Nick Schmaltz Records Three Assists In Win Over New Jersey

Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Schmaltz had a season-high three assists as the team cruised to a 4-1 victory over New Jersey on Saturday. He collected his first helper when J.J. Moser opened the scoring 9:37 into the first period, added a power-play assist on Dylan Guenther's first-period goal, and completed the three-point outing with an […]

Juan Soto is the Second Best Player in 2024 Fantasy Baseball

I have played fantasy baseball for over 15 years. Never before have I seen a player have a stranglehold on the 1.01 pick like Ronald Acuna Jr. Well, outside of that one day when he had a knee injury scare.  While he is undoubtedly the first pick, there are several names you will hear in […]

Artemi Panarin Racks Up Five Points In Saturday's Win

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin skated circles around the Penguins on Saturday, completing a 7-4 victory with five points. He scored twice and had three assists, bagging two of the points with the man advantage. This was Panarin's fourth five-point effort with the Rangers, and only Rod Gilbert (6) has had more such […]

Giancarlo Stanton Crushes First Home Run Of Spring

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton clobbered his first home run of the spring on Saturday in a 10-9 Grapefruit League win over the Blue Jays. The 34-year-old demolished a 1-0 fastball from Jays pitcher Paolo Espino and finished the day 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored. It took Stanton […]

Brady Tkachuk Sinks Islanders With Third Hat Trick

Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk was the main man in Saturday's matchup against the Islanders, scoring his third career hat trick in a 4-3 overtime win. He completed the three-goal game with a power-play marker with only 24 seconds left in overtime. The Senators captain had two power-play goals in total in the contest. Ottawa's […]

Hunter Harvey - Fantasy Baseball Closer Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 285 CURRENT ADP: ~298 overall ANALYSIS: The Nationals will likely open 2024 with Kyle Finnegan as their closer, but Harvey remains the talent to side with. Remember Harvey’s 10-game window from June 21 to July 14: 9 ⅔ IP, 6 SV, 1 ER, 10:1 K:BB. But then he missed a […]

Free NBA Betting Picks and Best Bets (3/17/24)

Happy Selection Sunday! Though most people will probably be watching college basketball today, we still have six games on the NBA schedule. I'll be keeping an eye on both, and it should be a fun Sunday of hoops! After saying I was going to continue to trust my process, I went 3-0 on Friday night. […]

Robert Stephenson - Fantasy Baseball Closer Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 241 CURRENT ADP: ~256 overall ANALYSIS: The Rays traded for Stephenson to kick off June and promptly unlocked his next form. The 31-year-old started to show more life in June before becoming untouchable in July. His final 28 games saw 26 IP supply a 43:3 K:BB with four earned […]

Jason Adam - Fantasy Baseball Closer Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 271 CURRENT ADP: ~306 overall ANALYSIS:  Pete Fairbanks will open the year as Tampa's primary closer, but Adam should remain fantasy-relevant in leagues that count holds as a high-leverage, late-inning reliever Adam has proven to be a valuable commodity for the Tampa Bay Rays. The 32-year-old righty had four […]

Who is the Phillies Closer? Fantasy Baseball Saves Outlook for 2024

The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a season in which they lost in the National League Championship Series to the Arizona Diamondbacks. They finished the regular season with a record of 90-72 but were able to make a deep playoff run by defeating the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves in the NL Wild Card and […]

Dylan Cease Traded to San Diego Padres: Fantasy Baseball Outlook

The San Diego Padres recently acquired starting pitcher Dylan Cease from the Chicago White Sox. The Padres gave up Drew Thorpe, Jairo Iriarte, Samuel Zavala, and Steven Wilson to get Cease as they started preparing for life without Blake Snell. Cease, a sixth-round draft pick from the 2014 MLB Draft, made his MLB debut in 2019 […]

Ranking the Top 10 Biggest Fantasy Football Busts of All Time

One of the most satisfying aspects of playing fantasy football is when you correctly pick a breakout player. It will have you thumping your chest in triumph as you look down upon your league mates. As fun as that sounds, it’s quite a different feeling when you select a player that busts. Sadly, busts are […]

Chris Buescher Has Huge DFS Upside at Bristol

Starting further back in the field is something that Chris Buescher is accustomed to at Bristol Motor Speedway. In the last two races at this track, he has rolled off from the starting grid in 20th-place, but Buescher has been very strong at Bristol in the NextGen car when it came to actually racing. In […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/17/24)

St. Patrick's Day is the same as Selection Sunday. It almost seems a crime that Notre Dame won't be in the field of 68 this year. Don't worry... there were plenty of bid thefts yesterday. New Mexico was probably in regardless, but North Carolina State and Oregon were NIT-bound until they won the conference tournament. […]

