Early ADP Variations: Yahoo's Overvalued and Undervalued Players

Every fantasy football platform is different. There are the obvious ways they differ -- the way their apps look, the different drafting interfaces, etc. -- but there are also less obvious ways they differ. One of those ways is how their rankings and ADP look. Because there's no such thing as a universal rankings order […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Kentucky Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 (7/11/20)

Don't Let Go: Players to Hold in Dynasty

Dynasty leagues require a lot of patience. After all, building a consistent, winning team takes time. It takes a keen eye for talent. It takes luck. And it takes the ability to recognize that sometimes you have to use a roster spot on someone who won't give you much in the short term, but who […]

One Year Away: Players to Stash in Dynasty for Next Season

The 2020 NFL season is going to be a weird one because of COVID-19. With fewer offseason activities and fewer preseason games, teams will rely on veteran talent more than usual, pushing young players down the depth charts. One thing that means for dynasty managers is that if you're in win-now mode, you have less […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates: Quarterback

The league average touchdown percentage for NFL quarterbacks was 4.5 percent last year. Every year since 2009, the number's been somewhere between 4.2 and 4.6 aside from a one-year jump to 4.8 in 2018. That's not to say some individual quarterbacks don't exceed that number every year. Plenty do. 12 NFL quarterbacks had a touchdown […]

The Truck Series is back after a week off and will be part of a busy weekend at Pocono Raceway, including a pair of Cup Series races.

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Pocono Organics 325

The NASCAR Cup Series is doing something it's never done before this weekend: running a doubleheader. The idea was planned before COVID-19 and was a way of saving Pocono from dropping down to just one race.

It's Talladega time, y'all! The longest track on the NASCAR circuit at 2.66 miles, Talladega Superspeedway is one of the two restrictor plate tracks that NASCAR visits.

A full weekend of NASCAR action at Homestead-Miami Speedway is topped off on Sunday with the Cup Series Dixie Vodka 400.

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Homestead Contender Boats 250 (6/14/20)

On Saturday, the NASCAR Xfinity Series raced at Homestead-Miami Speedway. On Sunday, they'll do it again.

Austin Dillon Exits Race After Overheating

Early on in Wednesday's Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500, the crush panel on Austin Dillon's No. 3 car was damaged.

Dillon should […]
