The NFL DFS Cheat Sheet is simple. There are no lengthy explanations for which players gamers should mix into their DFS lineups on Sunday’s main slate and the forthcoming Showdown contests. Instead, it’s a quick and dirty breakdown of the players from each game I’m mixing into my DFS lineups and suggesting readers mix into theirs. The players will be broken down into core players and GPP-only suggestions. The former will be a mix of rock-solid selections for cash games and my highest-rostered players in GPPs.
