NFL DFS Playbook: Week 15 Tuesday Night Football
Published: Dec 21, 2021
Welcome to the NFL Week 15 Tuesday Night Football Slate!
For the first time this season, we’re dealing with games being pushed to Tuesday thanks to the COVID outbreak that is ripping through the NFL. And as a result, we’ve seen some disastrous play over the past few days. Both Monday Night Football games were a bust and that comes on the heels of one of the worst Sundays we’ve seen in quite some time. Does Tuesday buck the trend? I hardly think so. Of the four teams playing tonight, only one – The Philadelphia Eagles – haven’t been decimated by the pandemic and while that may be considered good news, there still may be a bit of a quarterback controversy there anyway.
This two-game Playbook format seemed to work nicely for everyone yesterday, so we’re going to continue with that again today.
If you are playing showdown slates, I have suggestions for the captain/MVP seat below and if there are some long-shot dart-throws to look at, I will have them listed there as well.
The DFS sites used to do a Mon-Thurs two-game slate which we used to write up each week, so if you’re a longtime subscriber, this basically will bring that style back. If you’re new, this is exactly what you would expect from a two-game Playbook.
Also, be sure to check with the Fantasy Alarm NFL Week 15 Reserve/COVID list as that will be continuously updated throughout the day.
Again, for short slates – whether it’s single-game or a two-game slate – your focus should be on GPP tournaments only. There is just too much overlap for cash games and given the COVID situation of at least two of these teams, there could be a lot of last-minute pivots as news comes rolling in. Having some skin in the game is great, but recognize the fact that you should not be over-investing in these contests. We all want to hit the million-dollar jackpots, but, as I’ve always said, these are more lottery tickets than they are a skill-based contest.
OK. Lecture over. Let’s get to tonight’s action.
