JMToWin's NFL Edge: Week 17

Each week this NFL season, JMToWin will break down every game on the NFL slate from top to bottom, with a look at game flow, player matchups, coaching tendencies, DFS strategy, and anything else that shows up in his research that might give you an edge on the slate. Widely regarded as the most in-depth, DFS-specific article in the industry, this top-to-bottom breakdown is just what you need in order to conquer the slate and take home money each week!

A Quick Note On Week 17

People freak out a bit too much about Week 17, but it is certainly true that we need to be aware of the situation in which each team finds itself. Because people tend to swing too far toward crazy plays this weekend, it has typically been one of my best weekends of the DFS season – by simply sticking to the plays that make the most sense on paper.

Of course, we’ll touch on the unusual situations, where necessary, as we walk through this week’s article. But remember: this is like any other week. You are trying to make what you feel are the actual best plays you can make.

People always make a big deal about “teams that have nothing to play for in Week 17.”
