came. In cash, aying up for Justin Herbert did not work because of the constraints it put on your lineup. Paying down for Mitchell Trubisky worked better. You could have gotten away with fading Derrick Henry because of the performacnes by Jonathan Taylor and David Montgomery . The top receivers worked, but fitting them, especially if you wanted to squeeze Travis Kelce in at tight end, became increasingly difficult. And yes, you could have paid down for Mike Gesicki and been fine, but we've seen how fading Kelce misses more than it hits.
So what exactly did last week's Playbook deliver? As always, we like to check in to ensure we remain on the right path, regardless of overall results.
Scoring The Playbook Week 14
Thirty Point scorers at each position highlights the Playbook for Week 14. Here are some more highlights:
- Eight quarterbacks out of eight returned 2X Value with an average of more than 3.1X Value.
- Bears stack paid dividends for those brave enough to listen to the Trubisky call.
- David Montgomery and Jonathan Taylor both in the Playbook delivering high value and 25+ point performance.
- The Playbook had a 30+ Point performance at each position with Aaron Rodgers , Derrick Henry & Jonathan Taylor, Allen Robinson , and Travis Kelce .
- The top three scoring Tight Ends were all in the Playbook with Mike Gesicki giving highest return at over 5.2X Value.
- The top lineup that could be made was 212.6

Now, obviously, hindsight is 20-20 and hitting the nuts off the Playbook and Dart Board is still tough to do given the number of possible permutations, but what it shows is that the work is being done to give ytou the best possible chances to win. And it's more than just going to the Lineup Generator, clicking Playbook & Dart Board Only and generating lineups. You have to study the match-ups, read the content and build around your favorites after the research is done. We whittle down the player pool for you, but you still need to prefect your lineup construction methods and select the right contests.
If you are one of our new subscribers, welcome! Love seeing the #FAmily grow. As just and FYI -- This piece will be continuously updated throughout the week, based on the most recent news and injuries which means you may see a name or two removed as we get closer to kick-off. You may also see a few late-week additions who pique our interest for some reason too, and by the end of the week, this Watch List will eventually become your Playbook. Again, it’s about teaching you the process.
With that all being said, it's time to check in and see which players we are looking at for DFS this week.
