Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is in my player pool that weekend for DFS.
This article series covers exactly that.
Every week, I will go through the players I am targeting to play in DFS for all games, tournaments, and game stacks.
The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.

One of my favorite ways to play DFS from a tournament stance is small-field, single-to-five-max entry games with 5K or smaller fields.
Both sites even offer these games with fewer than 100 entries (albeit at a higher cost of entry) if you want to go after a small field.
In these contests, my approach is to go with full-game stacks.
You lose a lot of weeks, but if you get the game right, you gain a big advantage.
Cashing in one of these over an 18-week season can make your entire year.
With the reduced number of entries, you can also eat some chalky game stacks because we are going further in the overall game stack than our opponents likely will.
These are the games I am circling for those tournaments in Week 13, but you can also tie these games into your stacks for other tournaments.
I will analyze the player selections and game writeups, but for a detailed breakdown of the players and games, check out the Week 13 Worksheet.
Eagles at Ravens
This matchup has the highest game total (51 points).
The only issue with attempting to build a game stack around this game is that just about everyone is at the top shelf of pricing.
A short stack of Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown will run 32% of your salary on DraftKings and 30% on FanDuel.
If you want to add a correlated Derrick Henry to that pair, you are at 47.6% on DraftKings and 45% on FanDuel.
Going in the other direction, Lamar Jackson, paired with Zay Flowers and bringing back Saquon Barkley, will run you 45.4% on DraftKings and 41.7% on FanDuel.
There are cheap pieces on this slate to get to some of those stacks if they have an apex outcome.
Other pieces are available to build here with some appeal in DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Rashod Bateman.
