TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3u-0.5u for boosts and such), hit parlays, H+R+R parlays
Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value.

Oh Gunnar … how you hate me. Awesome every time I don’t use you. Terrible every time I do. Gonna be a warm humid day here in the mid-South, so I’m looking for some offense today for both teams.
