Forwards to Avoid in Fantasy Basketball Drafts

Much like the rest of my avoid/busts articles, these are players that lack one or both of the main factors you need from a solid fantasy option, production and consistency. If you have both, good chances your team will do well. Just because these players may not be as consistent as you would have hoped, […]


Guards to Avoid in Fantasy Basketball Drafts

I'll keep this quick because the title says it all. These guards should be avoided during your 2016-17 fantasy basketball drafts due to their minimal potential in season-long formats. This does not mean to avoid them for daily games, because all players will have good games. But solid seasonal fantasy options need a combination of production […]


Centers to Avoid in Fantasy Basketball Drafts

In my last article I outlined some of the overvalued centers in the league.  This time I will be listing centers who you should simply avoid. These players have reasonable rankings according to Yahoo, and have multiple reasons why they will not be productive enough to help your team. Once again, these players aren't bad […]

Three Overvalued Centers for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

Let me set one thing straight before I get started on my three overvalued NBA centers for the 2016-17 fantasy basketball season. Just because these players are on this list, does not mean that they are bad players. They are simply the centers I found to be overvalued according to their Yahoo ADP rank. That's […]


Seven Seconds or Harden: D'Antoni and the Rockets

After being a preseason favorite in the West, last year's Rockets stumbled out of the gate, fired head coach Kevin McHale, and limped into the playoffs under interim coach J. B. Bickerstaff.  This offseason they made big changes. First of all, Mike D’Antoni is now at the reigns of the Harden Express and his fast […]


Walking Again in Memphis: The Grizzlies Are Back

After a strong start to the season, last year's Memphis Grizzlies suffered a catastrophic series of injuries -- not only to all-star starters like Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, but also their backups Brandan Wright and Mario Chalmers -- leading to record setting number of 28 players who made an appearance for the Grizzlies. The […]


Will Joakim Noah Rebound in New York?

The addition of Derrick Rose was a deal that left a massive hole in the defense of the Knicks. It gave NY the offensive firepower it lacked but gave up Robin Lopez, a solid defensive option that was traded to the Bulls along with Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon. What the Knicks did next actually […]


NBA Sleepers Unleashed: Dennis Schroder and Mario Hezonja

The NBA recently saw two massive trades take place.  One sent Jeff Teague to Indiana, George Hill to Utah, and the 12th overall pick (Taurean Prince) to Atlanta, while the other sent Serge Ibaka to Orlando for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, and the draft rights to Domantas Sabonis to Oklahoma City.  While it's exciting to […]


Thad Young and the New Look Pacers

If adding Jeff Teague wasn't enough, the Pacers traded their 20th pick and future second round pick on draft night to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for 28-year old forward, Thaddeus Young. Brooklyn was a 21 win team last year and much of that is thanks to Thad. Averaging 15.1 points / 9.0 rebounds last […]


MLB DFS - Lineup Picks, Advice and Sleepers for DraftKings 9/24/15

On this Thursday, September 24th, 12 games will be played throughout the day. As always I will go by game exploiting the matchups that should have the most potential while considering price. This splits of the batters will be based on opposing starting pitcher handedness. I will be brief but will not sacrifice explaining the […]

MLB DFS - Lineup Advice, Picks, and Sleepers for DraftKings 9/17/15

This Thursday has nine games on the slate starting with the Cubs traveling to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates at 12:35PM. The Athletics head to Chicago to play the White Sox at 2:10PM. Unfortunately, I am going to skip those games and head straight into the later games. I will say that both Kyle Hendricks […]


MLB DFS - Lineup Advice, Picks, and Sleepers for DraftKings 9/10/15

There are eight games this Thursday, September 10th, and paying high for pitching will be unnecessary. Every split that I have given for an offensive player is based on splits against the opposing pitcher. If Shin Soo-Choo faces Felix Hernandez, Soo-Choo stats will show his averages against RHP. All of my options that I have […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 9/3/15

