Why You Should Fade Austin Dillon In DFS This Weekend At Chicago

Austin Dillon will start from P15 in Sunday's Grant Park 165 from Chicago, IL. With just two top-10s on the season and with three DNFs in his last four races, 2024 has been a disaster for the 14-year Cup veteran. While it is not uncommon for a driver to have a bounce-back performance following a […]

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Hitters for HR, SB, RBI, AVG, Runs (Week 15)

Is your fantasy baseball team in need of a boost in a specific category? Maybe it's a shot in the arm in runs scored or an influx of RBI? Monitoring how well you are performing in each offensive category and addressing those categories in need throughout the season is a great way to keep your […]

Ozzie Albies Homers, Drives In Three

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Phillies, homering for his second straight game and extending his hit streak to nine games. Over the nine-game stretch, the 27-year-old is 14-for-36 (.389) with three doubles, two home runs, five RBI, seven runs […]

Fantasy Football QB/TE Stacks You Must Draft in 2024

Stacking your fantasy football quarterback with their top wide receiver can sometimes be a cheat code, earning a near-automatic win when the pair connects for a touchdown or two. The same idea can be applied to a QB-TE stack, but those aren't necessarily as cost effective. In standard fantasy football formats, managers start one quarterback […]

Kirby Yates Nails Down 13th Save

Texas Rangers closer Kirby Yates picked up his 13th save of the season in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays. Yates faced only three batters and needed just 10 pitches to get through the frame. It was his second consecutive day with a save so his availability for Sunday is unclear. Nevertheless, Yates has been […]

Should You Target Austin Cindric In DFS This Weekend?

Austin Cindric has qualified 21st for Sunday's Grant Park 165 street race from Chicago, IL. Given how inconsistent he has been at the Cup level, Cindric is not typically a driver that we look to target most weeks when building our DFS lineups. A great example of how inconsistent he can be is seen in […]

The Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Age Cliff: Should You Fade These Veterans?

We have all grown an emotional attachment to athletes over the years. It is especially easy to do so when that player goes off yearly and has led you to some great wins in fantasy football and some even better memories in real life. Maybe this player has even helped you win a title or […]

Chad Green Nabs Fourth Save

Toronto Blue Jays closer Chad Green picked up his fourth save of the season in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners. Green came on to get one out in the eighth, then recorded the final three outs in the ninth. It didn't come without some drama though as the 33-year-old coughed up a home run […]

Why You Should Limit Your Exposure To Chase Briscoe In The Chicago Street Race

On Saturday afternoon, Chase Briscoe qualified 22nd for the Grant Park 165 street race in Chicago, IL. Because this will be just the second street race in Cup history, there is not a lot of information to help us project this race, which means we have to look at other data points when doing our […]

Is A.J. Allmendinger A Core Play In DFS This Weekend?

A.J. Allmendinger will start 37th in Sunday's Grant Park 165 from the streets of Chicago, IL. Because of his reputation as a road course ringer, and considering that he finished 11th in this race last year, Allmendinger was already being looked at as one of the top plays on the slate heading into the weekend. […]

Is Kyle Busch A DFS Recommendation For Chicago?

Richard Childress Racing driver Kyle Busch qualified 19th for this week's Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course. This is exactly one position lower than his starting position in last year's race at Chicago and the fifth time in what will be seven races that Busch will start outside of the Top 10. Busch […]

Alex Bowman a Sleeper with a Ton of Speed at Chicago Street Course

One of the fastest drivers in practice at the Chicago Street Course this weekend was Alex Bowman in the No. 48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. In terms of five- and 10-lap average during the session, Bowman was the fastest among all 40 drivers in the field, and he went out and qualified inside the top […]

Bubba Wallace Has Speed at Chicago Street Course

Keep an eye on Bubba Wallace in the Grant Park 165 on Sunday at the Chicago Street Course. The 23XI Racing driver looked stout in practice on Saturday, ending up with the sixth-fastest five-lap average and the second-best 10-lap average during the session. Bubba went on to qualify sixth for the race, a positive sign […]

