Cam Whitmore - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Streamers, NBA DFS Picks

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 6 (2025): 11/24-11/30

We get a bit of an abbreviated schedule this week with only two games on Tuesday and an entire day off on Thursday for Thanksgiving. I know the league usually takes Thanksgiving off, but what do they expect us to do all day - watch football? If the NFL can start playing games on Christmas […]

This is setting up for a really fantastic week of NFL DFS, and in weeks like this one, where we don't have someone like CMC in a smash spot soaking up a bunch of rostership, those who are willing to dig in a little deeper on matchups should be rewarded. My player pool for tournaments […]

Daily NBA Prop Bets - Top Player Props, Value Picks and Quick Odds (11/21/25)

We inch closer to the NBA mid-season tournament in December, which means another Friday night of Emirates Cup games in the Association. We have nine games on tap tonight, with several being broadcast nationally and only two late starts on the East Coast. Heck, we may even have fewer injured players out tonight than usual, […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 4

Welcome back to this week's edition of the Fantasy Basketball Cut List. We are closing in on the first month of the season, and we've already been pretty busy, cutting a lot of dead weight from our rosters and adding players who offer more upside. This week, we will review our first month of cut […]

Daily NBA Prop Bets - Top Player Props, Value Picks and Quick Odds (11/18/25)

We have one of the more robust Tuesday slates of the early NBA season tonight with six games in the Association. That's the good news. The bad news is that a few of these games feature teams that already have multiple injuries to key players, so we have to attempt to figure out which players […]


Peyton Watson - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire, NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5 (2025): 11/17-11/23

As the first month of the NBA season comes to a close this week, we are seeing the return of some players who have been sitting out since the season began (like Coby White), while other troublesome injuries to superstars continue to linger (Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, Jalen Green). Young players are emerging, including an […]


Woody Marks - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 11 (2025) - Josh Jacobs, Jaylen Warren, Woody Marks, More

We have what could be, in my opinion, the best collection of games we've seen all season in Week 11. Two AFC North battles, a Bills-Bucs showdown, Chargers-Jags, Chiefs-Broncos, and a huge matchup between the Rams and Seahawks are all on tap for the main slate, with the Lions-Eagles clash for dessert in the Sunday […]

Week 11 NFL DFS Picks - Top Value Plays, Sleepers & Stacking Tips (2025)

Week 11 looks as if it's going to be a lot of fun as we have a lot more games that project to be both high-scoring and close compared to last week, when we had a bunch of blowouts in very predictable spots. This column provides a detailed analysis of three highly stackable games for […]


Nicolas Claxton - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Daily NBA Prop Bets - Top Player Props, Value Picks and Quick Odds (11/14/25)

The NBA Emirates Cup action resumes tonight with nine games in the Association. These games matter more to some organizations than others, but we usually do see most teams make a concerted effort to put their best players out on the floor for these contests. In fact, we will see the return of LaMelo Ball […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 3

Some of my cut list targets last week took it personally, especially CJ McCollum, who snapped back to life with two 25-point outings and a 42-point game in overtime. I'm not reading too much into that production or feeling bad about that recommendation; I think his outlook for the long term remains the same. Anfernee […]

2025 Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: Usage and PIE Rates

It's only been about three weeks since the NBA season began. Still, I really don't think it's too early to start trying to identify some trends that are emerging for players' advanced statistics when compared to their performance last season. We went into our drafts with a specific vision of how players would be used […]

Whether you are in first place or dead last in the standings means very little right now, as it's been only three weeks of the fantasy basketball season. If you're leading the pack, don't rest on your laurels! And if you're bringing up the rear, don't panic and make any desperation trades or drops! Let's […]


Rico Dowdle - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 10 (2025) - James Cook, Rico Dowdle, Kyren Williams, Kyle Monangai

There are certain running backs, like Christian McCaffrey, who are matchup-proof because of their massive volume of touches or their heavy usage in the pass game. In CMC's case, it's both, and he's projected to lead the slate in rostership again on Sunday this week. But we can roster two additional running backs on FanDuel […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 1

So much of the fantasy space is devoted to telling you which players to add, but who's there to help you decide who to drop? I believe it was Shakespeare who said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." It's not always easy to let go of a player, especially if you already invested a draft pick […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 2 (2025): 10/27 to 11/2

The first week of NBA action is in the books, but most teams have only played three games so far this season, and many of them are still dealing with preseason injuries and are tinkering with rotations. We want to be aggressive and snap up players with potential, but we also want to be patient […]
