Welcome to the Week 10 FanDuel Breakdown. As we head into the winter season, it’s highly likely that we see even less scoring than the record-low pace we’ve witnessed thus far in 2022. It doesn’t help that seven of our 10 games on the main slate have game totals under 44 combined points and only […]

Welcome to the Week 8 FanDuel Breakdown. The season is flying by, as we conclude the second month of the regular season. We have 11 games on the main slate with the high-powered Chiefs and Chargers on bye while the Broncos and Jaguars face off early Sunday morning in London. The game with primary focus […]

Welcome to the Week 7 FanDuel Breakdown. It’s Bye Week Armageddon around the league, with the Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams sitting the week out. It makes for an odd slate with tougher decisions, particularly with our QB-WR pairings, with Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts unavailable and Patrick Mahomes with […]

Welcome to the Week 6 FanDuel Breakdown. Bye weeks are underway, so we have fewer games than usual – 11 for Sunday’s main slate. Expect this one to be backloaded with most of the DFS attention on two of the three games in the late window. We’re talking about the Bills-Chiefs (54) and Cardinals-Seahawks (50.5) […]

WEDNESDAY UPDATE A few changes and updates from Tuesday morning’s article: Moving DeeJay Dallas ahead of Tevin Coleman among RB priorities. Dallas will go for $100+ in many leagues as the clear #2 back behind Kenneth Walker II. Coleman was signed to the active roster but has a shorter shelf-life with third round draft pick […]

Welcome to the Week 5 FanDuel Breakdown. We have 12 games on the main Sunday slate with no game totals over 50 points. The Buffalo Bills have the highest team total (30.25) and are the only team favored by more than a touchdown (-13.5, hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers). The next-largest favorite with second-highest team total […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Starting Pitchers Not much to add to the existing groups though if you absolutely must have more starting pitchers in the mix for 15-teamers, you can also consider Rich Hill (vs. TB) and Javier Assad (@ CIN). The 42-year-old Hill hit 100 pitches in a start for the first time all season last […]

Welcome to the Week 4 FanDuel Breakdown. There are just 12 games on the main slate since the Vikings and Saints will face off in London this weekend. Dolphins/Bengals (on TNF), Chiefs/Bucs (SNF) and Rams/Niners (MNF) are also off the main slate, which means no Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Leonard […]

Welcome to my weekly free agent bidding strategy column – Trust the Gut. The by-position list only includes hitters and pitchers available (Roster%) in at least 10% of 12- and 15-team leagues. I use the 12-team NFBC Online Championship (OC) and the 15-team NFBC Main Event (ME) as the Roster% guidelines. Most of the players […]

Welcome to the Week 3 FanDuel Breakdown. This week brings us a much spicier main NFL DFS slate that last week’s, with three of the 13 games on the main slate carrying totals over 50 points. Here are those games: Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings (-6), 53 projected point total Buffalo Bills (-6) at Miami […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Starting Pitchers Luis Severino (RHP/NYY) returns this week after his 60-day IL stint this week but he won’t line up for two starts. Nestor Cortes Jr. will draw Tuesday’s start and Severino is slated for Wednesday (vs. Pittsburgh). He hasn’t topped 55 pitches in any rehab outing so we should be careful about […]

Welcome to the Week 2 FanDuel Breakdown. We have an overall low-scoring Sunday projected with the best games of Week 2 taking place in primetime standalone spots. The lone contest on the main slate with a projected total over 50 is Arizona Cardinals vs. Las Vegas Raiders (51.5). The other game likely to garner heavy […]

SUNDAY UPDATE   PITCHERS Jon Gray (RHP/TEX) returns to the Rangers’ rotation for a start on Monday. He was out since early August with an oblique injury. Gray skipped a rehab assignment so his pitch count for Monday’s start is unknown. Nevertheless, a solid matchup against the Marlins (in Miami) and then another on the […]

Welcome to the Week 1 FanDuel Breakdown. The first week of the NFL season provides a great opportunity for well-researched DFS players to make a profit. We typically see plenty of fresh fish in our DFS cash games and tournaments – folks playing DFS for the first time and simply building lineups with players from […]

I’m feeling very much locked in as we get ready for the start of the 2022 NFL season in about a week’s time. With over 50 best ball drafts and 20 mid-/high-stakes drafts under my belt and a strong feel for the player pool, I thought it would be a great time to share some […]

NFL training camps are underway, and best ball draft season is in full swing. Right now, there’s no more exciting place to scratch that draft itch than on Underdog Fantasy. Underdog’s best ball tournaments are incredible. Their draft app is extremely fun and easy to use as online drafts rooms are filling up every minute.  […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Baseball’s top prospect Corbin Carroll is expected to be promoted on Monday. He won’t be available in NFBC free agent pools (unless drafted then dropped) until next Sunday. If you have less than $50 in FAAB, you won’t have a shot at him in most leagues. If you have $100+ left, it may […]

The ADP range of Rounds 4 and 5 (37-60 overall) is typically a bevy of fantasy goodness when it comes to wide receivers. It’s the area I like to call The Golden Zone. It’s essentially the range where one was be able to draft last season’s overall WR1 (Cooper Kupp) and the previous season’s overall […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Relief Pitchers Luis García, San Diego Padres Josh Hader is getting ‘break’ from the closer’s job. Something must be wrong with him health-wise. Arguably baseball’s best relief pitcher has a 16.62 ERA since the All-Star break? Yeah, something wrong. Saves may be committee-based between Luis García, Nick Martinez, Robert Suarez and lefty Adrian […]

Tight ends are the baseball closers of fantasy football. We don’t really want to draft them, but we have no choice. It’s more of an apples-to-oranges comparison though. Saves are a necessary roto category in baseball while tight ends must be drafted to fill a roster spot.   How one decides to prioritize and plan […]

SUNDAY UPDATE Starting Pitchers DL Hall (LHP, Baltimore Orioles) The former first overall draft pick of the Orioles in 2017 made his MLB debut on Saturday and it didn’t go well. He managed 3.2 innings, allowed five runs with three walks and six punchouts. He was demoted after the game. Don’t think his demotion was […]
