What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play this week? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
headChopper: My most volume will be in smaller-field GPPs with limited entries, but I’ll sprinkle in some large-field builds in the flagship contests as well. This week has more games with close, high-scoring potential than last week, so game-stacking is firmly in play. I’ll also look to buy low on offenses that disappointed in Week 1, like Texas.
MrTuttle05: Large-field tournaments – Similar to last week, I’ll be spreading out WR exposure while having a more concentrated pool at QB and RB. WR production can be tougher to nail down on a weekly basis, so it makes sense to embrace the variance there and get a little more contrarian than you might at other positions.
stlcardinals84: I will be playing around 10 entries in the larger-field tournaments. These next few weeks are where the edges will really start to show, as we have snap-count and matchup data to decipher as opposed to flying somewhat blind while building lineups. I am going to take a stand at making sure to spend up for my WR1 in almost all lineups. I love Jordyn Tyson on FD with his massive target share, and Ryan Wingo feels like a great spend-up on DK as well. I will go cheaper with my final RB selection and my QB2 (for SuperFlex) in most builds.
Jordan Vanek: I’ll be maxing the flagship contest, leaning on my game notes, data, and projected field reactions as leverage points. Game-stacking will be the core of my builds, with the KU/MIZZ matchup standing out as my preferred path. Beyond that, many of my favorite plays come from true freshman WRs who impressed me in Week 1 and offer strong upside at low projected ownership.
What is your favorite correlation and why?
