NFL DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey (Afternoon Slate): Week 4 Picks
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
headChopper: Christian McCaffrey
Stevietpfl: Jaxon Smith-Njigba
TJ Zwarych: Jaxon Smith-Njigba
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
headChopper: I will be fading Miami altogether, fading Minnesota stacks (outside of Aaron Jones and the Vikings D/ST), picking a couple of players from the KC/LV game, going very light on the Chargers, and using just a couple of options from the Seahawks, all while being overweight on the DEN/SF game. Even though those are two good defenses, I think that game has the potential to become an efficient little shootout.
Stevietpfl: I’m going to fade the Chargers and be overweight on the Minnesota passing game. On this slate, I expect the 49ers to be chalkier, which makes me like the pivot to Kyler Murray. With Justin Jefferson out, Jordan Addison is a great option. I’ll run it back with Malik Washington and/or Chris Bell. I also like mini-stacks of the KC/LV game. As much as I like Jaxon Smith-Njigba for cash games, I think going Travis Kelce / Brock Bowers is a great tournament pivot off JSN.
TJ Zwarych: I want to get as much exposure to the Seahawks as possible, while my secondary target will be the KC/LV game, likely with a Brock Bowers + Kenneth Walker III stack. Except for the Vikings, I’ll probably avoid the other teams altogether. I’ll use the Vikings for salary relief with Justin Jefferson out.

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.
