This week’s NFL DFS main slate features 11 games, with the customary two showdown slates for Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football. The following players are who I’m using across my DFS lineups, and I’ll update the suggestions over the weekend if the final injury reports necessitate changes.
Updated at 2:00 a.m. ET on November 2. Friday’s injury news drastically shook up this week’s DFS landscape. As a result, I’ve made sweeping changes to the NFL DFS Cheat Sheet, and readers are advised to review the entire article to note the updated suggestions.
