Welcome to the MagicSportsBreakdown!

For those who have followed my work at previous outlets, thank you for your continued support. For PFF readers who may not know me — which is likely most of you —  it’s great to be here. As a PFF subscriber myself, writing here is`an honor and a privilege.

This breakdown can be used for cash games, single-entry, three-max and high-dollar GPPs. For max-entering GPPs, use the recommended players to build your player pool (players are listed in order based on exposure). Unless otherwise noted, all pace and pass rates refer to “neutral situations” (+/-8 points).

How do I best use the Sunday A.M. Update?

The “Sunday A.M. Update” offers a game-by-game analysis of the DraftKings main slate, focusing on key injuries, advanced stats, trends and expected pace and playcalling.

I also provide my “optimal lineups” for DraftKings (“DK”). These lineups (“LUs”) consist of 7-of-9 players to comply with DraftKings regulations of not giving out complete teams. One is designed for GPPs, and one is for Cash Games.

In addition to the optimal lineups, I also share my personal “core” player pool (usually 16-20 players) that I’m rolling out in three-max (contests that allow three lineups per user) and other multi-entry GPPs (contests that allow as many as 150 lineups per user).

Pace, Playcalling, Stats & Trends

Sauce Gardner is out, and linebacker C.J. Mosley has been placed on IR.

Breece Hall played only 52% of offensive snaps last week due to a knee injury. He fumbled twice (losing one) and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. If Hall is out, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will fill in. Allen has been inefficient, ranking 59th in PFF’s rushing grade, 67th in yards per carry, and 57th in yards after contact per attempt (since Week 4).
