NFL Betting Picks for Week 1 (9/13/2020)

Never have I experienced a summer where it doesn't feel like the NFL season is about to begin. We all know why this year feels so different, but regardless, we have football! No one truly knows what to expect, but I think the product on the field is going to take a few weeks to […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, SF) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tarik Cohen, Duke Johnson, Sony Michel. All players who disappointed in 2019. All of them reached the 150-point threshold in full-PPR leagues. The reason they were considered busts had to do with expectations. Michel should have continued his playoff success from the previous […]

Dane Dunning (SP, CWS) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS:  The White Sox have a supply of exciting young pitchers and Dane Dunning has certainly shined brightly in his debut season with a 1-0 record in four starts, 2.70 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 21 Ks in 20.0 IP. The White Sox currently lead […]

Andres Gimenez (2B/SS, NYM) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: A big part of the upcoming final fortnight of the fantasy season is catching up in categories you're lacking in to squeak out as many roto points as you can. So those of you in need of stolen bases should look no further than […]

Willi Castro (3B/SS, DET) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Detroit Tigers have been better than expected this year and despite sporting a 20-24 record and likely missing out on the playoffs, they have some exciting players on their roster including infielder Willi Castro. Castro didn't make his season debut until August […]

Chris Thompson (RB, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s decision to jettison Leonard Fournette has ignited interest in Devine Ozigbo, Ryquell Armstead, and James Robinson, as the fantasy community attempts to determine which back will benefit most from Fournette’s departure. However, Thompson was destined to receive a sizable share of the 100 targets that Fournette […]

DJ Stewart (OF, BAL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: DJ Stewart started off his year going 0 for 22 before being optioned to the Orioles alternate training site in early August. Stewart was recalled on September 01st and went 0 for 6 in his first two games back before going on an […]

Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Scott’s journey into the fantasy landscape began slowly. He was selected 201st overall by New Orleans during the 2018 NFL Draft before Philadelphia signed him from the Saints' practice squad later that season. He started 2019 as an afterthought within the Eagles’ backfield, […]

EPL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel (9/13/20) - English Premier League Soccer

Joshua Kelley (RB, LAC) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to believe the Bolts spent a third-round pick on a running back so he could sit behind Justin Jackson. Kelley will have to battle Jackson for the job but he has the goods to do so. He also won't usurp Austin […]

It's a Cup Series Saturday night at Richmond, as the second race of the first round of the NASCAR Playoffs gets set to begin.

2020 wRC+ Splits: Risers and Fallers

Baseball in 2020 is unlike any season that I can remember. The designated hitter is now present in the National League. You will not find any more LOOGYs with the institution of the three-batter minimum rule. Doubleheaders are now a combined 14 innings of baseball. Extra innings now start with a runner on second base. […]

Champ or Chump: Deivi Garcia

Fantasy baseball frequently turns into an arms race, so you should always be scouring the waiver wire for pitching reinforcements to help you reach your innings cap. Young Deivi Garcia has turned heads in his MLB debut for the Yankees, going 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA and 4.20 xFIP in his first 17 2/3 IP […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 8 Waiver Wire

It seems like the season just started, but we're already talking fantasy playoffs in most leagues. That's something we expected with such a short season, but it still seems way too soon for playoffs. One bad week of injuries could have knocked a really good team right out of the playoff picture in some leagues […]

Building an Optimal DFS Lineup for Saturday's Federated Auto Parts 400

After the first race of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs last weekend at Darlington Raceway, the postseason picture is a little clearer, at least we thought. But for the first time since the elimination-style format was introduced in 2014, there are two short tracks in the opening round. This weekend, the stars of the […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Richmond Virginia Is For Racing Lovers 250 (9/12/20)

Well, part one of the Richmond doubleheader wasn't what we expected. Kyle Busch finished third, but for the first time since March 2018, Busch didn't lead a lap in an Xfinity race. He had a good DFS day, but not the dominant day that was expected, which left fantasy lineups in some weird spots. Now, […]

Clint Frazier (OF, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Yankees' offense is a shell of what we expected them to be in the preseason, but that's led to the emergence of Clint Frazier who has taken full advantage of his first crack at everyday at-bats. Frazier was a former top prospect […]
