Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12 (2024-25): January 13 - January 19

We are closing in on the midway point of the basketball season, as most NBA teams will cross the 41-game threshold this week.

It's a great feeling when you play ta defense and special teams unit in DFS and get double-digit points while a lot of the field is stuck with an underperforming unit. DFS players tend to pay down for cheap defenses in cash games to save as much salary as possible, but paying up for defenses […]

We enter January with a snowstorm in the Northeast and a loaded slate of games, with the majority of NBA teams playing four games (the Suns play five!) this week, and we have at least seven games every night this week! Most leagues have a moves cap weekly, and some have season-long caps, too. Always […]

It can be a challenge to figure out which teams and players have the incentive to play their best in Week 18. That's why a lot of leagues finish in Week 17! It would be nice if we could assume that every player suiting up on Sunday was going to play their usual amount of […]

Quarterback Matchups to Target in Week 18 - Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Joshua Dobbs

Week 18 can get a bit tricky in DFS. While we want to target teams with something to play for regarding their playoff fate, we can't ignore the other games. This week's group of quarterbacks is a good example of targeting both types of games -- those that matter and some that don't. And we […]

The Fastest Path to the Top 50: Fantasy Basketball Statistical Analysis

The Washington Commanders had an unlikely hero last week in their upset of the Philadelphia Eagles - Olamide Zaccheaus.
