Conor Sheary Signs Tryout Deal with Rangers

Winger Conor Sheary has signed a professional tryout contract with the New York Rangers. He hopes to earn a new NHL deal in training camp after mutually terminating his contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sheary was two years into a three-year, $6 million pact, but he clearly wasn't happy with his situation in the […]

Coming out of the All-Star break, Major League Baseball is back up to full speed and sprinting toward the trade deadline, which is coming up at the end of the month. As teams look to find upgrades at various positions and put themselves in position for the playoffs, it's also a great time to pick […]

Best Ball Fantasy Football Mock Draft - RotoBaller Staff Strategies, Roster Construction, Sleepers, Value Picks

You've probably heard your favorite fantasy football analyst say it: "I'd only draft that guy in Best Ball". What does that mean, really? When someone says they'd only take a player in Best Ball, they're usually referring to players who are prone to spike weeks. That's one of the biggest reasons Best Ball can be […]

Denny Hamlin an Easy DFS Target After Wreck in Qualifying

Denny Hamlin easily had one of, if not the best cars in the field at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday...until he didn't. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was the fastest in practice and looked great on the stopwatch, and then looked as though he was going to easily win the pole in qualifying until the […]

Arvid Soderblom Agrees to Two-Year Deal with Blackhawks

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Arvid Soderblom has signed a two-year, $5.5 million extension, avoiding salary arbitration. He came off a two-year, $1.925 million deal this summer. Soderblom has become a regular in the Blackhawks crease over the last couple of years, finishing with a 10-18-7 record in 33 starts last term. It was a tough campaign […]

Kyle Larson Will Start 13th to Defend Brickyard 400 Crown

Kyle Larson is the defending winner of the Brickyard 400, and many people (and sportsbooks) agree that he is the guy to beat for this season's running of the crown jewel race. Larson qualified 13th on Saturday afternoon, so he'll have a little work to do once the race goes green at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. […]

Chase Briscoe on Pole for Brickyard as Momentum Continues to Build

Chase Briscoe is on fire right now, as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has a win and two second-place finishes to his credit over the last five weeks in Cup Series action. Now, he's going to be leading the field to the green for this weekend's Brickyard 400, as the No. 19 Toyota posted the […]

Ryan Blaney Learned a Lot in Practice at Indianapolis

One driver that was surprisingly low on the practice chart at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend was Ryan Blaney, who wound up 32nd-fastest out of 39 cars in the session. It was clear that the No. 12 team just missed the setup, but it didn't improve a ton in qualifying either, as Blaney will roll […]

Brad Keselowski Should Be Very Strong at Indianapolis

Look for Brad Keselowski to have a strong run in the Brickyard 400 on Sunday afternoon. Keselowski is a previous Indianapolis Motor Speedway winner and was in position to challenge for the win in this race last year before running out of fuel on a late restart. Additionally, the No. 6 Ford has been fast […]

Could Bubba Wallace Challenge for a Brickyard 400 Win on Sunday?

Bubba Wallace is currently in the thick of the Playoffs hunt, as the 23XI Racing driver has a 16-point advantage over the cut line with five races to go in the regular season. As we all know, though, a win could cement Bubba's spot in this year's Playoffs, and that could possibly happen. Indianapolis Motor […]

Don't Forget About Ryan Preece at Indianapolis

Make sure you don't overlook Ryan Preece ($7,300 on DraftKings) when building your DFS lineups for the Brickyard 400 this weekend. The Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver qualified back in 23rd for this weekend's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and just last month, Preece was able to walk away from Pocono with an eighth-place finish. Pocono […]

John Hunter Nemechek a Core DFS Play After Qualifying Blunder

Heading into the Brickyard 400 race weekend, many people had their eye on John Hunter Nemechek, as the Legacy Motor Club driver just had his best race of the season one month ago at Pocono, qualifying fourth and finishing sixth when it was all said and done. Pocono is a very similar track to Indianapolis, […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr's Track Record at Indianapolis Is Abysmal

Ricky Stenhouse Jr has been one of the most valuable low-dollar options in DFS this season due to his high positive Place Differential count, and that could definitely be the case again at Indianapolis this weekend, as the Hyak Motorsports driver qualified 32nd for this weekend's Brickyard 400. And when you consider the fact that […]

Todd Gilliland Hoping to Replicate Solid Run at Brickyard

Todd Gilliland had a great result in last year's Brickyard 400, and the Front Row Motorsports driver is hoping to replicate that finish this weekend as well. During media availability earlier this week, Gilliland stated, "Dover was disappointing, but the good thing about this sport is there's another opportunity every week. I had a solid […]

