Just like most games, daily fantasy football is a game that can be won with any number of strategies. In poker, you can take an aggressive approach or conservative, analytical or gut. In chess, you can go on the offensive or the defensive. In Trivial Pursuit, you can … well, you can answer questions. That one isn’t a great example.

DFS strategies are more varied. Do you want to start with the guys you absolutely, positively want to have in your lineup and build around them? That works. Do you want to cross off the guys you want no part of? Sure. Maybe you want to decide on some teammates to stack, or low-owned players to target, or find your savings first. Each of these is viable, and often they are viable in tandem.

Whatever approach you choose, our DFS writers have you covered. Below is a quick-hit version of our best weekly DFS advice. Click through to each piece for more information, but in a pinch, you can choose a strategy and go. And be sure to study up through our DFS Pro Optimizer tool. Do all that, and you’ll stay ahead of all those people who are learning more every week.

And then at the bottom, you’ll find links to the rest of our Week 9 DFS content. Good luck.
