Scarface’s 2023 NFL Week 18 Intro:
Welcome, 4Deeps, to my weekly NFL GPP article. Time to pick up right where we left off last year, coming off my best NFL season and helping you guys win also. I want to welcome the new subs and let you know that it won’t be pretty every week, but the weeks that are, we will go straight to the top.
In this article, I will list my favorite plays at each position with a mini breakdown, followed by some game stack ideas we can use in GPPs, and my Core 4 building blocks for DraftKings and FanDuel. In keeping with the Scarface theme, I will conclude with my “Say Hello to My Little Friend” (Slate Edge Play), “Every Dog Has His Day” (Favorite Value Play), and “Say Goodnight to the Bad Guy” (Chalk Fade).
Also don’t forget to check out the Mayhem Minute section on Game Day for a more narrowed breakdown of my favorite plays at each position. I will be available in Discord (@Scarface521) Sunday Mornings for any questions you have about your lineups. 💪🏻
Thoughts on the Slate:
Week 18 in the NFL can be a shitshow. It’s all about avoiding the landmines and playing guys that actually have something to play for and hope it’s not a situation where starters get pulled early. Another thing about Week 18 in general is that I tend not to worry so much about correlating lineups because of how much value there is on the slate and I treat it more like an NBA slate where I plug value guys in and fit raw scorers around them. So I don’t think it’s necessary to try and stack a team and run it back with certain players, it’s pretty straightforward for me, I’ll be playing guys from teams that have something to play for or we know are out to hit some sort of key incentive. Also, just to point out that the FD main slate has the Bills and Miami game on it, where the DK one doesn’t. If you’re reading this article on Saturday, Healy and I will be doing a more in-depth breakdown live in Discord Sunday morning at 10am Eastern, so tune in!
