What is defense vs position (DvP) in DFS?
Defense vs position (DvP) is the fantasy points that a team gives up per game to each position: point guards, wide receivers, goalies, and the rest. DFS players pick the players whose opponent gives up the most to their position. DFS Studio has a free DvP page for the NBA, the NFL, and the NHL, on DraftKings and FanDuel scoring.
Where are the DvP pages?
Each page has a table for DraftKings and one for FanDuel: each team, its games, and the points it gave up per game to each position. Above them, it lists the best matchups of the next games: the players whose opponent gives up the most to their position.
How is it counted?
Each game of a final Classic slate counts. The points of the players of one position who played against a team add up for that game, and the page gives the average over the team's games. A player with two positions, such as PG/SG, counts at the first one. Each night's final slates add to the count.
How do DFS players use it?
A player who faces a soft defense for his position has a better chance at a big score. Early in a season each team has few games, so read the count of games beside each team. Use it with the Vegas implied team totals and the injury news.
