Greetings, friends, and welcome to Week 17 of the DFS Pricing Exploitation series. Every week in this space, we’ll take a look at pricing on DraftKings and FanDuel and identify our favorite quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends based on how we can best take advantage of recent changes to those prices.
We’re almost to the end of the regular season, although things have certainly gotten interesting over the last few weeks. There are COVID outbreaks all over the country, and all of the major sports are being affected. However, the NFL just announced new COVID protocols that allow even unvaccinated players to return five days after testing positive without even having to test negative as long as they show “improving” symptoms. What does that actually mean? No idea. But it does mean that many players who test positive for COVID during the week will still be able to play on Sunday now.
