DraftKings NBA DFS Data Insights (11/8/21): Top Values, Best Matchups, Minute Gainers

Happy Monday! I hope everybody had a wildly successful weekend playing fantasy football and basketball. We are now into the season's fourth week, and we have an abundant amount of data to train and run data models with. I have to say as well that even with limited data, the models have been performing quite […]

T.Y. Hilton Remains In Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (head) remains in the league's concussion protocol after missing last Thursday's win over the New York Jets. Hilton has extra time to get ready for the Week 10 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it remains to be seen if he'll gain clearance. The 31-year-old didn't make his season […]

Russell Wilson Officially Cleared To Play In Week 10

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) was officially cleared to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers by Dr. Steve Shin, who performed surgery on Wilson's finger. It remains to be seen if Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be able to return after testing positive for COVID-19 last week, but Wilson's fantasy […]

Antonio Brown Remains In Walking Boot

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) is still in a walking boot. It doesn't sound like Brown made much progress during the team's bye in Week 9. The 33-year-old suffered an ankle sprain in Week 6 and hasn't played since, and fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him […]

Sam Darnold To Undergo MRI On His Shoulder

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule told reporters that quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will have an MRI exam on Monday, and the focus remains on his health heading into Week 10. If he cannot play against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend, P.J. Walker would get the start under center. The 24-year-old also recovered from a […]

Darren Fells Granted His Release

Detroit Lions veteran tight end Darren Fells asked for and was granted his release on Monday, according to a source. Fells will go on waivers and could provide an interesting option for tight end-needy teams. The 35-year-old was targeted just five times in seven games for the 0-8 Lions, catching four passes for 43 yards. […]

Will Fuller Already Ruled Out For Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (finger), who remains on Injured Reserve, will not play in Week 10 on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Fuller has been out since breaking his finger in Week 4 and he's played in only two games this season after finishing out a suspension during the first two weeks […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Drawing Interest From Seahawks?

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly interested in adding wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after he is released by the Cleveland Browns. It is unlikely a team claims him off waivers, and Beckham is said to prefer signing with a team rather than being claimed. The Seahawks have been notorious for bringing in high-profile names with […]

DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks for 11/9/21 - Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

When I migrated over to Rotoballer last winter, I added another dimension to the site: college basketball. The response was positive, so we will up the college basketball content this season. I'll be providing you with some things that I've uncovered during my own research for these slates that you may not have come by […]

Rays Pick Up Mike Zunino's 2022 Option

The Tampa Bay Rays exercised catcher Mike Zunino's $7 million option for the 2022 season at Sunday's deadline. The move will make the backstop one of the team's highest-paid players next year in his fourth season with Tampa. The Rays declined Zunino's $4.5 million team option last year, but he re-signed with the team for […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (11/8/21)

Saturday was a mixed bag of results as we hit the Celtics spread at +4.5 thanks in part to a big comeback in the second half by Boston. And then the Lakers fell flat on their faces in the late game, scoring only 12 points in the first quarter and seeing their superstar Anthony Davis […]

Rams Defense Gives Up Some Points In Week 9

The Los Angeles Rams defense didn't have the lockdown performance they were hoping for on Sunday night, but the final score in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans didn't tell the full story. The Rams D was charged with seven points off of a pick-six that was thrown by quarterback Matthew Stafford. Other than that, […]

Matt Gay Has Another Perfect Game In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay may have been on the losing side in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans, but he came out with a strong fantasy performance. He made all four of his kicking attempts, including going 3-for-3 on his field-goal tries. This was just the second game all year where he saw […]

Trevor Lawrence Dealing With Low-Ankle Sprain

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) will be limited this week with a low-ankle sprain after his X-rays came back negative. The rookie left the game against the Buffalo Bills but ended up returning shortly after, finishing with 118 passing yards in an ugly win over the heavily favored Bills. Lawrence will continue to receive […]

Van Jefferson Gets Locked Up In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson is firmly entrenched as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, but he couldn't do much with it against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. Jefferson caught just three of his seven targets for 41 yards on the day. Jefferson is certainly intriguing in […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/8/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We're set for a typically robust eight-game slate Monday night, one that features plenty of big-name, high-salary options and three games with projected totals of greater than 220 points as of Monday morning. Oddsmakers are also projecting a mostly competitive night, with only one contest having a point spread larger than six points. That's good […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/8 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are a bunch of teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back, so while there have already been a few announcements for players resting, like Kemba Walker, make sure you are noting all the rotation changes before you throw away money. With just eight games, we have options, but with five of these […]

Tyler Higbee Shows Some Life In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was literally inches away from a big game in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. Higbee caught five of his 10 targets for 51 yards in the game, and he appeared to have caught a touchdown in the back of the end zone but was ruled out of […]

Robert Woods Plays Well In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods appears to be finally getting in sync with his quarterback after another strong performance in the team's Week 9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Woods led the team with 98 receiving yards, and he caught seven of his 10 targets on the night. His 10 targets were tied […]

Cooper Kupp Puts Up Another Strong Game In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp failed to find the end zone for just the third time this season, but he still had a pretty strong outing for his fantasy managers against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. Kupp caught 11 of his 13 targets for 95 yards on the night, which maintained his […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Struggles In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ankle) briefly left the team's Week 9 loss to the Tennessee Titans before later returning, but he wasn't very productive in the game. Henderson ultimately finished with 11 carries for 55 yards to go with three receptions for three yards on four targets. Henderson remains the lead […]

Matthew Stafford Struggles In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford struggled for really the first time all season in the Sunday night loss against the Tennessee Titans. Stafford completed 31 of 48 passes for 294 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, including one pick-six, in the team's 28-16 loss that wasn't as close as the final score would […]

Vikings Defense Gives Up 500 Yards To The Ravens

The Minnesota Vikings defense knew they would have their hands full Sunday with Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on the schedule. They were holding their own early, but by the end of the day, Jackson and the Raven offense were too much. Despite turning the ball over twice, the Ravens put up 500 yards […]

Cardinals Fear Chase Edmonds Suffered A High-Ankle Sprain

The Arizona Cardinals fear running back Chase Edmonds suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 31-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He rushed for three yards on one carry before exiting after injuring his ankle on the first play. The 25-year-old will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury. According […]

Greg Joseph Makes Only Field Goal Attempt In Loss To Ravens

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in the 34-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While it's a good thing for the Vikings offense that they were able to convert drives into touchdowns instead of field-goals, Joseph's fantasy managers had to be disappointed with the lack […]

Frankie Montas 2021 Year-in-Review

Frankie Montas was a trendy sleeper pick during the 2021 baseball offseason as fantasy managers thought he could rebound after a sub-par 2020 season. The 28-year-old struggled with a 5.80 ERA, 1.51 WHIP while surrendering 10 homers over 11 starts in 2020. Montas bounced back in a big way and ended the 2021 season on […]

Jeremy McNichols Racks Up 35 Total Yards In Week 9 Win

Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols rushed for 24 yards on seven carries and caught all three of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was out-carried by Adrian Peterson 10-to-7 and lost touches to D'Onta Foreman. In the fourth quarter, the 25-year-old received two goal-line carries […]
