This year, Footballguys is going even deeper into the realm of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) when it comes to football coverage. We have partnered with one of the biggest sites in the industry, FantasyAces, and our staff has grown to a point where we feel that we will have some of the best – if not the best – content when it comes to DFS NFL coverage.
With that said, the natural question is simply this – What is it that Footballguys will be offering insiders this season? Well, I am glad you asked. Here is a list of all of our weekly articles and content that will be tailored towards DraftKings coverage:
“Aces' Aces” by B.J. VandeWoude – This article is quite simply the summary of “Best Plays” for FantasyAces contests, with a look at the best plays for cash games and tournaments / Guaranteed Prize Pool (GPP) contests. If you only read one piece each week for FantasyAces, this would be the one – but why stop there?
“Contests Spotlight” by Jeff Pasquino – FantasyAces wants Footballguys readers to know what the best and biggest contests are for the week, and this page will tell you all of that in one place. From giant 50/50 contests to SalaryPro contests to qualifiers for their Live Final event (last year held in Newport Beach, CA) – they will all be highlighted every week right here.
“GPP Stacks, Fades and Ownership Percentages” by Devin Knotts – If you want to play Guaranteed Prize Pool (GPP) Tournaments, look no further than this article for full coverage of who to play and why. Devin will delve into the right stacks (and you can play two on FantasyAces with double-QB lineups), what the projected ownership percentages for several players will likely be, and who to fade to be a bit more contrarian and set yourself and your lineups apart. Answers of who to start, who to sit and why will all be right here.
But wait, there’s more….
In addition to all of the content above, the staff at Footballguys are going to have several collaborative pieces where several staffers express their opinions – and sometimes even actual rosters – for the upcoming NFL week.
“Staff Sunday Cash Plays” hosted by Will Grant – The Footballguys’ staff will submit their own cash play rosters for the week and compete against one another (and quite possibly numerous readers) in a cash game on FantasyAces each week. The results will be tracked on a weekly basis, and a link to the contest will be provided in case the reader likes one or more of the lineups (or a combination) and wants to play along.
“Wisdom of the Staff” hosted by Jeff Haseley – Sometimes you just want answers, and this article is going to have lots of them. In another collaborative work by Footballguys, Jeff Haseley will outline lots of questions for the week ahead and the staff will get right to the point with a quick answer. If you only have a few minutes each week to find what you need to know, this is the place to be.
“Sunday Games Roundtable” hosted by Ryan Hester – One of the best things about Footballguys is the large number of great minds amassed on the staff, and there is nothing quite like reading a conversation on a given NFL topic amongst them all. That is what it will feel like as you read the FantasyAces Sunday Games Roundtable where Ryan Hester and 4-5 staff discuss the DFS topics of the week, especially features unique to FantasyAces such as two flex spots and two quarterback lineups.
All of this FantasyAces' content is in addition to the DFS staples from last year, such as “The Daily Grind” by Jeff Pasquino that covers the entire DFS industry and news each week, and the Interactive Value Charts produced by Maurile Tremblay. The IVCs as we have come to know them is one of the best lineup building tools around, and it will only continue to get better and better.
It’s going to be a great year in DFS and at Footballguys. We cannot wait for September.
