Corey Davis Needs To Buck Downward Trend

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has barely been a whisper this postseason and isn’t an appealing fantasy option in the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jimmy Garoppolo One Step Away From Super Bowl

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a reasonable DFS bet for Sunday’s NFC Championship matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Garoppolo was not pressed into service in the... Read More

Kendrick Bourne Worth A Gamble

Kyle Juszczyk Could Make A Splash

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has some deep sleeper appeal against the Minnesota Vikings in a thin DFS slate.

While his floor is an absolute zero, Juszczyk has three games... Read More

49ers Defense Needs To Bring The Heat Against Vikings

The San Francisco 49ers justifiably enter the Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings as the priciest DFS option.
