Jeff’s Hardcore Core- NFL Week 5

Welcome to Week 5 of the NFL season as we are now a quarter of the way through the regular season already. As we fly through this short season, we start to see more and more trends and the data becomes more rich. Injuries are coming into play big time as they often do, and it is imperative that we utilize back-up players to gain value in our DFS lineups. We had another good week last week as the core included many of the top scorers on the week.

Last week we talked in depth about identifying which cornerback is going to be covering which receiver in order to determine what receivers to select for our rosters. This strategy does not mean that a great cornerback can always completely shut down a great receiver, but it might be an indication that the great receiver will not be exploding as he might normally and be held to less than 3X of his price, which would be a disaster for our GPP teams. If you missed that article, be sure to go back and check it out, because WR vs Cornerback match-ups are one of the most important aspects to be analyze if you are to be successful in DFS football.  As you can tell each week I will be talking about different strategies that we must educated on and utilize in order to give ourselves the best chance possible to win GPPs.  It is obviously difficult to win GPPs, but without knowing about volume, match-ups, opportunity, and all the things I discuss in my column each week, your chances are going to diminish.

Best of luck this week Team FGI!
