First, what is a fade in DFS?
Very simple – It is when you leave a very popular player out of your lineup. For example, at the beginning of the 2015 season Eddie Lacy was very popular and was expected to give us a lot of fantasy points. Well, it has not worked out that way. Let’s say you knew Lacy was playing hurt. Why use him? Fade him instead while the public is using him heavily. This gives you the real advantage.
