If your phone or computer can play sounds, consider playing fantasy sounds: FF4W's weekly bargains/busts podcast.

Last week I hit 10 out of 13 and am hitting 62% for the season. These are generally tough, unconventional calls based on DFS pricing and consensus expert rankings. My biggest prediction this week is that Mark Ingram won't be an RB1. Huh? Crazy, right? That's the thing about unconventional predictions: they start out looking crazy, and they end up looking somewhere between crazy and prescient (or for naysayers, "lucky"). There are many good reasons not to roll with Ingram in DFS and to downplay expectations in regular leagues.
I'm also expecting bigger things than expected out of Baltimore this week (Joe Flacco, Mike Wallace, and Benjamin Watson).
If you have four minutes and 44 seconds, listen to it, and then feel free to challenge me on my assumptions. I've been wrong more than a third of the time, so whether or not I'm right this time, your push-back is both valid and needed. We all needed to get smarter about this stuff. No one has all the answers. But if the podcast gives you an edge, it's entirely worth producing week after week.
And I've been getting more questions about DSTs this week. Among those that might be available in your league--and which certainly are bargains in DFS--try the Patriots, Falcons, Cardinals, or Raiders. All four should perform better than expected. That said, the Ravens and Eagles should dominate, so those two are the clearest best bets.
On the flip side, I'd steer clear of the Panthers DST this week, despite being the consensus 7th ranked Week 12 DST among 100+ experts. The Jets should put up 17+ points, and the running game will be better than expected moving the chains and burning the clock.
