NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks for Coca-Cola 600

And we're back! The NASCAR Cup Series returned to action last Sunday, with Kevin Harvick winning at Darlington. It returned again on Wednesday, with Denny Hamlin winning a rain-shortened race that was also held at Darlington. Now, it's time to get back to something that's even more normal: Memorial Day weekend with the Coca-Cola 600 […]

Coca-Cola 600: NASCAR DFS Value Picks (Premium Content)

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. NASCAR's back! After two races at Darlington Raceway, we head to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the longest race of the NASCAR calendar, the Coca-Cola 600. This is also the first race since NASCAR's return that will feature traditional qualifying. The problem? It takes […]

Matt DiBenedetto Going To Backup Car

After making contact with the wall during qualifying, Matt DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers Racing 21 car will be bringing out the backup car for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. That will leave DiBenedetto bringing up the rear when the race begins, but because he did manage to post a qualifying lap before the change, he'll be […]

Aric Almirola Qualifies 40th At Charlotte

Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola spun during qualifying for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600, causing him to fail to post a qualifying lap. That means Almirola will roll off the grid in 40th on Sunday night, making him a solid DFS pick due to his potential to pick up fantasy points via place differential. Almirola might not have […]

Chris Buescher A Sleeper At Charlotte

Roush Fenway Racing's Chris Buescher has collected four top-20 finishes in his first Cup season with the team, and he'll be in a good spot to grab his fifth one in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. Roush cars have shown good speed at this track in the past, with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. having top-15 speed here last […]

Martin Truex Jr. Always Strong At Charlotte

Charlotte Motor Speedway is a good track for Joe Gibbs Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. since he became aligned with Gibbs in 2016 when Furniture Row Racing switched to Toyota. Truex has won three of the six Cup races on the 1.5-mile track, plus he has added a second- and third-place finish as well. The […]

Texans Feel Good About Will Fuller V

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V has struggled to stay healthy during his NFL career, but head coach Bill O'Brien says that "Fuller is doing great" after dealing with hamstring and groin issues last season. Having Fuller back and healthy is good news for the Texans, who need his field-stretching ability to help run […]

Late Wreck Leads To 38th-Place Finish For Chase Elliott

Chase Elliott had a chance to win Wednesday's Toyota 500 at Darlington Raceway, but contact with Kyle Busch put Elliott into the wall late, ending his race and leading to a 38th-place finish. After a fourth-place run in Sunday's return to racing, Elliott had high hopes for Darlington, but he will now have to turn […]

Clint Bowyer Leads 71 Laps, Finishes 22nd

A promising race for Stewart-Haas Racing driver Clint Bowyer didn't end as well as he'd hoped in Wednesday's Toyota 500 at Darlington Raceway. Bowyer led a race-high 71 laps and won the first two stages of the race, but Bowyer got into the wall during the third stage and faded to a 22nd place finish. […]

Jimmie Johnson Rebounds With Eighth-Place Run

Hendrick Motorsports driver and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson ran well in Sunday's return to racing before crashing out, which meant he had to start Wednesday's Toyota 500 from the 37th position. But Johnson steadily made his way through the field, ultimately finishing in eighth place, making for a nice fantasy day due […]

Kevin Harvick Follows Up Win With Third Place In Toyota 500

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick didn't manage to sweep this week's NASCAR Cup Series races at Darlington Raceway, but Harvick did come away with a third-place finish after starting 20th. The former Cup Series champion led 10 laps on Wednesday night but came up short in a race that ended early due to rain. Next up […]

Kyle Busch Finishes Second At Darlington

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch piloted his No. 18 Toyota to a controversial second-place finish in Wednesday's Toyota 500 at Darlington Raceway. Busch was running third when he made contact with Chase Elliott's No. 9 car, spinning Elliott out and bringing out a caution flag. During that caution, the rain came, ultimately leading to […]

