Exotic Betting Picks for Super Bowl LV
The regular NFL gambler is not the primary audience for Super Bowl LV Exotic Bets. As the name implies, "exotic" is not something of the norm or regular. However, what makes exotics so fascinating is that they are attractive to both the casual gambler as well as the regular degenerate gambler. Sure, I will be […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoFanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks - Conference Championships
We are now down to the final four. No more Saturday games, just two games on Championship Sunday in which to win a little lettuce on FanDuel. The Chiefs will host the Bills in a game in which the status of Patrick Mahomes is still somewhat unknown. I like Chad Henne, but let's just say […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL Divisional Round GPP DFS Stacks - DraftKings, Fanduel Daily Fantasy Football Advice
I'll get to the Divisional Round GPP DFS stacks if I can get myself up. Because I took an absolute beating this weekend. The bulk of my lineups were very strong. But the last minute GTD of Cole Beasley started made my John Brown selections worthless as did Ronald Jones II. And I didn't even […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for Wild Card Sunday - DraftKings, Fanduel Daily Fantasy Football Advice
I am looking forward to Wild Card Sunday more than Wild Card Saturday. I think some of it is that I got a gut-feel like I know what is going to happen a little more on Saturday than Sunday. But that just means I took an even deeper dive into Wild Card Sunday DFS Stacks […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for Wild Card Saturday - DraftKings, Fanduel Daily Fantasy Football Advice
The Wild Card Round Saturday slate has a couple of GPP DFS stacks worth considering. I actually like the Saturday slate better than the Sunday slate, but does it really matter? If you're anything like me, you're going to be heavily invested in both. But as usual, I am going to look to roster some […]

Welcome Rotoballers to Week 17, always one of the weirder weeks of the season. I'd love to be able to tell you that Week 17 GPP DFS Value Plays include players on teams who are all playing for either a potential play-off berth or better seeding. Unfortunately, that's not the case. But I caution all […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 17 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
Week 17 is always a tough week and that extends to the Week 17 GPP DFS stacks. The reason is simple: some of the studs, like Patrick Mahomes, will not be playing this week because the Chiefs have already clinched the top seed in the AFC. And while none of us are likely to be […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoGPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 16) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice
Week 17 can sometimes be a strange week, so I am considering pushing "all in" this week with my entire NFL DFS stake. I wouldn't do so if I wasn't confident in my Week 16 GPP DFS Value Plays. But I am. What is giving me this confidence? It just feels like I'm due. I've had […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 16 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
I was struck with a case of writer's block for the Week 16 GPP DFS stacks. But like a lot of afflictions, the more you think about it, the worse it gets. So I needed to just ignore it for a while and come back to it later. Now in hindsight, I know what part of […]

We will look at the Week 16 GPP DFS stacks for the "main slate" later in the week, but for those looking to play the entire 16-game slate, let's look at some of the potential DFS stacks from the Friday and Saturday games. I actually like these 16-game slates the best. It spreads out the […]

Hopefully, you've made it to the Week 15 GPP DFS Value Plays with a big enough stake to make some aggressive plays. Because I'm going with some of the more expensive studs this week like Derrick Henry this week. I'm even spending up on defense and grabbing the Rams this week. But to afford some […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 15 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
I'm feeling a little bit of the Christmas spirit as I put together my Week 15 GPP DFS stacks. No, none of that good will towards men crap. There is not a single group of men, or women for that matter, I deem worthy of my good tidings. However, I do feel like we are […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoWeek 15 Saturday NFL DFS Slate: GPP Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings
I feel like a TV announcer promoting a new episode. That's because this week in the NFL, we have a special Saturday Week 15 DFS slate. I'm also expecting the next sentence to be "After a trying year for a young quarterback, he enters a small Wisconsin town while his fellow team member is unable […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoLate-Season Surgers To Target In Dynasty Leagues
Whether you are still playing for this year or playing for next year's championship, the "late-season surger" injects all kinds of life into your dynasty team. If nothing else, it often gives you another trading chip or two to play with, bolstering your off-season leverage. Of course, there are some rookies who are surging late […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 14 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
The Week 14 GPP DFS stacks come with questions as there are more than half a dozen possible stacks for cash games this week: GB, LAC, CHI, HOU, ATL, TEN, and SEA just to name a few. This week sets up as a very interesting week as any of the stacks above could be the […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 13 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
Thirteen is thought to be an unlucky number, but I'm feeling good about this week and that extends to my Week 13 GPP DFS stacks. As we have discussed, pure chalk rarely wins a GPP, so let's start by eliminating what I believe will be some of the chalkier options this week. Whether it is […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoGPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 13) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice
The Week 13 GPP DFS Value Plays come on the heels of the "longest week in the NFL", in case you didn't hear Mike Tirico say it multiple times yesterday. I'll be honest, I like a "long week" and a little mid-week football when those players haven't played in over a week. But I hate […]

