The NBA playoffs continue to roll on and so do DFS contests. Again, for the most part, these games are the same. However, two teams have legitimate shake-ups to their starting lineups and rotation Friday, making it a bit more interesting to tackle. Of course, our main objective remains the same — play the guys […]

The NBA playoffs have gotten off to an electric start, DFS included, and we’re only two days in. Now we head into the second game of each series, which is interesting to decipher for fantasy purposes because outside of pricing on players, not much has changed — especially in the bubble when there really aren’t […]

What’s the only thing better than playoff basketball? Playoff basketball all day long. We have a four-game main NBA slate starting at 1:30 p.m. Monday, giving DFS players more chances to win some money. Teams are going to have tighter rotations during the postseason, which should make our lives a bit easier. Utah Jazz vs […]

With the restart of the NBA regular season winding down, teams are giving their key players plenty of rest to gear up for the playoffs, and that leads us to an inescapable conclusion for basketball DFS: Minutes equal money. Playing time is key. With more players getting some break time, we have to broaden our […]

Paying attention to news is always crucial to NBA DFS success, but it has been especially important lately. Several teams have seeds locked in and are limiting their stars’ minutes as a result. We have a seven-game slate Tuesday and the overarching theme is projecting minutes. Brooklyn Nets vs. Orlando Magic (ORL-6, 226) Brooklyn is […]

The five-game NBA slate Friday is very interesting, both for what it means as teams jockey for playoff seeding and what it means for us as DFS players. We have one high-end player above the $10,000 range on DraftKings, while there are a ton of really good mid-tier plays. Let’s get after it. Oklahoma City […]

The NBA bubble experience in Orlando continues right along, heading into a six-game Wednesday slate. With it, we have a full DFS slate as well, starting with the Memphis/Utah game at 2:30 p.m. ET and going all the way through the Nets/Celtics game at 9 p.m. Every day, we’ll take a look at the day’s […]

So far at least, it appears the NBA is doing it right. The return of the season Thursday and Friday has gone swimmingly and the product was honestly just as good as ever. We continue the basketball goodness with a five-game slate starting Saturday afternoon. Look for my game-by-game slate breakdowns every Saturday for the […]

We’re back. After a long and stressful hiatus, the NBA is back, which means fantasy hoops return as well. The FTN NBA team is releasing a division preview series that will help remind you where each team is at entering the return to play. We continue on with the Pacific Division. Los Angeles Lakers Coach: […]

Landing an every-down running back is so, so important in fantasy football, but that will be specially true in 2020. The position falls off a massive cliff at a certain point, which means there are plenty of running backs that I’m not very interested in drafting. Let’s take a look at some of the backs […]

The quarterback position is always loaded in fantasy football, but that doesn’t mean it is without disappointments. Three candidates stand out as avoids for the 2020 season. Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans Tannehill is coming off a 2019 campaign where his career was revived in Tennessee. From Week 6 on last year, Tannehill was third in […]

The best part of fantasy football is obvious, right? It’s the fantasy football draft. No matter what, constructing your team is the best aspect of fantasy football, which is why we tend to take part is so many drafts each and every year. And while they aren’t your final builds, mock drafts are great exercises to […]

There is no daily fantasy sport with more variance than baseball. You can get absolutely lost during the research process for a given slate. Unlike football and basketball, where you can bank and project volume, baseball is different. Mike Trout, the consensus top player in the sport, has far less control over his outcome than […]

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. Having said that, a handful of pass-catchers tend to go overlooked […]

We keep seeing more and more younger running backs emerging in fantasy football, making them legitimate breakout candidates for the 2020 campaign. Here are a few who stand out as breakouts the most for the upcoming season. Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles In Weeks 1-9 of his rookie year, Sanders was splitting work with veteran Jordan […]

As it has been for the last handful of years, the quarterback position is absolutely loaded in fantasy football. You have your established veterans, like Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. Then, there are your stars of today, like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson. Who is next? A handful of […]

The 2020 NFL season will be like no other, and that holds true for fantasy football as well. And that’s not because of players, coaches or teams. It’s because COVID-19 is blitzing the football world, while the NFL is trying their best to protect the season. While it still seems like a football season is […]

It is never too early to talk about fantasy football. No, talking about fantasy during the month of June isn’t early at all. Unless you are talking about the 2021 season already, of course. There’s interest, there’s passion and then there is insanity. Here we are. A fun exercise is to look ahead and try […]

It’s second and three from around midfield. Lamar Jackson fakes a handoff, bounces to the left and sees daylight. After cutting back inside, Jackson gets to the 30-yard line, sees two Cincinnati Bengal defenders converge on him and spins away from both, forcing them to collide. A few seconds later, it’s 47 yards to the house, […]

Hitting on the late rounds is crucial to any fantasy football draft, especially best ball where you don’t make roster changes in season. Wide receivers are plentiful, but that doesn’t mean you can just grab any names late in the draft. I used to love collecting cards as a kid. The excitement of ripping through […]

You’re not rostering as many tight ends in your best ball fantasy football leagues as you do the other skill positions, but that makes hitting on the right guys all the more important. In most of my drafts, I want to either be the first person to pick a tight end or the last. The […]
