Welcome to my inaugural article!
My strategies and approaches were largely derived from Mjohnson86’s “Fanduel Edge” course in the marketplace and have since continued to evolve with experience, culminating in a first place finish in my main contest in 2024 as well as several other strong performances and consistently cashing to maintain my bankroll. This article is designed to help you find the best “value” spots on Fanduel for the week, as doing so can often open up opportunities for the rest of your roster. Let’s jump in!
Week 1 is always unique as there is value everywhere. Both sites offer soft pricing on players to draw as many people in as possible to fill their big “lottery” style, large field contests to start the season. This is the one week when you may find yourself with salary left over after constructing a balanced team.
Fanduel is offering a “No Sweat” Sunday Million contest for $5 per entry up to 150 teams where all entries that do not make the minimum cash line get their entry fees returned as a credit to continue playing on the site. You can’t beat high reward and no risk.
