MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/15/24) - Today's Top Lineups

DraftKings chopped up the slate a little more than FanDuel did today. FanDuel has nine games since they included the Reds and Twins. DK chopped it off so they could have a lame two-game early slate. FD also added Coors to their main slate. Ouch! DK's seven-gamer suddenly looks more appetizing. This article will provide […]

MarShawn Lloyd - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd was a great running back prospect drafted out of USC. He posted some eye-popping advanced statistics and many highlight-reel-worthy plays. However, he's a rookie coming off a hamstring injury, so his role and health are unclear. He's a risky start this […]

Will A.J. Brown Play In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has enjoyed two fantastic seasons in a row, finishing as the WR6 and WR5 in PPR fantasy scoring in 2022-2023. Brown got off to another hot start in 2024, catching five passes for 119 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 1. Brown had a highlight reel […]

Darnell Mooney - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Falcons got off to an ice-cold start to the 2024 season. QB Kirk Cousins has had a fantastic career, especially at supporting fantasy-relevant WRs, and Mooney is the No. 2 WR on the Falcons' depth chart. WR Ray-Ray McCloud III led the team in receiving yards […]

Kyle Larson Must Overcome Poor Qualifying Effort At Watkins Glen

Kyle Larson has some work to do if he wants to contend for the win at Watkins Glen this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver made a small mistake during qualifying for this weekend's Go Bowling at The Glen and will roll off the starting grid from 20th-place when the race goes green on Sunday afternoon. […]

Watkins Glen DraftKings NASCAR Lineup Picks and Projections (Premium Content)

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The first round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs continues this weekend, with the Go Bowling at The Glen race at Watkins Glen International on Sunday afternoon. This one has the potential to have some major Championship implications and could put some big-name […]

Christopher Bell Should Contend At Watkins Glen

Look for Christopher Bell to be a factor in this weekend's Go Bowling at The Glen. Bell has the best average finish (6.0) of all Cup Series drivers at this race track and has never finished worse than eighth here in three career starts. He posted a career-best third-place finish in last year's Watkins Glen […]

Could Ty Gibbs Get His First Cup Series Win At Watkins Glen This Weekend?

Ty Gibbs is still knocking on the door of his first NASCAR Cup Series win, and nobody would be surprised if that first victory came at a road course, such as Watkins Glen this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing rookie has emerged as one of the best drivers on the road courses ever since he […]

Tyler Reddick The Chalk DFS Pick At Watkins Glen

Tyler Reddick is going to be a very popular pick on DraftKings this weekend at Watkins Glen. The road course ace was priced low by the DFS site at just a $9,500 salary, and then he went out and qualified 16th for Sunday afternoon's Go Bowling at The Glen--giving him solid Place Differential potential in […]

Martin Truex Jr. Can’t Afford A Bad Finish At Watkins Glen

If Martin Truex Jr. wants to compete for the championship in his final full-time Cup Series season, he likely can't afford to have a bad race at Watkins Glen this weekend, considering he is 19 points below the cut line with just two races left in the first round of the playoffs. Truex also enters […]

Kyle Busch Looks To Continue Hot Streak At Watkins Glen

Despite missing the playoffs and having plenty of bad finishes this season, Kyle Busch is in the middle of quite a hot streak right now. Since the break in the schedule for the Olympics, Rowdy hasn't finished worse than 12th in a Cup Series race, and he's currently on a four-race streak of top-10 finishes […]

Chris Buescher Should Contend For A Top-10 Finish At Watkins Glen

The NASCAR Cup Series is at a road course this weekend, which means it's time to put Chris Buescher on your radar. The Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver has finished 11th or better in 12 straight road course races, and here at Watkins Glen specifically, he has finished seventh and ninth in the Next Gen era. […]

Bubba Wallace Improving On Road Courses But Likely Won't Contend At Watkins Glen

Road courses have always been Bubba Wallace's Achilles heel in the NASCAR Cup Series, as he has only achieved one top-five and two top-10 finishes in 30 road-course starts, with those coming on the Indianapolis and Charlotte rovals that are quite different from a natural road course like Watkins Glen. Having said that, he's definitely […]

