How to win one million dollars playing DFS, a thread: Last night, SportsKings101 won $1M+ on just one $20 lineup

But he didn't just get lucky. He built a KILLER lineup, that was extremely sharp on multiple levels.

What was he thinking when building it? Could we have gotten there ourselves?

Here is an analysis of his lineup:

Is this the best year ever to go Zero-RB?

Yes.

Why? Because every RB you could possibly draft sucks ass.

Here's a thread. Deal with it 👇🧵 Christian McCaffrey (ADP: RB1)

Back in my day, the top RB drafted was usually someone who was a lock to lead his team in carries, not split time in a 55/45 committee backfield

Tyquan Thornton is the Mock Draft Consensus WR22, projected to go in Round 5.

But he's probably one of my top-15 favorite WRs in this class. And I don't see any way he falls out of Day 2.

Thread: 🧵👇🏼 **Production + Efficiency Profile**

Broke out in his age 19.1 sophomore season, gaining 782 yards (22% YMS) on 68 targets

Or, 77% as many receiving yards as senior and future Round 2-pick Denzel Mims (2.8 years older) on only 60% as many targets

I can't stop thinking about the #Eagles' decision to draft WR Jalen Reagor over WR Justin Jefferson -- who went one pick later, to the #Vikings Was it speed, like @MoveTheSticks suggested? I don’t think so.

Justin Jefferson: 4.43 forty-yard-dash
Jalen Reagor: 4.47 forty-yard-dash

Last year I wrote a weekly column on streaming defenses.

No one read it. No one cared.

I get it. But it’s still a position that accrues fantasy points for your team, and as such, it’s relevant. It’s a potential small edge to be maximized, and maximize we must. Because that’s all we have.

And streaming is glaringly the optimal approach.

Slot Wide Receivers Don’t Matter: A Thread

#SWRDM We've all heard that "Running Backs Don't Matter"

One argument: “RBs are a dime a dozen. Your GM is an idiot if he spends a Day 2 pick on a RB. Any UDFA will do.”

But are we sure slot wide receiver production isn’t just as (if not more) cheaply available / easily replaceable

I don't know if anyone cares as much as I do, but 'Fantasy Strength of Schedule' is a subject I've written about and grappled with for about 4-5 years now

With the help of the great @beerswater, there came a breakthrough

Here's what we came up with:

[Articles out this week] Essentially,,,

The difference between Joe Mixon’s schedule last year and his schedule this year is the difference between him finishing 20th (14.1) and 12th in fantasy points per game (15.9).

In our final attempt to find meaning - any meaning whatsoever - in the Combine, I wanted to look at the data in a slightly different way than straight correlations How athletic is an elite fantasy RB/WR/TE compared to an average one? Or an above average one to a below average one? What happens when we bring draft capital into the equation? What events might NFL teams be over/underweighting in the draft?

What “Running Backs Don’t Matter” Means to Me

A thread: Rushing is massively inefficient compared to passing. Teams should be passing at a much higher rate.
