Overlooked pass-catching duos to target in fantasy
Wide receiver and tight end are both extremely deep in fantasy football this year. There are honestly 35-40 wideouts and 13 or 14 tight ends who I would be comfortable plugging into my fantasy lineup right now. The positions are arguably deeper than ever.

West Ham/Watford EPL DFS Showdown
Quick Note: One COVID-19 related implication for soccer is that the substitution allotment in every major league moves from three to five. 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 […]

To me, betting MLB futures is letting my freak flag fly.

Now that doesn’t mean I don’t apply stringent, proactive risk management, which is paramount to sustained profitability. […]
