Greetings, friends, and welcome to Week 5 of our Main Slate GPP Advice series. You’re going to notice a bit of a theme this week, and that wasn’t something that I planned when I started working on this a few days ago. That’s just where the numbers took me. You’ll see what I mean. But as always, we’ll be focused on GPP contests and players you can use to fill out your lineups while saving some of your budget.
GPP means we are going to look for value and take big swings. You shouldn’t have every player below in your DFS lineups. These are players with upside to target so that you can save money to use on higher-priced studs. We are going to identify value. We are going to monitor injury situations. We are going to take some risks. And most importantly, we are going to make some money.
As a general reminder, these are how most FanDuel and DraftKings contests are formatted:
- FanDuel $60,000 salary cap, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 DEF ($6,667 average price per position)
- DraftKings: $50,000 salary cap, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 DEF ($5,555 average price per position)
