I’ll find a time to talk through the builds this week, fam!
The Bengals have faced the second fewest pass attempts in the NFL.
The Bengals have allowed the second most running back receptions in the NFL.
Imagine if they were set to play a pass-heavy team that likes passing to the running back and is missing one of its top two receivers.

Fam & NFL Edge loyalists:
It has been a pleasure and an honor serving you this year.
I’m fortunate to do what I do for a living.
Much love. I’m off to save Tibet.

Anyone on Twitter?
Because I have a few games from the NFL Edge ready to go up...just as soon as I get the go-ahead that OWS Collective is fully ready to push live.
Stay tuned.
Today is a good day...
OWS fam:
Two final (major) updates still coming.
This week: adding a new menu that will make navigation to ancillary content and tools a whole lot easier.
Next week: clickable player cards (with advanced metrics) will show up on players' names in the NFL Edge!
If someone let me pay them $39 to do 90% of my NFL research for me every week for the entire season (while also providing ownership projections, player tiers, "square table" pod, & more), I would be on that in an instant.
Week 1 goes live tomorrow.

We launched OWS in 2018 w preseason content from Silva, the "Square Table" pod w Levitan & me, & all other content, site maintenance, etc. provided by me (😂).
Over the last half-decade, the team has grown, the vision has grown, and the community has grown dramatically.
I'm
Wow.
Just wow.
Announcement coming tomorrow. (Look for Lineup Builder page in Edge+ menu.)

Are all up early on One Week Season.
Week 4. Let's get it!!!
(P.S. Preliminary Ownership %s are up as well!)
Whoa.
OWS Fam - just had a call with EV Analytics, hammering out this GPP ceiling tool they're building for the site. Going to be sick. Super simple; ridiculously useful.
Man, I love this time of year...
The wait is almost over! Christmas is almost here...
At 7:00 Eastern, the first game of the final preseason slate will kick off.
At 7:01, One Week Season will roll over to Regular Season View...and the Week 1 NFL Edge will go live!
#FlyThePennant
Every week during football season, I write the majority of the NFL Edge on Wednesday. It is the most challenging work day of the week - but I swear, there are times when I hope the day won't end.
#LoveIt

Uncovering some awesome stuff this week.
Can hardly wait to share...
If you have read my content in the past, I want to be honest with you and just let you know that I am really, tremendously proud of what we have built for you this year on One Week Season.
I hope you’ll have a look.

Growing up, I got to open my stocking on Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas Eve. The NFL Edge is starting...
:: Rams at Panthers
:: Redskins at Eagles
:: Bills at Jets
:: Falcons at Vikings
:: Chiefs at Jaguars
+ OWS Collective
Let's go!!!!
Well.
Probably a bit of a "structure" problem that others have spent six months getting this solved and I was able to get this solved in one day...
But nevertheless: shoutout to DraftKings support.
JM has been freed!

Still working hard over here (on two hours of sleep!) to make sure everything is as perfect as it can be. But I gotta tell you...
The suspense is killing me.
So freaking stoked.

Odd day.
Highest-owned QB on my end: Howell.
Highest-owned RB: Kamara (Breece my 3rd highest-owned).
Highest-owned WR: AJB.
Highest-owned TE: Kittle.
Overweight Ja’Marr, CeeDee, Dotson, Shaheed.
End result: down 40% 😂
Shoutout to ptfd51 for taking down 1st in the Slant! 5
Still six games left to write. But for anyone still awake and looking for something to do: I'm pushing the first 10 games out a little early.
Let's get it!
Core roster: Set.
No A.B. Decided it's not worth the risk in cash games and smaller-field tourneys. As long as
@KevinRothWx
can limit the 30 MPH gusts, though (please? - thanks), he still carries tourney upside.
Time to crush some large-field tourney rosters.

Winning in DFS requires more than just “knowing who the good players are.” It takes understanding how to optimize your play, and how to maximize your profit.
Here are 10 things on my mind heading into the 2018 season.

