FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 1/24/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It's one of the smaller Friday night slates in recent memory, as we have just three games to dissect on tonight's FanDuel NBA DFS slate.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13 (2024-25): January 20 - January 26

Week 13 starts with eight games on Monday as the NBA celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But the back half of the week gets a bit wonky as there are only three games on Friday night, then 14 games on Saturday, and only one game next Sunday. Most leagues have a weekly moves cap, […]

D/ST Matchups to Target in Divisional Round - Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore

Sometimes the right defense can make all the difference!

Remember, we don't […]

Tight End Matchups to Target in Divisional Round Playoffs - Sam LaPorta, Dallas Goedert, Dalton Schultz

We have some elite tight ends available on this four-game DFS slate this weekend. Travis Kelce will attempt to prove he's still the best at the position, while Sam LaPorta, Dallas Goedert, and Zach Ertz all find themselves in a position to push for the top producer at this position. Tight ends often go overlooked […]

Running Back Matchups to Target in Divisional Round - Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Jahmyr Gibbs

It's no surprise that most of the teams remaining in the playoffs have running backs who had huge statistical seasons. These backs are the cream of the crop and have been staples in our DFS lineups all season long. But we can only play two or three of them in a lineup at a time […]

The divisional round of the playoffs is here and we have four great matchups in the NFL this weekend!

D/ST Matchups to Target in Wild Card Round - Chargers, Rams, Bucs

It's a great feeling when you play ta defense and special teams unit in DFS and get double-digit points while a lot of the field is stuck with an underperforming unit. DFS players tend to pay down for cheap defenses in cash games to save as much salary as possible, but paying up for defenses […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? DK Metcalf, Brian Thomas Jr., Deebo Samuel Sr.

It can be a challenge to figure out which teams and players have the incentive to play their best in Week 18. That's why a lot of leagues finish in Week 17! It would be nice if we could assume that every player suiting up on Sunday was going to play their usual amount of […]

Quarterback Matchups to Target in Week 18 - Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Joshua Dobbs

Week 18 can get a bit tricky in DFS. While we want to target teams with something to play for regarding their playoff fate, we can't ignore the other games. This week's group of quarterbacks is a good example of targeting both types of games -- those that matter and some that don't. And we […]
