What is your favorite game-script build and why?
Notorious: My favorite game script is having the Eagles build a lead early. I love all three of the key play makers for Philadelphia (Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown) and want to target the passing attack for the Rams. I also have interest in Jake Elliott. If the Eagles are playing with a lead, they will be more likely to settle for field goals in the second half.
ncorfield8k: I expect this game to stay competitive and will be building accordingly. I’ll still roster the defenses a fair amount, but defensive success in DFS doesn’t have to come at the expense of fantasy points. Often, turnovers lead to great field position and quick scores.
Davis Mattek: I expect both teams to struggle running the ball a bit more than the market would anticipate and to have things flow through their talented WRs. The Rams have really struggled running the ball in the last month of the season, and it looks like both Nacua and Kupp will be a bit underowned. I think the Eagles pull away in the second half, however.
Bobby Gomes: I have this game being a close track meet, as the implied game total is sitting at 48.5. On paper, there are numerous offensive pieces from both sides. This game should be determined by a few points, and it is a perfect slate for my MME approach, building an array of 4-2 buids featuring both sides.
What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

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.
