It’s one of the best weekends of football of the whole year as the best eight teams are left standing. We don’t have an overwhelming amount of injuries on the offensive side of the ball, but there are a couple that are key to certain teams.  Below is the Saturday update. Check at bottom for […]

One good thing about the primetime NFL game this week is we don’t have to worry about winter weather, as the 49ers host the Packers. Both teams have a clean bill of health for once, which could make the build a little challenging. Let’s talk about ways to attack this DFS slate and as always, […]

The NBA rolls on as we have another seven-game DFS slate Saturday night, and there are some strong storylines. We have the Raptors heading into New York to face the Knicks after they just recently made a big trade while the Thunder and the Timberwolves square off in a matchup of Western Conference powerhouses.    […]

We’ve got a very fun-looking five-game NBA DFS slate on the docket for Thursday, with plenty of star players to choose from. As things stand right now, we have close to a clean bill of health for teams as well, past the Pascal Siakam trade. It appears that no player involved in that trade will […]

We’re getting into trade season for the NBA, and that’s something we’ll have to deal with Wednesday in DFS. Pascal Siakam was traded to the Pacers Wednesday, but the Raptors play, so that will shake up their rotations.  Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to keep up with the news until lock […]

We’re down to just eight NFL teams remaining to play in this year’s Super Bowl, and we have two games each Saturday and Sunday this weekend. FanDuel has elected to split the DFS slates into two games for each day, at least as far as the largest prize pools. That’s how we’re going to tackle […]

At first glance, Wednesday’s nine-game NBA DFS slate looks like a blast. DraftKings gave players a break on some of the pricing and there are options galore, even before we get any news for the day. Six games have a total of over 230 points although the Celtics are favored by nearly 16 points against […]

We get a challenging three-game NBA DFS slate Tuesday that has a ton of star players but very little value that we should feel strongly about. We can get to one superstar on each site comfortably but that might be about it, so let’s talk about our targets.  Just remember, it’s always going to be […]

There are only three NBA games Tuesday night, but it is a DFS slate that is positively loaded with star power. Some of the league’s best players are all in action, so building lineups that include multiple expensive players could wind up being a challenge.    1. We might have Nikola Jokic facing Joel Embiid  […]

We have NBA hoops all day long, but the main slates on DraftKings and FanDuel are both five games in the evening, which is what we’re going to be focusing on. The last two games on the slate are very fun on paper, as the Pacers take on the scorching-hot Jazz, and the nightcap is […]

There are only four games on the main slate for Sunday, as most of the sports world will be looking at the NFL playoffs. It’s not an easy slate, in stark contrast to Saturday night. We had far too much value for that slate, but it’s virtually nonexistent tonight, so a balanced approach might be […]

One of the best weeks in the NFL is finally here, since we have six playoff games over the course of three days for the Wild Card Round. There are some very important injuries for most teams (looking at the Miami defense), but as far as the offensive side of the ball, things are relatively […]

Saturday night’s Wild Card Round matchup between the Dolphins and the Chiefs is coming with a weather advisory, as the wind chill is expected to get to -30 degrees. It’s legitimately a dangerous environment that could wind up making this game an utter slogfest. Let’s talk about ways to attack this NFL DFS showdown slate. […]

Both DraftKings and FanDuel have seven games on their Saturday NBA DFS slates, and at least as of now, there may not be an overwhelming amount of value. That’s been a theme this season although there are still a couple of players that I have my eyes on, and news will surely break during the […]

We’re continuing to miss out on the late games for Friday’s NBA DFS slate as well, since all eight games on the slate tipoff by 8 p.m. ET. We also have some big names missing once again, but now the teams around them have been priced appropriately for the most part. It should be a […]

For just a four-game NBA DFS slate, Thursday is loaded with star power, even with Luka Doncic already being ruled out. Boston and Oklahoma City are on the second leg of a back-to-back so that brings an added element to the slate but we’ll have to find some values.    1. Jaden Hardy started the […]

