The NBA rolls forward Thursday with another six games of DFS action. This will be the first time we’ve seen Luka Doncic since his historic game Tuesday. It’s going to be fascinating to see what the field does with him, because his DFS salary is very reasonable for his standards and the matchup is pristine. […]

The NBA is not data-driven in the same way that sports like baseball and golf are. In particular, we can’t evaluate individual matchups solely through calculations. However, we can still use both team level and individual statistics to guide our lineup-building process on a daily basis. Here are five stats I want to build around […]

The Week 17 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Tennesee Titans might not mean anything for the latter team, but Dallas has every incentive to keep winning. They could still achieve the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Meanwwhile, Tennessee can lose this game but still beat the Jaguars next week and win the […]

We have a little bit of a slower Wednesday DFS slate around the NBA with eight games. I’m going to bet we don’t see another game like what Luka Doncic did Tuesday. He made history with a 61-point triple-double, and it’s just a reminder of how loaded the league is with talent right now.   […]

Normally on a Tuesday, there aren’t a ton of games in the NBA, but this is an exception because we have 10 games on tap for DFS. That’s going to leave us with plenty of options and we have some oddball salaries at the top of the grid. DraftKings priced all the stud players around […]

There are 10 games in the NBA Tuesday, and just like Monday, we’re going to have one team that looks like it’s going to be pretty thin with how many players it’ll have active. The Phoenix Suns are missing four regular players from their rotation, and with nine other games, value players will surely pop […]

It’s not often that we get a slate of this size without a single player over $10,500 on DraftKings, but it makes sense since so many star players were on the Christmas day slate.    That makes for an interesting dynamic considering we may not have a spend-up to prioritize, and we may not have […]

The day after Christmas brings us a seven-game slate, which tends to be a sweet spot. No team is on the second leg of a back-to-back, so everyone has had two days of rest, which should mean we won’t have a ton of curveballs. Let’s get into things and break down what we like tonight.    Brooklyn […]

The Los Angeles Chargers continue to make their playoff push in Indianapolis tonight when they take on the Colts, and it’s a must-win game for the Chargers. We’re going to have a Nick Foles sighting on the Colts’ side of the ball with Matt Ryan benched for the second time this year, while the Chargers […]

It doesn’t get a lot better for an NBA DFS slate than Christmas, because the teams are very motivated to show out and we have a lot of time to react to how the slate unfolds. That can be very important throughout the day and the FTN Discord is sure to be hopping even though […]

It should be a rare NBA DFS slate that we don’t have a ton of chaos Sunday, because teams generally enjoy the spotlight that is the Christmas Day slate. This article is being written early, so be aware of any updates we may need but the hope is things are going to be straightforward. Let’s […]

It feels weird to have a Sunday NFL DFS slate and only see three games, and this slate is going to be heavily concentrated on one game. It has the highest total and one very explosive offense, while the other two could provide some pivots to the chalk. Let’s get into who we’re going after […]

The Saturday night prime-time game for Week 16 turned from a celebration of the Immaculate Reception anniversary to a celebration of the life of former Steelers running back Franco Harris, who will have his number retired. Both the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers are “in the hunt” for a playoff spot, but I believe […]

If you’re planning on wading into the NBA DFS waters Friday, you had better have the seat belt clicked in, because this slate is about to be wild. There are 28 teams in action and 18 of them have the next two days off, meaning we can see plenty of people getting rest and surely […]

Friday’s NBA DFS slate is going to be a massive task, since there are 14 games and a ton of moving parts. We should have no shortage of options for the five stats that we like, because slates don’t get much bigger, and you have to be around all night if you’re planning on playing. […]

We only have 10 games on the NFL main DFS slate this week, which is for Week 16 is Saturday. It could also be a challenge, with weather issues in multiple games this week. Now, it’s going to be Christmas Eve and everyone will be busy. but this is a slate where it can be […]

