Wild Card Weekend Podcast
Note – The podcast was geared towards Saturday-only and Sunday-only slates.
Important Note
While we preach cash games (50/50, H2H, Double-Ups) as our preferred strategy throughout the year, we shift towards a tournament focus on smaller slates like Thanksgiving and the playoffs. There is so much variance in the NFL and in just a 6-game sample, anything can happen. Did you remember that last year TE Jake Ferguson went off for 37.3 DK points against Green Bay on the back of 3 TDs? He was not only the TE1 but the TOP SCORING PLAYER ON THE SLATE. Yeah, Turd Ferguson hasn’t caught a TD since that weekend. Sad.
We have provided core plays for Saturday-only, Sunday-only, and the full six-game slate. Betz will be breaking down the MIN/LAR game on Monday with a special Discord Q & A.
DraftKings Core Plays
These are the 3-5 players at each position we have mixed in our cash player pool. Based on salaries, late news, and budget constraints, it is guaranteed you will not be able to fit in all of them. But their high floors and team-implied totals make them great plays for the week in both cash & GPPs.
These are simply in order of favorite core players. You obviously won’t be able to fit all in a cash lineup and there are salary tradeoffs for paying up at each position.
