Episode notes
Week 12 Marquee Matchups Matter
- The Chiefs-Colts and Patriots-Bengals games are the marquee DFS spots with very high totals and matchup significance.
- Joe Burrow likely returning and Jamar Chase suspended reshapes target distribution and ownership across Bengals skill players.
Play Chalk In Cash, Seek Leverage In Tourneys
- Consider rostering obvious chalk in cash and seek leverage at QB and flex for tournaments.
- Use cheaper backs and two-tight-end sets to create roster differentiation where ownership is concentrated.
Choose QB By Comfort And Role
- Don't overcommit to volatile QBs even if projections look strong; pick based on comfort and matchup.
- Consider midrange options like Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett for safer floors and Lawrence for upside in tournaments.
