The NFC South was probably the least exciting division in football last year, but it’s definitely on the rise. Tampa Bay is coming off an NFC Divisional Round appearance and managed to retain their key free agents. And, of course, the Atlanta Falcons made the splash of free agency when they signed Kirk Cousins to […]

The AFC South was quietly one of the most fun divisions in football last year. Both the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts surprised many in 2023, and while the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans disappointed, there is still plenty to be excited about. The Jaguars still have Trevor Lawrence, while the Titans made a ton […]

Thursday offers a five-game NBA DFS slate, and at the moment, the team to focus on is the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris are all on the injury report, though all three did participate in shootaround. Embiid made his return last game and played over 29 minutes, but this is a […]

Both the Chicago Bears (duh) and Minnesota Vikings will be looking for their franchise quarterbacks in this year’s NFL draft. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are looking to build on their successful 2023 campaigns. Let’s take a look at how these teams need to address the draft this year. (Check out the […]

The NBA presents a seven-game DFS slate Tuesday that has a handful of relatively shorthanded teams, which isn’t too surprising now that we have entered April. But the key to the slate appears to reside in San Antonio.   1. Jordan Poole has a 34.9% usage rate with both Kyle Kuzma and Tyus Jones off […]

The AFC North is arguably the best division in all of football. We obviously saw how dominant the Baltimore Ravens were last season, but it won’t be easy for them to repeat as division champions. Joe Burrow will be back for the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns have two of the […]

Saturday presents a small three-game slate that is once again headlined by injuries. Damian Lillard will be sidelined for Milwaukee, while the Memphis Grizzlies are depleted, which will present some potential value.   1. Khris Middleton’s usage rate climbs by 8.3% with Damian Lillard off the floor Since coming back from injury, Khris Middleton has […]

With it being MLB Opening Day, there are only two games in the NBA world Thursday. The Pelicans are easily the most intriguing team on the DFS slate, as they remain without Brandon Ingram, though the Hawks could be pretty shorthanded again, too.   1. CJ McCollum has a 29% usage rate over the last […]

Our NFL Draft wish list series continues with the NFC East, a division that has been dominated by the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys as of late. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders and New York Giants are still looking for their franchise quarterbacks. Perhaps this season. (Check out the NFL Draft Wish List series: AFC East | […]

As March winds to a close, even more focus is on April’s NFL Draft. With free agency behind us, we are starting to paint a clearer picture of exactly what positions teams will be looking to address come draft day. Like we did last year, we will run through all eight divisions in the NFL, […]

As March winds to a close, even more focus is on April’s NFL Draft. With free agency behind us, we are starting to paint a clearer picture of exactly what positions teams will be looking to address come draft day. Like we did last year, we will run through all eight divisions in the NFL, […]

We have a solid six-game NBA DFS slate Thursday that will be competing for attention with the start of March Madness. There are a handful of elite superstar players to choose from, with a handful of players also on the rise.    1. Ayo Dosunmu is averaging 88.3 touches per game over his last three […]

It’s an annual tradition — fantasy football drafters get so excited about a player, the hype is building over the course of the offseason, but for whatever reason, it doesn’t pan out. Entering the following season, the instinct is to stay as far away from that player in fantasy drafts.   But should it be? […]

The goal for every team during free agency is to add players that can fill holes in their roster. Obviously. But it doesn’t always work out. Plenty of players disappoint, whether due to injury, scheme fit, decline in play, etc. So after previously highlighting some of the best free agency additions in recent history, let’s […]

The 2024 NFL free agency period has been absolutely crazy with so many different moves set to alter the fantasy football landscape. But it raises the question: What have been some of the most impactful free agency moves in recent history from a fantasy football perspective?  Let’s take a trip down memory lane.   Quarterback […]

The tight end position isn’t exactly loaded in this year’s free agency, especially after watching Dalton Schultz return to Houston and the Dolphins agreeing to a deal with Jonnu Smith. Admittedly, there aren’t really any true difference-making tight ends in this class but some potential landing spots could raise some eyebrows.   Check out the […]