There are only six games today which gives us limited options throughout the field. For the sake of assuming that the highest priced players are nearly automatic, I will go game by game and select one or two players from each team that is the perfect balance of potential and price. I will be using […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 8/27/15

Thursday, August 27th has 11 games on the schedule and you will need to find value in the field and stack up on the pitchers. Similar to the construction of my previous articles, I will go game by game to exploit specific matchups. For today's games, spending high on pitchers should result in a nice […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks and Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 8/20/15

With an 11 game slate on Thursday, August 20th, I will go game by game to exploit the most favorable matchups given the park, and weaknesses on each team. The key to winning in DFS tournaments is finding players with cheap prices and high ceilings. That is what my article will consist of. I will […]


MLB DFS - Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 8/13/15

On a day with only nine games, the options are limited. You need to make each pick worthwhile and be able to afford the top pitchers on Thursday, August 13th. I have gathered the statistical information from each game and have found the best matchups with reasonable prices. With fewer games, you need to find […]


FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 8/12/15

There are 15 games on the schedule today, which meant more work for me. I know that you do not want to go game by game to find the best DFS matchups, so I will gladly do that for you. I will exploit the matchups that have the best statistical probability to perform above expectations […]


MLB DFS - Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 8/6/15

With ten games today, August 6th, there are plenty of matchups to be uncovered. Luckily for you, I have already done the research. I'm going to touch on each game and reveal the best matchups. At the end of the article, I will compile all the players that should be started today into a list […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers – DraftKings Advice for 7/23/15

Today, Thursday July 23rd, includes 11 games and some excellent pitching throughout the league. I constructed this article a bit differently to address the match ups and best pitching options. Remember the potential that each player has given their circumstances. I find it is best to disregard the price at first and create your ideal […]


MLB DFS - Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 7/9/15

Today is an 11 game day with some potentially high scoring affairs across the board. The only match ups I am confident will be controlled by pitchers are both Los Angeles teams with Zack Greinke and Garrett Richards. Without further adieu, here are my MLB DFS lineup picks for DraftKings games for July 9th, 2015. […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/22/15

With seven games on Monday, June 22nd, the options are only slightly limited. In making the first draft of my lineup, I managed to have a remaining balance of $5,000. This is due to the number of solid value options that are available. The players I recommend consist mainly of infielders, as only one outfielder stuck […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/20/15

After another night of no sleep and intense MLB research, I have come up with the players and teams I am looking forward to watching on Saturday, June 20th. My advice may seem unorthodox or downright wrong but they are all made with proper support and some outside perspective. I like to believe that just […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/18/15

As the MLB slowly takes the reigns as the premier professional sport of the summer, highlight reels will be filling up with diving catches, innovative double plays, precise pitching, and of course, home run shots that would make Mark McGwire look like he was playing in a little league. Ok, that last part is not […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks and Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/15/15

This Monday is the start to a new week. That means new beginnings and a great reason to put your losses behind you. Today is the day you start your new streak of cashing out on a daily basis. I believe in you, so believe in yourself. Below you'll find my DraftKings DFS Lineup picks […]


MLB DFS Lineup Picks and Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/11/15

Fantasy baseball has been a game that I distanced myself from for nearly my entire fantasy career. I thought, who can keep up with all the games and the lineup changes, and the difficulty to put together a winning lineup was even more outlandish with my minimal knowledge of the MLB. Since the NBA playoffs […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks and Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/8/15

When it comes to fantasy sports, anything can happen. While I do not believe in magic, I do believe in miracles. Miracles can happen at anytime and it is nearly impossible to predict. Instead of trying to predict these miracles, I will base my DraftKings DFS picks off of consistency. Finding consistency in fantasy sports […]


DraftKings DFS – NBA Conference Finals Fantasy Basketball Advice & Value Picks (5/19-5/20)

The atmosphere of the playoffs has had an effect on every aspect of the NBA.
