Three NFL Offenses Trending Up In 2024 Fantasy Football

When choosing players during fantasy football drafts, targeting players on elite offenses is always a great recipe for success.

Like every year, the catcher position is among the toughest to evaluate. If you didn't get Adley Rutschman, Will Smith, or William Contreras in drafts this year, chances are you have been frustrated with your starting catcher's production in fantasy. J.T.

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 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.

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.

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.

[…]

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.
