Caesars Sportsbook recently acquired William Hill, and their experience has improved at least tenfold since. William Hill was known for their speed to markets on prop betting and wide variety of options. They have great odds boosts every day. If you are looking for a new book or looking for a reason to move some […]

What is JockMKT? JockMKT is a fantastic new fantasy football platform that combines the financial market and sports. Bidding on a player as an IPO and getting paid out where they finish on the day.

Returning this year after a fantastic debut in 2020 is my advanced matchups piece. I take a look at the DFS slate of games for Sunday and try to find the players in the best position to succeed. This can be based on an individual matchup, how teams perform, pace of play, injury related boost, […]

It is back in all its glory this year: My 10 favorite DFS plays under 10% projected ownership. Low-owned players — especially low-owned stacks — are how you can fly up leaderboards Sunday and take home those top prizes. Guys with low roster percentages are how to get contrarian on popular players or find leverage […]

The battle in the trenches may be the least sexy part of football, but it also may be the most important. Look no further than the last NFL game played last season — the Buccaneers and Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The Buccaneers dominated the line of scrimmage, and the Chiefs never had a chance […]

Predicting the future is hard, but spotting fantasy football value sometimes can be seen a mile away. That is the case with these two receivers, who can make your team league winners. That moment where you are holding that trophy, covered in champagne, staring at it like you are Michael Jordan… you can look back […]

With only one week of NFL preseason left and almost all the best future values gone, it is time to shift focus to Week 1 of the NFL season. With a full 16-game Week 1slate, there are plenty of opportunities on the board, and as we get closer to the season, more will present themselves. […]

With the preseason comes overreaction, naturally, but just because some people overreact does not mean there shouldn’t be any reaction at all to new information and news. Tuesday, I updated my rankings for FTN Fantasy, and there was some major movement. While Calvin Ridley passed DeAndre Hopkins as my WR4 in 0.5 PPR formats, that was […]

The bell cow back is one of fantasy football’s great cheat codes, so much so that fantasy players year after year chase backs, pushing timeshare backs up the board in hopes they can catch lightning in a bottle.

When playing on Underdog Fantasy you are playing on the website with the sharpest ADP. As the platform that is all the rave on social media platforms, you have more sharp drafters chasing million-dollar top prizes here than anywhere else. This means the ADP is accurate, as it moves quickly, and people are applying intelligent, […]

Stacking in best ball is not the fantasy football must that some make it out to be, but if done properly it can create an edge for you against your competition. The thought process is rather simple: You stack a QB and WR on the same team and they have correlated outcomes. If you get […]
