FanDuel SES: Considering Your Opponents

Article Image

The FanDuel Single Entry Series, presented by RotoGrinders, is back for NFL, so it’s a good time to talk about a process that can help you succeed when building a single GPP roster.

There is something exciting and inspiring about pure, level-footed competition. We all think of head-to-head games as beating our opponents individually, but rarely do we picture pitting our lineup one-on-one with each of the competitors in a large-field tournament. Single entry GPPs give us that chance. We don’t have the luxury – and nor does the competition – of taking multiple paths to roster construction. We have to decide which of the available concepts is most likely to capture the top prize and make some tough decisions to cut players and strategies we like along the way.

In this article, I will once again call back to the original strategy guide and focus on information specific to Week 16. In our final installment, we’ll take a look at our week 16 opponents and attempt to predict their behavior.
