NFL Divisional Weekend Daily Fantasy Football Stacks

That was fun, wasn't it? Wild-card weekend is a wrap, and jeez, was it wild. It started with a kickoff return for a touchdown, ended with the Green Bay Packers completing the first-ever wild-card weekend sweep for road teams, and in between we had a shutout in Houston, a self-inflicted collapse and near riot in […]

NBA DFS Cap Management, Part 1: The Well-Rounded & Stud/Dud Approaches

Since it isn't real money, we should spend it all, right? Daily Fantasy participants often make the mistake of feeling the need to leave $0 left in their remaining salary, hoping to maximize production by draining every last penny in the proverbial bank account DraftKings and FanDuel provides us. What's the point in wasting $400, […]

Amir Johnson (PF/C, BOS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Amir Johnson has kicked off 2016 with a nice little stretch for the Celtics. Over his last five contests, Johnson has averaged 12.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 0.2 steals in 28 minutes per game. The one knock on […]

Mirza Teletovic (PF, PHO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: I can hear Philip Seymour Hoffman yelling "let it rain!" when I think of Mirza Teletovic's offensive game. All the guy does is shoot three-pointers, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Suns have all but waved the white flag on […]

Manu Ginobili (SG/SF, SA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: 38-year-old Argentinian sixth man Manu Ginobili is not what he once was, and he's not what you'd call consistent, but on Tuesday night he reminded us he can still be a solid contributor. Manu scored 15 points, and added five rebounds, two […]

College Basketball Rankings: Top 10 NCAA Teams in the Country

There are plenty of polls--the Associated Press, ESPN, USAT Today, to name a few--but none look at the top college basketball teams in the land from the perspective of the fantasy hoops player. So which teams rate in the Top 10, according to fantasy metrics? Each week, we'll be bringing you the top 10 NCAA Basketball teams […]

Aaron Brooks (PG, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for a Short Term Boost at PG OWNED: 4% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues It's never good news when you hear the words "Derrick Rose" and "left knee" in the same sentence. The oft-injured former MVP left Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, saying something "just didn't feel right."  The current […]

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Top Option on FanDuel for 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NO, $10,600 ANALYSIS: DMC has been on fire over the past week, exceeding value in his last five games, four times eclipsing 50 fantasy points and twice eclipsing 60. On a night where there are lots of value plays at other positions and the options at center don't look to appealing - whether […]

Cody Zeller (PF, CHA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHR, $4,900 ANALYSIS: While my projection models still project Zeller to have a pretty low floor (6-8 fantasy points), his production has been steady recently and more importantly for tonight, he draws a nice matchup. In his last eight games, Zeller has only played less than 28 minutes once, and that was in […]

Andrew Wiggins (SF, MIN) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Due to the facts that his fantasy point totals can be up and down and he (normally) relies heavily on hitting shots to score on FanDuel, I'm not confident in Wiggins enough to play him in cash tonight. That said, I love the price tag and the potential for a […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - FanDuel Bargain Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $7,600 ANALYSIS: The Splash Brothers have an ideal matchup tonight in a projected high scoring game against a Denver team that doesn't do much to slow down opposing guards. For the production I'm expecting out of Klay tonight, even with a price tag above 7K, I'm considering him a bargain. I normally […]

Tyreke Evans (PG, NO) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Tyreke is back to his drive-to-the-basket-at-all-costs ways, and as a result, his fantasy production has skyrocketed after taking a few dips in early and mid December. Not only has he recorded 36 fantasy points or more in each of his last four games, he's playing a lot of minutes, which helps […]

Amir Johnson (PF, BOS) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/13/16

Amir Johnson (vs IND, $4,900) Johnson has surprisingly been playing well for his price recently. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 12.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game. His minutes tend to fluctuate each night, which is a bit worrisome, but he could provide great value tonight. He gets a good matchup […]

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/13/16

Damian Lillard (vs UTA, $9,200) Lillard gets a bit overlooked because of other options at point guard, such as Westbrook and Curry, but he also has tremendous upside. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 27.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He has scored 57.75 and 69.75 fantasy points in his […]

Kristaps Porzingis (PF, NYK) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/13/16

Kristaps Porzingis (at BKN, $7,000) Porzingis stated before the draft that his favorite part about the NBA is that he would have a gym that he could practice in every day. Well, he must be putting in the extra time because he has continuously gotten better and better as the season progresses. Last night, he scored a […]

Brad Miller (SS, TB) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: 245 CURRENT ADP: 277 ANALYSIS: Steamer only projects Miller to rack up 475 plate appearances, though I really can’t see Tim Beckham pushing Miller out of the way that much. Last year for Seattle he hit 11 bombs and swiped 13 bags in 497 PAs. Safeco Field was 27th in Park Factor for runs in 2015, whereas […]

Jon Edwards (RP, SD) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~375 CURRENT ADP: --- ANALYSIS: Those dashes don’t mean that I’m too lazy to look his ADP up, he straight up doesn’t have one. The last RP listed is the Twins’ Alex Meyer with an ADP of 712, just so you get an idea of how available this guy is. As you may or may not be […]
