Welcome to the NFL Week 15 DFS Playbook for the three-game Saturday-only slate. We had a lot of fun with the last three-game slate back on Thanksgiving Day and now get another here ahead of the Christmas Day slate which we will also have a specific Playbook for as well. For short slates such as this, I focus more on GPP tournaments as opposed to cash games due to the amount of overlap you get with players. In cash games, we like to use a few of the chalk plays each week to take advantage of some of the free-squares we get and then augment our lineups with other high-floor players we've identified throughout the slate. It works great for a 10-game main slate, but with such a reduced player pool, there are much fewer high-floor players from which to choose. A lot of chalk gets played in cash games and the pay-lines tend to be much higher. You are also forced into more risk with regard to your complementary players, so rather than fight the battle in cash games, I like to have more fun on a short slate and stick with the GPP tournaments. We'll be back to playing cash games for the Sunday main slate, but my recommendation here is to try out some tournaments, not play too heavy and save your bankroll for later. Obviously, you can do what you like – it's your money. I'm just trying to steer you in the best possible direction to earn.

Also, just to note for everyone – you'll see more players here in this short-slate Playbook than usual, but that is simply because I have combined the Playbook and Dart Board for Saturday. Since I only play GPP tournaments on short slates, I thought it best just to combine the two this week. I will have Example Lineups posted on Saturday morning, in case you were wondering.

 

 

Before we dive right into the plays, for those who may be new to the Fantasy Alarm #FAmily, here is a rundown of the NFL DFS content you should be studying while creating your winning DFS lineups. Let's start with our NFL tools. We continue to crunch the numbers and tweak our algorithms so that our daily fantasy football projections are the best in the industry and that, in turn, has improved things like our Lineup Generator/DFS Optimizer, our DFS Compare tool and even our NFL DFS Ownership Projections. Again, all right here on one site for your convenience.

Again, if you are new to the #FAmily, welcome! All the aforementioned tools are, obviously, at your disposal as well, but please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush your DFS contests each week. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team.

QB Coach – Jon Impemba (@jimpemba777)

RB Coach -- Justin Vreeland (@JustinVreeland)

WR Coach -- Colby Conway (@colbyrconway)

TE Coach -- Andrew Cooper (@CoopAFiasco)

D/ST Coach -- Dan Malin (@RealDANlanta)

In addition to the positional coaching pieces, you also have things like the DFS Watch List, where I provide you with a list of players I am looking at throughout the week. We have the NFL DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba, which you can click below and watch as we talk through each position, our favorite plays and even build a lineup on DraftKings. Impemba also does the Value Plays & Contrarian Corner videos so be sure to check that out as well. Also, don't miss out on the complete NFL Weekly Match-Up Report from Britt Flinn (@britt_flinn) and the all-important WR/CB Match-Up Report from JB Barry (@FantasyCoachJB).

If you haven't started bookmarking everything, do yourself a favor and do it now. Yes, that's a lot of content and sure, it can be overwhelming, but these pieces come out throughout the week, so if you're seeing all of this for the first time, just know that it all starts trickling out on Tuesday so you can attack the info steadily rather than get slammed all at once. I would suggest that you go through the NFL DFS Menu and start bookmarking a lot of these pieces for ease of use in the future.

Once you've got all of that under your belt, it's time to look at the Playbook. It usually arrives in the early afternoon on Saturdays which gives you ample time to read through everything, make your notes and begin working on your lineups. On Sunday morning, we will provide you with Example Lineups for both cash games and GPP tournaments on DraftKings and FanDuel, so you have something to compare your own to before finalizing.

Pretty sure that sums up the basics, and as you should know, if you have any questions, we are all available via the Fantasy Alarm Discord Chat, social media and even email, so please do not ever hesitate to ask for help. That's what we are here for.

If you are ready, let's now dive into the Week 15 NFL DFS Saturday Playbook!

Don't forget to listen/watch the NFL Week 15 DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba while you build your lineups!
