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 product is a TRUE Keeper Value for each player. Consider the derived Values the […]

Fantasy Fallout: Who Will Close After the Yankees' Trade for Aroldis Chapman

Just a few weeks after the Cuban flamethrower was set to head out to Hollywood. Instead, Chapman is heading to Broadway. The Yankees traded for Chapman on Monday, giving themselves a belated Christmas gift and bolstering a bullpen that already featured Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller. The Bombers sent Caleb Cotham, Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, […]

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

For most fantasy players, the champagne has been popped after the commencement of Week 16. For others, the cork is still on the bottle. 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 Waiver Wire Pickups Overview: Zach Ertz, Bilal Powell, Ryan Fitzpatrick

Playoff Waiver Wire Adds for Week Seventeen Week 16 of the NFL season is through, and for most folks reading this it means your fantasy football championships are over. For the few of you remaining in week 17 leagues, we're here for you. Week 16 saw Cam Newton turn in one of his worst performances to date while Kirk Cousins obliterated the […]

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 […]

Nate Washington Continues to Thrive as the No. 2 Wideout

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Nate Washington isn't going to pass DeAndre Hopkins on the depth chart anytime soon, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any value. Washington finished with three catches for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's rout of the Tennessee Titans. The score […]

Look for Markus Wheaton to Bounce Back

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Markus Wheaton, like the rest of the players in the Pittsburgh Steelers' passing offense, was disappointing in Sunday's road loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He finished with 41 yards on just three receptions, snapping a four-game stretch where Wheaton had at least 65 […]

Terrance Williams Could Have FLEX Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any appeal that Terrance Williams might have will be directly tied to Dez Bryant. If Bryant's foot injury keeps him out of the lineup for the season finale, Williams will enter as Kellen Moore's de facto No. 1 wide receiver. Williams finished with four […]

Grab Sam Bradford for his Appealing Week 17 Matchup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford has scored 16 and 17 fantasy points in his last two games (vs. Arizona and vs. Washington), and on paper, this is an even easier matchup. Heading into Week 16, the New York Giants have given up 15 fantasy points or […]

Give A.J. McCarron a Look in Deep Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I don’t really care what AJ McCarron does Monday Night against the Denver Broncos-- his matchup against that elite defense won’t say much about his performance against the Baltimore Ravens. In his first two games with significant playing time, he has shown that […]

Brandon Weeden Impressing in Houston

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If there is one thing Brandon Weeden does really well, I would have to say it is feeding his top receiving weapon over and over again. We saw it with Josh Gordon in 2013, and we saw it with DeAndre Hopkins (11 targets […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/29

Jameer Nelson (vs. CLE) - $4,700 Tonight's a value night at point guard for me. Emmanuel Mudiay is still out for the Nuggets, and Denver has continued to show confidence in Nelson as long as he has been healthy. Matthew Dellavedova is a tough matchup, but Nelson only needs 20 FDP or so to hit […]

Jeff Green (SF, MEM) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/29

Jeff Green (vs. MIA) - $4,500 Matt Barnes will miss the next two games for Memphis after his suspension, and while we don't know exactly how those minutes will be doled out yet, I'm willing to assume that Green will get a handful of them. That would likely put him right at 30 minutes, and […]

Ty Lawson (PG, HOU) and James Harden (SG, HOU) - Stack on FanDuel 12/29

Ty Lawson (vs. ATL) - $3,700 Despite coming off the bench, Lawson is beginning to see more minutes the past couple of games. Remember when he was the focal point of the Nuggets' offense? Well, he can be just that on the Rockets' second unit. Lawson is starting to shoot the ball more, and it […]
