Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 7 (2025) - Jonathan Taylor, Quinshon Judkins, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, J.K. Dobbins

This NFL Main Slate for DFS features a few big-time running backs, but then it falls off quickly as we have yet another week where an early morning game in Europe, plus three primetime games, have sapped the amount of talent that we have to choose from on Sunday afternoon. I'm breaking down DVOA data, […]

Thunder Dan's Road Map to Winning Assists In 2025 Fantasy Basketball

Over the last month, I've taken part in a number of mock drafts with other industry experts. Something I have noticed is that the popularity of a "punt assists" build this season is gaining some traction, as three of the top 25 assist guys in the NBA are all out for the season (Tyrese Haliburton, […]

More Than Just Points! Fantasy Basketball Stat-Stuffers To Draft in 2025

The worst term we can use for a player in fantasy basketball is "hollow." I'm talking about category leagues here, as someone who collects enough counting stats can be quite useful in points leagues. I don't play in points leagues, and you probably know that by now if you've read any of my content before. […]

2025-2026 Fantasy Basketball Rankings - Thunder Dan's Draft Guide

This might be the most interesting year for fantasy basketball drafts that we have seen in the last decade. Injuries will keep players typically taken in the first few rounds, such as Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum, and Damian Lillard, out for the season. Kyrie Irving is set to miss at least half the season, and […]

Mid-Round Values To Target In 2025 Fantasy Basketball Drafts

The first three rounds of fantasy basketball drafts are pretty predictable for the most part, with very few surprises as managers snag the best, well-established fantasy players to build their teams around. I'm a firm believer that the middle rounds of the draft are where you can do the most work to get a leg […]

So far through the first two weeks, we've done a pretty good job of identifying the top matchups for running backs, but there are always a few big performances that come from matchups that we didn't identify, too.

Sundays are not just for football, not while we still have the boys of summer crushing long balls every day. Did you see the 490-foot shot that Nick Kurtz hit last night?

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 2 (2025) - James Conner, Jahmyr Gibbs, Breece Hall, more

Certain running backs are what we call "game-script independent" - meaning they are likely to get their 15 to 20 touches regardless of how the game unfolds. If their team is leading and running the football, they will see plenty of rushes, while they can still pile up touches as a pass-catcher if their team […]
