DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 15

Last week, this article continued to crush from a betting perspective, and although it did not hit at our normal season average from a DFS perspective at 65-70%, it improved a lot from last week and came in at 60% (18/30). We did not hit on our cover player article, dropping that hit rate down to 9/14 (64%). However, I did go on Armando Marsals’ livestream last Sunday, and beat the chest on plays listed in this article like DK Metcalf and Puka Nacua, and both of those plays came up big. It’s a good reminder that confidence levels in certain players can strengthen or weaken the closer and closer we get to lock, and it doesn’t hurt to get the most up-to-date opinion on any of these plays in the Discord as we approach lock. This is the last week before we start to see Saturday games in the NFL and the holidays hit, so we basically have the last normal slate of the season, with 13 total games, including five games in the afternoon and eight games on the early slate. The goal of this article is to provide some insight and transparency into my DFS & betting process and approach leading up to an NFL slate, along with picks and plays that I’ve landed on for this week in result. Generally, my goal for the season is to provide DFS plays that hit at a 65-70% clip, and we are just about doing that. Any given week, the approach and strategy may adjust, depending on what the slate looks like and how I want to attack it. Let’s dive into preparation for this week and see how we are attacking Week 15!

UFL DFS Week 10 Breakdown

UFL DFS Week 10 Breakdown

We are now approaching the halfway point in the UFL, and like typical spring-league fashion, that has produced a lot of “trades” (sarcasm hinted in the parentheses) as the league shows a clear intent of keeping everyone competitive and giving new faces a shot, staying on brand with being the league of opportunity. This article will break down all four upcoming games, highlighting what we think will happen, the best plays per game, the best plays on the slate and overall strategy.

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Thursday’s Strike Zone

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Thursday’s Strike Zone

If you have followed me in the past, you know I identify the best plays of the day for DFS, seasonal, and now strikeout props based on who is working home plate that day. The article will be a little different this year, as Swish Analytics no longer provides the stats I once used. Instead, I’m focusing strictly on umpire tendencies and team strikeout profiles to identify the best strikeout prop environments on the slate. We will highlight pitchers worth targeting in seasonal fantasy baseball formats, point out strong DFS plays, and identify strikeout props that may present value. If a game is not listed, there was no meaningful umpire edge worth targeting… You need a subscription to access this content.