What To Do With Injured Fantasy Football TEs: T.J. Hockenson, Greg Dulcich, And More

The tight-end position has never been deeper in fantasy than it is heading into this season. In years prior, there were only 1-4 solid options, and the rest were all the same. However, that is certainly not the case in 2024.  Sam LaPorta is currently the best option at the position in drafts, but waiting […]

Eli White - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Pickups (Week 16)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Braves outfielder Eli White was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, July 5. White will join an injury-ridden Atlanta outfield, which could make him a sneaky add in deeper leagues. In 53 games at Triple-A this season, the 30-year-old posted a .294/.402/.462 […]

John Hunter Nemechek Not a Road Race Ace, but Solid at Chicago

Although John Hunter Nemechek has never finished better than 21st on a road course in the NASCAR Cup Series before, he may contend for his best-ever road course finish in today's Chicago Street Course race after qualifying 12th. While Nemechek didn't enter last year's race, he started the rain-shortened Xfinity Series race the previous day, […]

Despite Locking Himself Into Playoffs, Joey Logano Still Lacks Speed

While Joey Logano's shock Nashville victory locked him into the playoffs, he is continuing to have arguably his most mediocre season at Team Penske to date and don't expect that to change just because he won last Sunday. Logano's speed percentile in the Cup Series currently ranks 15th at 59.77%, which is substantially slower than […]

Corey LaJoie Looks to Replicate Season-Best Sonoma Run at Chicago

Much like his Spire Motorsports teammate Carson Hocevar, Corey LaJoie has done a good job finishing races but has also been involved in quite a few sloppy incidents where he overdrove and took out other cars. LaJoie has received the brunt of the criticism this year because Hocevar has regularly outrun him as a rookie […]

Erik Jones's Recent Road Course Record Too Mediocre to Contend

Erik Jones qualified 25th for this afternoon's race on the Chicago Street Course. Jones had a fairly anonymous run in this race last year when he started 21st and finished 16th. However, since Legacy Motor Club switched to Toyota, their cars have been slower than they were last year while Jones is still recovering from […]

Carson Hocevar Looks to Redeem Himself After Rough Driving Penalty

Carson Hocevar came under fire after last week's Nashville race for intentionally right-hooking Harrison Burton under caution, which resulted in a $50,000 fine and 25-point penalty, making it increasingly unlikely he will overtake Josh Berry for Rookie of the Year honors. It wasn't the first time Hocevar had engaged in such aberrant behavior. However, unlike […]

Austin Hill Makes NASCAR Cup Series Debut at Chicago Street Course

Austin Hill qualified 34th for his first Chicago Street Course race in the NASCAR Cup Series. He has driven at this track in the Xfinity Series twice before, finishing fifth in last year's rain-shortened event and 7th in yesterday's race, where he passed Sammy Smith for the lead on a restart and led eight laps […]

Joey Hand Gets First Competitive NASCAR Ride, but Faster on Road Courses than Street Courses

Although Joey Hand is making his NASCAR Cup Series debut on the Chicago Street Course, his twenty years as a sports car veteran give him more experience than the vast majority of NASCAR regulars. However, his 2011 win at Long Beach was the only one of his 18 IMSA wins that came on a street […]

Harrison Burton Seeks to Prove Himself After Losing Wood Brothers Ride

Last week was not a good one for Harrison Burton. In last Sunday's Nashville race, Carson Hocevar intentionally spun him out under caution. On Wednesday, it was revealed that Josh Berry will replace him in the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford after the closure of Stewart-Haas Racing. Although Burton has been extremely mediocre in the […]

Fantasy Players Should Not Overlook Christopher Bell For Chicago

For this week's Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course, Christopher Bell qualified seventh.

In Bell's only Cup start at Chicago, he placed 18th after […]

Edwin Diaz Tallies Eighth Save Of The Season On Saturday
