John Collins Likely To Play In Game 1

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) will suit up on Sunday for the series opener versus Miami, barring any setbacks. The 24-year-old hasn't played in over a month. However, with Clint Capela (knee) out for the foreseeable future, Collins' return couldn't come at a better time. Nonetheless, he may not see his usual workload, […]

Garrett Cooper Injured Saturday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (elbow) left the game early on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies with a left elbow contusion. Cooper was injured when he collided with teammate Jon Berti during a rundown attempt. He initially stayed in the game, but was eventually removed from the contest. The severity of the injury is […]

Corbin Burnes Rebounds With Gem

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes threw seven scoreless innings against the Orioles on Wednesday. He didn't earn the win, but he allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out eight batters. This was an important result from the 27-year-old after he gave up three runs over five innings on Opening Day. Outside […]

Hyun Jin Ryu Heading For MRI Exam

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu (forearm) is going for an MRI exam on Sunday morning after experiencing left forearm soreness on Saturday, according to the team. Ryu felt the soreness during his outing on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics, when he allowed five runs and six hits while walking none in 3 […]

Kyle Tucker Unlucky Through Eight Games

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker went 1-for-4 against the Mariners on Saturday night as he snapped a four-game hitless skid. Although he owns a mere .129/.182/.323 slash line to this point, advanced metrics indicate that Tucker has gotten unlucky. The 25-year-old's xBA and xSLG, which assess Statcast's expected results rather than actual results, are .327 […]

Gerrit Cole Allows Three More Runs Wednesday

New York Yankees starter Gerrit Cole had another tough outing as he allowed three earned runs to the Blue Jays this past Wednesday. Cole himself earned the no-decision, but New York still fell to Toronto by a score of 6-4. On a positive note, he lasted 5.2 innings, allowing just one walk while striking out […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/17/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have four more first-round playoff games in the Association on an Easter Sunday - what more can we ask for? The Bulls-Bucks game rates out as the most appealing game to target for daily fantasy purposes, while the remaining three games all project about even with each other. This means that the slate is […]

Juan Soto Delivers Double And Homer

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-3 with a double, home run, and two walks against the Pirates on Saturday. His solo shot was hit on a rope, snuck through a stairwell and right field, and found its way into the Allegheny River. The 23-year-old is now 4-for-6 with four walks and zero strikeouts over […]

Trea Turner Thriving At The Plate

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner has found great success at the plate this season. He has logged a base hit in all eight of the Dodgers' games this season, going 12-for-34 with seven RBI during that span. The 28-year-old has been especially dominant during the team's current series against the Reds. Against Cincinnati, Turner […]

Martin Truex Jr. Not Recommended For Bristol

Martin Truex Jr. has been slow all weekend long with his No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing car. This is not just a one-time occurrence. This has been across the board spanning from initial practice sessions right up to Saturday's 15-lap qualifying run. He started in the back of that run and ended there. Truex Jr. […]

Denny Hamlin And The Slow Toyota At Bristol

What happened between practice and qualifying for Denny Hamlin? This is where it gets odd for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver because half the team was pretty quick (Kyle Busch and Christopher Bell) and half was much slower (him and Martin Truex Jr.). The second practice session was solid for the No. 11 car and […]

Ross Chastain Spun Out To Back Of The Pack Saturday

Both Ross Chastain and even Daniel Suarez have had successful Trackhouse Racing cars at Bristol. Suarez had the result last year with a second-place finish but it seems that Chastain has the better performing car this season. Chastain did win at Austin and had a nice run of top-five finishes (four in all). The No. […]

Ryan Blaney Slow In Qualifying Heat Saturday

Ryan Blaney had quite a few issues with his Team Penske car on Saturday. He could not generate speed and then he lost the grip. Ultimately, he spun out during his run as well. The result of all that mess is qualifying 24th for Sunday's Food City Dirt Race. Is that a bad thing? Blaney […]

William Byron Starts From Middle At Bristol

William Byron begins his Bristol dirt race from the 19th spot on Sunday night. For what it is worth, Byron managed a sixth-place result last year in spite of not leading a single lap. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car did not even truly contended but the No. 24 Chevy survived. This lends some credence to […]

Can Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Do It Again At Bristol?

