From time to time, I want to write a short blog about my ventures in DFS. I have been actively playing since 2011, and have been lucky enough to attend a couple of larger nationwide tournaments.
Today, there is a wealth of information available to people of all skill sets, so setting yourself apart, is becoming more difficult, and some argue that the sharks, who can put in 20-30K per day, are the only ones who can make money.
I know it was a lot easier 5 years ago, when all the information needed to value players, were a lot harder to come by.
I now have a toddler, family- and work commitments, so that I do not have a lot of time to do research, but I still try and utilize the same resources that I have in a long time.
Hopefully writing about the process, will help me become better at DFS and consistently profitable (O:
Today's lineup on Fanduel:
Payne - Lavine have been ruled out today, and Payne will start instead. he has been playing more and more minutes, since returning from injury, and at this price, it shouldnt be difficult for him to earn his salary.
Tyreke Evans - He has been on fire since returning from injury. Partly because MEM have so many injured players, so Tyreke is forced into heavy minutes and heavy usage. Marc Gasol is also questionable with an injury, so Tyreke may have to play even more minutes and will basically be the only weapon that MEM can deploy.
Lebron - Not much to say here. Lebron have been scoring about 70+ FD points in his last several games, and he is most of the offense for Cleveland. Kevin Love is also back today, and it is clear that Fanduel did not expect this, so he is grossly mispriced at only $3600 and is a must-play!
Good luck tonight
