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 night games and making sure you get your lineups off to the right start each week.

This week’s Thursday night slate features a reeling Texans team – coming off a shellacking at the hands of Atlanta – against a Colts team, who by all rights should be 0-4. In other words: Not much has changed in the dreadful AFC South. This game has been assigned a low 44.5 over/under by Vegas, which aligns with my plan to mostly fade this game in DFS. Still, there is value to be had in certain spots.
