From my own experience, poker and DFS involve about the same level of skill and study to be consistently profitable. DFS just scales more easily. You said, "In poker you play the player, not the hand. But in DFS, there is no equivalent." There actually is an equivalent. If you study DFS, you'll find that there's a cottage industry in figuring out what players will be most popularly owned in a given slate and then using that information to increase your own EV (e.g. in a tournament, if you projected Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton to score the same number of points but 80% of people would play Rodgers then you would want to play Cam Newton because if he does go off big time then you now ahead of 80% of your competitors).
