Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Saturday was a sad day. Facing the Mavs, Mason Plumlee couldn't crack the 15-FP barrier. That is no bueno, but you know what? We don't care about that, because it'd been quite a streak of games for him beating that threshold--in fact, […]

Trendon Watford (SF, POR): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: The type of fantasy player we love, this Trendon Watford. Pre-ASB Watford: 33 games, 13 MPG, 4-3-1 line; Post-ASB Watford: 10 games, 31 MPG, 14-6-2 with a block. This thing, we dig. Trendon Watford has even gone to start the last four […]

Connor McDavid Reaches 90-Point Mark

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over New Jersey, becoming the first player in the league to hit 90 points this season. He scored an empty-netter to seal the deal and grabbed both of his assists on goals by Evander Kane, one of which came on […]

Deshaun Watson Traded to Cleveland Browns: Fantasy Football Fallout

As if NFL fans everywhere didn't have enough highs and lows during the first week of free agency, out of nowhere Deshaun Watson waived his no-trade clause late on Friday afternoon and was sent to the Cleveland Browns for three first-round picks, a 2023 third-round pick, and a 2024 fourth-rounder. When I first saw Adam […]

Ondrej Kase Exits Saturday's Contest Early With A Head Injury

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Ondrej Kase was forced to end his game against Nashville early on Saturday after he received an elbow to the head. The incident occurred early in the second period and Kase ended up logging only 6:22 of ice time. The Czech winger had entered the matchup with a three-game goal […]

Auston Matthews Returns With A Multi-Point Game, 10 Shots

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews was back from a two-game suspension on Saturday, contributing with a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Nashville. He logged 23:04 of action and produced a game-high 10 shots on goal with one hit and one block. Maple Leafs games without Matthews scoring have become very […]

David Perron Goes For Four Points In Saturday's Loss

St. Louis Blues winger David Perron looked like a man on a mission in Saturday's matchup against Columbus, but even his four-point effort wasn't enough to take the team to victory. The 33-year-old notched his seventh career hat trick and recorded an assist in a 5-4 loss. Two of Perron's goals came with the man […]

Clayton Keller Should Be Fine For Sunday

Arizona Coyotes winger Clayton Keller made an early exit on Saturday against the Penguins with an undisclosed injury, but he's expected to play in Sunday's matchup versus San Jose. Arizona's star man appeared to get hurt in the third period when he was involved in a collision with Pittsburgh's defenseman Mike Matheson. Keller scored Arizona's […]

Brock Nelson Takes Down Stars With A Hat Trick

New York Islanders center Brock Nelson exploded for a hat trick in the third period against Dallas on Saturday, taking his team to a 4-2 win. He started things off by making it 2-1 with a power-play goal 4:17 into the period and quickly added another one to give the team some breathing space before […]

Martin Truex Jr. Starts Outside Top 20 At Atlanta

Martin Truex Jr. is in a rare position on Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He begins down at 26th but had the ninth fastest lap in practice on Saturday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is deceptive on this type of track. This lower HP next-gen configuration was good for awhile for Truex Jr. He had […]

Bubba Wallace In A Unique Position At Atlanta

Bubba Wallace has one of the quickest cars on the Atlanta course. Now, his ninth-place lap average of 30.785 seconds was more than respectable. The No. 23 Toyota turned in the 23rd-best lap in practice but again his lap intervals did not drop dramatically. That is consistent with how Wallace has driven with the lower […]

Kyle Larson Not Feeling So Super At Atlanta?

Kyle Larson starts just 21st on Sunday from Atlanta. While he could move up the field, can the No. 5 car stay there? The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver will need to likely draft Chase Elliott and the faster Chevy's to have a chance. Larson did have the 15th-best lap average. Also, his shorter lap intervals […]

Austin Dillon May Find Atlanta To Be Tougher Now

Austin Dillon begins Sunday 17th from the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Dillon and his No. 3 Chevy has had an uneven history in his last four races on the track (just one top ten). With the changes, that may be even more the case. The Richard Childress Racing driver was 35th among drivers when it came […]

Can Austin Cindric Bounce Back At Atlanta?