We close out the week Friday with a modest six-game NBA DFS slate that doesn’t feature many games with high totals. And, of course, injuries continue to play a huge factor, especially in Minnesota and Cleveland. As always, be sure to follow any and all news that drops throughout the day.   1. Dejounte Murray […]

The depth of this year’s free agent wide receiver class recently took a hit with Tampa Bay re-signing Mike Evans and both Michael Pittman and Tee Higgins received the franchise tag. There are still some wideouts available that can help plenty of teams out, but not a ton of true difference-making talent. Thankfully, this rookie […]

Wednesday presents an interesting eight-game DFS slate around the NBA that features plenty of injuries. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers will likely be short-handed again, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Milwaukee. Below are five stats that stand out as I take a look at this slate.   1. Opponents […]

This is one of the best running back free agency classes in years. Some of the top fantasy options over the years will likely be playing for new teams in 2024, which will obviously impact the entire fantasy landscape. It is always interesting to see what kind of contracts teams are going to hand out […]

We have reached the month of March, which means the start of NFL free agency is just around the corner. Things are going to change rather quickly around the league, so this week we’ll highlight some of the top free agents at each position and which teams make the most sense as potential landing spots.  […]

Saturday offers just a three-game NBA DFS main slate, with the only real notable news coming from Minnesota with Rudy Gobert. Of course, as always, be sure to keep an eye on news throughout the rest of the day.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Jalen Suggs, Orlando MagicAnthony Edwards, Minnesota TimberwolvesNickeil Alexander-Walker, Minnesota Timberwolves (if […]

After a rather uneventful All-Star weekend, I for one am glad to have the NBA back. We kick off the second half with a loaded 10-game DFS slate around the league Thursday, but because players had time off, teams are slowly starting to get a bit healthier.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Keyonte George, Utah […]

Earlier this week we broke down underwhelming players from last year and why there is a path to a bounceback season in fantasy football in 2024. However, not every struggling player has that comeback season the following year.    Let’s take a look at the nonbounceback candidates for next season. Sign up for an FTN […]

The Super Bowl isn’t even three weeks removed, but our attentions are already turned to the 2024 NFL and fantasy football season.   There is no denying the frustration and disappointment you feel when drafting a player relatively high in drafts, only for them to massively disappoint. And while it may feel easy to simply […]

You draft a player in the middle to late rounds of your fantasy football draft, they appear to be a league-winner and suddenly they go down with an injury. Just like that, their season is over and you’re left wondering what if. There’s nothing worse. Except wet socks. Or stepping on a pile of Legos. […]

The NBA All-Star break kicks off this weekend, but before the festivities, the first half ends with a small three-game DFS slate Thursday. Interestingly enough, the most appealing team on this slate may very well be the Memphis Grizzlies, who seem to be perpetually shorthanded this season.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Stephen Curry, Golden […]

The week kicks off with a nine-game main slate around the NBA. We’ve had many slates prior to this that featured a ton of value, but as of now, that really isn’t the case. Of course, things can and probably will change, so make sure you keep an eye on news throughout the day. Just […]

Saturday presents a seven-game NBA DFS main slate with a handful of teams on the second leg of a back-to-back. Per usual, we are still waiting on news, though we once again have some teams that are going to be fairly shorthanded, which is always advantageous for NBA DFS.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Stephen […]

We are now one day removed from the NBA trade deadline, but there are still plenty of impacts being felt on Friday’s six-game DFS slate. Philadelphia and Charlotte will be missing players, while, as always, injuries continue to play a role.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Trae Young, Atlanta HawksAmen Thompson, Houston RocketsCody Martin, Charlotte […]

The day of the NBA trade deadline is always hectic — not just for real life hoops, but on the fantasy/DFS side as well. Trades have been coming in throughout the day that will impact Thursday’s seven-game slate around the association. And on top of that, we have to keep an eye on the status […]

We’re now under 24 hours away from the NBA trade deadline, and that already might affect the Wednesday DFS slate. Atlanta listed Dejounte Murray as questionable for Wednesday, and I’d have to assume he sits out in this one due to the possibility of being traded. We’ll have to be on our toes and things […]
