At least for one night, it looks like injuries may not be as bad as they’ve been lately. But this is the NBA, so knock on wood with that. We’ll have some back-to-back scenarios to deal with, and there are a couple of games that already look like ones we want to target in a […]

The NFL is going international once again, as Monday Night Football will take place from Mexico City this week with the NFC West on display. The Arizona Cardinals are “hosting” the San Francisco 49ers, and both teams need a win in a big way. The Cardinals have some questions at the quarterback position, so let’s […]

For the first time all season, the NFL has used the flex option for Sunday Night Football, and we get the Los Angeles Chargers hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a big game in the AFC West, and it is going to be packed with star players, even though both teams are going to be […]

There is a lot of ground to cover tonight with seven games and a bunch of injuries that are very impactful on their respective teams.    There are going to be a ton of value options, so jamming in the most expensive players may not be that difficult to do. Let’s figure out five stats […]

This is one of the largest Sunday slates the NBA has had so far with seven games tonight and one game in the afternoon. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like we already have a ton of injuries piling up, among other factors.    There is a ton to get to, so let’s get […]

We’ve got a slower DFS night Saturday in the NBA with just five games total, and DraftKings has left off the first game for reasons that aren’t known. It seems very silly to me, but we’ll deal with the four games in front of us, and I’m sure there is going to be one player […]

There are only four games on the NBA main DFS slate for Saturday, but at least the Heat aren’t one of them. They barely had enough players to field a team Friday, and that made for some unique opportunities. We’re going to have some chalky players with the 76ers on a back-to-back and missing their […]

There are 11 games in the NBA Friday so it can be overwhelming for the number of players to consider in DFS. The slate is likely to be dominated by one since the Denver Nuggets are missing both Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Nobody that’s left to play is even that expensive, so let’s get […]

We’ve got 11 NBA games Friday and some of the DFS salaries for these players were definitely a choice. The Nuggets are without two of their most important players, but the salaries for many of the active players are barely any different than when Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are active. That could make for […]

We’ve got an 11-game NFL DFS slate in front of us Sunday, and the complexion has already changed massively. The Cleveland Browns visiting the Buffalo Bills has been moved to a neutral site at Ford Field in Detroit with the threat of six feet of snow falling in Buffalo Saturday. That makes that game far […]

Thursday might be one of the weirdest NBA DFS slates of the season — not only do we have just three games, they all start at 10 p.m. EST. It’s going to be a late night, but there are some fun games in real life and fantasy.    Brooklyn Nets at Portland Trail Blazers  Blazers […]

It may be a 10-game NBA DFS slate Wednesday, but there is going to be some serious chalk in story. News broke Tuesday that the Denver Nuggets will be missing Nikola Jokic due to the NBA health protocols. The remaining players are sure to be some of the most popular on the slate, so let’s […]

It’s not exactly the most exciting matchup we’ll ever get Thursday, but there is some star power at least for our DFS purposes. The total isn’t high, but the spread is close so the game is projected to stay close and we have plenty of choices to be made for whom to play.    Tennessee […]

There are only five games Tuesday for the NBA, and it’s a night-owl slate, because four of the five games lock at 8:30 p.m. ET or later. As of now, we don’t have as many injuries as last night but it’s the NBA so who knows where the night will take us.    Memphis Grizzlies […]

The seven-game slate tonight could provide a challenge for us, because six of the seven games lock by 8:00 p.m. ET, and then the seventh game doesn’t lock until two hours later.    Hopefully, we’re going to have news from that game in enough time, because if not, that’s a serious monkey wrench. Let’s get […]

We’ve got a fun seven-game slate in front of us tonight, and it will be interesting to see if we get some of the news that we need before the slate locks at 7:00 p.m. ET since the game in question is in the late window. Let’s talk about who we’re going after tonight and […]

