There are 10 games on the main MLB slate Tuesday night, with plenty of appealing arms to choose from for DFS, including Jesús Luzardo. That’s right, Happy Jesús Luzardo Day, as the 22-year-old will make his first MLB start when his Oakland Athletics welcome in the Texas Rangers. A first for Luzardo, and a first […]

There are six games on the NHL schedule Tuesday with the FanDuel main starting at 6:45 p.m. ET and the DraftKings main beginning at 3:30. This is an interesting slate as we have two sets of back-to-backs. The Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets play at 6:30 after the Jets evened up the series Monday, and […]

Monday brings another five-game NHL slate to attack in DFS. Isn’t it great? You can get in on Game 2 between the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes, but the main slate starts at 2:30 p.m. EST, and that’s where the cash is.  We have the Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers — two heavy favorites […]

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Yes, the NHL is back and we’re just hours away from the Stanley Cup Qualifying Round. There are five games on the schedule for Sunday with the action set to begin at noon ET. And along with that, it’s time to go bargain shopping for Sunday’s hockey DFS slate. […]

It’s time again to take a look at the day’s pitching slate around MLB through a DFS lens. Anytime you see Aaron Civale atop the price board, you know it’s going to be a weird slate. There are only seven games on DraftKings’ main slate and just six on FanDuel, with Jon Lester atop the […]

Hockey is officially set to return Saturday with the Stanley Cup Qualifying Round, and with it NHL DFS is back as well. With each set of games, Russ Prentice or I will break down the day’s goalie slate for DFS. While it’s obviously important for your DFS choice at goalie to get a win, it’s […]

Today’s focus for this article will be around a site called “PrizePicks,” a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production. The format is simple. You pick two, three, or four players and predict whether they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total. When parlaying the players, the […]

We’re just days away from the NHL Qualifying Rounds as teams have already begun their exhibition matches. The return to play format is unlike any we’ve seen before and its unique ways should make for some entertaining hockey. You know how the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs are usually the best? Well, this […]

The baseball season is finally here and today is the first Sunday on the schedule, with plenty of pitching options to choose from. Josh Collacchi’s “On The Bump” piece is so darn good I couldn’t let it go to waste on the weekend. I have some big shoes to fill on the mound, and I’m […]

It’s all about finding value in fantasy football drafts. If you can find starter value at a non-starter price, you can use those earlier picks on other value and you’ve gotten a big part of your job done. Tight end is an interesting position these days, a real case of haves and have-nots, although with […]

Avoiding the pitfalls in a fantasy football draft is at least as important as finding the big successes, if not moreso. On the heels of my quest to find the sleeper wide receivers in 2020 drafts, today I’m looking for the position’s busts. While I do think DeAndre Hopkins could potentially bust in his first […]

As mentioned in the quarterback sleeper piece, it’s all about finding value in fantasy football drafts. Sometimes a name like Terry McLaurin gets hyped up too much, to the point where he ends up getting drafted too early. Nothing against McLaurin — I think the price is fair — but four months ago he was […]

I’ve always been one to wait it out when drafting a quarterback in a standard fantasy football setting—I just wrote about a few undervalued QBs that I’m high on—so I could make the case for several potential busts. The three quarterbacks I’ve singled out below are good real-life quarterbacks. All three led their respective teams […]

You hear the term sleeper get tossed around often in the fantasy football community, but what does it actually mean? Can an aging vet be considered a sleeper or does the particular candidate need to be on the cusp of a breakout season? Both are acceptable, as it’s all about finding value on draft day. […]
