Building A High Stakes Tournament Lineup - NFL DFS Week 12

I don’t even really know where you’re supposed to start with an article for this week 12 slate. We’ve never really seen anything like this with all the injuries and COVID issues, but we’ll do our best here to develop a strategy for how to attack this slate. There’s still more up in the air at this point that we don’t even know about. We just had Jonathan Taylor added to the COVID list this morning, James Conner (I know he’s not on this slate) apparently also just tested positive, so I’d be on the lookout for more issues before we even get to the start of these games.

As I’ve talked about in every article so far this year, there is ton of great content out there in the industry for NFL DFS players, but most of it is geared a little bit more towards picks or game by game breakdowns. Those are great (I use them too) but I do think there’s a little bit missing in terms of breaking down a slate from the perspective of how to build a tournament lineup.