Hot off the press: The Week 2 NFL Edge!!!!
16 games, broken down from top to bottom.
Take this week seriously, fam. Find your edge.
I'll see you at the top of the leaderboards on Sunday.
Good coaches scheme good players into beneficial matchups.
Against the slot coverage of Chris Harris Jr last week, PIT played JuJu in the slot a season-low 19 times & played him on the perimeter a season-high 47 times. He went 2-9-0 vs Harris Jr. He went 7-144-1 vs Bradley Roby.
I don’t know if the NFL will go for this, BUT…
There’s been a motion filed requesting that from this point forward, Jonathan Taylor’s first half stats will simply be doubled, and his second half stats will be thrown out.
Will be cool if it goes through.
Only seven players had more targets than Christian McCaffrey today. He also had 19 carries.
_____________________
Only one player had more targets today than Evan Engram.
_____________________
That player was Jamison Crowder. Who had 17 targets.
Five different people have told me how they used the NFL Edge the week they won the Millionaire Maker.
The NFL Edge is free Week 1, every year.
Seriously. Don't play this week at a disadvantage.

Now, it all makes sense 😂
Incredible
The strangest stat I've uncovered this week:
Lamar Jackson is in his sixth NFL season.
The Steelers are in his division.
This week, he will be starting only his fourth career regular season game against them.
OWS :: Angles Pod
It's here!
The Angles podcast takes a DFS-focused look at player pools and roster construction for both small- and large-field play.
Like...legitimately, I am so excited for this podcast this year.
Let's go!!!!
All right, fam. Diffuser going. Salt lamp on. Earplugs in. Connections to the outside world turned off. About to build some Week 1 tourney lineups.
Let’s go!!!!
If you have to fly out of state in order to reserve DraftKings lineups, there are certainly worse places to go.
Shoutout to the Oakland airport.
#OregonDFSLife
Not a bad office view.
DraftKings entries for Week 7 reserved.
Time to fly back to Oregon.
Really looking forward to this week's slate. It's incredibly unique, with a lot of fun things to sort through.

RB presents unique components.

3 second-place finishes on my end 😂 (Chop Block Week 1 // Slant Week 2 // Double Spy Week 4).
Thankfully grabbed my first 1st place this week as well (Chop Block).
Keep knocking on the door, OWS Fam
Big weeks coming.
Looking forward to shouting out some of the big
Judging your weekend based solely on results would be like thinking poker is only about “Who gets the best cards.”
Be willing to call a poor-performing play a good play — if it was a good play.
And be willing call your roster highlight a bad play — if it was a bad play.
Carolina is the only team in the NFL that has allowed as many receiving touchdowns to TEs as to WRs. It's not even close. They are tied for fewest WR touchdowns allowed, while only one team has allowed more touchdowns to TEs.
OWS with 6 of the top 10 spots in the Slant, from 5 different users.
3 Slant take-downs this year for the OWS Fam 🔥
First in the Flea Flicker as well 👀
“Josh Allen sux. 4 turnovers OMG.”
— seemingly every sports media outlet.
3 of those turnovers ::
• botched snap that Morse said was his fault
• low pass to Beasley that should have been caught; popped into the air
• pass swatted at the line

@JeffKCollins

OWS next???
We had a 6th & 15th place finish Week 1!!
We should have a pod up late-week w 6th place: how he used Angles Pod // Player Grid // Edge to build.
How’d we do, Fam!?
I put 7.8% of rosters in top 2% of the Wildcat.
38.5% in the top 20%.
& as you know...
...that doesn’t matter.
What matters is Process.
With that in mind: I’ll have an “Assess The Process” Roster Block review at top of the Edge on Tuesday.
See you there!

Best Ball player
@TodfromPa
put together a really cool piece for the site this week :: covering his journey to becoming a winning DFS player, and the process that helped him get there. 27 minute listen. Well worth the time.
OWS Fam ::
Four Main Slate games are up early this week!
:: Seahawks "at" Raiders
:: Steelers at Bengals
:: Ravens at Titans
:: Jaguars at Cowboys
A few more games will go up throughout the evening. The rest of the slate will be up by morning!
People who don’t watch games and just look at numbers think Josh Allen isn’t good, so you shouldn’t roster him.
He probably isn’t good. Who cares. There’s a reason he made us so much $ down the stretch last year. DFS is about so much more than just “who’s good.”
OWS Fam :: Plenty of news today. I’m going to dig into some things this afternoon, chat with
@adamlevitan
this evening on the Square Table, and drop in some updates to the article at the end of the day.
Let’s get it!
DFS is all about finding and hammering edges.
This is a premium subscription site that is free Week 1.
That's an edge.
It's crazy to me that there are people who don't hammer things like this.
Lawd, have mercy!
We just pushed color-coding on the Key Matchups live as well. Sick!
(Haha - it's silly how much I'm enjoying doing my own research on this platform 😂)
