Teams are allowed to use fresh legs more often due to the hiatus predictably taking players out of full fitness. Tread cautiously in player selection, as some players have more of a tendency to […]

Round 2 Showdown plays for the Memorial Tournament
The DraftKings Round 2 Showdown is always my favorite slate, as the public often overreacts to what they saw in Round 1. That’s not to say you need to avoid golfers who played well and cram in golfers that had poor first rounds, but you shouldn’t be writing off golfers after a bumpy start to […]

Identifying 2020’s breakout fantasy football tight ends
Tight end is perhaps the most interesting position in the fantasy football space. There is very little question about who the studs are at the top of the board, but how deep TE ends up being typically is determined by young players looking to break out. Get it right, and you are looking at a […]

MLB Futures: Breaking down the National League
To me, betting MLB futures is letting my freak flag fly. With little to no physical game action to go off of, I get to (mostly) put away the spreadsheets/graphing calculators to take a more broad, value-based approach. Now that doesn’t mean I don’t apply stringent, proactive risk management, which is paramount to sustained profitability. […]
