The 2020 NFL DFS season is quickly coming to a close, with our last true “main slate” this weekend in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

We’ve got a four-game main slate in addition to two smaller slates on Saturday and Sunday, which will ensure that our butts will remain glued to our couches in hopes of taking down a huge GPP tournament.

This article will follow a similar format to my weekly start em’ or sit em’ columns, though the focus will shift toward DFS. I'll provide guidance on players DFS enthusiasts should be looking to lock into several lineups and players who should be faded due to inflated salary or shaky situations.
