He promptly recruited all his buddies to join his first fantasy football league at the age of 12 and has been hooked ever since. As a result, Dave is now an NFL handicapper and avid fantasy football player. He plays in over 60 fantasy football leagues, many of which are high stakes, so you can be sure that he is willing to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to fantasy football advice.

NASCAR DFS Picks (Xfinity Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas (2025)

After an off week, the NASCAR Xfinity Series returns this weekend. Kansas Speedway is next on the docket, and this track is one of several 1.5-mile tracks the Xfinity Series has visited this year. The "cookie-cutter" tracks used to be featured more prominently on the series schedule. In recent years, though, the series has reduced […]

NFL Week 4 Rushing Yards Props: Best Bets for RBs, QBs and Expert Analysis (2025)

Week 4 is upon us, and we are about to finish the first quarter of the season. Well, it's not technically a quarter anymore since the league went to a 17-game schedule, but you get the point. So far in 2025, we have seen running backs like Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, and James Cook get […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 3 Lineups (2025)

Week 3 is upon us already. We had a mixed bag of results here last week. Our Sonic Boom did not work out so well after Breece Hall totaled just 29 rushing yards on 10 carries. Things looked great after Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was ruled out with an ankle injury, but so […]

NASCAR DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Lineups for the Mobil 1 301 (2025)

Well, last weekend's race at Bristol Motor Speedway is in the books. There was a lot of discussion surrounding the tire wear at last weekend's race, and whether or not NASCAR and Goodyear delivered an effective tire wear race. Personally, I loved it. There was a lot of strategy involved, and drivers really had to […]


Caleb Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Quarterback Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 3 (2025)

We’re only three weeks into the 2025 season, and quarterback injuries are already piling up. Joe Burrow and J.J. McCarthy are looking at extended absences due to toe and ankle injuries. Washington Commanders’ QB1 Jayden Daniels suffered a knee injury and is trending toward missing this weekend’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. McCarthy mostly […]


NASCAR DFS Picks (Craftsman Truck Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the EJP 175 at New Hampshire (2025)

We've reached the final race of the Round of 10. The top eight drivers after this weekend's race will advance to the next round. That means two drivers will be eliminated this weekend. Rajah Caruth currently sits in eighth place. He holds a 14-point lead over Jake Garcia. Despite starting the Round of 10 in […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - Chris Rodriguez Jr., Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell Fantasy Football Outlooks

The waiver wire is a bit thin this week in terms of quality running backs. Outside of Austin Ekeler (Achilles), we haven't seen many injuries to starting running backs (knock on wood) so far this year. That makes options on waivers a bit limited. However, there are a few potentially intriguing targets available to gamers […]


Blake Corum - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - Tyler Allgeier, Blake Corum, Kyle Monangai Fantasy Football Outlooks

Once again, the waiver wire this week is lacking quality running backs. We have yet to see any surprise names emerge, but that will likely change as the season progresses. While there might not be a starting back available on waivers, there are a few players who could be of some use to fantasy managers. […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 2 Lineups (2025)

Well, Week 1 has come and gone. Hopefully, you started your fantasy football season with a victory. If not, don't worry. 0-1 is not a huge deal, and there is plenty of time to turn things around. That starts with making some good lineup calls for Week 2. We'll do our best to help you […]


Jonathan Taylor - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Best NFL Rushing Prop Bets, RB Anytime Touchdown Scorer, and Expert Picks - Week 2 Analysis (2025)

Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. Hopefully, you had a profitable first week betting on player props. However, win, lose, or draw, now is no time to rest on your laurels. Week 2 is traditionally a great week for handicapping. Thanks to Week 1 overreactions, we often see incorrect lines […]


NASCAR XFINITY SERIES STOCK DFS PICKS

NASCAR DFS Picks (Xfinity Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the Food City 300 at Bristol (2025)

The 2025 Xfinity Series Playoffs are set to begin. We kick off the round of 12 with an old-school Friday night short track race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

NASCAR DFS Picks (Craftsman Truck Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the UNOH 200 at Bristol (2025)

After an off weekend, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is set to return this week. The Round of 10 resumes at Bristol Motor Speedway. Even though all three of NASCAR's top series are racing at Bristol this weekend, NASCAR rules prevent drivers from other series from entering this weekend's race. That means the Truck Series' […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 1? Xavier Worthy, Jakobi Meyers, Jaylen Waddle Outlooks

As fantasy football drafts wind down, it’s time to shift our focus toward Week 1 lineups. Many analysts and casual fantasy football players seemed to agree that the wide receiver position was very deep. While that’s great for drafting, it can become a real pain when setting lineups. Several receivers in play for gamers in […]
