Every week
Weekly NFL DFS picks
Weekly DraftKings NFL picks for Showdown and Classic slates. The public teaser is the matchup and the cash-game angle. Lineups and results are for subscribers.
Weekly picks notes are the slate-by-slate companion to the strategy pages. Each one names the matchup and the cash-game angle in the free intro. The build we are actually using, and the result after lock, sit under the paywall.
Showdown double-ups and Classic cash games can share a week. They get separate notes when the decision is different. Search the Showdown strategy hub for the standing rules, and the post-mortem hub for what those rules did after the game.
Questions
Are the weekly DraftKings picks free?
The matchup and the headline angle are free. The lineup and our results are part of a DraftEdge.io subscription and are omitted from the public page.
