NFL DFS Cheat Sheet: Picks for Every Game (Week 17)

Welcome to my Weekly DFS Cheat Sheet. If you love The Primer, my weekly fantasy football novella, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this cliff notes addition. For my in-depth thoughts on the players listed here, see the Primer for my full breakdowns, but if you’re a DFS degen like myself rifling through numerous lineups only minutes before lock, you’ll love this listicle of players I want to target for each game.

For site-specific plays, showdown captains, and more, let’s chat in the FantasyPros DFS Discord. Tag me with your DFS questions weekly. Let’s stack some cash this week.
