A daily fantasy sports OG, Notorious has been roaming the DFS streets ever since they were invented. So who better to walk you through all of the key NFL DFS positions each week? Noto has racked up multiple live final seats and several six-figure tournament wins in his DFS career, and he will mix it up in all different types of contests. In his Key Personnel article, he will walk you through his favorite NFL DFS picks, ways to pivot away from the chalk, and overall strategy for the upcoming slate.

Happy Monday everyone!

Once again, we have a two-game slate to look forward to and once again, there is only one hour separating the start of the two games. At first, I didn’t love the idea of having the games at the same time, but it was kind of nice to flip back and forth between the games. Can you imagine watching both of last week’s games separately? Yikes. We should have some better football in store for us tonight, as both of these games feature spreads of less than a touchdown.

Quarterback

Let’s start with the main injury we are monitoring for this slate. Joe Burrow has been dealing with a calf injury and based on some quotes, it sounds like some of his teammates are encouraging him to sit and get healthy. He seems to have other plans, as he took reps with the first team in Sunday’s practice. If active, he’s a risky fantasy option given his struggles in the first two weeks (3.2 and 16.3 fantasy points). The Rams do not have a good secondary, but they do have an elite pass rush led by Aaron Donald. If Burrow is unable to suit up, Jake Browning would draw the spot start. Regardless of who is under center for the Bengals, I’m not looking their way in cash games and small-field tournaments.
