UFC 204: MMA Main Card Predictions and DFS Picks

MMA has one of the best sweats in DFS. Two fighters compete at a time with only one coming out as the winner. It's the best feeling in the world when you are watching the main event of a show and know you need a first round knockout to win the entire tournament. And nothing […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/7/16): MLB DFS Advice

As a Mets fan, I was a little bummed out by how the season ended, but that can be expected when dealing with multiple key injuries. On a different note, props have to be sent to Madison Bumgarner, who continues to prove that he's one of the best playoff pitchers in the MLB. In this […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/23/16): MLB DFS Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/9/16): MLB DFS Advice

The playoff race is heating up and teams are starting to show up! The Giants, Cardinals, and Mets are all in the hunt in the NL, although I'm quite surprised the Giants have dropped the ball like they have. As long as the Mets work their way into the playoffs, I'll be a happy fan. […]

Tiered Rookie Running Back Rankings

There have been some amazing transitions throughout the evolution of fantasy football, and it likely isn’t going to stop now. First, there were standard season-long leagues. Eventually, PPR leagues developed, but most leagues continued to be only for one season. The dynasty league was the next development, but it was more of a limited dynasty […]

In preparation for the 2016-17 Fantasy Basketball season, it's time to get to know some of the new guys in the player pool.  The 2015 draft brought in a massive influx of fantasy relevant NBA talent, from a burgeoning super-star at the top of the draft (Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns) to a hidden jewel in the […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

A few teams seem to have their divisions all but locked up, while other teams are locked in tight battles. Sure, a team could fall apart, but it doesn't seem likely that a team playing as well as the Nationals is going to fall out of the playoffs. Other teams, such as the Red Sox […]

Today we […]


Tiered Rookie Wide Receiver Rankings

Generally, dynasty leagues allow as many keepers as each team pleases, while having a draft that is filled with rookies and free agents.
