THE PROGNOSTICATOR: Week 7

Welcome my fantasy brethren to another edition of The Prognosticator, may it sooth the savage beasts. There are some interesting choices this week as there are a number of games that sound like they could be good sources of fantasy production but ultimately won’t be. It is a minefield this week, be careful. I’m not a big DFS player, far from it, but I have been putting in a lineup each week, playing in just a few 50/50’s and Double Ups. I do it just for fun — a tank of gas costs me more than what I’ll play in a week in DFS but it has been a tremendously successful year. I’ve only had one week where I didn’t manage to double up so I’m roughly at 5X what I started with. Now I can fill my tank twice!! This week is just so screwy that after careful consideration, I’m going to sit this one out. What makes it tricky is all the stats that will come out of the Atlanta/New England game and the fact that it is the Sunday Night game. The way the games are grouped by time in DFS, really messes everything up this week with that night game being such a cherry game for stats. The early games are a desert wasteland, I don’t like using just two games and submitting a prime-time lineup so to make sure you have some of the Patriots/Falcons matchup you need to dilute your choices and pick from many more games. It opens you up to some sharp unpredictability so in a nutshell, I’m riding this one out.
