NFL DFS: Quick Hitters for Week 2

Week one is in the books and it featured some close finishes, overtime games, a freaking tie, big blowouts, plenty of fantasy points being scored that led to some really high scores across the NFL DFS industry.

This article is going to be a “first look” at the coming week every Tuesday in which I attempt to give you a starting point for your research by providing some relevant statistics, pricing discrepancies across sites, and my own thoughts and insight on some of the players with the primary focus being on DFS.

If you’re anything like me, you can’t help but pull up next week’s slate as early as Sunday night once the main slate has concluded. Whether you are really amped up after a big week of winning or trying to turn the page quickly after a rough day, it makes sense to dive into the next slate as early as possible and try to get a sense of where you might be going the following week.

While it’s far to easy to just click on the players who are coming off big games (especially after only one week of football), it still makes a lot of sense to take a look at matchups for these players as well as try to identify potential bounce-back spots for players who let us down.

My goal here is to give you some information to chew on for the next few days until the vast majority of NFL DFS content drops later in the week. I would highly encourage anyone who wants to improve their lineups and roster construction to do as much independent research as you can before you start reading articles filled with player picks to see if your research lines up with the experts. And just a reminder, don’t forget to read my GPP pivots column every Friday!
