Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks For FanDuel (1/29/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

It is a rather short slate tonight at 6:00 PM EST. Forget about those two early games. No one has time for that kind of thing is fantasy basketball, especially since after lineups are locked, there is no changing them. Let's focus on the later games only. In this article, I will be providing you […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/28/17): NBA DFS Advice

The slate is interesting tonight, as it's fairly large, but we only have three players priced at $10k or higher. That means it won't be quite as necessary to find extremely value plays. Still, there are plenty of solid salary relief plays on the slate tonight. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks For FanDuel (1/28/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

There are seven games on the slate tonight that offer plenty of quality matchups to choose from. I would suggest stacking a Suns-Nuggets game, a potentially high-scoring bout between two fast paced teams, led by their offensive skills rather than defense. Although the Grizzlies @ Jazz game will not be nearly as high-scoring, it is […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 14)

There have been a lot of injuries around the NBA lately.

Keeping track of those situations and pouncing on such an opportunity can […]

Fantasy Implications of the Tyler Thornburg Trade

Tyler Thornburg established himself as one of the most reliable closers in baseball in 2016. The then-Brewer took advantage of injuries and trades to eventually earn a closer role and he took full advantage. Thornburg's final stats read: 13 SV, 2.15 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, .162 OPP AVG, and 90 K in 67 IP. The 28-year-old used […]

Houston Astros Top MLB Prospects for 2017 Dynasty Leagues

Houston Astros fans will tell you 2016 was a disappointing season. They appeared to be entering the season with one of the most solid, young cores in baseball backed by a rotation led by the reigning-Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel and a very encouraging season by Lance McCullers. An 84-78 record and third-place finish in […]

Early Sleepers for 2017 - Quarterbacks

Everyone seems to have a different definition for what makes a fantasy football "sleeper." For some, it's simply a player they expect to greatly exceed expectations based on their draft position. For others, sleepers are more like unknown commodities - deeper under the radar than mere value picks. For example, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson currently […]

Should Fantasy Baseball Owners Avoid Adam Jones?

There is a narrative that Adam Jones is in decline. But is that true? First, let’s distinguish real-life decline from fantasy baseball decline. Many of the “Jones is in decline” crowd point to his defense, which is not relevant to fantasy baseball. Jones posted -10 Defensive Runs Saved last year, but Jones had positive grades […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: DeAndre Jordan and Kristaps Porzingis?

Dylan Bundy - Breakout Candidate

Dylan Bundy has a prospect pedigree as good as anyone in baseball. He was previously Baseball America’s and MLB.com’s number two prospect. In 2012, his first year out of high school, he made it to the majors. In my March 2014 Orioles’ prospect rankings, I had Bundy as a 9.5/10 talent; I would not lower […]

Wide receivers played a bigger factor than ever in fantasy football this season.
