The NFL season is winding down, and while your season-long team may (or may not) have been eliminated from the playoffs, you know that we are still grinding DFS and prop bets all the way to the end of the season and through the NFL playoffs, too! This week's disclaimer is that you WILL NOT […]

Daily NBA Prop Bets - Top Player Props, Value Picks and Quick Odds (12/26/25)

I hope you enjoyed the NBA Christmas Day slate; it provided a lot more entertainment than those NFL stinkers - am I right? We have two certified bangers, with the Knicks coming back to beat my beloved Cavs late by just two points in the early game, and then the Nuggets and Timberwolves combining for […]

We have our second big holiday three-game NFL slate of the season, as the NFL has expanded its schedule to feature three Christmas Day games this year. These games may not hold the same matchup appeal as the Turkey Day contests did, but you still want to know which running backs to target in the […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10 (2025): 12/22 -12/28

We've made it through the funky scheduling created by the NBA Cup, and we only have one more day without any games to navigate this week, as the NBA, as usual, takes Christmas Eve off entirely. With only one team playing twice this week and nearly half the league playing four times, there is no […]

This week, the Sunday main slate shrinks back down to 11 games since we have two games today (Saturday) in addition to the usual three primetime games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights. We have a situation where some very highly utilized backs are also the same guys in the really good matchups, so we […]

2025 Fantasy Basketball Breakouts: Super Sophomores

What do the Spurs, Thunder, and Pistons all have in common? They all have a young core of players in place and have made some savvy moves through the draft and trades, building impressive organizational depth. The youth movement is on full display so far in the 2025 NBA season, and there is no shortage […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9 (2025): 12/15 -12/21

It's another wonky week in terms of the NBA schedule as the first half of Week 9 is still impacted by the NBA Cup Final on Tuesday. There's also the biggest imbalance in the schedule in terms of games played by each team, as just three teams play four games, while another 13 teams play […]

It's Week 15 of the NFL season, and we have one of the biggest NFL DFS main slates of the year with 13 total games. That creates a bigger player pool and hopefully dilutes the chalk a bit, which is a great thing for tournament players and those willing to stray from the most popular […]

2025 Fantasy Basketball Third Year Breakouts and Busts

The NBA is becoming a young man's league.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 8 (2025): 12/8-12/14

Welcome to Week 8 of the fantasy basketball schedule - also known as "that super weird week that is all jacked up because of the in-season tournament." Yes, the NBA Emirates Cup quarterfinals and semifinals will be played on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday, so we have quite the strange schedule and a very small number […]

Running Back Matchups to Target for Week 14 (2025) - James Cook III, Josh Jacobs, Chase Brown, More

Even with Christian McCaffrey on a bye this week, this may be one of the strongest groups of running backs that we have had on the main DFS slate in over a month. Tough decisions will have to be made when building lineups, especially because we really don't have any obvious value at the position […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 6

After taking Thanksgiving week off - a week where we had fewer NBA games than usual - I'm bringing the Cut List back with some fresh names to consider dropping.

Running Back Matchups to Target for Week 13 (2025) - Kyren Williams, James Cook III, Travis Etienne Jr., Jaylen Warren

There are three running backs on the 10-game main slate who have massive usage - as both a runner and a receiver - which gives them an incredibly high floor. I'm talking about Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, and De'Von Achane, of course, three backs who rank in the top five of the league in opportunity […]
