I classify myself as a cash game player when it comes to Daily Fantasy Sports. I personally tend to stick to multiple head-to-head entires each week.
In my experience, I feel that playing head-to-head contests over 50/50 or double-up contests tends to yield a better return on investment in cases where my lineup in any given week does not perform well. When my lineup does not perform well, I would likely not win any 50/50 or double-up contest as my lineup would always fall under the 50th percentile of lineup scores. Head-to-head contests, on the other hand, I may run into a few lineups just as bad as mine and salvage a couple losses there. The flip side to playing like this: If my lineup does perform above the 50th percentile I would likely win 100 percent of 50/50 contests, whereas it is a guarantee that head-to-head contests would yield opponents that will score better and I would not take 100 percent of the contests I enter.
My goal here is to share my result with everyone. I will try to post this every week whether I win or lose (hopefully more win than lose).

Each week in NFL DFS has its own unique story. This week featured two games in particular that had shootout potential in the Patriots@Saints and Packers@Falcons. On top of that, we had some seemingly great stackable games that can create a lot of distinctive lineups in GPP's.
For me, I wanted to see how much exposure I could get to those projected shootouts and high scoring team totals as hard as it would be to stack the high salaries.