Daniel Suarez's Momentum And Watkins Glen Record Bode Well For Playoffs

Although Daniel Suarez is not a lock to advance in the playoffs by any means, it's looking pretty good for him despite how slow he was for most of the season. His second-place finish at Atlanta put him 22 points above the cutline and now he is going to Watkins Glen, where he starts eighth […]

Juan Pablo Montoya Returns To NASCAR But Is Well Past His Prime

Juan Pablo Montoya makes his return to the NASCAR Cup Series for the first time in a decade at Watkins Glen, which brought a lot of renewed attention to his career and legacy. Although many ignorant fans reduced his career to little more than crashing into a jet dryer in the 2012 Daytona 500, it's […]

Road Courses A Low-Key Strength For Corey LaJoie

Although Corey LaJoie has caught more heat for his performance than any driver in a long time, road courses have been one of the sole bright spots for LaJoie this year as he gave Spire Motorsports its then-best qualifying run of fifth at Circuit of the Americas and scored his best-ever driver rating on a […]

Brad Keselowski In Danger Of Missing The Round Of 12

Brad Keselowski's season has been fairly underrated as he currently leads the NASCAR Cup Series in pass differential with 363, which is not something you would likely deduce by the eye test. However, even though he's probably been a top 12 this season, his hopes of advancing to the Round of 12 do not look […]

Road Courses Remain Erik Jones' Achilles Heel

Erik Jones has had a fairly disastrous 2024 season, as he has failed to lead a lap, and his only top-10 finish came 27 races ago in the Daytona 500. Don't expect that to change at Watkins Glen, where Jones starts 25th. Although he did have two top-five finishes there with Joe Gibbs Racing, since […]

Carson Hocevar Qualifies Poorly But Should Deliver Another Solid Finish

Carson Hocevar looks poised to win the NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year battle even though Josh Berry has had a faster car mainly because Berry has been the most crash-prone driver on the circuit while Hocevar has been surprisingly clean. He has been delivering consistent finishes with clocklike regularity as he has only […]

Daniel Hemric Could Benefit From Shane van Gisbergen's Setup Notes At Watkins Glen

Daniel Hemric starts 27th for Sunday's Watkins Glen race. He has only raced at this track once in the NASCAR Cup Series with the Gen 6 car in 2019, where he crashed and finished six laps down. Even in the Xfinity Series, he has never registered a top-10 finish, but he did run better as […]

Noah Gragson Qualifies Well But Probably Won't Sustain It

Despite not being particularly noted as a road racer, Noah Gragson delivered an unexpected ninth-place qualifying run for the lame-duck Stewart-Haas Racing team at Watkins Glen on Saturday. He surprisingly outqualified most of the pre-race favorites. However, he has never finished better than 14th in a road course in the NASCAR Cup Series and he's […]

Austin Cindric Weaker On Road Courses Than Advertised

Austin Cindric has a reputation as a road course specialist that is not entirely warranted. Although he was generally very good in his NASCAR Cup Series starts on road courses in 2021 and 2022, he has only managed two top ten finishes in the nine road course races since. It seems he may have had […]

Harrison Burton Not A Noted Road Racer

Harrison Burton did not get the good luck he needed at Atlanta to have any realistic chance of advancing in the NASCAR playoffs, but he probably wouldn't have been able to do it even if his Team Penske satellite team had dominated with the official Penske teams since Watkins Glen has never been a strong […]

Ryan Blaney Unlikely To Run Well At Watkins Glen

Ryan Blaney has never been very good on road courses relative to his performance on other tracks and this trend has been increasingly pronounced with the Next Gen chassis. He has never finished in the top five or seriously contended on any road or street course with this chassis. In his last 13 races on […]

Adam Thielen Not A Strong Start In Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen caught three of his four targets for 49 yards in the team's Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Although he did lead the team in yards, his target share wasn't encouraging, falling behind WRs Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette, and Jonathan Mingo in total targets. Now the Panthers […]
