Week 4 finishes up with a matchup straight out of the NFC South as the Atlanta Falcons head to the bayou to take on the New Orleans Saints. This game serves the 20 th

We turn the page to another week as the NFL DFS Week 5 DST picks preview the top plays for the Sunday main slate. Last week was a bit of an odd one for this position. It didn’t feel like there was any one particular defense that really stood out with a big game. The New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks both returned double-digit fantasy points, but neither popped for a slate-breaking score.

The NASCAR Cup Series kicks off the second half of the playoff schedule at the home of NASCAR, Charlotte Motor Speedway. This is usually the portion of the playoff schedule that sees the “Roval” get some action. But for the first time in a few years, NASCAR is abandoning the road course in favor of the oval. And truthfully, the Roval wasn’t a particularly great race so a second race on Charlotte’s oval is a blessing.

We close out Week 5 with a matchup that could possibly be a Super Bowl preview featuring the Buffalo Bills heading to Southern California for a primetime matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. And it’s not just that these two teams that are contenders to win their respective conferences. SoFi Stadium will host the Super Bowl next February so it’s entirely possible these two teams meet in the same location just four months from now for the biggest game of the year.

It’s been a BIG week for the FAmily as we’ve had some nice DFS results so early in the season. Just this past Sunday, frequent Discord contributor Iceethruu took home over $2,000 across a few different slates on DraftKings. Then the following night he split a big takedown for the Monday Night Football Showdown slate to walk away with another $12,500.

We close out Week 6 with another NFC matchup in primetime as the Washington Commanders head West to take on the San Francisco 49ers. The Washington Commanders, while having only one win through five games, still have a chance to get back into the mix in the NFC East if they can surprise everybody with a win.

Week 7 is here, and it’s awfully hard to believe we’re already nearing the halfway point of the 2026 NFL season. But this week delivers another 10-game main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. We do get the blitz-heavy Minnesota Vikings back from their Bye week in addition to the Miami Dolphins offense, which is a team we typically deploy DST’s against to help our NFL DFS lineups.

After winning five of the first nine races this season, Tyler Reddick hit a dry spell for about six months. However, he broke through last week with a shocking win at Phoenix Raceway. The surprise mostly comes from the fact that the short, flat tracks are not his strength. But he came through with a big performance, and the win has him within 60 points of Kyle Larson’s lead for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship.

Let’s finish up Week 7 with another NFL DFS Monday Night Football Playbook with a division matchup featuring two contenders from the NFC East. The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles both enter this game at 2-4 and a loss would make the loser’s playoff chances a bit bleaker.
