Best DFS Stacks in the Conference Championships According to DVOA
Two-game NFL DFS slates are challenging on a number of fronts, but when it’s the Conference Championship Round and the final classic slate of the season, you know we’re going to treat it like the most important slate of DFS we’ve ever played.

TwoGun’s GPP Core NFL DFS Picks for the Conference Championships
I don’t normally play more than a lineup or two on a two-game NFL DFS slate. However, DraftKings is hosting another Mega Millionaire, so I can’t resist making quite a few lineups for my last shot at a non-showdown milly hit this season. With just two games, I value lineup construction far more than just […]

The path to winning DFS tournaments is typically aided by diamonds in the rough. These are the players often overlooked and considered to be contrarian, garnering single-digit rostership.

2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Xavier Worthy
