DFS Week 12

Cash tourneys have been a tough nut to crack

I’m still trying to figure out a consistent strategy this season with my cash lineup.

The fields are smarter than the past and I’m still stuck there.

I finished with only 98.38 points on DraftKings despite Bo Nix scoring 32 percent of my total with his 31.78 points.

This week we get the benefit of not one but two min-priced quarterbacks to pick from and a min-priced tight end.

Maybe this is my week as we forge forward.

Don’t forget to check out my spreadsheet, and you can use the sheet for prop bets as well.

This year Patreon is allowing weekly trials. For $5 ($7.50 of IoS), you can check my spreadsheet on a weekly basis. And if you like, you can get the whole month for $15.
