NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Saturday (1/6)
We only have four NBA games in front of us Saturday, but some important questionable tags are vital to the DFS slate. As of now, we have some solid value and some questionable chalk that I think I’d prefer to not play, but we’ll see how things develop in the next couple of hours.  Just […]

TwoGun’s GPP Core NFL DFS Picks for Week 18
The Week 18 Sunday NFL DFS main slate is by far the most annoying of the season. It’s annoying to project who will play and annoying to guess what rostership will be, and the fact that the prize pools are smaller adds in that final kick of annoying. Because of the reduced prize pools, I’ll […]

Best DFS Stacks in Week 18 According to DVOA
DVOA data does more than just tell us how good a team has been throughout the season. It tells us whose passing offense is improving and whose run defense is suddenly lacking. It allows us to project efficiency of both kinds for all offenses, and perhaps most important for DFS purposes, it allows us to […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 6
After a massive NBA DFS slate like we had Friday (at least on DraftKings) and a ton of news that happened after lock, sometimes it’s nice to see just four games on the schedule. That’s where we find ourselves this evening and seven of the eight teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back, […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Friday (1/5)
Friday features an 11-game DFS slate around the NBA with a couple of repeat matchups from a few days ago. It is a bit of an interesting slate, as DraftKings includes all 11 games on their main slate, while FanDuel is only incorporating eight on their main slate. As always, be sure to follow the […]

College basketball DFS picks and strategy for Friday (1/5)
A huge weekend of college hoops is coming up, but we have a five-game DFS slate on tap first Friday with a solid mix of high- and mid-major teams. Even though it’s a smaller slate, there is an edge we can exploit because a lot of people out there don’t follow non-P5 teams enough. Let’s […]

TwoGun’s GPP Core NFL DFS Picks for the Week 18 Saturday Slate
When it comes to two- and three-game NFL DFS slates, there are some I like more than others. The one we have for Saturday of Week 18 doesn’t fit the bill as a small-game slate that I like. There aren’t a lot of expensive, fantasy-relevant players, so there isn’t a great way to get different […]

10 Under 10%: The Best Overlooked DFS Plays of Week 18
The path to winning DFS GPP tournaments is typically aided by diamonds in the rough. These are the players often overlooked and considered to be contrarian, looming under 10% rostered. Building chalky lineups filled with popular plays over 20% can work in cash games where we’re looking to finish in the 51st percentile of a […]

NFL DFS Breakdown: WR vs. CB Matchups for Week 18
DFS is all about the matchups, especially when it comes to WR vs. CB. Remember when fantasy matchup analysis used to be “Team A gives up the most fantasy points to wide receivers”?

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 5
DraftKings and FanDuel took a very different approach to the Friday NBA DFS slate, because DK has an 11-game slate while FD has only eight. I’m not exactly sure why FD chopped off games for the main since there are 14 games total on Friday. Even DK has just started to pretend the West Coast […]

College Basketball DFS Picks and Strategy for Thursday (1/4)
Yesterday’s slate was a bit tilting, as there were just far too many underpriced players that went off, which was something we fully expected. When that happens, scores get so high that even the smallest of mistakes in your lineup can end your night. However, it’s nothing to hang our heads about since we have […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Thursday (1/4)
After a wild Wednesday in the NBA, we can kind of take a breath on Thursday with just two games. We have the Spurs facing the Bucks and the Warriors taking on the Nuggets. DraftKings and FanDuel didn’t give us much of a break on pricing for this slate, so lineup construction could be a […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 4
A very light two-game NBA slate awaits us Thursday, making for a challenging DFS slate.  The Bucks are 9.5-point road favorites at San Antonio, a team they defeated 132-119 at home in December. The Nuggets are also road favorites, entering Golden State with a 3.5-point projected advantage.    1. Giannis’ Versatility We are approaching the […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2024 Sentry
It takes a special kind of crazy to be good at PGA DFS. It is perhaps the most volatile of all the major sports, there’s little correlation to take advantage of and we only get six roster spots for each lineup. Consequently, to gain an edge over our competition we have to be bold – […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (1/3)
We aren’t going to get the late NBA DFS hammers Wednesday on either DK or FD, as the sites decided not to include the 10 p.m. ET games, so that changes the strategy of how we’re going to build our lineups. We’re still learning about some players in new roles after the Knicks and Raptors […]

NFL First-Look FanDuel Slate Breakdown: Week 18

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 3
Both DraftKings and FanDuel are back to pretending that the West Coast doesn’t exist, because neither platform included the NBA’s 10 p.m. ET games Wednesday, chopping the day’s DFS slate down to 10 games. It was an interesting experiment, but now it’s getting a bit annoying to not have the hammers in the late window […]

Both DraftKings and FanDuel elected to include Tuesday’s late NBA games on the six-game DFS slate, and by the looks of things, those games are quite popular. The Warriors might be the chalkiest team on the slate since they have a new starting lineup and it may be wise to lean into some of it […]