For an eight-game NBA DFS slate, Wednesday could wind up being a chalky one, because we have a lot of players up in the air. The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t even get into Boston until early Wednesday afternoon, and they’ve already ruled out point guard Mike Conley. We’ve got other slate-defining players that are listed as […]

FanDuel has decided to only do one NFL DFS slate per day for Wild Card weekend, so we have two games Saturday and three Sunday. It would be fun if they had a full six-game slate to cover every playoff game, but that’s where we are. Let’s outline some targets for each slate so we […]

We’ve got eight NBA games on both DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday, since they elected to not have any late games. I still don’t get any logic behind this move when they had a DFS slate Sunday that had a 3.5-hour gap between the first and last game, but I digress. There are going to be […]

There are five NBA games ahead of us Tuesday night, and for once, we actually have some strong value plays in DFS. There haven’t been a ton of slates like that this year since teams aren’t sitting players nearly as often. Let’s get into who our main targets should be.  Just remember, it’s always going […]

There are only five games on Tuesday’s NBA DFS slate for the NBA, but there was slate-changing news late Monday night as the Memphis Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant tore his labrum and needs season-ending surgery. It’s a shame for the Grizzlies and the NBA that the young point guard will miss even more time, […]

We’ve got another six-game slate in the NBA on Monday, and DraftKings and FanDuel match for the first time in a little while. We already have one star player ruled out in Damian Lillard, and the Boston Celtics have multiple players listed as questionable, so let’s navigate what’s in front of us.   1. Both […]

This is likely one of those nights where the Core Plays look one way early, but we could wind up pivoting through the night in Discord. The slate is spread out and there are some key teams with questionable players such as the Magic, Mavericks and the Warriors. Let’s get into what we know and […]

The AFC East comes down to the last regular season game of the year, as the Buffalo Bills travel into Miami to take on the Dolphins. Miami is locked into the playoffs, while Buffalo can be the No. 2 seed or be out of the field altogether. As always, be sure to read David’s article on […]

We only have four NBA games in front of us Saturday, but some important questionable tags are vital to the DFS slate. As of now, we have some solid value and some questionable chalk that I think I’d prefer to not play, but we’ll see how things develop in the next couple of hours.  Just […]

The NFL smartly put one of its most important games of Week 18 in a featured spot Saturday, as the Texans and Colts are squaring off for a playoff spot. The winner of this game clinches a playoff spot and can claim the AFC South if the Jaguars lose or tie on Sunday. Let’s talk […]

Week 18 in fantasy football is a mess, for lack of a better word. A bunch of teams are resting players, including the Ravens, 49ers, Browns, Chiefs, Browns, and Rams. There are also plenty of injuries to deal with, and we still have multiple playoff spots on the line.  Let’s take a look at the […]

After a massive NBA DFS slate like we had Friday (at least on DraftKings) and a ton of news that happened after lock, sometimes it’s nice to see just four games on the schedule. That’s where we find ourselves this evening and seven of the eight teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel took a very different approach to the Friday NBA DFS slate, because DK has an 11-game slate while FD has only eight. I’m not exactly sure why FD chopped off games for the main since there are 14 games total on Friday. Even DK has just started to pretend the West Coast […]

After a wild Wednesday in the NBA, we can kind of take a breath on Thursday with just two games. We have the Spurs facing the Bucks and the Warriors taking on the Nuggets. DraftKings and FanDuel didn’t give us much of a break on pricing for this slate, so lineup construction could be a […]

We aren’t going to get the late NBA DFS hammers Wednesday on either DK or FD, as the sites decided not to include the 10 p.m. ET games, so that changes the strategy of how we’re going to build our lineups. We’re still learning about some players in new roles after the Knicks and Raptors […]

We have a twist to the NFL Week 18 DFS slate on FanDuel, because they elected to include the Sunday night, the Dolphins and Bills playing for the AFC East title. That’s not something that normally happens, and it brings the slate up to 14 games. Most importantly, let’s lay out what some teams have […]
