You Know Nothing
Ygritte was right about Jon Snow. Dude really was clueless at that point. It was really cool of her to alert him to this though. So much easier to navigate a situation when you know that you don’t know and can proceed accordingly.
The good thing about Week 1 is that there’s a shit-ton of people out there even more clueless than we are. People are so geeked for the NFL season to start. We have more casuals dipping their toes in these shark-infested waters than at any point during the year. The sites know this, hence the cheaper contests with looser pricing compared to the budget and salary restraints we’ll face in the coming slates.
Befriend the Fish
So how do we exploit our current situation? The best thing I ever did was get one of my poker buddies into DFS. He’s a pretty sharp guy but doesn’t have the time to grind DFS theory or research past the first podcast. So, when I called him to ask what kind of lineups he was going to roll out this week, I wasn’t surprised. The answers revolved around how the Chargers // Dolphins game was going to shoot out, Commanders DST is the play because they’re so cheap and the Cardinals don’t even want to win, and Marvin Mims is going to start and he’s only 3k!
This is a great place to start when trying to understand (and exploit) what our large-field opponents will be doing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll have a few spots where Mims will fit nicely, and I stack every damn game so I’ll have some Dolphins and Chargers stuff. We just have to build in ways that can ascend past the field rather than slog along with them like a flounder amidst huge clumps of seaweed.
