Despite it being a very profitable DFS week for your ol’ pal Hotdog, I couldn’t help but desire to beat my head into a damn watching week 5 from start to finish. I felt tilted all day. No, not only because my favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, took the pedal off the gas, threw a…
Week 17! Hard to believe it is already the last week of the NFL regular season. While Week 17 in season long fantasy leagues is an absolute “no-no” in my book, it is one of my favorite weeks of the NFL season for DFS. It is the most unpredictable week of the season, including Week…
Week 15 has an odd feel to it between cold weather games, divisional games and an inordinate number of games with a low Vegas total. All of this makes finding increased opportunities difficult and could make this a low scoring week in fantasy. I have a feeling that this week could be all about the…
Due to time constraints with the Thanksgiving holiday, I am going with a different, abbreviated format for the “Offensive Tendencies” this week. It is a snapshot of a tool I created that I like to call the “Hot Sheet”. The charts below show the rating for each position per team based on each team’s own…
Tuesday afternoon brought upon somewhat of a somber feel to Cowboys fans, at least those who have loved Tony Romo since the day he claimed the starting job. If you missed it, Romo delivered one of the classiest sports speeches you may have ever heard. If you don’t feel like watching all of…

In this week’s Offensive Tendencies analysis, it was difficult to find teams that have significant increased opportunities on the ground with very few matchups where a good rushing offense is playing a poor rushing defense. So you many need to pay up a little bit at running back this week to get some guaranteed touches….
It’s Week 4 in the NFL, and after watching the Falcons/Saints trade blows on Monday night, I imagine that ownership this week will gear toward games involving those two teams. So with that said, the injury bug wasn’t as brutal this week, though we can say sayonara to some notable players that will definitely affect…
Injuries, injuries, injuries. That was one of the big storylines from Week 2 of the NFL season with numerous players exiting early due to some kind of ailment. While the injury bug took its toll on my Top Plays from last week it did the same to many other experts also leaving me with another…
Time for the Offensive Tendencies – Playoff Edition. With only four games in the Wild Card round of the playoffs between fairly evenly matched teams, the gaps to find increased opportunities is very limited as you will see. When it comes to a small slate of games you need something to differentiate your lineup from…
