About this picture:  I reside in Manhattan Beach, but grew up in Manhattan, NYC – hence a NY Giants fan.  When my son was in pre-school – every year there’s an auction party at someone’s mansion (not me) and since there are alot of current and former NFL players that live here – this was up for bid and to my surprise the bids were very low – under $200 for a Thursday Night Football that is autographed by some great players and NFL Network Announcers. Sorry, not for sale.

If you don’t have time to download our DFS reports – below you will find the reports for your view.

As you know by now, our DFS stats are based on the “AVERAGE”, meaning our stats are based on the averages that team’s offense gets, defense gives up and the distribution for that player. 

Our DraftKings & Fan Duel strategy revolves around a meticulous breakdown of the game, delving deep into every crucial statistical aspect. With our comprehensive analysis, we meticulously dissect the match to uncover essential statistics that drive success in daily fantasy football. From examining offensive and defensive rankings to scrutinizing pass game, run game, receiving, and scoring performances, our strategy leaves no stone unturned. By focusing on these key metrics, we empower you to make informed decisions when constructing your winning lineup.

RANK REPORT:

The Rank Variance Report: Gain the Competitive Edge in Daily Fantasy Football. Our comprehensive Rank Variance Report is your essential starting point for strategic lineup decisions. Explore the rankings of the home team’s offense against the visiting team’s defense, and vice versa. With a focus on variance, we analyze the overall offense ranking versus the defense’s ranking, and that’s just the beginning. Our in-depth breakdown covers key aspects of the game, including pass game, run game, receiving, and scoring rankings. Identify the highest variance and strategically draft players for your lineup against the opposing defense. To give you a glimpse, we’ve provided a sample report in PDF format below: DFS Stats Rank Variance Report.

The Vairance Report is just “Advanced Analysitcs” or Stats as it shows you the yard variance between the offense and what that defense gives up – yes of course what that defense averages. In addition, we show you the rank variance as well as game score predictions from Las Vegas and what we predict as the score.

PLAYER USAGE % REPORT

Understanding the player distribution/usage percentage is of utmost importance in daily fantasy football as it allows you to make data-driven decisions backed by thorough stats and analysis. By assessing the player usage percentage, you can gauge the player’s usage in the Run, Receiving and Scoring phases of the game.

This knowledge empowers you to make informed projections and strategic choices when constructing your lineup. By incorporating player usage data into your analysis, you can identify trends, uncover undervalued players, and optimize your roster composition for daily fantasy football success.

DOUBLE DUTY PLAYER USAGE % REPORT

Our self-proclaimed “Best Stats For DFS” Report – the Double Duty report is the “Grand Daddy Of Them All”.  This amazing report is part of our DraftKings and FanDuel strategy to the CORE.  it shows you which players have usage in the Run and Receiving phase of the game, including the QB, and WR as it is mainly RB’s that have Double Duty use, but if a WR has Run phase usage, we capture that or a TE such as Kelcey or OBJ throwing a pass or the Cheetah playing RB – not new, but we capture that as well.

GAME PREDICTIONS REPORT

No matter where you’re playing DFS, DraftKings or Fanduel or the prize – Showdown, A.K.A Captain’s Mode or for the Big Prize, you need predictions.  Since our DFS strategy for DraftKings or FanDuel is based on ‘AVERAGE” team and player performance, we take what the Defense gives up in total yards, then we break those yards down by each phase of the game – Pass, Run, Receiving, Yards After the Catch and we do the same for the Scoring phase to come up with our Game Predictions.

QB GAME PREDICTIONS REPORT

Your chances at winning in Daily Fantasy Football starts with the QB. The most important phase of an NFL Football Game is the passing game aka, QB.  Since our DFS strategy for DraftKings or FanDuel is based on ‘AVERAGE” team and QB performance, we take what the Defense gives up in total yards, then we break those yards down by each phase of the game – Pass, Run, Receiving, Yards After the Catch and we do the same for the Scoring phase to come up with our Game Predictions.

DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT

What I’ve found in the numerous years of playing on DraftKings and FanDuel is that you have to REMOVE the ‘HUMAN FACTOR” – in other words your emotions.  Daily Fantasy Football has made the NFL game more and much more interesting, fun and interactive.  You watch every NFL game and look at the player performance stats since you know who you drafted for your Showdown or Big Prize.

Our Draft Recommendations Report is meant to take that Human Factor or emotions out of your DraftKings or FanDuel draft.  It recommends which team to draft a QB, RB, WR or TE from as well as Defense and Offenece based on what that defense gives up in total yards and scoring.

PPR PREDCITIONS REPORT

PPR stands for Points Per Reception, which has become a tag for the player you choose to draft, no matter if they are a RB, a WR or TE.  yes, WR’s receive the most PPR’s, so do some TE’s and this is why our Double Duty Report becomes very important – you want to draft RB’s that have a high usage in the Receiving phase of the game.

