STLCards' NFL Field Stretcher: Week 9
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 9
Welcome back to the NFL Field Stretcher for Week #9! There are six NFL teams on byes this week, which is more than the four we have seen over the last few weeks. However, there is no London game in Week 9, so we once again have ten games on our DFS main slate — including what could be the biggest shootout of the year to date between the Saints and Rams. There’s a lot of fun stuff to talk about regarding this slate, so let’s get right to it!

A few notes on the above:
1) Any discussion this week obviously has to start with the Rams/Saints game in New Orleans. We have the first 60 point NFL total that I can remember, and getting pieces of that game needs to be a priority this week. We can certainly dive in and talk GPP ownership here in this article.