Denny Hamlin Wins Rain-Shortened Toyota 500

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin won Wednesday's Toyota 500 at Darlington in a race that ended early after rain hit the track. It was Hamlin's third win at the track. Hamlin's win might not have happened had teammate Kyle Busch not spun Chase Elliott, bringing out a caution that ultimately ended in a red […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Darlington Toyota 200 (5/19/20)

NASCAR returned on Sunday, with the first Cup Series race since the COVID-19 pandemic postponed the entire sports world. Now, the NASCAR Xfinity Series is back too. On Tuesday night, NASCAR's second-tier series returns to the track with the Toyota 200 at Darlington Raceway. With a starting lineup created via random draw and a less-experienced […]

Beginner's Luck: Selling Rookies Who Could Regress

When I say "dynasty fantasy football," one of the first things you probably think is "young players!" In leagues where you're keeping guys for years, having young guys is obviously a good way of building a team. But just hoarding players in the first three or four seasons is not a clear path to a dynasty, and […]

Colts See Larger Role For Nyheim Hines

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines was a big loser this offseason on the surface. The team drafted Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor in the second round, and with Marlon Mack still around, Hines was seemingly relegated to a third-string role. But the team actually expects Hines to get more usage now that Philip Rivers […]

T.Y. Hilton Remains The Top Receiver In Indy

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton finds himself in a more crowded receiver group after the addition of second-round wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., but Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni says that Hilton is still the "lead dog" on the team. If new quarterback Philip Rivers still has the arm strength that's helped him succeed […]

Colts Say Philip Rivers Will Play Multiple Years

While new Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is only on a one-year deal, head coach Frank Reich says that Rivers will be a Colt for multiple years. That the Colts are planning for Rivers to stick around after 2020 helps explain why they didn't make a move in the draft for a young quarterback until […]

NASCAR DFS Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel Picks for The Real Heroes 400

NASCAR is back! Sure, iRacing was fun and all, but there's nothing like the sound of a real engine and somewhere between 36 and 40 cars hauling off into Turn 1 at "The Track Too Tough To Tame." Racing is back, and it's real, and we get two Cup races at Darlington in one week […]

Ryan Tannehill, Jonnu Smith Working Out Together

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill and tight end Jonnu Smith have reportedly been working out together privately at a local park. Smith is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he caught 35 passes for 439 yards and three touchdowns and is a popular pick to breakout this upcoming season as he moves into a […]

Colts Sign Jonathan Taylor, Jacob Eason

The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Jacob Eason to their rookie deals. Taylor is expected to share lead back duties with Marlon Mack initially but has the profile to be the best early-down back from the 2020 NFL Draft and a solid fantasy flex option right off the bat. He's […]

Jaguars Sign Mike Glennon

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed a veteran quarterback, adding Mike Glennon to the team's roster. The 30-year-old passer hasn't started a game since 2017, when he threw for 833 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions for the Bears. Glennon isn't a threat to take playing time away from Gardner Minshew II even if Minshew struggles, […]

UDFA Running Backs To Watch In Dynasty

It seems like there's always some undrafted running back who breaks through and carves out a key role on an NFL team each year. While the 2019 Draft didn't really have a player who fits this description, 2018 had Phillip Lindsay and Gus Edwards and 2017 had Austin Ekeler and Matt Breida. Going further back, […]

UDFA Pass Catchers To Watch In Dynasty

One place where fantasy value can be found is in the large crop of players who sign as undrafted free agents. Often, very talented players don't hear their names called during the draft, but they'll latch on somewhere and carve out a role. Adam Thielen was an UDFA. So were Robby Anderson, Preston Williams, Tyrell […]

Rookie Running Backs Destined for Committees

Let's talk about everyone's favorite term when it comes to fantasy football: running back committees. I know committees get a bad rep, but the future of the NFL is running back committees. More and more teams have realized the path to NFL success is to use a one-two punch at running back instead of handing […]

Veteran Tight End Winners from the NFL Draft

The 2020 rookie tight end class is probably one of the less-renowned tight end classes in years, but that didn't stop a lot of teams from taking tight ends on Day 3, some of whom could be set to challenge for a role now or in the near future. But not every team took a […]
