  • NFL Week 9 2024 - Main Slate DFS Preview

    Week eight was a fun one for fantasy, with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles really hitting their stride, Jameis Winston making the Cleveland Browns interesting again, and Cade Otton making the most of his opportunities in Tampa Bay. On National Tight End Day, everybody’s favorite position really knew how to celebrate, with five tight ends registering over 20 points and another four registering over 16. The tight end position was rough to start with, but all of a sudden, there seem to be options everywhere.

  • NFL Week 8 2024 - Main Slate DFS Preview

    Last week in the National Football League, we saw statement wins for Baltimore, Detroit, and Kansas City, as these three look to cement their position as front runners for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans this February. The Lions pulled off a thrilling victory in the game of the week in Minnesota, ending the Vikings' undefeated start and opening up the NFC North even more.

  • NFL Week 7 2024 - Main Slate DFS Preview

    With a third of the NFL season gone, this campaign is starting to take shape after some huge results in Week 6. Possibly the most impressive win of the weekend was the Lions’ dismantling of the Cowboys, which marked another real statement win for Detroit. Other contenders to pick up big wins were the Packers, who secured a solid win at home against Arizona, and the 49ers, who look back on track following a 36-24 divisional win over Seattle.

  • NFL Week 6 2024 - Main Slate DFS Preview

    Week five was arguably the best of this NFL season yet, as both the Ravens-Bengals and Buccaneers-Falcons games in particular would feature as two of the best games of any season. There were also notable upset wins for the Giants and Cardinals, both conquering seven-point spreads and proving, as always, that you never know what will happen on any given Sunday. Also, the Jags won their first game of the year at home to the Colts, meaning that just five weeks in, there are no winless teams remaining. With four teams on their bye week, there are fourteen games on the slate this weekend, and again, we’ve selected five to preview for Daily Fantasy this week, beginning with a doozy between two of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL.

  • NFL Week 5 - Main Slate DFS Preview

    This unpredictable 2024 season rolls into week 5, with fourteen more matches to get stuck into, and 10 in the Sunday slate to look at from a DFS perspective. Four weeks in, only two undefeated teams remain, and whilst the Chiefs being 4-0 is unsurprising, the Vikings' identical start has shocked almost everyone

  • NFL Week 4 - Main Slate DFS Preview

    This weekend sees week four of the NFL season, which is already looking make-or-break for several teams. The Bengals, Jaguars and Titans all sit at 0-3, and will be absolutely desperate to get in the win column as their playoff hopes are already fading away. Elsewhere in the league, week 3 saw surprising losses for the 49ers and Buccaneers as well as the previously unstoppable Saints offense being held to just 12 points in a loss against Philadelphia, in what’s already proving to be an unpredictable season. Here, we look at five matchups this weekend, and give you some recommended picks for daily fantasy this weekend, as we try to make sense of it all.

    After an intriguing week two filled with upsets, the NFL returns for another week of action on the gridiron. The weekend was marked by several upset wins, with the Raiders and Saints both picking up shock road wins, and the Minnesota Vikings putting away the NFC holders, the 49ers, in Minneapolis.

    After a long seven months, NFL football finally returned last week, with sixteen games across four days of action. The weekend was bookended by last year’s Super Bowl teams picking up victories in primetime, with the Chiefs and 49ers looking to pick up where they left off last season.

  • Draftkings Thursday Night Showdown Browns vs Steelers

    This game has the makings of an absolute stinker. Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers face off against Jacoby Brissett and the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. A putrid over/under of 38.5 with two teams lost in the fold. When it comes to projected low-scoring games like this in showdown contests, it can be a good strategy to lean on the most common factors in low-scoring games, running and defense! Let's get started with some options at CPT.
