Free NFL Betting Picks - Conference Championship Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds

Man, what a wild Divisional Round weekend. Cincinnati cleaned up the first half cover by leading outright over the Titans.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/28/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Nights where there are only two NBA games usually means the following day’s slate is going to be massive. With 11 games scheduled, MonkeyKnifeFight only has five games up so far, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas to attack this early. Unbelievably, even though only four teams played yesterday, two of those teams, the […]

Identifying Potential Pitcher Breakouts - Biggest Changes in Fastball Usage

Every year, we are looking at different ways to find fantasy baseball breakouts. This is particularly true on the pitching side of things. Pitchers tend to be more volatile in terms of their year-to-year performance than hitters, paving the way for under-the-radar talents to emerge as frontline starters. When that happens, you'll want them on […]

Batted Ball Data Analysis - How Consistent Are GB%, LD%, and FB% Year To Year

As with evaluations of any metric, these should be taken as […]

Pitch Count Analysis for Fantasy Baseball - Analyzing Last Year's Starting Pitchers

A few things that have been rising rapidly in the last 20 years of Major League Baseball: revenues, player salaries, and the use of data analytics. These three things working in conjunction have led most Major League teams to be very careful with their starting pitchers, especially their best ones. We have seen both total […]

NFL DFS Value Plays for Conference Championships (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Welcome to the Conference Championships, Rotoballers! In last week's intro, I complained that the Wild Card round was more of a quantity-driven and not a quality-driven weekend. However, the Divisional Round made up for it in every way possible. There were four games with […]

Alexandre Texier Expected To Miss Four Weeks

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier (hand) will miss four weeks after suffering a fractured finger against the Flames on Wednesday night. Texier has scored a career-high 11 goals to go along with nine assists through 36 games, for a total of 20 points in his third NHL season. Texier is not on the radar […]

Evander Kane Agrees To Deal With Oilers

Evander Kane and the Edmonton Oilers have reached an agreement on a one-year contract for the remainder of the 2021-22 NHL season, according to his agent Dan Milstein. The deal includes a full no-move clause and will pay the forward approximately $1 million, per TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. Kane's contract was terminated by the […]

Drake Batherson Will Miss Significant Time With Injury

Ottawa Senators forward Drake Batherson (ankle) is set to miss a minimum of two months as a result of the high ankle sprain that he sustained on a hit from Sabres goalie Aaron Dell on Tuesday night. Batherson collided with the goaltender as he was rounding the net and crashed into the end boards with […]

Elijah Mitchell Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was able to get in a limited session during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as the team is likely just managing his reps. He doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. Mitchell […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Limited During Thursday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. He is recovering from an ankle injury he suffered during last week's Divisional Round. The 49ers are hopeful he can play this weekend versus the Los Angeles Rams. However, Wilson doesn't offer much fantasy value with […]

Van Jefferson Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) was able to suit up for practice on Thursday. He was limited during this session, but is on track to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Last week, Jefferson had two receptions for 29 yards during the Divisional Round victory. It sounds like Jefferson is […]

Andrew Whitworth Fully Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) was upgraded to full during Thursday's practice. The four-time Pro Bowl tackle is expected to return after sitting out the Divisional Round. His replacement Joe Noteboom (chest) played well in his absence, but also suffered an injury last week. Having Whitworth back on the offensive line would […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out For Friday's Contest

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ayton continues to sit out due to a lingering right ankle sprain, but hopefully he can return soon. In the meantime, Bismack Biyombo will be asked to make the start and play heavy minutes without Ayton available. Fellow […]

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out Versus Grizzlies

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a left calf strain on Sunday and now will miss his third straight game because of it. His absence will mean Hassan Whiteside will get another start with Udoka Azubuike getting backup minutes. Whiteside has struggled […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has missed each of the last five games due to a concussion. Mitchell didn't travel with the team for Friday's contest, so the chances of him suiting up seem unlikely. Joe Ingles would shift back to the […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Doesn't Practice Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) did not participate during Thursday's practice. Despite that, head coach Stephen Silas expects Porter to be available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so possibly he feels better before game-time tomorrow. Jalen Green would do more of the […]

Patrick Beverley Unlikely To Play Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game, according to head coach Chris Finch. Fantasy managers should expect Beverley to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell should have increased roles against the Golden State Warriors on […]
