Tyreek Hill Is A Top DFS Play Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill only had 20 receiving yards in the first meeting between the Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, but his role has continued to expand since that game. He's been targeted 10 or more times in seven of the last 10 games and is the highest upside wide receiver play […]

Davante Adams A Strong Play Against Bucs

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense has been really good and even shut the Packers down earlier this season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is simply too good to downgrade too much in this matchup. He was targeted 10 times the last time these teams faced, catching six passes for 61 yards. It […]

Aaron Jones Could Struggle In NFC Title Game

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is a strong fantasy option most weeks, but Sunday's NFC Championship game against Tampa could be one of those games where you don't want Jones in your lineup. His worst game of the season came against Tampa when he was held to just 15 rushing yards on 10 […]

Aaron Rodgers Facing A Tough Tampa Defense

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn't have an easy matchup in the NFC Championship game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but his performance this season makes him a solid fantasy play in this weekend's two-game slate. Rodgers threw multiple touchdown passes in all but two regular season games, though one of those games was […]

Derrike Cope To Run Daytona 500

Former Daytona 500 winner Derrike Cope will make his final Daytona 500 start this season, as he'll drive the 15 car for Rick Ware Racing. Because the 15 car has a charter, Cope is guaranteed a spot in February's race. Normally, we'd ignore any Rick Ware cars when it comes to building a DFS lineup, […]

Austin Cindric Will Attempt Daytona 500

2020 Xfinity Series champion Austin Cindric will attempt to qualify for the 2021 Daytona 500 in the 33 car for Penske Racing.

A.J. Allmendinger Will Run Daytona Road Course

A.J. Allmendinger will run the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Daytona road course this season for Kaulig Racing.

A skilled road racer who has a Cup Series win at […]

Jae Crowder With Strong Showing In Loss

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder tied the team lead for scoring in Saturday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 21 points on 6-for-15 shooting. All six made shots were threes, and Crowder then added three more points from the charity stripe. In addition, the veteran forward grabbed seven rebounds and added three assists and […]

Jamal Murray Plays Well Against Phoenix

There have been a few points this season where Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray has struggled, but he's now scored 17 or more points five of the past six games, including putting up 26 in Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns. Murray was 10-for-22 from the floor, plus 3-for-7 from deep. He added six rebounds, […]

Zach LaVine's Shot Is Off Against Lakers

The Chicago Bulls struggled to shoot the ball on Saturday in a loss to the Lakers, with their top-three players in terms of field-goal attempts all shooting under 40 percent. Guard Zach LaVine was the best of those guys on Saturday, going 9-for-23 and scoring 21 points. He also added 10 rebounds, four assists and […]

LeBron James With Double-Double Against Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James didn't have his best shooting night on Saturday, but he did enough to help the Lakers get the win over Chicago. James scored 17 points on 6-for-16 shooting, missing both of his threes and going 5-for-8 from the free-throw line. He also added 11 rebounds, six assists, and two […]

Anthony Davis Scores 37 Points Against Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis led the way as a scorer in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls, scoring 37 points on 14-for-21 shooting. He added a pair of three-pointers, plus grabbed six rebounds to go with three assists, two steals, and a block. Davis entered the game with a probable designation due to […]

Chiefs Expect To Have Clyde Edwards-Helaire Against Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs expect to have rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) for Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, though backup running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) isn't expected to play. Edwards-Helaire should see the highest share of touches out of this backfield, but we could see head coach Andy Reid using Darrel Williams […]

Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: So, uhh, Wayne Ellington has been moving a moment. On January 15th, the Pistons/Wizards game was postponed. In five games since then, Ellington hasn't played under 26 minutes in a game and hasn't made fewer than three three-pointers in any contest. And while […]

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside. Just this past week, Morris had a pair of games […]

Royce O'Neal (SF/PF, UTA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale hasn't had the most consistent season, but his high minutes per game and role as a starter for the Jazz makes him an ideal pickup in deeper fantasy basketball leagues. O'Neale's not going to consistently give fantasy managers […]

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, LAL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Caruso isn't someone you need to be going out and grabbing immediately, but he has some situational value in deeper leagues, and sometimes that's enough. Coming into Saturday's contest with the Bulls, Caruso had made six three-pointers over the past four games, […]

Matthew Stafford And Lions Will Part Ways

The Detroit Lions and quarterback Matthew Stafford will reportedly part ways this offseason, with Detroit exploring trade options for the former No. 1 overall pick. The Lions will likely look to take a rookie quarterback early in April's draft, something that will likely limit the overall effectiveness of their passing attack. As for Stafford, teams […]

Taysom Hill, Latavius Murray Unlikely To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) and running back Latavius Murray (quad) are both unlikely to play Sunday night against Tampa Bay. That's good news for Saints running back Alvin Kamara, as Hill is always a threat to vulture a rushing touchdown, and Murray's replacement -- either Dwayne Washington or Ty Montgomery -- won't […]

Ronald Jones II Has Good Chance To Play

After not playing last week, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (quad/finger) went through a walk-through on Saturday and as a good chance to play in Sunday's NFC Divisional Round contest against the New Orleans Saints.
