If you are a serious fantasy player, chances are you are playing daily fantasy sports (DFS). It is without a doubt the next big thing in the industry and it has created a significant opportunity to make money for those who know what they are doing.

Daily fantasy operates under a budget, so the relative value a player offers at his respective price is just as important as his raw statistical production when constructing lineups. PFF Fantasy offers many great DFS resources. I’ll be focusing on Thursday games and making sure you get your lineups off to the right start each week.

This week’s matchup has been given a 47.0 point over/under by Las Vegas, good for fourth highest in the league. The Packers are favored by 3 over the Lions, giving them the fifth highest implied team total at 25.0 while Detroit is in the bottom half of the league with 22.0. Especially with it being played indoors, this is a game you are going to want exposure to in some spots.