The NBA only has two games for us Thursday as they prepare to have the Christmas Day slate featuring the biggest stars in the game. Friday will be the normal madhouse and will likely be ramped up with nobody playing Saturday, but we’ll deal with that then. For Thursday, the four teams playing have created […]

I wouldn’t be surprised if most people thought this Thursday matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New York Jets was just a throwaway game. It’s a holiday week, the ratings might not be that great, so let’s throw two bad teams into this game. However, both teams are fighting for a spot in the […]

It’s a much busier night in the NBA with another 11 games Wednesday, and there are some very interesting matchups to consider for DFS. One of the more important injuries is in the late window, which makes for a very appealing game theory play but we’ll get there. Let’s lay out this monster slate and […]

There are only five games in the NBA Tuesday, but there are some very fun matchups at hand. We have the Memphis Grizzlies facing off against a Denver Nugget squad that looks to be short-handed, as well as the Golden State Warriors traveling to Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks. Let’s get into some […]

There are only five games Tuesday around the NBA, but we still have the usual handful of injuries to navigate to try and play the superstars that are available in DFS. Most of the games have a spread of no higher than five points, including the late-night hammer that will surely draw plenty of attention, […]

We have a full slate tonight for the first time in a couple of days, as there are nine games, injuries and big totals all around the league.    There are a lot of moving parts to this one and a late-night hammer that looks incredibly appealing, so let’s get right to it.  Sign up […]

The NBA is back in full tilt tonight with nine games and a ton of injuries that can shift the slate at any given moment. Every game has a spread under 10 points on the slate, so hopefully we don’t have a ton of blowouts that cap our players. Let’s get rolling and lay out […]

This game doesn’t carry the weight that the NFL had hoped for when they scheduled it, but the Green Bay Packers hosting the Los Angeles Rams is still a fun matchup with some fascinating storylines. Can Baker Mayfield build on one of the most improbable wins in recent years? Can Aaron Rodgers rally the Packers […]

The NFL has gotten another very important game in the Sunday night slot, as the New York Giants travel to Washington to face the Commanders with heavy playoff implications in this NFC East showdown. It’s not exactly the most explosive slate as far as offensive firepower goes, and these teams tied just two weeks ago. […]

Sunday looks similar to Saturday in the NBA as far as it’s another two-game slate in the afternoon and then five games for the main slate in the evening. Hopefully, we don’t have the same amount of star players sitting out tonight because there was a ton last night. We had Kemba Walker walk onto […]

Last night was basically chaos in the last hour, and then it extended into the slate, as Ja Morant was ejected and we had insane value players tilting the slate.    Chaos is one thing, but last night was certainly off the chart, so we are likely to get more of a normal slate tonight.  […]

We have a split NBA DFS slate Saturday in the Association, with a two-game slate in the late afternoon and a five-game slate in the evening, so there are options. There are teams on the second leg of a back-to-back, something we have to be cognizant of but let’s start laying out the slates.    […]

For this article, we’re going to be dealing with Saturday’s evening five-game NBA DFS slate, but there is also a two-game slate that will be addressed in the day’s game-by-game breakdown. We have some big names on the docket for Saturday and some spots look very fun to attack, so let’s get to work.    […]

There is a 10-game NBA DFS slate on tap for Friday and plenty of injuries to go around, with some on the top end of the salary grid. The biggest news on the slate is Stephen Curry of the Warriors is going to miss a month of action with a shoulder injury, and that’s a […]

There are some marquee matchups Friday around the NBA and a late-night hammer rife with star power when the Denver Nuggets face the Los Angeles Lakers. We also have two early games with totals of over 237, so it’s a very fun DFS slate. Let’s find five stats to help us build some lineups to […]

Welcome to the Week 15 NFL DFS main slate, where there are no games with a gaudy total that immediately jump off the page. Sure, some games look appealing, and there’s a late hammer that I’m in love with, but we don’t have a game that has crossed the 50-point threshold at this point. That […]
