Noto's NFL DFS Core Plays: Week 12 - Thanksgiving Slate
Turkey Day Position-by-Position Breakdown
I’ll save my recap of Week 11 for the main slate breakdown, but be prepared — some major venting is in order. We don’t want to ruin the best slate of the season by tilting over what went wrong last week. I love the Thanksgiving slate because you never truly feel out of it. Even if you only have time to build one lineup, you can completely change your roster based on what happens in the first game. If you were planning to be contrarian with the late games and get off to a hot start, you can pivot to the chalkier, higher floor plays. If you get off to a bad start, you can pivot to contrarian plays in the last two games.
There are players that I will consider core plays now and when the slate locks, but I might be forced to pivot off of them if I need to make up ground in the last two games. So many DFS players will set and forget their lineups on Thursday, which creates a huge edge for the late swap crowd. My core plays will focus on my favorite players for single-entry contests, but I will cover my favorite large-field tournament plays in the positional breakdown.