My week 12 GPP DFS stacks recommendations are being dedicated to "Brett S." I barely knew Brett, but he was one of the fellow owners in one of my seasonal FFL leagues. However, I am friendly with his brother-in-law, who ironically is the first person I remember ever asking me years ago, "Do you know […]

The Week 12 GPP Value brings to mind a little Hill Street Blues - let's be careful out there. Because this slate has gone from tough to ugly! It seems that some of these NFL players should heed that advice as the number of healthy options are dropping like flies. Adam Thielen is just the most […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoGPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 11) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice
Last week I was aggressive in my picks, but I'm being even more frugal this week with my Week 11 GPP Value plays. We are going with two rookies, well maybe a third if you count the XFL player that I thought might be on an NFL team this year, and a 36-year old only […]

In between my Week 10 and Week 11 GPP DFS stacks recommendations I read one of the alumni magazines that arrive in my mailbox. And I learned that one of my professors had recently passed away. And that got me thinking about the various lectures in grad school that stuck with me. And one of […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoGPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 10) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice
I am feeling quite aggressive with my Week 10 GPP Value plays. I think part of it is that my spider senses are tingling big time about this week. Something in my gut is gnawing at me. Or perhaps that is last night's make-your-own-pizza refusing to go quietly. But something just feels wrong about this […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 10 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
You might want to follow my Week 10 GPP DFS stacks recommendations because all three of my Week 9 GPP DFS stack recommendations hit. Sure, the Broncos was a little surprised. But how many other sites actually recommended you start Jake Luton? Not many, I will tell you that much. On the other hand, even […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 9 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
We've all been staring at both "red states" and "blue states" all week, so I promise that my Week 9 GPP DFS stacks will not only be politics-free, but I won't even consider any "red" or "blue" teams either! I'm avoiding the chalky "red" of the Cardinals, Chiefs, and Falcons as well as the obvious […]

I am writing my Week 9 GPP Value Plays while they are still diligently counting the mail-in votes here in Pennsylvania. I don't want to get too political, so I will simply say letting PA determine anything related to the rest of the country is a bad idea. One of the defining attributes of the […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoGPP DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 8) - Daily Fantasy Football Advice
My Week 8 GPP Value Plays are coming on the heels of a pretty strong week from me. I "hit" on three of my four picks last week. But this week's slate is a little frustrating for me. I would love to suggest some Panthers, Eagles, or Buccaneers as value plays this week, but alas […]
mstrausberg 4 years agoNFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 8 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)
There are quite a few "chalk" stacks I felt I needed to exclude from my Week 8 GPP DFS stack consideration set. Like most weeks, Kansas City is a chalky stack, but this week against the Jets they are nearly too easy. The addition of Carlos Dunlap will help Seattle, but that secondary has been […]

My Week 7 GPP Value Plays are confined to games that I know will be played in the main slate this week. I think. While we all hope that the NFL season happens without any games missed due to COVID-19, it has already been marred by all kinds of scheduling changes due to the virus. […]

I'm going to begin my Week 7 GPP DFS stacks with a discussion of a new element I am going to be adding moving forward. For the rest of the season, I will be adding to each recommendation a discussion of the "runback" options. The concept of the runback is not new. However, I am […]

It's possible that my Week 6 GPP Value Plays have been influenced by Amazon Prime Day which was earlier this week. I didn't buy too much, but I did buy two items that were dramatically reduced. And a quick look at my Week 6 DFS value plays shows options that combined are fine cheaper than […]
