Wednesday’s NBA DFS slate is already shaping up to be a wild one with a lot of moving pieces. We shouldn’t be surprised since we have a 14-game slate on our hands and it will be a difficult puzzle to put together. Fortunately, we have the best tools in the industry at our disposal and […]

This week’s NFL DFS slate on FanDuel is certainly missing some star players, but it’s not quite as desperate as last week’s. We still have a ton of backup quarterbacks playing around the league but that didn’t stop some big performances in Week 9. Let’s dive into Week 10 and see what stands out at […]

It hasn’t taken long for the 14-game slate to go off the rails, with multiple big-name players already ruled out. I’m sure the chaos will continue all the way until lock, so you have to be sure to stay tuned through the evening. The livestream and the NBA Discord are going to be the most important […]

The uneven NBA schedule moves forward Monday with 12 games, a sharp contrast from five total on Sunday. It’s a weird evening, since every game except one has a spread of under nine points, but some spreads stand out. The Orlando Magic are favorites over Dallas while the Pacers are -8.5 point favorites against the […]

One of the best games of the week is on Sunday night, as the Buffalo Bills travel back to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. The atmosphere is going to be something the players have to deal with, because this was the scene last year where Damar Hamlin suffered his cardiac incident and the game was […]

It’s a quiet Sunday in the NBA with just a three-game main slate, and two of the games are projected to be close, not including the 12-point favorite Dallas Mavericks. Let’s get right to the core plays and decipher our targets.   Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to keep up with […]

The top of the AFC travels overseas this week, as the Miami Dolphins square off against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Dolphins are looking for their first win against a good team, and the Chiefs are looking to bounce back after one of the worst games of Patrick Mahomes’ career. Let’s talk about the game […]

Friday night was arguably the best night of hoops in the young NBA season with an overtime game and a late matchup that threatened 290 real points combined. I’m not sure if Saturday’s seven-game slate will be nearly as enjoyable, but we have a lot of appealing matchups and spots to attack.   1. Utah […]

Week 8 was a brutal week for injuries, especially if you were an NFL quarterback. There was a high number of injuries to that position that will have cascading effects on fantasy players at every position.    Let’s get into which offenses could be hampered the most.

We have a seven-game NBA DFS slate Friday. As of now, it appears that balanced lineups are going to be the way to go. There isn’t a ton of reliable value so the likes of Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic will be harder to pay for. Let’s talk about who the main targets are keeping […]

The path to winning DFS GPP tournaments is typically aided by diamonds in the rough. These are the players often overlooked and considered to be contrarian, looming under 10% rostered. Building chalky lineups filled with popular plays over 20% can work in cash games where we’re looking to finish in the 51st percentile of a […]

The NBA In-Season Tournament starts Friday, although I’m not sure that anyone outside of the NBA knows exactly how things work for this tournament. The league has been split into six five-team groups and each team plays the other once, we move into the “elimination” stage after that, with the semifinals and finals being played […]

Thursday’s four-game NBA DFS slate could be a challenge if we don’t get some news during the day, because the biggest piece of the puzzle is Devin Booker, and the Suns are the last game of the night. There isn’t much of a realistic pivot on FanDuel, although it’s a bit easier to work with […]

Wednesday is one of the largest NBA DFS slates of the season, and it’s opening up a lot of plays that are going largely ignored right now. That’s exciting although we should keep in mind that things can still change a ton before lock.  Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to keep […]

There have certainly been worse-looking slates for the NFL, but I have to say, Week 9 might be up there. We are without the Dolphins, Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, Chargers, Lions, Jaguars and 49ers on the main slate. That is an overwhelming amount of fantasy goodness that’s off the table, so it should prove to be […]

NBA DFS slates don’t get much bigger than Wednesday’s 13-game monstrosity, and we can bank on some chaos before we get to lock. The Pistons might be without one of their young stars in addition to a litany of other issues around the league, so let’s get to work.    1. Jalen Duren was not […]

We only have three games for the NBA DFS slate Tuesday, but there are plenty of situations to take advantage of, especially in the late games. We are still waiting for news on Caris LeVert of the Cleveland Cavaliers because he popped up as questionable after the shootaround.  Just remember, it’s always going to be […]

We’ve got a very interesting three-game NBA DFS slate on tap for Tuesday night with one late-night hammer that could provide us with some interesting value. We also still have missing star players in Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, so let’s get rolling.    1. Kevin Durant has a 37.4% usage […]

Monday brings us a large 11-game slate, and there are seven teams on the second leg of a back-to-back, so we should be aware of that. Four of those teams were involved in blowouts on Sunday, so hopefully they approach tonight as a normal day. The two teams I’d be worried about most are the […]

The sizzle might not be there for this matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Chargers, in part because the Bears are on a second-string quarterback. This game could still be a lot of fun, and there’s always money to win. Let’s talk about the game as a whole.   For a full […]

At least as of now, we have far less chaos than Saturday for this NBA slate. We’ll see if that continues, because we do have some questionable players still. Let’s lay out the slate and see who we’re targeting. The biggest question mark right now is Joel Embiid since the 76ers played on Saturday evening, […]

The NBA season rolls on Sunday night with a solid five-game slate, ideally with a little less chaos than we had on Saturday. Only the 76ers are on the second leg of a back-to-back situation, but that doesn’t always mean much, so let’s dive in.   1. Damian Lillard played 37 minutes on Thursday  It […]

These cores are going to be written at about 3:30 ET, so be very aware that things are likely to change. Not only did the Miami Heat give us a ton of value by resting key players, but Cleveland could be in the same position. They already ruled out Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, but […]

Saturday night represents possibly the best NBA slate so far this season because it’s seven games, and that’s the most reasonable number of games we’ve had. Two-game slates can be tough, and anything over 10 games can be overwhelming, so this is the sweet spot for a lot of folks.    1. Desmond Bane has […]

Week 7 in the NFL offered up some notable injuries, but in comparison to some other weeks, it’s been relatively quiet.    There are still issues that fantasy managers are going to have to navigate moving forward, and we still have bye weeks, so let’s dig in and see what happened this past week. Sign […]

We’re back in action for the NBA DFS slate Friday with 11 games to choose from. This slate is arguably the best one so far as pricing goes, especially on DK where the majority of the players are priced as they should be. Let’s get to work and highlight some spots to target to start […]

There are only two games on the NBA DFS slate Thursday, and we already have two stars missing in Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. The good news is that we already know they’ll be out and we can plan accordingly.  Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to keep up with the news […]
