Common NFL DFS scenarios
TL;DR summary
NFL DFS value is measured by Points Per Dollar (PPD). In NFL, target 2.5+ PPD at most positions. QBs often have lower PPD (2.2-2.5) due to salary premium but provide consistency. RBs and WRs with 3.0+ PPD are excellent values. TE is a scarce position - premium TEs at 2.3+ PPD are worth paying up for.
Important things to know
Common NFL DFS questions
QB: 2.4+ PPD (lower threshold due to salary premium). RB: 2.5+ PPD for values, 3.0+ excellent. WR: 2.5+ PPD standard, 3.0+ excellent. TE: 2.3+ PPD is good due to position scarcity. DST: 2.5+ PPD with matchup consideration.
In cash games, paying up for bellcow RBs (high floor, consistent volume) is often worth the lower PPD. In GPPs, value RBs with upside let you fit more studs elsewhere. Balance based on format and confidence in your studs.
QBs have consistent scoring but lower PPD due to high salaries. A QB at 2.5 PPD is excellent value. Consider game environment (Vegas total, pace), rushing upside, and stack potential with their pass-catchers.
Yes, in the right situations. Elite TEs (Kelce, Andrews tier) provide significant edge over the field due to position scarcity. The gap between TE1 and TE10 is huge. Paying up for premium TE at 2.3+ PPD is often optimal.
Game script impacts volume. Favored teams = more RB touches. Underdogs = more pass attempts. High totals = more scoring opportunity. Consider implied team totals and spread when evaluating player value.
