Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho ended a seven-game goal drought with his seventh career hat trick, finishing it off in overtime for a 5-4 win against the Flyers Saturday.

Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand was busy in the assists department on Saturday against Minnesota, completing a 5-2 victory with three helpers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevon Looney is not going to grab any headlines any time soon.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Trey Murphy has started games for the Pelicans all season long.

DraftKings NCAA Tournament CBB DFS Lineup Picks For 3/19/23 - Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

We already shed 42 teams, so we are at less than half of what we started with. We still have eight exciting games around today since FDU pulled arguably the greatest upset in college basketball history, or at least in recent history (sorry UMBC).

2023 NFL QB Mock Draft: Where will the Rookie QBs Land?

We know that the Carolina Panthers will select a quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft and that the Chicago Bears are the better for it. The question is always who is going where?

Fundamentals will be quantified using my Fielding- and Ballpark-Independent Outcomes (FaBIO) pitcher […]

Patrick Sandoval - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

Patrick Sandoval carried some modest hype heading into the 2022 season. He wasn’t flying off the fantasy draft boards, but his 2.91 ERA across 27 starts and 148.2 innings pitched last year was not a shocker to many. With that level of output, and considering Patrick is just 26 years old, you’d expect his stock […]

Todd Gilliland Starts 23rd

Todd Gilliland has not shown the most promise on superspeedways in the NextGen car, as his average finish is where he will start this race (23rd). His best finish last year was seventh at the fall race in Talladega last season. Over the other six races, including Daytona this season, he has finished 27th three […]

Ryan Preece Starts 24th At The AmBetter Health 400

Ryan Preece is looking to build momentum for his new team in 2023. One way to do that will be to improve his finishes at this track type. Due to a small sample size, he should get a pass, as his first attempt was at Daytona this year and he did not finish the race […]

AJ Allmendinger Eyes Another Strong Finish

Ricky Stenhouse Eyes Back-To-Back Superspeedway Wins

Ricky Stenhouse will look to go back-to-back on superspeedway tracks to kick off the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series. After his win at Daytona, Stenhouse will see if he can make it 2-for-2 at this track type to start the season. He will have a ways to go to make it up front, as he will […]

Tyler Reddick May Be Overlooked

Tyler Reddick will likely draw little ownership, but that lowered ownership is warranted. Over the past seven races at superspeedways in the NextGen car, Reddick has an average finish of 28.6 and only one finish better than 28th, when he took second place at Daytona's fall race last year. A lot of dominoes will need […]

Erik Jones Is A Value Play At Atlanta

Erik Jones should be a strong play in the AmBetter Health 400 while starting from the 28th position. With an average finish of 17th over the last 15 races, he could be a strong play, even in your cash-game lineups. The average finish of 17 does not tell the true story, as he has performed […]

Denny Hamlin Seeks Better Results

The good news is that Denny Hamlin has two wins over the last 15 races on superspeedway tracks over the last two years. The bad news is that the wins came back in 2020. In the new NextGen car, Hamlin has found little success over the last seven races. He only has one finish in […]
