Mike Johnson (MJohnson86) has racked up nearly $500,000 in DFS profit as an NFL tournament player with success in all styles of contests
This article is specifically designed to give you some ideas on ways that we can use strategy to jump ahead of the field on Fanduel. Touchdowns play an even bigger role on Fanduel than on Draftkings because receptions are only worth half a point, while on DK receptions are worth a full point. Touchdowns used to be an even bigger deal before (this year, FD added bonuses for yardage totals – more on this below), but it’s still something we need to focus on because of the reception difference and how they price their players. Touchdowns have a high degree of variance and since they carry so much weight on Fanduel, this article will focus on ways each week that we can leverage that variance to jump ahead of the field when things don’t go exactly as expected as far as who crosses the imaginary line while holding the football.
As alluded to in my Fanduel Player Grid, there is A TON of wide receiver value on the board this week. We also have a week where there are several high-priced RBs in good to great spots. This creates a funnel of rosters to extremely similar builds. Also discussed in my Player Grid is the fact that all of the top WRs are in very good spots as well, it’s just hard to pull the trigger on them over guys almost $3k cheaper. But what if a couple of them go for 30+ points? All four of them (Lamb, ARSB, Hill, Jefferson) will have single digit ownership. Pairing two of them together would be an extremely rare build and give you a clear path to the top.
