Melvin Gordon (RB, SD) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

He's losing goal line touches to Danny Woodhead. DANNY WOODHEAD. Danny Woodhead is the exact antithesis of a "goal-line threat" RB. Typically those RBs are like 6 foot, 250 pounds and score by leaning forward and trusting gravity. Danny Woodhead is not 6 foot, 250. Danny Woodhead is closer to 5 foot, 150. Danny Woodhead […]

Peyton Manning (QB, DEN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Surprise! There's a QB who's been even bustier than Andrew Luck this season - I just now realized that was a terrible way to phrase that and good luck getting THAT mental image out of your head. Peyton "Fivehead" Manning and Andrew "Secretly a Cave Troll" Luck in a wet T-shirt contest. Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh. Turns out […]

Doug Martin (RB, TB) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Remember when Doug Martin blew up on the Raiders in 2012? Remember how he hasn't done anything even remotely resembling the same sort of thing since then? If you own Martin, the chances you answered "yes" to question A are pretty high. The chances you answered "yes" to question B are probably pretty slim, though. […]

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Yeah, Robinson was a trendy sleeper pick this season, and he certainly showed up in Week 2, but his Week 3 left a lot to be desired - and the Patriots don't have Vontae Davis like the Colts do. With one of the league's premier shutdown corners covering him, and the Immortal Blake Bortles (which […]

Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Oh hey look, it's my RB2! People were expecting an offensive breakout in South Florida this season, but it looks like the offense is just broken. With losses to the Bills (who are surprisingly good) and the Jaguars (unsurprisingly not good), the Dolphins have been a disappointment this season. Miller came in to this season […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I COULD'VE DRAFTED JULIO JONES I HATE EVERYTHING. Seriously, last year I had Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson and my team was named the WRecking Crew* I could've had the WRecking Crew 2 it even rhymes gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Anyway, Hill was most likely a late first, early second round pick and aside from a Week […]

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Week 4 Lineups Busts

While many people may not believe in Benjamin, I do. Benjamin leads or is tied for the lead on the team in targets, receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns. In Cleveland's last game, Benjamin was targeted 10 times (catching four passes), while hauling in a four-yard TD. This tells me that the young receiver is not just […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts

This isn't a "gang up on the Cardinals" pick, because I do love the Arizona offense in general. This is more about how impressed I have been with Chris Johnson so far this season. The running back formerly known as CJ2k (as well as CJ1k and CJ0k), has run with a purpose that hasn't been […]

Carson Palmer (QB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts?

Palmer has played as many hoped he would following last year's torn ACL. The Cardinals passing game has fired on all cylinders this season, and Larry Fitzgerald has risen like a Phoenix (alright, I admit it, the pun was intended). But with all that being said, Arizona has beat up on some pretty bad defenses […]

Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Rivers has come back to Earth after throwing for 404 yards and two touchdowns in his first game of the season against the Lions. Road games against solid defenses in Cincinnati and Minnesota will do that.  But this week the Chargers host the Browns, who just allowed more than 300 yards in the air at […]

Jason Witten (TE, DAL) - Week 4 Lineups Booms

It is fitting that Jason Witten's Sunday Night Football game will be on the same night and time that The Walking Dead is usually on. Like the zombies on AMC's hit show, Witten keeps chugging along slowly but surely and does not go down easily. The Cowboys tight end is fighting off issues with his legs, but […]

Ameer Abdullah (RB, DET) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Okay, I admit this one requires a little bit of faith. The Lions are 0-3 and head into Seattle on Monday night as almost double digit underdogs. Detroit's offense has been uneven all season and Abdullah has only shown glimpses of the talent that made him a preseason darling of fantasy scribes everywhere. But I have […]

Roddy White (WR, ATL) - Players Showing Warning Signals

After putting up a 4-84 line on eight targets in Week One, Roddy White has disappeared entirely, garnering zero targets since. I glanced around at a few metrics on a few sites and no one seems overly down on Roddy White’s performance, so I can’t fully explain this. I have a friend that used to […]

Andre Johnson (WR, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

FootballOutsiders has DVOA (defense adjusted value over average) and DYAR (defense adjusted yards above replacement) grades for 74 WRs to date. They have Johnson graded as the 74th receiver in both DVOA & DYAR.  His 7-51-0 line through three weeks looks as unimpressive on paper as Johnson looked earning it. With his targets and snap […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers – DraftKings Advice for 10/3/15

