Kyle Busch a Pivot Option with Sneaky DFS Upside at Michigan

Don't overlook Kyle Busch when building your DraftKings lineups for this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400, even though the No. 8 Chevrolet wasn't very fast in practice on Saturday. Kyle Busch has struggled to find speed at most tracks this year, but intermediates has been where this No. 8 team has shined. In 2024, Rowdy ranks […]

Dante Pettis Catches Two Touchdowns In Preseason Win

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis played just 12 snaps in the team's 27-3 preseason win over the Bengals but made them count, catching all three of his targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns, including a 25-yard touchdown grab from Tyson Bagent.

Five Wide Receiver Sleepers - Fantasy Football ADP Values for Drafts

Wide receivers are in high demand in 2024 fantasy football drafts. They are coming off draft boards early and often. With the NFL moving away from traditional bell-cow running backs, it’s easy to see why fantasy players are gravitating toward receivers. Even with so many pass-catchers being taken early in drafts, there are still values […]

Kyle Larson Should Contend at Michigan

Kyle Larson is a three-time winner at Michigan International Speedway and will likely contend for the FireKeepers Casino 400 victory this weekend as well. The No. 5 Chevrolet has been super fast at almost all intermediate tracks this season, and Larson recently went to victory lane at Indianapolis, which is another high-horsepower track. This weekend, […]

Chris Buescher a Core DFS Play at Michigan

You should have plenty of Chris Buescher exposure when building your DFS lineups for Michigan this weekend. The Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver is moderately priced at $8,600 on DraftKings this weekend, and his 18th-place starting spot gives him plenty of Place Differential upside for Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400. Let's not forget that Buescher is also […]

Aidan O'Connell Shows Promise In Raiders' Preseason Battle Against Cowboys.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell's performance in the Raiders' preseason matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday offered a bit of everything. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 96 yards, throwing both a touchdown and an interception. While his stats closely mirrored Gardner Minshew II's, what stood out was O'Connell's key touchdown pass […]

Ross Chastain Fastest in Practice at Michigan

Ross Chastain is in the thick of the battle for the last few remaining spots in the playoffs, so he needs some good runs--or, even better, a win--if he wants to make the postseason. And this weekend at Michigan, it's looking like the Trackhouse Racing driver has something to work with for the FireKeepers Casino […]

Rome Odunze Hauls First Professional Catch

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze saw an increase in snaps to 20 during the 27-3 preseason win over the Bengals, catching one of two targets for a 45-yard gain from quarterback Caleb Williams. Odunze also rushed for the first time in his professional career, gaining 16 yards. The Bears' offense showed some exciting flashes […]

Christopher Bell May Fly Under the Radar at Michigan Due to Awful Track Record

Due to qualifying getting rained out on Saturday and the starting lineup being set by the performance metric, Christopher Bell will start from third-place in this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Despite that, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver could still potentially fly under the radar on Sunday. Believe it or not, Christopher […]

Zamir White Has Solid Showing Vs. Cowboys

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White's preseason performance on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys showed promise, highlighted by a 17-yard run that boosted his nightly total to 23 yards on four carries. While the stat line looks promising, it's important to note that most of his production came from a single play. As the […]

Michigan Is a Strong Track for Austin Dillon

The most controversial driver in NASCAR right now will start from 10th-place in this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Now the question is, will he be able to contend for the win again and actually get into the playoffs fair and square? While it is unlikely that Austin Dillon has race-winning speed […]

Caleb Williams Throws For 75 Yards In Preseason Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams appeared in 22 plays during Saturday's 27-3 preseason victory over the Bengals, completing six of 13 passes for 75 yards. Following a stellar debut in a limited appearance, Williams' efficiency took a step back in his second professional outing. His escapability and rushing upside were evident, with a seven-yard touchdown […]

Ian Happ With Another Home Run On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ continued his power surge on Saturday, going 1-for-4 with his 22nd home run of the season in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Daniel Suarez Struggling to Find Speed at Michigan

Even though Michigan International Speedway has been a good track for Daniel Suarez in the Next Gen era, the No. 99 Trackhouse Racing team has struggled to find speed for this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400, as Daniel was just 31st-fastest in practice on Saturday. That was even more surprising considering his teammate, Ross Chastain, was […]

How Do The Fantasy Football Playoffs Work? When Do They Start?

Every fantasy football manager dreams of winning their league championship, but that can't happen without first making the playoffs. In fact, missing the fantasy playoffs often comes with its fair dose of embarrassment, especially in formats where at least half of the league makes the bracket. But how do the fantasy football playoffs work? When […]

Michael McDowell Has Awful Track Record at Michigan

If you're a MIchael McDowell fan, you're likely not a very big fan of Michigan International Speedway. In 17 career starts in the Irish Hills, McDowell has never finished better than 20th, and in the two Next Gen races he has walked away with results of 28th and 24th. Is there upside for the Front […]

Late-Round Fantasy Football QBs With League-Winning Upside

For many years, the late-round quarterback strategy has been an approach preferred by many fantasy gamers. The idea is that instead of selecting one of the top quarterbacks early in drafts, you simply wait and take one who offers similar upside later in the draft. This allows you to find strong options at other positions […]

Erik Jones has Place Differential Upside at Michigan

Don't sleep on Erik Jones this weekend at Michigan International Speedway. Although the No. 43 Toyota has had disappointing race speed in most events this season, Jones is more than capable to ending up a solid DFS option in this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400 thanks to the combination of his 28th-place starting spot and his […]

Nate Sudfeld Struggles Again Saturday

Detroit Lions quarterback Nate Sudfeld only completed 14 of 27 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the preseason win against Kansas City. The 30-year-old has never started an NFL game and looks to be losing the backup job to Hendon Hooker. Sudfeld had his most impressive drive when he completed a […]

Carson Hocevar a Very Risky DFS Pick at Michigan

Carson Hocevar has been one of the most consistent finishers in the NASCAR Cup Series this season, and while that kind of predictability is typically a good thing for fantasy players, Hocevar is a pretty risky pick in this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan. Thanks to the starting lineup being set by the metric […]

JJ Laap Hauls In TD Pass For Rams

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver JJ Laap caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett in the team's 13-9 win over the Chargers on Saturday. Laap's TD catch ended up being the difference in the game as he caught both of his targets for 50 receiving yards. Laap is a rookie out of Cortland […]

Todd Gilliland Yet Again a Tournament Option at Michigan

Todd Gilliland should once again be on your radar at Michigan when it comes to DFS lineups in large-field tournaments. The Front Row Motorsports driver is priced at just $6,000 on DraftKings this weekend but he starts in 20th, so he's likely to go pretty low-owned since the Place Differential upside isn't there. However, Gilliland […]

Boston Scott Effective With Limited Carries

Los Angeles Rams running back Boston Scott got just 10 carries in the team's preseason game against the Chargers but he gained 55 yards. He did not record a catch out of the backfield.
