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.

The sites have rolled out some huge contests for the 2-game Monday night slate, so we decided to roll out the full content schedule that we usually only do for main slates. We have Consensus Value Rankings, the Expert Survey, LineupHQ tags in our NFL lineup optimizer and blurbs, and all of the usual articles. Both of these games have blowout potential, but they could also turn into shootouts, so it sets up to be an interesting slate. We could see some rain on Monday night, so check the NFL weather page that Kevin Roth puts together weekly.

Josh Allen: $7,800 DK / $9,200 FD

While there are some appealing pivots in tournaments on this 2-game slate, I won’t overthink this one. I will be locking Josh Allen into my cash game and single-entry contests. I generally don’t build more than a couple of lineups on these small slates, so I’ll likely end up with 100% exposure to Allen. He was quiet in last week’s win over the Dolphins, but that’s because the Bills didn’t need him to do much in the blowout. In Week 1 against the Cardinals, he put the team on his back and put up 32 fantasy points (DK scoring). We have to like his matchup against the Jaguars, who are 19th in pressure rate, 20th in EPA against the pass, and 22nd in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season. He’s capable of throwing for 300+ yards, he’s capable of rushing for 50+ yards, and he’s Buffalo’s best goal-line option.
