What is your favorite game-script build and why?

Notorious: My favorite game script is a high-scoring game where both teams have success on the ground. I don’t have much interest in the defenses or kickers, so I’m hoping both offenses will be efficient even though this projects to be on the slower side when it comes to pace.

Davis Mattek: The Packers have run fewer than 55 offensive plays for a month straight of games. The Seahawks defense has put the clamps on over the last 3 weeks as they have gotten healthy. Sadly, I think this game will look more like what we got on TNF than a high-scoring, knockdown drag-out affair.

Bobby Gomes: My favorite game script will be to favor the Seahawks passing game of Geno Smith, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and DK Metcalf, as the Packers’ secondary is banged up and thin. The game should play closely, and we should see a fair share of points from both sides in a potential playoff preview. The involvement of Zach Charbonnet in the passing game will allow me to also use him with Geno and company in Seahawks onslaughts.

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?

Robert Brown (Epignosis)

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.
