Five Under the Radar Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

This NBA season is an especially hard one to predict. So many stars have changed teams and changed roles. We don't even know what first round fantasy superstars like Russell Westbrook and James Harden are going to do, much less second tier guys like Carmelo Anthony. In all the uncertainty in the earlier rounds, it […]

Looking at Defensive Opportunities Heading to Week 6

With nearly a third of the fantasy season behind us, we should take a look around to see who is excelling, and who has failed to live up to expectations. Fantasy football is a game built on opportunity, and those who see the patterns being laid down are more likely to end up on top.  […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll start by repeating something profound I said in my podcast yesterday: Deshaun Watson is good. I'd put him at the top of this column once again, but it's too obvious in a matchup with Cleveland and you should be starting him anyway. Now that we got that out of the way, I'll continue by […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 6

The under-the-radar booms and busts do not let up just because there are fewer players to choose from! With bye weeks and a mass of injuries ravaging rosters for fantasy football teams across the country, many lineup decisions are automatically made for fantasy owners because some of their players are not suiting up this weekend. […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 6 Lineups

The idea of consistency has become a huge part of fantasy football, and rightfully so. You want players who are going to perform on a weekly basis and will not kill your team with constant duds. In today’s game, consistency has become a measurement of a player’s weekly finish at his position relative to other […]

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/14/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

We've only got four teams left, leaving us with two games on Saturday. The Cubs and the Dodgers face off in Game 1 of their series, while the Yankees and Astros will play their Game 2. It's an interesting slate with only four teams to pick players from, but there's still lots of unique lineups to […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 6

It's Week 6. The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated, the Patriots have looked average at many points, and the Houston Texans are suddenly an offensive oriented team. The NFL, y'all, where things change so fast. Case in point: Amari Cooper would have been cut already if his name wasn't Amari Cooper in all your fantasy […]

Daily Fantasy Hockey Lineup Picks (10/13/17): NHL DFS Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

Week 6 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

Today is Friday the 13th, but the New York Giants have been living a horror movie since early September. In addition to falling to 0-5, New York lost wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall to season-ending injuries this past weekend. It's safe to say the Giants would take a mulligan on this season if […]

Fantasy Football Hacks - Sneaky Loopholes to Give You an Advantage

Where there are rules, there are loopholes. There are ways to implement sneaky strategies that could either be viewed as genius or sketchy.  The two questions are: 1) How far are you willing to go to get an advantage in your league?  2) How long can you keep it going until others pick up on […]

Five Point Guards to Target in Fantasy Basketball

It’s been way too long. The NFL does not satisfy my taste for entertainment like it used to and this offseason has been painfully exhilarating. Luckily, we are in the waning stages of the NBA offseason and every team will have played their last preseason game by Friday. While the takes from preseason must be […]

Week 6 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

There was plenty of parity last week, but I have a feeling we're going to see some blowouts on Sunday. It feels a little funny putting a Jets tight end, a Texans quarterback, and a Broncos running back in my top five, but fantasy football is a funny game after all. As an expert ranker […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 6)

Plainly and simply, this will be your weekly list of those end-of-roster guys that you can safely let go of, with the occasional unfortunate star player that finds his way here due to injury.

Week 6 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

As we leave Week 5 and enter Week 6 of the 2017 NFL season, we have a sizeable chunk of data to evaluate. With five games of film on the majority of teams, we’re reaching the point where slow starts or infrequent usage can no longer be ignored. Furthermore, we’re in the thick of bye […]

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts for Week 6

Week 5 of the NFL season was, in a target share sense, fairly heavy on the chalk. Only two players owned in less than half of Yahoo leagues had more than eight balls thrown their way, as we see usage stabilize throughout the league and quarterbacks perhaps re-focusing on their proven commodities. I expect we'll […]

Finkelstein (@Seth_Fink) October 4, 2017 I am damned. I had two entries in my survivor pool. Three weeks ago, I chose the Ravens over the Jags and […]
