We have an interesting NBA DFS task ahead of us Friday, with some chalky teams and some injuries that are game-changing in nature. When a team is missing a player who has at least a chance to win three straight MVP awards, it does tend to change the slate. This is going to be a […]

The NFL playoffs are finally upon us, and even though we have some large spreads this weekend, we should get some fun matchups on the six-game main DFS slate. Below, I’ll be consolidating everything into one article, but I will also discuss different strategies and targets on each slate individually as well. That means we’ll […]

We have six games Thursday in the NBA and a relatively clean DFS slate for injuries, at least at the top of the pricing grid. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be some values to consider and the end goal of this is trying to fit Luka Doncic against the Los Angeles Lakers, […]

We already have some big names ruled out Wednesday for the eight-game NBA DFS slate, and there are likely to be more, which could reshape the landscape. There are two games with spreads over 13 points and another late-night hammer that could carry us over the top, so let’s dive into things and lay out […]

It’s a bigger NBA DFS slate than normal for a Tuesday, and we’ve got some good matchups. There are three questionable players at the very top of the salary grid that could have a big effect on this slate as a whole, and two such games are in the late window, which makes for an […]

We’ve got another interesting NBA DFS slate Tuesday, with seven games and plenty of options to choose from. There are also some unique scenarios on this slate because there are multiple big-name stars that are questionable and don’t play until late. Let’s get to work and find five stats to help build some lineups.    […]

The NBA season rolls on, and there are only six games tonight because of the College Football Playoff National Championship.    There are still some good games, and the highest total on the board once again comes from the late hammer, although it’s maybe not the team we usually talk about.  Sign up for an […]

Monday night brings us six games with a few injury-related challenges as always, and two of these six games have a spread into the double-digits. That’s always something to keep in mind, although predicting a blowout is typically a fool’s errand. Let’s get to work and start laying out the slate.    New Orleans Pelicans […]

It’s a busy day in the NBA with a three-game slate and a six-game slate in the evening, which is about as busy a Sunday as we’ve had this season. The three-game slate offers us a very healthy set of games with just two fantasy-relevant players ruled out as of now, while the six-game slate […]

We’ve got split slates today for one of the few times of the season to this point, and there aren’t many injuries to deal with on the three-game slate that starts at 3:00 p.m. ET.    The same cannot be said for the six-game slate that’s later in the evening, so let’s get busy and […]

We’re not going to know the stakes of the Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers game until the afternoon Seattle Seahawks game concludes. If Seattle beats the Rams, the Lions will be eliminated. For the Packers, the equation is simple. If they win this game, they make it into the playoffs. If not, they are […]

The NBA schedule churns on with five games total Saturday, but DraftKings settled on a four-game main DFS slate. It’s not going to start until 8 p.m. ET, and these slates mostly tend to be more enjoyable than the giant 12-gamers. Three of the eight teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back, and […]

For just four games on the NBA DFS main slate SAturday, we have some fun matchups, and there is the possibility that we get shenanigans for the late-night hammer since the Lakers played Friday. Even with that hanging over our heads, let’s get after what we like.   1. Lauri Markkanen is scoring the sixth-most […]

Week 18 of the NFL season can bring us total DFS chaos, because not only do we have to sort through 13 games on the Sunday main slate, we have to try and gauge which teams are resting players and which are not as some head into the postseason. We’ll have all of that noted […]

It’s much easier to write these NFL DFS game-by-game articles knowing Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin is alert and taking as of early Friday. We’re all still pulling for the best possible outcome for this young man to live a healthy and full life. We have two games for the Saturday DFS slate, and the cancellation […]

It’s a crowded NBA DFS slate Friday with 11 games available to us, and it should be a good one. We have a lot of games that should be competitive with some especially appealing matchups. We even get a Tank-A-Thon game between the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs, so congratulations to Zac Graham for […]

We got a large 11-game NBA DFS slate Friday in the NBA, and we’re missing some stars but the top of the salary grid is relatively clean as things stand. Nine games have a spread of five points or less and then we have a late-night hammer that carries the highest total on the evening. […]

We have just four NBA games Thursday, but of those eight teams, three played Wednesday, and we have some big names available to us in DFS. Two games are on TNT, and that’s where most of the star power is coming from, while we’ll surely get some value to pop throughout the day. Let’s get […]

After a slow Tuesday around the NBA with just three games, we’ve got a whopping 12 games to choose from on DFS Wednesday. We can practically guarantee some type of chaos throughout the day but it’s not an NBA slate without that aspect. Almost all of the games have a spread of seven points or […]

The NBA schedule has gotten back to normal this week, and that means a very small DFS slate of just three games Tuesday. We have one game with potentially the highest total of the season and all three spreads are under 10 points. This is always true but the NBA is dealing with a lot […]

There are only three games in the NBA Tuesday, and the most appealing matchup on the board for DFS might just be the Utah Jazz hosting the Sacramento Kings, not something I would have thought possible at the start of the season. Let’s get cracking and try to find our favorite plays of the night […]

It’s a busy day in the NBA, and we have one game in the afternoon as an appetizer before we get to the main course of 10 games. Depending on how the day unfolds, we might have some strong value plays to choose from, and there are some high totals tonight. Only one game has […]

There is an afternoon game, but this article is going to be focused on the 10-game main slate, as we have a bunch of options to pick from.   Injuries are prevalent at the top of the pricing grid again, which could make for some interesting builds. Let’s dive in and start laying out some […]

Monday Night Football brings us an amazing matchup, as the Buffalo Bills are in Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in a tilt between two teams with Super Bowl aspirations. We have two of the best young quarterbacks in the game and a host of stud skill players in this one, and it’s going to […]

We only have three games tonight, but two of the games are dynamite matchups for fantasy purposes and in real life. We may not have a lot of injuries to deal with, and that’s always a different kind of challenge.    When we don’t have cheap value to jam in, it makes the builds very […]

The NBA kicks off with just three games tonight, and there aren’t a lot of injuries to deal with at the start of the day. We’ll take that as it comes, and there are some good matchups that should have our attention. Let’s break things down and lay out our strategy for the slate.    […]

Week 17’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens might not feature the most offensive fireworks ever, but the game still matters to each team. It’s an AFC North battle, and there is still DFS money to be made for us. Let’s break it all down.    Be sure to check out David Jones’ […]

The NBA has eight more games on the main DFS slate Saturday before we ring in the new year, but they also have one game in the afternoon. We’ll get everything covered and before any shenanigans pop up during the day, this appears to be one of the cleanest slates in a bit as far […]

We’ve got another eight NBA games Saturday, and it’s an interesting DFS slate, since it looks mostly injury-free at the time of this writing. It’s the NBA on New Year’s Eve, so we’ll see how far into the day that goes. We can certainly get some plays that we like outlined to start building some […]

We have nine games around the NBA Friday, but there are going to be teams that control the DFS slate already. The Orlando Magic were handed down their suspensions Thursday after the slate was released, so they will only have eight players available, making them one of the chalkiest options on the slate. That’s going […]

There are going to be a lot of options on Friday’s nine-game NBA DFS slate, including one team that is down to eight players for its game. That’s going to attract a lot of attention, and justifiably so but there will be a lot of other really strong spots to target so let’s talk about […]

  Week 17 offers us one of the biggest DFS slates of the season with 13 games to choose from, which is a challenge. (And because the DFS sites got squirrelly with the flexed game, it’s not even the same 13 games on both main sites.) We have a ton of teams that are still […]
