Erik Jones Looks Great At Texas Motor Speedway

While his wunderkind teammate Carson Hocevar is currently stealing most of the headlines for Legacy Motor Club, Erik Jones perseveres despite having a slower car than he did last year. Jones finished between 8th and 11th at every non-drafting superspeedway from Nashville to Darlington unexpectedly culminated in a 3rd-place finish at Kansas, easily the team's […]

Alex Bowman's Mediocre Speed Doesn't Bode Well for Texas

Alex Bowman's 2022 playoff campaign was derailed by a concussion he suffered in a crash at Texas, which caused him to miss the next five races. After a promising start to 2023, a back injury in a sprint car crash in Iowa again forced him to miss races. Bowman suffered a significant downturn in speed […]

Michael McDowell Unlikely to Duplicate Bristol Result

Although Michael McDowell did defy expectations and unexpectedly delivered the best short track run of his entire career in last weekend's Bristol Night Race, his 6th-place finish was still not enough for him to advance as he finished 16 points below the cutline. Considering he was the only driver who entered the playoffs with below-average […]

Kevin Harvick's Poor Bristol Run Raises Questions

Kevin Harvick was eliminated from the playoffs in last weekend's Bristol Night Race by four points after an uncharacteristically poor 29th-place finish. It would have been easy for Harvick to advance since the two bubble drivers who advanced to the next round, Martin Truex, Jr. and Bubba Wallace, scored mediocre 19th and 14th place finishes […]

Christopher Bell Will Be Fast But Could Falter Late

Christopher Bell did not get that fourth straight pole. However, the three Joe Gibbs Racing veterans have had blistering speed on intermediates with Truex leading the series with a speed percentile of 88.77% on those tracks followed by Denny Hamlin's 87.56%, Kyle Larson's 84.22%, and Bell's 80.07%. The Toyota dominance continued in qualifying with Bubba […]

Chris Buescher Quick, But Suffers With Intermediate Speed

Chris Buescher has been one of the hottest drivers in the Cup Series with three wins and five top tens in the last seven races. He leads Ford drivers in both wins and speed, having overtaken Kevin Harvick at Bristol to become the fastest Ford driver this year with a speed percentile of 63.76%, but […]

William Byron Should Be Fast But Only Contend

William Byron enters tomorrow's race at Texas in a tie for the points lead with Martin Truex, Jr. Byron leads the Cup Series this season in numerous categories including wins, top tens, laps led, fastest laps, average speed, and races with a pass for the lead. His prospects of advancing to the Round of 8 […]

Carson Hocevar Looks Impressive Again at Texas

Carson Hocevar has been one of the brighter stories of the year in the NASCAR Cup Series, as the Truck Series regular has been pulled to fill in driving the No. 42 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club and has far exceeded expectations. Noah Gragson had an average finish of 28.2 while driving this car for […]

Should I Start Gus Edwards in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

The fantasy football season is well on its way, and that means the injuries are surely piling up for your roster. Whether you have Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) or Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee), you might need a replacement at the running back position in Week 3. Baltimore Ravens […]

Zane Smith Slow In Practice and Qualifying at Texas

Zane Smith is back behind the wheel of the No. 38 Ford for Front Row Motorsports this weekend, making his seventh NASCAR Cup Series start of the season. Through his first six starts this year, Smith has an average finish of 26.5 with a best result of 10th at Charlotte back in May. This is […]

Should I Start Amari Cooper in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

The Browns have been an incredibly disappointing passing offense to start the year. Quarterback Deshaun Watson looks like a shell of his former self, which has resulted in a bottom-10 passing attack across the league with 177 yards per game.  The low production through the air has really hurt the Browns' pass-catchers, as Amari Cooper, […]

Todd Gilliland in Downgraded Equipment for Texas

Todd Gilliland has been a great lower-end fantasy option this season, but that likely won't be the case in this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. Instead of driving his normal No. 38 Ford for Front Row Motorsports, Gilliland is behind the wheel of the No. 51 Ford for Rick Ware Racing this weekend, as Zane […]

Dylan Cease Strikes Out 11 Batters

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease put together one of his best outings of the season versus the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. The right-hander went seven scoreless innings while striking out a season-high 11 batters in the win. Cease did end up with the no-decision, but the White Sox won the game. This […]

Gabriel Arias Exits Early On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians infielder Gabriel Arias (hand) was lifted early during Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 24-year-old was pulled out of the game after hitting hit by a pitch in the hand. The expectation is that Arias will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Jose Tena took over at shortstop, […]

John Means Looks Impressive On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means looked extremely sharp during Saturday's matchup against the Cleveland Guardians. The left-hander carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning of this game. However, Andres Gimenez ended his chances of his second-career no-hitter with a solo blast in the seventh inning. Despite that, Means was nearly untouchable during his third […]

AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel NASCAR Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Texas on Sunday for the first race of the Round of 12. Last weekend saw Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Michael McDowell's title hopes come to an end. What will happen in this round? For the first time since 2004, there's just one race at Texas […]

Tanner Scott Records 10th Save

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott was asked to hold a one-run lead versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. The left-hander had struggled in each of his last two outings heading into this game. Luckily, Scott was able to get back on track and throw a perfect ninth inning in the victory over the Brewers. […]

Luis Arraez Suffers Injury On Saturday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. It appears that Arraez slipped on the dugout steps after the light went out during Tanner Scott's entrance in the top of the ninth. Garrett Hampson took over at second base for the final frame. This is tough […]

Rams D/ST A Solid Start If Burrow Is Unable To Suit Up

The Los Angeles Rams defense has played much better than expected through the first two weeks, considering the unit's youth and lack of experience together. Joe Burrow (calf) could miss Monday night's game, and 26-year-old Jake Browning steps in as the Bengals' starter. If this is the case, the Rams' defense is a solid option and should be locked […]

Carlos Santana Hits 300th Career Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana hit a significant milestone during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. The veteran slugger blasted a three-run home run off left-hander A.J. Puk on Saturday. That home run marked his 300th career home run, which makes him the 159th player in history to achieve that goal. It's also worth […]

Brett Maher A Top Fantasy Option In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher should now be rostered in all leagues as he's ranked top-five at the position. The team faces the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, an excellent spot for the former Cowboys kicker. The Bengals have surrendered five field goal makes on six attempts through the season's first two games. The team's young […]

Tyler Higbee A Low-End TE1 For Week 3

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee will look to get back on track after two underwhelming weeks to start the season. Despite Cooper Kupp (hamstring) being out, Higbee has accounted for a mere 10% team target share and is the overall TE24 through the season's first two weeks. Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, and Kyren Williams have all out-targeted Higbee and seem to […]

Van Jefferson Not A Reliable Option In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson has been the disappointing fantasy option from the team's receiving trio. Despite leading all Rams' receivers in snaps through the first two games, Jefferson has caught just five of his nine targets on the season for 33 yards. It is clear that Matthew Stafford favors Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell over the […]
