This is a unique week, a week where I will be honest in saying I am turning the page on it relatively late based on how I’ve typically tackled each week here at OWS in 2024. Most of my own approach to this Week 13 main slate is feeling different since I had a “bye” week from the Angles email with JM properly taking the reins for the massive Thanksgiving slate we all just put behind us. Additionally, like many of you, I am traveling and have been spending time with family around the holiday. So as much as I love my kids, it’s just a different rhythm this week and I wanted you all to know that. What’s going to follow here is going to read more like a typical “Tuesday thoughts” rather than a late week, I’ve-poured-over-every-angle type of assessment that you should get in this space. My hope, however, is that you could walk away from this piece this week with a foundational attack that will be unique in its own right because often I adjust my approach after noting my early thoughts and then weaving my way through my research in the days that follow. All of this is to say that I’m not positive I’ll be playing DFS in Week 13, but I am positive that you’ll get some content that reads as the opposite of overthinking.
If you aren’t already, you should be taking in Matt Petrich’s Biases article, because he discusses this idea and I’ve mentioned it as well over the years, that almost every DFS article should come with a disclaimer. The disclaimer should state something about where this DFS content provider is coming from in a given week. For instance, has this expert won money on a certain player before? Have they deployed a strategy to success before and are they being stubborn in using it? (Full disclosure: I’ve been a victim of overstacking in this category over the years). Similarly, as I am this week, are they just coming up for air after a mid-week holiday, and how would that affect what you are reading if you knew that? Reading and listening to DFS content should always shape your strategy, and I am firmly confident in saying OWS is the number one site that cares about transparency in the process and results.
What other site gives you the range of content found on The Scroll each week, from the best plays to exploitative leverage and from single entry to MME (and also that lunatic who tells you to be cool if you lose every week)? What other site responds to real-time feedback and incorporates changes in the structure and schedule every season? What other site has a tab devoted to “our users win”? And what other site can do this with the relatively small circle of contributors week in and week out who work their butts off to make this experience top-notch?
I started writing the previous paragraph with the intent that we’re committed to the subs on this site winning, and winning big. And it looks like I ended up expressing my sincere gratitude to this community for all it’s done for me over the years. Thanks for reading, commenting, and supporting me through these last four seasons. If you ever think that you may owe me, just know that it’s really me who owes you! Now onto the plays…