The Philadelphia Eagles look to maintain their undefeated start to the season when they face off against the Washington Commanders. On paper, this is the largest mismatch of the week with a spread approaching 12 points. Let’s talk about how we’re attacking this rematch in the NFC East.    Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles  Eagles […]

The Los Angeles Chargers head to San Francisco to face the 49ers in a fairly large mismatch on paper. The Chargers had to travel east last week, while the 49ers were on a bye, so LA will have an uphill climb in this one. Let’s talk about who we like and who to target.    […]

Tonight’s six-game slate is an interesting one and has a couple of late-night hammers that look like they could be the most appealing games on the slate.    We also have one team that is likely to be without their star backcourt, so let’s see where we’re looking to go tonight.  Sign up for an […]

The NBA schedule is a little full today, at least compared to other Sundays. We have six games that tip at 6:00 p.m. ET, and there is a ton of injury news that will have a big effect on the slate. It’s headlined by the Memphis Grizzlies since they will likely be without their top […]

The NBA has eight total games to offer Saturday, but only six are on the main DFS slate for DraftKings, which is always a nice number. It leaves us with some choices, but it’s not overwhelming. It’s also nice that the last game of the night tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET, so there are […]

It’s looking like another fun NBA DFS slate Saturday. Hopefully, we can avoid the illness that seems to be making its way through the league. It costs us in a big way Friday (looking at you, Grayson Allen and Milwaukee beat writers) but there are a bunch of good spots tonight to talk about.   […]

For the first time, the NFL travels to Germany Sunday. When the schedule came out, they likely thought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be the showcase team. Instead, it turns out the Seattle Seahawks are the much better squad in the standings.  Let’s look at the DFS outlook for the NFL’s Germany debut.   Seattle […]

It’s nice to finally have an NBA DFS slate that doesn’t have double-digit games, as we have eight in front of us Friday. Some of the biggest stars in the game have already been ruled out so we’ll have some players in different roles. Let’s talk about who we should be looking to play in […]

We have an interesting eight-game NBA DFS slate Friday, with players who are already ruled out, opening up some different avenues for lineups. It’s probably going to be tough to avoid one particular game but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a bunch of good spots.    1. Jevon Carter is up to 1.24 points […]

  We’re on to Week 10 in the NFL, and there are only 10 games on the Sunday main DFS slate once again. Even though seven games are under 44 points for the total, there are still a ton of good spots to target, and we have stars in smash spots. Sorting them out is […]

After a night off for Election Day, the NBA returns in full force with a 12-game DFS slate Wednesday. The matchup in Orlando has been moved, so that game is no longer on the main slate but we have a ton to get through even with one game off the schedule.    Portland Trail Blazers […]

The NBA DFS slate Wednesday isn’t quite as big as Monday’s, but 12 games are still plenty and we have a lot of work ahead of us. There are injuries that the slate hinges on already, but we can start building some lineups with these five stats.    1. Michael Porter is shooting 49.3% from […]

We get a rematch Thursday to kick off Week 10 of the NFL season. We can hope we get another barn burner between the Atlanta Falcons and the Carolina Panthers like they had in Week 8. It’s always tough when division rivals play in close proximity and Thursday, so anything could happen in this one, […]

Monday offers us one of the most unique and challenging slates of the season, because every team plays.    Conversely, everyone is off tomorrow, so this evening is loaded with NBA goodness, and it’s going to be quite the night trying to put together some strong lineups.  Sign up for an FTN subscription today. 1. […]

It’s time to buckle up, because we have all 30 teams in action tonight, and then everyone is off on Tuesday. It’s going to be a long night with games stretching to 10:30 pm for tipoff, so let’s get right after it.    Washington Wizards at Charlotte Hornets  Hornets -3, O/U 221  Wizards Notes  Injuries […]

The Baltimore Ravens travel into New Orleans with an offense that is dealing with vital injuries, but the Saints haven’t had it much easier. Both of these teams might be better than the record shows, but they’ve been very up and down, making life difficult to predict a game script. There are a lot of […]
