Turkey Day Slate
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This honestly might be my favorite slate of the year. The stakes are higher once we get into the playoffs, but there is nothing better than sweating football games while surrounded by your loved ones and eating a delicious meal. I’ll never understand those that don’t like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and all the other goodies that come with Thanksgiving, but to each their own. This is a holiday about giving thanks and I am truly grateful for what I do for a living. I love my family, I love my friends, and I love all of the members here at RotoGrinders.
This article won’t be as lengthy as the full slate breakdown, but I’ll cover my favorite targets at each position and give some thoughts on where you can differentiate in large-field tournaments. Perhaps the biggest piece of advice that I can give is to utilize the late swap feature for every lineup that you build. You will have a good idea of where each lineup stands after each game and you should make adjustments accordingly. If you get off to a fast start, don’t hesitate to play chalk in the next two games. If you have a player or two that struggles early, don’t be afraid to pivot off of the chalk in the later games. Everyone knows this in theory, but very few actually use the late swap feature.
As always, I’m around to answer any and all questions. My Twitter and Discord DMs are always open. I may not give you the right answer to your questions, but I will do my best. I love chatting with many of you each week.
