Toronto Blue Jays Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

The Toronto Blue Jays had one of the best offenses since the Big Red Machine of the mid-70s. They had All-Star hitters at just about every position and where they didn’t, those hitters were still well above average. Then they went out and added David Price to their only weakness and it appeared that the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $7,500 ANALYSIS: Towns put up somewhat of a dud against the 76ers in his team's most recent game, but I like him to bounce back against a Denver squad that is hurting in the middle thanks to Faried's injury. In the three games prior to the T-Wolves loss to the Sixers, Towns […]

Serge Ibaka (PF, OKC) - Cheap FanDuel Option on 1/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MEM, $6,500 ANALYSIS: There are quite a few options tonight at power forward that I think are in consideration for both cash and tournament, but I wanted to give you a guy who's a  little less pricey than most and still provides a nice floor. In Kevin Durant's absence the other night, Ibaka […]

T.J. Warren (SF, CHA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $4,300 ANALYSIS: With all the expensive plays I've suggested tonight, I wanted to find a value play I could confidently back. That said, my confidence levels up if Nicolas Batum is unavailable for the Hornets tonight. Warren has seen his usage and production increase greatly since the absence of Eric Bledsoe due […]

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - High Floor FanDuel Play on 1/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BKN, $8,200 ANALYSIS: There is quite a bit of value available at shooting guard tonight, but not enough consistency among them for me to warrant cash game consideration - I'll save those guys for tournament play. DeMar draws a great matchup against Brooklyn. Honestly, rostering at any position against Brooklyn is a favorable […]

Chris Paul (PG, LAC) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $9,000 ANALYSIS: I think you could go Westbrook in this spot as well for cash games, but with so many options tonight at point, I'd rather save the $1,700 and go with Paul. He's got a real nice floor, has been playing very well of late - he's exceeded value in eight […]

1/6 News and Notes

The Grim News on Jaylon Smith The injury to Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith is unfortunately as bad if not worse than we initially thought. Smith was carted off during the Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State and it has been confirmed that he has suffered a torn ACL and MCL and will be undergoing […]

Paul George (SF, IND) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/6/16

Paul George (at ORL, $9,100) George has been heating up recently, as he has scored 50+ fantasy points in three consecutive games. He gets a great matchup against the Magic tonight, who love to turn games into shootouts, which will benefit PG13. He played well against them in their one meeting this season, and George’s price isn’t […]

Thaddeus Young (PF, BK) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/6/16

Thaddeus Young (vs TOR, $7,400) It looks like Young is going to be a major benefit of the Jarrett Jack injury, as he managed 52.25 fantasy points in his first game with Jack out. Tonight, he gets a decent matchup against the Raptors, who have been an average defense against the power forward this season. Young has really been […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/6/16

Norris Cole (vs DAL, $4,500) Cole has been playing huge minutes over the last few games for the Pelicans, and he has scored 44.0, 29.25, and 32.0 fantasy points in those three contests. He has displayed an ability to score in four categories, and he gets a great mathup against the Mavs, who he recently dominated for […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/6/16

It's absolutely how amazing one injury can stop an entire team. The Suns were a somewhat average team until Eric Bledsoe was injured for the season, and now they are arguably worse than the Sixers. Hopefully Booker can get it going, and prove why he was such a highly regarded prospect. In this article, I […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/6/16

Tonight we've got a lovely 11-game slate scheduled. My favorite thing about the larger slates is that if you miss on a 40+ fantasy point scorer or two, your night isn't necessarily over.

Shabazz Muhammad (SG/SF, MIN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for High Upside with Efficient Percentages OWNED: 3% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Lineup changes abound in Minnesota as the Timberwolves start taking an eye to the future in another year as non-contenders. Kevin Martin is in the permanent "DNP-Coach's Decision" zone until the Wolves find a trade partner to take him […]

Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for short term REB, BLK, and STL. OWNED: 23% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues With Derrick Favors currently hobbled with back spasms and Rudy Gobert still with no timetable for his return from a left knee injury, Jeff Withey has been playing big minutes for the Utah Jazz and putting up some […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks (Wildcard Round): Russell Wilson, Antonio Brown, Jordan Reed

It's the playoffs, everyone! A great time of the year for fans who have teams in it, and a great time of the year for fans who don't, but are wishing that their friends' teams lose. I'm a Green Bay fan, and while the season hasn't gone the way I was hoping, they made the […]

This week three players and one super sleeper have been brought to your attention that have been exhibiting extraordinary performance in the last two weeks and now have warranted great consideration from Fantasy Basketball Managers in 71-99% of leagues. Be sure […]

Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - DraftKings Smart and Safe Play on 1/5/16

Paul Millsap (at NY, $8,100) After a couple rough games, Millsap has bounced back like a bully on the school yard. Over Atlanta’s last four games, Millsap has averaged 21.75/9/4.75/1.75/3.25, which is good enough for 49.6 DKP per game during that span. Silly. He should have no problem attacking Kristaps Porzingis and all of his defensive inefficiency.

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/5/16

Carmelo Anthony (at ATL, $8,200) Melo has the highest floor of any swing/small forward on the slate for Tuesday. Sure, picking him comes with some baggage. He is having his worst shooting year of his career since his rookie season and his usage rate is the lowest it has been in 10 seasons. Still, I’ll have no […]

Shaun Livingston (PG, GS) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/5/16

Shaun Livingston (at LAL, $4,500) Although I am not an NBA coach (yet), I don’t think there is any way the Warriors will play Steph Curry. He is listed as questionable as of this writing, but Golden State will be on the back end of two straight and will most likely be favored by about a million […]

Wesley Matthews (SG, DAL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/5/16

Wesley Matthews (vs SAC, $5,000) Sacramento has allowed a blistering 45 DKPPG to opposing shooting guards over the last five games, which ranks them last out of every team during that span. Matthews hasn’t exactly been lighting it up over his last ten games, but he has shown some flashes of getting back into the groove as […]

Louis Williams (SG, LAL) and Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - Stack on FanDuel 1/5

Louis Williams (vs. GS) - $5,700 Williams isn't always the safest play, but it seems like he's starting to get in a rhythm again recently. His minutes have been in the mid-30s, and he's getting more shots as of late. The Lakers should be trailing for most if not all of this game. That should […]

J.J. Barea (PG, DAL) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/5

J.J. Barea (vs. SAC) - $4,600 Deron Williams' reoccurring hamstring injury doesn't bode well for his status in Tuesday's game. If he plays, point guard is a mess. However, if he sits, I like Barea to have another strong outing. The Kings will push the pace, giving Barea plenty of chances to reach a double-double […]

Draymond Green (PF, GS) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/5

Draymond Green (at LAL) - $9,700 I'm not sure there's a price that I wouldn't pay for this guy right now. I would say I'm worried about the blowout and all that, but he's getting triple doubles in three quarters. With or without Curry. Are you kidding me? It would be wise to play Green […]
