Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: 12/29/25 -1/4/26

Week 11 of the Fantasy Basketball season sees us turn the calendar over from 2025 to 2026 and contains arguably the most balanced schedule of the season so far, with only two "light days" on Tuesday and Thursday and at least eight games on the other five days. Every team plays at least three times, […]

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 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.

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 […]

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.

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."

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 […]

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.
