STLCards' NFL Field Stretcher: Week 3

Justin Van Zuiden, also known as STLCardinals84, has proven time and time again that he’s one of the best tournament players in the DFS industry. Join him each week as he gives you a glimpse into the mind of a GPP maestro.

Week 3

Well, we have already arrived at Week 3. That was fast! Teams have already played one-eighth of their regular season games, which really goes to show just how fast the NFL season moves along. There are only so many chances for us to earn some cheddar, so let’s move on and start dissecting what we have upon us this week.

The chalk hit in Week 1, and the chalk largely bombed in Week 2, which is a reminder that one week is not indicative of future performance. Leveraging ownership in GPP formats is always a potential upside move. Keep in mind – it’s already been a crazy week because… THE BROWNS WON A FOOTBALL GAME. Beer flows in Cleveland! Perhaps that’s an indicator that we have a nutty Week 3 on tap.
