NFL DFS: Jarrett Stidham is the high-risk, high-reward play - ESPN

Every week of the playoffs we lose more and more players from the DFS pool. That inherently makes it harder to differentiate ourselves from others in tournament lineups. If this is your first time playing daily fantasy at this stage of the game, check out Mike Clay's Draft Kings DFS cheat sheet. It's perfect for cash lineups (playing head-to-head or in a contest where the top half of entries share the prize pool equally) and finding nice high-floor plays. In those lineups, look for the safest and strongest possible plays of the week, high-floor options that also offer good value based on their price and matchup. There's no need to get cute.

If you're entering a tournament — which can feature tens of thousands of participants — you're trying to find the right punt play that hardly anyone else will have to go along with the rest of your high-floor lineup. Maybe you think Konata Mumpfield is going to smash this week — he's unlikely to be rostered in many leagues because he's such a big dart throw — but if you chose him and he hits, you've found a way to differentiate yourself from everyone else.

With that being said, I'm looking at using a little bit of correlation while also trying to hit on the big names that I think will produce this week. There's one, super-obvious smash play this week in Kenneth Walker III, given Zach Charbonnet's recent injury. Walker will be one of the chalkiest lineup decisions of the week. He'll factor into all of my lineups as we look at roster construction, but let's start where we usually do, with the QB position.