Bristol DraftKings NASCAR Lineup Picks and Projections (Premium Content)

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We're on to race number five of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, as the Food City 500 is set to take place on Sunday afternoon at Bristol Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Cup Series always visits Bristol two times per year. For the […]

Ross Chastain a Core DFS Pick at Bristol

Ross Chastain qualified dead last for this weekend's Food City 500, and while starting deep in the field at a half-mile race track is typically seen as a major disadvantage, this is actually a huge opportunity in DFS contests for the Trackhouse Racing driver. Due to his place differential potential and his modest $8,500 salary […]

Kyle Busch Looking to Return to Old Ways at Bristol

Kyle Busch used to be the master at Bristol Motor Speedway. He won four of the five races here between 2009 and 2011 and is an eight-time winner at the race track. It has been a few years since Rowdy has been in contention to win in Thunder Valley, though. Over the last three Bristol […]

Erik Jones Qualifies 15th for Bristol, Has Dark Horse DFS Potential

Erik Jones could surprise some people at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. The Legacy Motor Club driver was a legitimate top-10 contender here last fall but finished in 24th-place after a loose wheel ruined his race. This season, Jones should have a little more speed in the race car, as Legacy Motor Club is now […]

Ryan Preece Has Strong History at Bristol

Keep an eye on Stewart-Haas Racing driver, Ryan Preece, this weekend. He ran the fall race here at Bristol for SHR last season in their No. 41 Ford and qualified 17th before finishing ninth in Stage 2 and coming home 12th when the checkered flag flew on the race. For this weekend's Food City 500, […]

Todd Gilliland a Sleeper Fantasy Pick at Bristol

Todd Gilliland isn't a name you immediately think of when it comes to Bristol Motor Speedway, but he's actually been quite solid in Thunder Valley over the course of his young career. In two starts at this race track, Gilliland has posted finishes of 18th- and 16th-place despite starting back in the 30s for both […]

John Hunter Nemechek's NextGen Inexperience Makes Him a Longshot

Despite earning a top-10 finish at Daytona, John Hunter Nemechek's return to the Cup Series has been a surprisingly disappointing one, as he has zero laps led and no other top-20 race finishes despite retaining Ben Beshore as crew chief, who he dominated the Xfinity Series with last year. Nemechek's speed percentile of 26.77 lags […]

Corey LaJoie Has Speed at Bristol If He Can Avoid Errors

Corey LaJoie has had a very topsy-turvy 2024 to date. With increased Chevrolet investment into the Spire operation, LaJoie has never had more speed; he has ranked in the top half of speed in all three races he finished. However, he was mistake-prone the last two race weekends as he crashed at Las Vegas and […]

Kaz Grala's Short Track Debut Will Probably Disappoint

Kaz Grala makes his Cup Series short track debut at Bristol this afternoon, which makes speculating about his performance something of a question mark. Grala got much hype early in his career because he had two top-10s in his first three starts, but those came on a road course and a superspeedway race. Rick Ware […]

Austin Dillon Worse on Pavement Than on Dirt at Bristol

Austin Dillon starts 31st for this weekend's Bristol race, which is the worst Bristol qualifying run in his NASCAR Cup Series career and his worst starting position on any short track since 2017. While Dillon was a revelation in last year's spring event where he qualified second, finished third, and posted the fastest average race […]

Harrison Burton's Short Track Struggles Will Likely Continue at Bristol

Harrison Burton qualified 13th for this weekend's Food City 500, giving him his best starting position on a short track in his Cup career. But while he seems to have slightly improved since 2023 (if only because the Penske cars seem to be a little faster), his short track performance has not been up to […]

Chase Briscoe an Underrated Power Play at Bristol

After an inexplicably subpar 2023, Chase Briscoe seems to have regained much of his speed in 2024 as his sixth-place qualifying run for this weekend's Bristol race gives him his fourth straight top-10 start, the longest such streak of his career. While Briscoe's speed percentile of 39.71 last year was not good, he was significantly […]

PGA DFS Picks - Round 4 Showdown For 2024 PLAYERS Championship

We should have a three-horse race for the winner of the PLAYERS Championship, with Xander Schauffele sitting in first at -17, Wyndham Clark in second at -16, and Brian Harman a shot back at -15. Fourth place has two golfers tied at -13 which is four shots off Xander, who Harman or Clark will be […]

Jack Suwinski Homers, Continues To Rake This Spring

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 spring win over the Atlanta Braves. Suwinski took Charlie Morton deep in the first inning to put the Pirates on the scoreboard. It was his fourth home run of the spring. The 25-year-old is slashing .324/.361/.765 with four home runs, […]
