Footclan, we made it to Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season! Week 1 is in the books, and now it’s time to build on what we learned and take advantage of some fresh insights. As a former Milly Maker winner, my goal is to provide you with strategies that can help you gain that all-important edge in DraftKings tournaments. Whether it’s identifying under-the-radar plays or pivoting from chalk, I’m here to guide you toward that massive win.
Week 2 presents a special opportunity: overreactions from Week 1. Many DFS players will jump to conclusions based on just one game, inflating ownership on some players while others who disappointed may fly under the radar. This is where we can gain an edge — targeting talented players or offenses who had quiet debuts or weren’t fully unleashed yet. It’s also important to recognize how usage trends emerged in Week 1, giving us clearer signals on how teams plan to deploy their key weapons. Let’s capitalize on that and dominate Week 2!
Tournament Takes
Each week I’ll discuss my favorite stacks to utilize in large-field tournaments, ways to gain leverage on the field, and any other slate-specific thoughts.
Slate-Specific Thoughts
Game of the Week – Buccaneers @ Lions (DET -7.5, O/U 51.5)
In an NFC showdown this Sunday, Baker Mayfield’s Bucs head to Detroit to take on Jared Goff and the Lions. Last season, Detroit beat Tampa twice — once in the regular season and again in the playoffs — with Goff racking up 640 yards and four TDs across both games. Tampa’s blitz-heavy defense was a liability against the pass last year, and with Antoine Winfield Jr. and two other key starters on defense out, they’re vulnerable again this week. Expect Goff and the Lions’ offense to take full advantage. The tricky part with Detroit’s offense is figuring out which of the pieces you want in your lineup. The Lions have the highest projected total on the slate, so you should be at least exploring your options here.
