I disagree on this. Casual poker players will just play his hand as he's not that experienced with reading people.
While you are right that there is no DFS analogy to 'playing the player,' advanced DFS players build complex models, hedge their bets, and write (or hire people to write) scripts that update their bets as their beliefs about that day's games changes. Different kinds of skills than poker, but not less skill.
