NBA Centers: Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups and Sleepers

The center position has been surprisingly healthy this year. This is good for basketball but leaves little opportunity for potential waiver wire stars. Every week Ian Mahinmi and Jordan Hill are on the must pick up big men list. They continue to put up stellar numbers night in and night out for a good Indiana […]

Maxx Williams a Desperation TE Play

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most fantasy owners and pundits probably assumed that Baltimore’s pass offense would go down the drain faster than your mother-in-law’s cold onion soup once Joe Flacco suffered his season-ending injury.  But journeymen backups Jimmy Clausen and Ryan Mallett have amazingly not allowed […]

Ol' Vance McDonald Helps Teams Not Buy the Farm

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: McDonald has taken over as San Francisco’s starting tight end since Garrett Celek sprained an ankle and has quietly been solid.  In three of his last five games he has racked up 60-plus yards along with a touchdown, including this past Sunday […]

Zach Ertz the Target Monster

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ertz’s 2015 campaign was rockier than Rick Perry’s presidential campaign.  He went without a touchdown catch for the first 10 games and missed a week due to a concussion.  But at least Ertz’s 2015 is ending on a much higher note than […]

Draymond Green (PF, GS) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/30

Draymond Green (at DAL, $9,200) Although it's a term I don't like to drop often, Draymond has nearly become a "must-play" these days. He's racking up fantasy points at an incredible rate and the best part about it as that he has a solid floor of minutes and doesn't rely on shot-making to rack up […]

Rajon Rondo (PG, SAC) and Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) - Stack on FanDuel 12/30

Rajon Rondo (vs PHI, $7,800) I'm going with counterparts in this Philly-SacTown matchup, one that I found particularly intriguing in GPP's due to two less than stellar defenses, a high point total projection and the pace in which both these squads play. Despite dropping 39 and 35 FPTS last week, Rondo had one of his […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/30

Ish Smith (at SAC, $5,200) Ish might be the flavor of the week and all that, but I can't resist him at this price point. I happened to catch the Sixers-Jazz game the other night, and Smith was incredibly impressive. He had the look and feel of a guy completely in control of the offense […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/30/15

Ten-game Wednesday ought to be pretty fun and fairly tricky. We've got a few games projected to be tight contests (Clippers at Hornets, Pacers at Bulls, and Jazz at Timbervoles) with spreads of three points or less, a few with projected point totals over 206 (Lakers at Celtics, Warriors at Mavericks), a few with absolutely […]

Chris Paul (PG, LAC) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/30

Chris Paul (at CHA, $9,200) Paul continues to work his way into this article, and that’s because DraftKings has not appropriately increased his price. He gets a somewhat tough matchup against the Hornets tonight, but Paul is matchup proof without Blake Griffin in the lineup. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 22.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/30

Ish Smith (at SAC, $5,600) If you remember back when Smith was playing big minutes for the Pelicans earlier this season, his price was closer to $7,000. That’s where it should be tonight, as he’s coming off a huge game, in which he recorded 22 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 steals for the Sixers. He’s […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) and Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) - DraftKings Stack for 12/30

DeMarcus Cousins (vs PHI, $10,000) Cousins gets a matchup against the Sixers tonight, and they don’t have anyone that will be able to slow him down. Check before the game starts to make sure he didn’t get suspended because of his actions the other night. If he’s starting, he makes a great option. Before his last game, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/30/15

The NBA has a lot of exciting young talent, but with the recent injury to Eric Bledsoe, the youngest player in the NBA, Devin Booker, will be playing heavy minutes. Booker is only 19 years old, which is younger than yours truly. That, everyone, is a bitter sweet feeling. In this article, I will be […]

The Bombers sent Caleb Cotham, Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, […]

Week 17 Deeper Sleepers: All Good Things Must Come To An End

Or perhaps you use the reading material for DFS purposes of just plain out love fantasy football. Regardless, let's bring that trophy home! Same rules as always - in this column we will […]

Kevin Love (PF, CLE) - Safe DraftKings Play for 12/29

Kevin Love (at DEN, $7,600) I’m kind of trying to figure out why- why is his price so low? Love is the second most expensive power forward on tap for Tuesday night, yet he will most likely be the top producer at the spot for the evening. Kenneth Faried is a plus interior defender, but he is going […]

Matthew Dellavedova (PG, CLE) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/29

Matthew Dellavedova (at DEN, $4,800) This was a real toss up between Delly and Jameer Nelson, but in the end, it makes sense to go with the Aussie. Neither of these guys is an any danger of losing a lot of minutes to the guy behind them- keep in mind that Kyrie Irving will most likely not play- so projecting […]

Week 17 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Zach Ertz, Vance McDonald and Maxx Williams

Although Week 17 can be as unpredictable as global-warmed weather due to teams shutting players down either for the playoffs or to spare them from needless injury in meaningless games, there are still some fantasy leagues out there that use the last week of the NFL season as their fantasy Super Bowl. If a fantasy owner […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/29/15

With the exception of what may transpire in Oklahoma City, every game figures to be relatively close, theoretically leading to much more minutes for the starters. That’s how the theory goes. Most of the teams on slate also played on Monday night, so there’s that too. Have fun on this six-game schedule! In this article, […]

Dontrelle Inman Looking Like the Top Target in San Diego

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman has certainly looked like a reliable wide receiver over the last two weeks for the San Diego Chargers. After catching three passes for 78 yards against the Miami Dolphins, he tallied eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown on Christmas Eve against the […]

Marqise Lee Could Be on the Verge of Breaking Out

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee had his best overall game of the season in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, finishing with three catches for 26 yards and a touchdown. It's been a quiet season for Lee as fellow wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen […]

Corey Brown's Usage Likely to Increase

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Monitor the status of Ted Ginn Jr., who left Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a knee injury. If Ginn were to miss the regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown would certainly get a bump in value. Brown finished with three […]
