Location is to real estate as upside is to DFS in 2020.
Sure, you'd love to have a toilet, sturdy floors, and a roof that doesn't leak acid. But if it's a beachfront-location that's walking distance from the office, maybe peeing outside isn't so bad.
For NFL DFS, having a floor is good. If you can find it, that's a valuable asset.
It just doesn't really matter if they don't have the requisite upside.
With scoring up and bookmakers pushing totals through the roof, it's clear old norms just won't cut it anymore. And it's not as if upside wasn't a thing in the past.
