Lesson 2: Building Lineups from the Bottom Up
I’ve mentioned this approach in a couple of my RotoAcademy courses, but I have yet to fully dive into the benefits behind the process. Seeing as how this is a course devoted strictly to lineup building, it makes a lot of sense to include it here. Our natural inclination as fantasy sports players is to be drawn to the superstars. I have no idea the actual number, but I’d guess that the majority of DFS players start their lineups with their favorite superstar or two and build from there.
While a superstar may be an excellent play in a vacuum, it may not lead to the optimal lineup construction that we are always striving for, especially in cash games.
