Week 13

I got more right than wrong in Week 12, but it was a losing week thanks to one mistake in particular. I’ve been playing DFS as long as it has been around and should have known better than to overreact to the weather forecasts. I was originally planning to use Garrett Wilson in my main lineup and to build a tournament team with Mike White, but the heavy rain and wind scared me off of both plays. After the Jets made James Robinson a healthy scratch, I jumped all over the chance to play Michael Carter against the Bears. Naturally, the rain had no impact on the passing game and Carter ended up getting hurt. The swap from Wilson to Carter was certainly a costly one, as in turn I got off of James Conner. Mistakes were made, but more importantly, lessons were learned.

It’s hard to believe we are already into December and that there are only six weeks left in the regular season. There are times when the NBA and MLB seasons feel like a grind, but that is never the case when it comes to the NFL. The season goes by incredibly fast, which is part of the reason why we cherish each and every football Sunday. Over the last two weeks, the pricing has softened a bit on DraftKings, which has certainly helped from a roster construction standpoint. There are plenty of injuries to monitor, so be sure to check the updates section at the top of the page. I have a feeling it will be needed this week.
