Welcome back to the DFS Army’s flagship NFL podcast “Geek’s Vegas Lines for Fanduel and Draftkings” where Kevin aka “The Football Geek” and yours truly, Choppodong, dive in to break down each and every game on the NFL slate. Kevin is the 5-star general in the DFS Army and also top ranked on Rotogrinders in both NFL and MMA. And, I’m your lovable host and chalk eater specializing in teaching our newer members the fundamentals of player selection, contest selection, and bankroll management. Together, Kevin and I team up each and every week of the NFL season to point you in the right direction when it comes to gameflow, trends, analysis, and relevant statistics from both a cash and tournament perspective.
We both also go by the same names in the Army and out on Twitter. Kevin’s handle is @Ffootballgeek, and I am @Choppodong. Feel free to give us a follow. And, don’t forget about the website twitter of @dfsarmy for Army news and notes.

Week 3 Rewind
Not the greatest week for the industry, but the Army still eeked out some gains. While the chalk largely imploded, we were able to keep competitive with plays like Le’Veon Bell and Kareem Hunt forming many of our cores. A couple of our members posted really nice gains. Our own @DFSnDonuts posted a nice lineup which turned $80 into over $600. So, it wasn’t all doom and gloom inside our happy little community of soldiers. You just had to structure your contests correctly and hit the right mix of plays.
Another sweet near takedown in the Sunday Million by @wilsonhauntsyou….
Our community is not normal. We are not competitors. We are friends, DFS nerds, and a tight-knit community that roots for our own above ourselves. If that’s you, it would behoove you to join us instead of sitting out in Alonesburgh or Procrastinationtown.

Week 4 NFL Games to Accompany the Podcast
- Chicago isn’t very good, but Green Bay sort of is. Do we trust the short week?
- Not stacking this one, but not fading it either. Slate, in general, is attractive.
- Ajayi crapped in a cherry matchup and his knee is apparently sore. News or noise?
- Big total. We should focus on this game in all formats if playing a slate containing it.
- I heard a lot of buzz early week on Cam and how NE allows points to QBs. If there’s a spot to play Cam, it’s here. Do we?
- NE may not have to try to hard in this one. Brady is at his best when coming from behind in 4th quarters.
- Are the Rams a thing? Or, did they just beat up on crappy teams making us wonder?
- Zeke week? Ezekiel Elliott will be chalk.
Read: Play Draft Tips for H2H Contests
- Still no line. Care to take a guess?
- Thielen or Diggs? Thielen may be drawing a bad cornerback.
- Is DeShone Watson playable?
- DeAndre Hopkins is a target machine again.
- I know the Jets are green, but sheesh….look at all that DVP!
- All the Leonard Fournette, and Allen Hurns has the better matchup this week.
- Does A.J. Green go back to back with good weeks?
- Joe Mixon might be high owned. Isiah Crowell is also a little sneaky, but avoid Browns vs Bengals D.

- Ben Roethlisberger on the road again and facing a good defense to boot. GPP worthy? Or, dumb as hell?
- Pretty gross game top to bottom.
- LeSean McCoy is a pass catching back. And, Tyrod Taylor is cheap.
- Devonta Freeman has good home splits.
- ODell Beckham or Mike Evans? Gun to your head.
- Running backs, in this one, are horrible.
- Straight pick’em out of Vegas. Do we trust Wendell Smallwood gets all the work?
- Keenan Allen always seems overlooked.
Read: GPP Pivots and Plays for Week 4
- Huge road dog, how safe is Carlos Hyde? I see him hitting value projections industry wide this week.
- Back to the Larry Fitzgerald well. Jaron Brown is also cheaper than J.J. Nelson for a very similar player.
- I feel Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper are priced pretty high now. I feel Emmanuel Sanders and DeMaryius Thomas are still solid bargains.
- Don’t sleep on Trevor Siemien.
- Does Seattle finally get on track? If not now, freakin when?
- A game in which SEA should just destroy IND.
- Not on the main, but finally a MNF game I want to watch. Can Kareem Hunt break off yet another huge run?
- Chris Thompson, like Hunt, needs those big plays to justify any value at this price.