Jesse Love Making Beard Motorsport's First-Ever Attempt at Indianapolis

Jesse Love is back in Cup Series action this weekend, as the 20-year-old driver will be behind the wheel of the No. 62 Chevrolet for Beard Motorsports in the Brickyard 400. This will be the first-ever start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the organization and the driver, as Love as only made three Cup Series […]

Katherine Legge Quite Slow at Indianapolis

Katherine Legge is back behind the wheel of the No. 78 Chevrolet this weekend for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This car itself doesn't have much speed in it no mater who's behind the wheel, and that was showcased again this weekend, as Legge was over four seconds off the pace in practice […]

Toyota Qualifying Dominance Suggests Tyler Reddick is a Strong Contender to Win at Indy

After losing the semifinal round of the In-Season Challenge to Ty Gibbs last week, Reddick is now more free to take risks to fight for wins than he was before being eliminated from the tournament. Although he hasn't won a race to lock himself in the playoffs yet and has contended for wins a lot […]

Ty Gibbs Stands Poised to Win In-Season Challenge

Ty Gibbs looks to both win NASCAR's In-Season Challenge against Ty Dillon today and make up ground in the playoff race as he sits only 52 points behind Bubba Wallace for the last playoff spot. The first mission should be easier as Gibbs is much more talented than Dillon, not to mention the fact that […]

Ross Chastain Likely to Slice Through Brickyard Field, but Might Not Be the Best DFS Option

As usual, Ross Chastain qualified poorly for today's Brickyard 400, where he starts 33rd while both his teammates, the lame duck Daniel Suárez and rookie Shane van Gisbergen surprisingly outqualified him. Since Chastain's racecraft has improved and he crashes much less than he used to, he's definitely a strong choice for DFS Place Differential points. […]

Chris Buescher's Recent History of Fading After Strong Qualifying Runs Makes Him a Poor DFS Option

After years of tending to qualify poorly and moving up through the field as other drivers made mistakes, Buescher has substantially improved in qualifying this year but it seems to have come at the expense of his race speed. Buescher usually tends to outqualify his teammates Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski, but Preece is typically […]

Kyle Busch Unlikely to Recapture His Brickyard Dominance From a Decade Ago

Kyle Busch used to be something of a master at the Brickyard 400 with back-to-back wins in 2015 and 2016, three straight poles from 2016-2018, and the most laps led in any Brickyard in 2016. However, at Richard Childress Racing, he has increasingly struggled at many of the tracks where he used to dominate and […]

Josh Berry Hard to Predict Since He Crashed in His Only Other Brickyard Start

Josh Berry was the most crash-prone driver in his 2024 rookie season, and last year's Brickyard 400 was no exception as he finished 35th and his average running position of 29th was far below his usual standard for last year. Obviously, he has improved to some extent this year after switching from Stewart-Haas Racing to […]

Austin Cindric Slightly Faster in Brickyard Qualifying, but Likely Won't Do Much

Although Austin Cindric had consistent speed on the superspeedways early this season (even the non-drafting ones), he has faded to his typical mediocrity in recent weeks and the onetime road race ace tumbled from 15th to 20th after back-to-back poor finishes at Chicago and Sonoma. Cindric has gotten his qualifying mojo back to some extent […]

Daniel Suarez Likely Needs Strategy or Attrition to Contend

Although Daniel Suárez finished eighth in last year's Brickyard 400, he only had an average running position of 21st so he wasn't very fast and only finished well because of the large numbers that crashed last year. With Connor Zilisch, yesterday's Xfinity Series winner at Indianapolis, expected to take over Suárez's No. 99 car next […]

Lack of Speed Will Likely Sink Austin Dillon at Indianapolis

As he does at many tracks, Austin Dillon has a very mediocre record at Indianapolis, but he has been good at keeping his nose clean and getting slightly above average finishes despite never contending. After finishing 13th last year in his first Indy race with the new NextGen car, Dillon starts 20th today, his worst […]

Michael McDowell Sneakily Consistent in Brickyard 400

Michael McDowell starts 22nd in today's Brickyard 400. McDowell has actually been more consistent here than you might expect sa he has finished no worse than 18th on the oval since 2016, not to mention his win in the last race on the infield road course in 2023. His previous five starts all ame for […]

Noah Gragson Likely to Finish Worse Than He Starts at Indy

Noah Gragson was one of the most significant beneficiaries of the heavy attrition due to numerous crashes in Stage 3 of his first Brickyard 400 last year. Although Gragson started 21st and only had an average running position of 16th, he ended up finishing 9th after several cars ahead of him crashed out. There likely […]

Ty Dillon Will Probably Lose In-Season Challenge Finals

It's an all-Ty showdown in today's final round of NASCAR's laughably unfair In-Season Tournament. This tournament has been an excellent example of the perils of consistency in evaluating race performance as Dillon's first two opponents crashed out and then he pulled a bump and run on Alex Bowman at Sonoma, who had outrun him all […]
