Raybon’s NFL DFS Week 2 Breakdown: Alvin Kamara Owns the Rams

By Chris Raybon @ChrisRaybon

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’ large 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.

Week 2 shmoney time.

Quarterback

Jared Goff ($5,900 DK, $7,500 FD) vs. NO
Lamar Jackson ($6,700 DK, $8,200 FD) vs. ARI
Patrick Mahomes ($7,500 DK, $9,000 FD) at OAK