Week 4 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

We're back in the mines for Week 4 after an absolutely insane Week 3. Almost every stud and touted mid-range pick went off. I had friends texting me about how their safer cash game lineups would've won tournaments. The DraftKings Milly Maker winner had 301 points. Breathe. I should say that if you haven't yet, go […]

Shane Vereen a Must Start? May Line Up As WR vs. Bills

New York Giants RB Shane Vereen may spend some time lining up as a wide receiver against the Buffalo Bills. The Giants will once again be without WR Victor Cruz as his calf injury will keep him out of the important Week 4 game. New York offense coordinator Ben McAdoo said "It's all hands on […]

Welcome back to my daily fantasy college football picks for DraftKings, where I bring you some of my favorite CFB DFS picks for this week. Week 6 of the College Football season brings plenty of exciting matchups, especially since we're starting to get an idea of which offenses and defenses we should be excited about. […]

Marshawn Lynch May Miss His First Game Since 2011

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch missed Friday's practice and remains a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Detroit Lions. Lynch did not participate in practice at all this week due to his hamstring injury. The injury of Lynch is near a worst-case scenario for fantasy football manaers looking to decide if they can start […]

Has Chris Johnson Officially Overtaken Andre Ellington?

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians has confirmed the team will start Chris Johnson at running back this week against the St. Louis Rams, despite Andre Ellington likely returning. Ellington suffered an injury in Week 1 causing him to sit out a couple of games, and Johnson has made good with the opportunity given to […]

Vikings Rule Charles Johnson Out With Rib Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Charles Johnson will miss Sunday's Week 4 game against the Denver Broncos due to a rib injury. Johnson sat out practice on Friday and was officially ruled out later in the day by the team. The Vikings WR depth could be further in question with Jarius Wright also listed as questionable […]

DeMarco Murray Practices, Questionable For Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Washington Redskins after going through a full practice on Friday. Murray is dealing with a hamstring issue and missed Week 3's victory over the New York Jets after struggling through two lackluster performances to start the season. Murray […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker was in the conversation for best wide receiver in the 2015 NFL draft, but hasn't quite produced as much as many fantasy owners may have hoped. However, you can see Tannehill gaining confidence in the young playmaker, so more […]

Drew Brees Probable for Sunday, Bench Him?

Drew Brees is officially listed as probable to play on Sunday in the New Orleans Saints Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Dealing with a shoulder injury, Brees missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers but is likely to return this week as the Saints are in desperation mode looking […]

Draft Kings Daily Fantasy Soccer: English Premier League Targets For Matchday Eight

Goalkeepers Top Pick Adrian - $4,900 – West Ham United Adrian has a solid matchup this weekend when West Ham travel to The Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland. The Black Cats have gone scoreless in three consecutive games and have the leagues worst defense through the first two months, allowing 16 goals. Not […]

Will Tyrod Taylor Keep Up His Top Ten Rank in 2015?

In his first game as starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, Tyrod Taylor finished as QB13 in fantasy. He finished as a top five fantasy QB in Weeks Two and Three. Cumulatively, Taylor is currently fantasy’s QB5. The former sixth round wide receiver convert has a 98th percentile SPARQ score has sparked the interest of many […]

Is Joseph Randle a Top Ten Running Back?

After a lukewarm start to the season, Joseph Randle put up an exciting 28 plus fantasy points in his last outing, doubling his fantasy points from the first two weeks combined. Three weeks into the season and sitting in the top five of fantasy RB scoring, it may be time to take our first look […]

Daily Fantasy NASCAR: DraftKings DFS Picks & Analysis for the AAA 400

We have arrived at the first elimination race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Only 12 of the 16 Chase drivers will move on to the Contender Round. Going into the race on Sunday, only Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth have their spots locked up leaving the other 14 drivers to fight it out […]

Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

I really want to put Brandon Marshall higher on my Week 4 rankings than he is (6th overall in PPR scoring), but I don't think I can in good conscience. Let me explain. Everyone knows Brandon Marshall is currently being targeted like crazy on the Jets (9, 10, and 14 in last three weeks which […]