Austin Cindric begins Sunday from the 16th position at Atlanta. Now, the Daytona 500 winner was excellent late in runs there and on restarts. That could be of great benefit for this race. The big red flag is that Cindric has progressively had worse results since his breakthrough moment. The Team Penske driver was able […]

Denny Hamlin Has Chance To Help Himself At Atlanta

The first month of the 2022 season has come and gone. Denny Hamlin is outside of the top-20 overall. On the bright side, he starts 15th on Sunday and showed intermediate consistency when it came to speed. His times did not drop off until his runs reached into the 20 to 25 lap range. Hamlin […]

Chris Buescher's Mixed Results Cloud Atlanta Picture

Chris Buescher may be one of the more quirky drivers to figure out when it comes to Atlanta. He begins 14th on Sunday and the RFK Racing driver's Ford was slow late. His overall of 31.48 seconds just does not bode very well. His best lap was 0.45 seconds slower than the top drivers. Worse, […]

Daniel Suarez Slows Late In Practice At Atlanta

Daniel Suarez had few quick laps but as the runs went on, the times slowed for the TrackHouse Racing driver. Overall, Suarez exceeded 31 seconds as his lap times dropped late. Can he get some of that speed back on Sunday? He does start 13th but maintaining that position could be a challenge. The No. […]

Who Is the #1 Pick in 2022 Fantasy Football?

The 2021 fantasy football season is over, but that doesn't mean we are done analyzing the game. The 2022 draft season will be here before we know it. One of the biggest questions that fantasy managers need to have answered is more confusing than in recent years. Who should be the number one overall pick […]

William Byron Could Be Afterthought At Atlanta

Practice revealed some things about William Byron and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing team. Byron was not very fast but will start 12th on Sunday at Atlanta. That is because of Friday's inclement weather which tossed actual qualifying out the window. The No. 24 Chevy turned in the 27th fastest lap in practice but those lap […]

Alex Bowman Not Expected To Contend At Atlanta

Even before the Atlanta repave and changes, Alex Bowman had not led a lap in three years at the track. He did have two top-ten finishes but never quite contended. The No. 48 Chevy was way off in the practice session. His best lap was more than a half second off from the top drivers […]

Aric Almirola Could Have Tough Time At Atlanta

Aric Almirola has three top-10 results this season. As a result, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver begins Sunday from the 10th position at Atlanta. Almirola was right in contention at Daytona, but for him, Atlanta seems like a different animal. His initial speed was just not there. Ticking off greater than 31-second laps was troubling for […]

Kurt Busch May Be Under The Radar At Atlanta

The 23XI Racing driver loves "qualifying" this week as Kurt Busch starts ninth on Sunday at Atlanta. He is one of those unicorns in the sense that the elder Busch has won at Atlanta on the old course but has a Toyota which now carries some better speed. He was 13th best when it came […]

Kevin Harvick A Bit Troublesome At Atlanta

Kevin Harvick does start eighth at Atlanta on Sunday, but when it came to the practice session, things did not go well. Harvick and his Stewart-Haas Ford were 30th. Even worse, his lap averages were 31st as his No. 4 tailed into the 31.2- to 31.3-second range as his run approached 25 laps. The old […]

Ross Chastain And His Speed Could Be An Asset At Atlanta

Ross Chastain was one of the few NASCAR drivers who did extensive testing on the Atlanta track in January. The knowledge gained from those runs expect to be a major help on Sunday. During Saturday's practice session, the Trackhouse Racing driver was about a half-second slower than those January test sessions but still 16th when […]

Chase Elliott A Wild Card Of Sorts At Atlanta

Chase Elliott will start Atlanta from the sixth position on Sunday. The 2022 season has not quite gone as planned for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver. The old configuration of Atlanta was not kind to the No. 9 car. However, hope springs eternal. He was in the top-ten at Daytona early this year with top-five […]

Hampus Lindholm Traded To Boston For Playoff Push

The Anaheim Ducks traded one of their top defenseman, Hampus Lindholm, and Kodie Curran, who is also a defenseman. In return, the Ducks received John Moore, Urho Vaakanainen and a collection of draft picks from the Boston Bruins. Lindholm should fit in well in Boston, as he has registered five goals and 17 helpers in […]
