The FantasyLabs Weekly Recap: Friday 7/1

At FantasyLabs, we publish a number of pieces that touch on daily slates. The Breakdown, Trend of the Day, and Data Dive are all valuable and help readers make tough decisions as they construct their lineups.

We also publish a host of long-term articles that remain relevant for months, in some cases years. These pieces are invaluable in that their application is almost limitless. Ultimately, this evergreen content will help you learn daily fantasy sports and become the best DFS player you can be.

Here are five pieces from this week that will be just as worthwhile next week.

Video: Using Course History in PGA Models

Article: Range of Outcomes in PGA DFS

FantasyLabs PGA Director Colin Davy discusses range of outcomes, one of the first concepts DFS players begin to incorporate when they start thinking beyond projected fantasy points. Incorporating a player’s floor and ceiling are critical to constructing the appropriate lineups for game types: High-floor players are vital for cash games, and high-ceiling players tend to fare better in GPPs.

– Article: How Important Is the Moneyline to DFS Pitchers?

FantasyLabs Editor-in-Chief Matthew Freedman analyzes the importance of Vegas moneylines to pitcher performance. While the 12-point victory bonus gestures toward the significance of moneylines on FanDuel, Consistency and Plus/Minus on DraftKings are also highly correlated with moneylines, suggesting that DFS pitcher performance across platforms is largely a function of a starter’s odds to win.
