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 zoom in on the process discussed in Part I. We’ll review the Week 13 slate landscape and some key elements that will assist you in lineup building.

Week 13: Understand the Landscape of the Slate

I’ll try to keep this concise, but one of the most important factors to constructing a single roster is to understand the NFL environment for the week. I start at the macro level, and look at each game individually without a heavy focus on individual DFS player pricing or roster construction. Below, you’ll find some notes I have made as I ran through the slate for the first time on Tuesday.
