Original Rosters: What Every MLB Team Would Look Like if Trades and Free Agency Didn’t Exist
There are so many things that go into building a Major League Baseball team. Even if you started with a full system of players you had drafted and signed, there would still be coaching them up, trades, free agency.

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 29
The NBA rolls on with six games Thursday night, and once again, we miss out on some of the better games on the schedule in DFS simply because they’re later in the night. Arguably the two best games of the night aren’t on the main slate even though last night we had late games. However, […]

NFL Combine: Translating Coachspeak to Reality
Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah positively adores Justin Jefferson. Sean Payton would toss Russell Wilson into the mouth of a volcano if he could. The Chicago Bears braintrust still likes Justin Fields, but not nearly as much as they like their other options. The NFL scouting combine is a time for head coaches and […]

5 Teams Set to Improve in Fantasy in 2024
A year ago at this time, I attempted to name the five teams most likely to improve in overall fantasy performance in 2023. I went 4-for-5, hitting on the Rams, Ravens, Cowboys and (barely) the Titans but missing on the Buccaneers. Pop quiz: What was the most important part of the preceding paragraph? Answer: […]

PGA National is famed for hosting the 2020 DFS Open, but it also runs a PGA Tour event. Formerly known as the Honda Classic, they’ve shifted to something that really rolls right off the tongue.

Previewing the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine
The 2024 NFL Combine may have lost some appeal when presumed top picks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers decided to skip the drills. But a fantasy manager shouldn’t sweat the missing star power. Historically, the Combine has made the biggest draft differences among the less heralded players and drills. […]

PGA Single-Entry Takedown Lineup Review: Mexico Open
The $200 Driver (Single Entry) with 277 entries is my go-to contest on DraftKings for PGA DFS. I like the fact that it’s top-heavy overall (20% to first place), yet relatively flat at the top. It’s also small enough that a takedown is a low-probability event, but not that unlikely. At Pebble Beach, I finished […]
