FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks & Sleepers for the 10/6 - 10/7 Wild Card Games

I'm not sure what is harder to believe - the fact it's now playoffs time (I felt like I was writing opening day strategy pieces just yesterday), or the fact that two deserving fan-bases (see: Astros and Cubs) aren't guaranteed a home playoff game after their teams strung together incredible seasons. Anywho, the FanDuel action […]

Eddie Royal, Dorial Green-Beckham - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, TEN - 18% owned on Fleaflicker Unfortunately, we don't have four weeks of stats to evaluate on Green-Beckham.