The question on many minds is whether Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can worm his way up to the front on Sunday at Bristol. Last year, Stenhouse Jr. came from just inside the top-15 to nearly win the race over Joey Logano. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver has shown speed and did last year in Tennessee especially. […]

Food City Dirt Race: NASCAR DFS Value Picks (Premium Content)

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Outside of Daytona and Talladega, this week’s Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway might be the hardest event to predict in the Cup Series for DFS players. The Cup Series raced at the Bristol Dirt track only once during last season […]

Erik Jones Tries To Build On Last Year's Bristol Result

Erik Jones survived last year's war of attrition to finish ninth at Bristol last season. This year, he starts 14th on Easter Sunday. There are differences with the Sunday night race having a different look weather wise, etc. Cool temperatures and dry weather will make the track a bit more dusty if the water trucks […]

Kurt Busch Cannot Be Counted Out Sunday At Bristol

Kurt Busch starts from the inside of Row 7 on Sunday but cannot be counted out of the Food City Dirt Race. The 23XI Racing car is faster than what Busch had last year. He finished 16th in what can be best described as a sub-standard drive. It may come down to how many longer […]

Austin Dillon Sandwiched By Busch's On Sunday

Austin Dillon will begin Sunday's Food City Dirt Race at Bristol from the outside of Row 6. That is the good news. The bad news is Dillon's Chevy is sandwiched by two Toyota's (the Busch Brothers). Now, 11 of the top-20 cars qualifying were Chevy's. This seems like a surprise but not really. Their speed […]

Kyle Busch Begins Just Outside Of Top Ten Sunday

Some early math had Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch starting from Row 6 on Sunday and then it was revealed that was not the case. Both are close enough together (11th and 13th) to keep things fun for Sunday's Bristol race. Dirt track sibling rivalries on an Easter holiday seem to be a perfect recipe […]

Tight End Values: PPR vs Standard Leagues

It feels impossible but the NFL offseason can be considered over in terms of high-impact moves only with the first-year draft ahead. The free agency is long gone, most players have extended their deals or found new homes, and teams are ready to start moving the rock come summer training camps. For us fantasy GMs, […]

Joey Logano Round Out Top Ten Starting At Bristol

Joey Logano has not been mentioned too much this weekend and he seamlessly qualified tenth to start the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday. This is last year's winner of the race after all. That is important in the sense he knows what it takes to win here. The Next-Gen car was not too bad […]

Chase Elliott Lurks From The Ninth Position At Bristol

Chase Elliott could not wait to get on the track Saturday at Bristol. He starts ninth on Sunday after a strong qualifier. There is significance in the sense that his Hendrick car lost less than four tenths of a second from his best lap to his 30-lap interval. Tyler Reddick dropped almost 3/4 of a […]

Alex Bowman Starts In The Top Ten At Bristol

This will be interesting but Alex Bowman begins the Food City Dirt Race eighth on Sunday night. Bowman and Bristol are an intriguing mix. The Hendrick Motorsports cars have been fast and the No. 48 showed in his heat that he could pass some cars too. There does seem to be this pattern where the […]

Dynasty Trade Targets Prior To 2022 NFL Draft

With free agency mainly wrapped up and the NFL Draft upon us, this is the ultimate time of excitement for fantasy football dynasty leagues! Rookie drafts are taking place, the market is being completely altered with so much player movement; what else could you ask for? There are many differences between dynasty leagues and redraft […]

Ty Dillon Wins Qualifying Heat At Bristol

This was a big moment for Ty Dillon and his Chevy. The Petty GMS Motorsports team has not had the greatest start this 2022 season. However, on Saturday, Dillon and his No. 42 car won his qualifying heat and cemented a top-ten position to start at Bristol. His 15-lap interval was among the top-five cars […]

Justin Haley A Wildcard Of Sorts At Bristol

Justin Haley raced well during his heat on Saturday which adds some intrigue. His Chevy was fast and good around the corners. There was not much tight on the Kaulig Racing car and that was encouraging. The No. 31 won his heat but his place differential was not as good as the others. Therefore, he […]

Kyle Larson Set Up For Success At Bristol

The same thing was said last year about Kyle Larson. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver was primed for a great run on the dirt. That is when disaster err Christopher Bell struck. On the other hand, Larson begins the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday from the fifth position. Larson is one of those veteran […]
