Raybon’s Week 9 DFS Breakdown: These 3 RBs Can Lead Your Lineup

week 5-nfl-dfs-rb-breakdown-picks-draftkings-fanduel-fantasy football-2021

This article is a data-driven deep dive on strategic decision-making and roster construction for DFS cash games and tournaments. It relies heavily upon FantasyLabs’ extensive suite of analytical DFS tools, as well as advanced metrics and film study. First, I walk through narrowing down the player pool at each position. Then, I lay out how to choose the highest-floor lineup combinations for cash games. Finally, I go game-by-game to present the biggest edges (stacks, pivots, leverage opportunities, etc.) in each.

Quarterback (Cash)

  • Russell Wilson, Seahawks ($7,600 DK, $9,000 FD) at BUF

Russell Wilson: Seven games played, seven times eclipsing value for Wilson, and he’s done it by an average of over 11 points, no less (+11.96 on FanDuel, +11.26 on DraftKings). With the Bills defense missing linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral, IR) and cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring, out), this sets up to be another slate-topping day for Wilson, who leads all QBs in our NFL Player Models in median projection and Projected Plus/Minus.
