What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat the field? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
headChopper: I prefer small fields with limited entries. This slate, much like the main slate, is going to feature a lot of odd players projecting well because teams are resting for the playoffs or calling off the dogs for the season. I’ll take advantage of that by playing some step-in replacements. It’s also not a bad idea not to worry about using the entire salary cap. Leaving $1,000 or more on the table is perfectly fine.
Stevietpfl: I prefer small-field tournaments. With so many different agendas this weekend, I’ll focus on 3 to 5 teams in smaller contests. By the start of this slate, we should have a clear-cut view of what most teams are playing for. Making adjustmtents after inactives are announced and paying attention to coaches’ talk up until lock is where the edge is at this weekend. Overall, I’ll be overweight on the teams with something to play for.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll play one lineup in single-entry contests. I want to go double TE, playing both Trey McBride and Michael Mayer while stacking up Jacoby Brissett and Michael Wilson as well. It’s our last chance of the year to get the condensed Arizona stack without MHJ in the lineup, so I want to make sure to take advantage.

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
