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?
Moneyball16: Large-field GPPs. Despite 7 games, there is a lack of great options on this slate, so I will be more worried about correlation and ownership than normal. On a slate without the elite matchups, all these fully correlated lines against even mediocre matchups look pretty good.
TastefulTides: Single-entry and small-field GPPs are my preferred format. There are plenty of really solid pay-up options today. I will be keeping an eye on projected ownership. If the Oilers look to be super chalky, I will pivot to the Lightning or the Wild, teams I believe will be underowned relative to their ceilings.
Hunter4ever89: I prefer the large-field tournaments this evening. Edmonton has the highest implied team total tonight, and it looks like they may garner the most ownership. I will have plenty of exposure to the Oilers, but I will look to get over the field in a few other spots like MIN, PIT, and DET. These teams don’t have the highest implied team totals, but I really like their prices and the correlation their top lines offer.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

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.
