Ever felt like understanding PFF Grades was like deciphering ancient runes? Well, put away the archeologist’s hat, because turning those cryptic PFF Grades into a winning NFL DFS lineup is more straightforward than a quarterback’s throw to an open receiver.
There’s an endless sea of talented NFL players to pick from when building your roster. Harnessing Pro Football Focus Player Grades can be the difference maker needed to get you into the winner’s circle. The video below gives you a basic playbook.
Pro members can exploit PFF grades right away by creating player filters in DFS Hub’s NFL Lineup Builder (screenshot below).
Simply load the PFF fields into the Player List, then sort or filter as smoothly as a star running back dodges tackles.
This example above shows wide receivers and three PFF grades:
- Each player’s PFF receiving grade
- PFF’s grade for the team’s passing attack
- PFF’s grade for the opposing team’s coverage.
The highlighted player in the screenshot above shows how PFF grades excel at finding low-cost, low-owned highly-skilled players.
Pro Tip: You don’t want to roster just any cheap, talented player with a high PFF grade. After all, a lot of skilled players see little playing time. The key is waiting for the right matchup or opportunity. For example, look for situations where another player of his position is injured or not performing well. It’s even better if your bargain bin player has seen a recent uptick in reps in practice or action on the field.
If you’re hungry for a meatier overview of how Pro Football Focus Player Grades can enhance your DraftKings or FanDuel entries, this PFF Grades guide is waiting on the sideline. Think of it as a personal coaching session, without the angry halftime speeches.
