NASCAR DFS: Building an Optimal Lineup For Sunday's Quaker Stake 400 at Kentucky

Over the years, Kentucky Speedway has favored some drivers more than others. Last year, the first race at the 1.5-mile track with the current aerodynamic package, was a snoozer until the final restart, when the Busch brothers battled it out on a two-lap dash. That's not surprising for Kentucky. Unfortunately, it's been criticized over the […]

Engel's Angles: The DK Metcalf Love Affair Is Real

When I have watched the NFL over the years, it has always been fun to pinpoint the moments when I realize that some players are just going to be special. One of the first times I recall saying “this player is going to be very good” was when I watched a young Brett Favre handle […]

Rookies Expected to Struggle Early in 2020

If you know how DFS football works, then you know every week you have the chance to pick the best-looking players for the scheduled slate of games. For those playing season-long leagues, that's not an option. Once you draft your team you must stick to your decisions and only make minimal tweaks through the waiver […]

My […]

Early ADP Variations: Yahoo's Overvalued and Undervalued Players

Every fantasy football platform is different. There are the obvious ways they differ -- the way their apps look, the different drafting interfaces, etc. -- but there are also less obvious ways they differ. One of those ways is how their rankings and ADP look. Because there's no such thing as a universal rankings order […]

But it's true, and after a brief hiatus for July 4th weekend, the series returns to action on Saturday for the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 at Kentucky Speedway. […]

Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the mid-rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge upside. […]

Overvalued RB Handcuffs Getting Too Expensive

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Usman vs. Masvidal (UFC 251)

If you know something about UFC's head honcho Dana White, it is that he's a stubborn man. Back when COVID hit for the first time, he was determined to keep the promotion going, even getting to claim that he had secured an island to hold some fights. It didn't come to happen, but at least […]

FanDuel MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Usman vs. Masvidal (UFC 251)

UFC 251 is finally here. Resonating from Yas (Fight) Island in Abu Dhabi, the promotion has faced many hurdles in addition to taking extra precautions to make this event happen.

Don't Let Go: Players to Hold in Dynasty

Dynasty leagues require a lot of patience. After all, building a consistent, winning team takes time. It takes a keen eye for talent. It takes luck. And it takes the ability to recognize that sometimes you have to use a roster spot on someone who won't give you much in the short term, but who […]

Cincinnati Bengals 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Cincinnati Bengals limped to the finish in 2019 with a league-worst 2-14 record. For first-year head coach Zac Taylor, it was an absolute nightmare as the team fielded a putrid defense and started off 0-11.  Cincinnati dealt with blowouts and painfully close losses, but if there was any silver lining, it was getting the […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition

Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team in our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limiting the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense rather […]

ADP Champ or Chump: Jon Berti

Ever since the shortened season's rules were announced, it seems like fantasy owners obsessed over what it would mean for their pitching staff. Will my pitchers throw enough to get wins? Will teams use openers regularly? These are all valid questions, but owners would be wise to remember that pitching is only one-half of standard […]
