Quarterback Outlooks: Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer and Drew Brees

Peyton Manning will have to keep Brock Osweiler’s seat on the bench warm for at least one more week. The Denver Broncos announced that Osweiler will be the team’s starter for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals and Manning will not be active for the contest. That means if something were to happen to the […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Stevie Johnson, Amari Cooper and Alshon Jeffery

San Diego Chargers wide receiver Stevie Johnson hasn’t helped his owners getting to championship week, but now that it’s finally here – he might be able to help! Johnson has missed the past two weeks with a groin injury, but finally returned to practice this week. If Johnson plays on Thursday night against the Oakland […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/23

James Harden (at ORL, $10,600) Harden gets a tremendous matchup against the Magic tonight, as they love pushing the pace and turning games into shootouts. They focus much more of offense than defense, which leaves spots for Harden to attack. Harden is a triple double threat for the Rockets, and he makes up the majority of their […]

Khris Middleton (SG, MIL) and Greg Monroe (C, MIL) - DraftKings Stack for 12/23

Khris Middleton (vs PHI, $5,900) Middleton continues to be a bit underpriced, as he has been on fire recently. Over the last 10 days, Middleton is averaging 17.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He plays huge minutes for the Bucks, and his minutes are essentially guaranteed every night. He has already played […]

Tim Frazier (PG, POR) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/23

Tim Frazier (at NO, $3,600) Damian Lillard has been ruled out tonight, which means Frazier should get some more run at point guard again tonight. If C.J. McCollum is also out, Frazier quickly becomes one of the best plays on the night. He’s coming off a start, in which he played 48 minutes and scored 12 points with seven rebounds, […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/22/15

Another four-game slate is on tap for this Tuesday. The small amount of games means that cash and 50/50 games are likely to get saturated by randomness and wild cards. But fear not! The Sixers and Lakers are both playing. You could probably get away with stacking Grizzlies and Nuggets in the long run. In […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/22/15

Another four games on this Tuesday night, but there should be plenty of points and value to be had. One game should be a blowout, and while the other should be close, one has a clear advantage in presumed pace. The Lakers and Nuggets both love to push the tempo, so remember that when it […]

Cameron Artis-Payne Can Bring the Pain

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: He easily led the committee out of Carolina, rushing 14 times for 59 yards and catching both of his targets for 34 yards. We don't know yet what Jonathan Stewart's status will be for Week 16, but if he can't go then […]

Donald Brown Could Take you to Title-Town

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 3% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: On Sunday, Melvin Gordon went down with a knee injury and was out for the rest of the game. The reports say that the San Diego rookie has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Enter "Dammit" Donald Brown. For the […]

It all comes down to this…for some of you! If you are lucky enough to be alive in the playoffs in your fantasy football league, you are either in your semifinals or you are in the Super Bowl because your league skips the last week of the season.  So every point you get from your […]

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]

We're here to give you […]

Bilal Powell the Jet's Secret Receiving Weapon

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It appears the Jets have finally found a really nice way to utilize Powell out of the backfield. He is showing some strength in his runs and his usually reliable set of hands in the passing game. With defenses trying their […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) and Kenneth Faried (PF, DEN) - DraftKings Stack for 12/22

Jameer Nelson (vs LAL, $5,400) The only team worse than the Nuggets at defending the point is….drumroll, please….the Lakers. Big surprise, right? Truth be told, I am not in love with Nelson here, but he is the best option in an otherwise poor field. Lou Williams presents some value but will most likely be splitting time with D’Angelo Russell […]

James White "Catching On" to Patriot Way

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% owned in Fleaflicker <-- yes I cheated a smidge to include him. ANALYSIS: If James White is somehow still available in PPR leagues you need to get him. Even if standard though, he has proven that he is trusted by Tom Brady in the passing attack […]
