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.

Los Angeles Rams running back Zach Evans led the team's backfield in touches during the second week of the preseason against the Chargers on Saturday. Evans carried 16 times for 62 yards. The 3.88 yards per carry wasn't super efficient but he got some good work in. Boston Scott had 10 carries for 55 yards […]

Tight Ends to Avoid in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues

This may be the year when tight ends are finally cool again. The position seems deeper than it's been in years, which is especially true at the top of the position where there are four to six players fantasy managers can argue for being the TE1 this season. We haven't had that kind of upper-tier […]

Stetson Bennett Throws TD Pass In Start

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett earned the start and played the team's entire preseason game in a 13-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Bennett completed 17-of-31 passes for 213 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The first thing that stands out is that he did a better job of taking care of […]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Dairon Blanco got a rare start on Saturday and made the most of it, homering twice and driving in seven runs during a 3-for-5 day at the plate in a 13-1 romp over the Reds.
