DraftKings NFL Picks Week 11: Chalk, Pivots, and Punts
DraftKings NFL Picks Week 11
INITIAL THOUGHTS
Ten weeks down. How we all doing so far this year? My season has been hot and cold streaks. The first three weeks in the black, the next three were in the red, and have been kind of chopping around since then. The big picture is just hanging in for now waiting for the big week to hit. So far, no big wins, no bank-roll wrecking weeks, but that's how to manage a GPP-only playing style. This week I started by doing something I used to do, but haven't done yet this season. I bought some composition books and I wrote down every player from every position (not including obvious no-plays) and wrote some notes about them off the top of my head (peaked at a few stats here and there). By looking at the whole slate from the macro sense from the start and considering the price points as I go down the list reminds me of why I used to do it. It's nice to have my initial thoughts written down, then as I go through the research process I get to challenge those thoughts. After I finish this article and start reading other analyst's work, I get to challenge two layers of my ideas and determine if the beliefs I've built are worth holding onto, or are there other ideas and new information out there that may be a better idea. Now I have a rough idea of what I think will happen, it's time to start the deep-diving research. Let's see how many of those initial ideas will weather the process.
Below is the chart of which players I am considering as Good Chalk, Pivot plays, and salary saving Punts.
Jess Jones
NorCal native Jesse Jones has been obsessed with fantasy football since first joining and winning a league in 1994. Always looking for an edge, Jess has been ahead of the curve mining data and building customized spreadsheet rankings and projections while others showed up to draft day asking for a pencil and a cheat sheet. Avid DFS, Best Ball and Re-Draft player that dabbles lightly in Dynasty. When not geeking out on Fantasy Football, Jess can be found hiking, kayaking, swimming, playing tabletop games, cooking, trading equities, listening to good tunes and/or enjoying a craft brew or two.
