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 […]

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 […]