Our PPR Report provides you with PPR predictions based on what that player averages for their PLAYER USAGE PERCENTAGE and what the defense gives up for each phase of the game including Passing, Receiving, Running and Scoring.

To help you draft the best possible lineup for your Monday Night Football DFS game on DraftKings or FanDuel, we bring you all the stats, analysis and predictions you will need.

This week’s Thursday Night Football matchup features an exciting clash between the Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Detroit Lions.

Here is a comprehensive summary of our DFS stats, expert analysis, and accurate predictions for this highly anticipated NFL matchup:

Kansas City Chiefs: As reigning Super Bowl Champions, the Chiefs bring their high-powered offense and formidable defense to the field.

Kansas City Chiefs  New Players this season and players they are possibly meant to replace.

Detroit Lions: The Lions, led by their talented roster, are determined to challenge the Chiefs’ dominance.

Detroit Lions New Players this season and players they are possibly meant to replace.

NFL Matchup: A detailed breakdown of the key stats and factors that will influence the game’s outcome including Rank & Yardage Variance, 

As mentioned, our DraftKings, and FanDuel strategy includes looking at the Rank Variance of each phase of the game for that offense and defense.

This week’s NFL opening day matchup shows that the following:

Detroit Offense vs. Kansas City Defense:  the advantage that the Lions have is a 17 point rank advantage in the receiving game, which translates to an 8 point rank advantage in the passing game.   Now, you have to look at the draft class for the Chiefs as their draft class for 2023 and players coming in include several defensive players.

The Kansas City Chiefs Offense Vs. the Detroit Lions Defense:  The Chiefs have a lot of advantage areas vs the Lions defense.  In the Pass phase of the game, they have an 11 point Rank Variance advantage, a 10 point in the Run game, a 29 point in the Receiving phase of the game.

The rank variances in the Pass and Receiving phase of the game is why we think this game will be a high scoring game.  

Vegas odds have this game at a total points of 54 and our data model predicts a 50 point game.

DFS Stats: Precise statistics to help you make informed decisions when building your Daily Fantasy Football lineup.

Game Predictions: Gain an edge with our reliable predictions on player performances, scores, and potential game-changers.

Vegas odds have this game at a total points of 54 and our data model predicts a 50 point game.

We expect this game to be a shootout – even though the Chiefs have drafted defensive players, it’ll still be a shootout.

Fantasy Football Points Predictions: We provide valuable predictions for players in Point-Per-Reception (PPR) leagues, helping you strategize and optimize your fantasy football lineups based on their expected receptions.

Our daily fantasy football model shows a high scoring game with both QB’s scoring a high FFP.  For Mr. Mahomes we predict 21 fantasy football points (FFP) and that does not include this typical run yardage (14.63% usage in the run game).  For Mr. Goff, we show a whopping 33 FPP, but remember this shows the old Chiefs Defense and a 6% run usage %.

Travis will be his typical menace to a defense, look out for Detroit’s new TE, Sam LaPorta to have a decent outing as he is ultimately replacing TJ Hockerson.

Rashee Rice the Chief’s rookie WR should have a decent outing and we predict a 17.50% usage or better as he is replacing Juju Smith Shuster.

Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery should have great usage as they are replacing Jamaal Williams who had a 54.4% usage percentage in the run game and 3.16% in the receiving game and D’Andre Swift who had a 20.63% usage in the Run game and 12.63% in the receiving game.

Self-Proclaimed Expert Game Analysis: Our team of experts dissects player performances and team dynamics for strategic gameplay.

We will try our best and not be your typical Monday Morning QB, so we will put our predictions and game expectations right here for all to see and for us to refer back to once the game is over.

Now, the opening game of the season is tricky, there are players coming in, you have to account for those that either retired or left for another team and then of course are the rookies.  Some of these rookies will replace players that have left and will make an impact right away, but then there are others that will be backups and will need further development equating to one or two or maybe a low usage percentage of less than 5%.

Even though the Chiefs have made great stride in drafting and signing up defensive players, we still are predicting a shootout – Mr. Mahomes and Mr. Goff are competitors, talented and play to win.

The running game is predicted to be minimal.  Our stats (remember we use the average method) predictions show that the Chiefs can get 118 run yards and the Lions just 87 run yards.

The receiving game phase predictions show a whopping 300+ yards for the Lions and 236+ for the Chiefs – we know, we know – how is that possible.  Look at the rank variance and see for yourself.

Scoring, you saw the Vegas odds, the Chiefs are favorites, but it’ll be a close one – Total 4 TD’s for the Lions -1 in the run game and 3 for the Chiefs. Game score predictions – Lions 52.25 – Chiefs 32.0  

Good Luck on your Daily Fantasy Football contest and remember no matter if you play on DraftKings or FanDuel or any other Daily Fantasy Football platform, we have stats, analysis and predictions that are specific to DFS.
