Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Quarterback Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 4 (2025)

We had a pretty decent showing in this column last week. Caleb Williams and Drake Maye were a few of our recommended starts. Williams threw for 298 passing yards, four touchdowns, and finished Week 3 as the overall QB1. Maye had a few turnovers but threw two passing touchdowns, ran for 45 rushing yards, and […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 4 Lineups (2025)

As we approach Week 4, we are preparing to flip the calendar to October. Feels just like yesterday that we were discussing breakouts, busts, and sleepers while sizzling in the sun.

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 […]


Kyren Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Picks

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 […]


Ryan Blaney - NASCAR DFS Picks, Betting Picks, Daily Fantasy NASCAR

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 […]

We also saw huge performances from Ja'Marr Chase, Malik Nabers, Jonathan Taylor, and even Russell Wilson of all people! Did anyone out […]


Chris Rodriguez Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Running Back Sleepers, RB Handcuffs

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. […]


Daniel Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Quarterback Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 2 (2025)

Week 2 of the NFL season has arrived. Hopefully, you kicked off your fantasy football season with a victory last week. If things didn't go your way, try not to worry. There is still a long way to go before the fantasy playoffs begin. A lot will change from now to December, so there is […]


Breece Hall - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

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 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 […]


RJ Harvey - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Fantasy football draft season is just about over. That means it's time to turn our attention to Week 1. Start/sit decisions are never fun, but getting them right is crucial to weekly success.
