Introduction: Laying the Foundation

Welcome, Grinders! It has been some time since I last produced a course for RotoAcademy, so it made sense to me to kick out some fresh content in time for the upcoming NFL season. In pondering topics to write about, I simply thought about the questions that I get asked most often as a daily fantasy player. Over the last few years, the biggest question has almost always been:

“How can I learn to be better at tournament play?”

Almost everyone in DFS is comfortable with cash game play these days. It’s not difficult to identify the obvious plays most of the time, and those are going to be the cornerstones of your cash game rosters. Many times, sharp head-to-head games will be a simple 2 vs. 2 matchup for the win, and the edge is getting smaller by the day.
