And here we are, NFL Week 17 is here and we've got one heck of a main slate for building winning DFS lineups. It's been quite the ride throughout this season and we've had some rousing success this season. Our cash game play has been on-point and we've also taken some some decent winnings through GPP tournaments. Now it's time to punctuate our season in style. Yes, there is still one more week to go, but outside of those teams specifically eliminated from the NFL playoffs, we have several who need the win bad enough, we're going to want to use them for our DFS contests and take advantage of their situations. But those teams fighting for their playoff lives aren't the only ones. Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers are still looking to clinch the No. 1 overall seed, so this tomato-can match-up against the Washington Commanders is something in which we want to invest as well. It's the same for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles – players we've been riding all year and we want to use one more time. They'll probably all end up resting next week, so Week 17 is where it's at.

 

 

Even though we are at the tail-end of the NFL regular season, we've seen a number of new subscribers following our holiday promo. So 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 17 NFL DFS Playbook!

Don't forget to listen/watch the NFL Week 17 DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba while you build your lineups!
