Tom Brady - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a QB1 against the Dolphins in Week 5. Brady has been terrific this season but has certainly slowed down in the past couple of weeks. Last week, the QB managed 269 yards in the anticipated matchup against his former team New England. Nevertheless, Brady has 10 touchdowns to […]

Brandon Crawford Hits Insurance Homer Friday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford continued his power surge in Friday's 4-0 NLDS Game 1 win over the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run.

Buster Posey Acts As Spark Plug In NLDS Game 1

Ottawa Senators forward Colin White will be sidelined for the next 4-6 months after suffering a dislocated shoulder in his team's preseason contest on Monday.

Pavel Francouz To Miss 3-4 Weeks With Injury

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz will be out for 3-4 weeks after sustaining a lower-body injury in a preseason game versus the Vegas Golden Knights earlier in the week. This news comes as a tough blow for Francouz, who missed the entire 2020-2021 campaign due to injury. The 31-year-old is expected to back up newly […]

Erik Jones Worth a Glance at Charlotte ROVAL

Erik Jones is a dicey choice. Let's be honest. However, last year's run in the Joe Gibbs Racing car opened some eyes and he showed a keen ability to negotiate traffic. That resulted in a third-place finish. Even in a lesser Richard Petty Motorsports car, Jones does start 17th on Sunday and has the possibility […]

Alex Ovechkin Departs Preseason Game With Injury

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin was forced to leave his team's preseason contest versus the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday with a lower-body injury. Ovechkin departed just 9:40 into the tilt after an awkward hit on Flyers forward Travis Konecny. The 36-year-old will reportedly get re-evaluated on Saturday and should be considered day-to-day for now. Ovechkin […]

Chris Buescher Risky Choice at Charlotte ROVAL

Chris Buescher starts 16th on Sunday at the Charlotte ROVAL. The Roush Fenway Racing driver has finished in the top 20 in all three races on this track. Granted those are 17th, 18th, and 20th place results but the bottom line is the bottom line. That consistency for the No. 17 car is helpful and […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (10/9/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Just two games tonight as the American League will take the day off. Atlanta will look to even the series with Milwaukee after the Brew Crew narrowly escaped with a 2-1 win in Game 1, while the Giants hold a 1-0 series lead over the Dodgers after Logan Webb's incredible playoff debut. It's Fried-Woodruff and […]

Matt DiBenedetto Carries DFS Upside at Charlotte

Matt DiBenedetto has been right around the top ten in all three appearances at Charlotte. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is motivated to find a spot to race on the NASCAR circuit in 2022. Consider in 2019 and 2020, DiBenedetto finished 13th and 11th on the ROVAL. Expect the No. 21 to have some good […]

Blake Coleman Suspended One Game

Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman has been banned for one preseason and one regular season contest following a boarding penalty in his team's preseason game on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old, who is coming off two consecutive Stanley Cup Championships with the Lightning, inked a six-year, $29.4 million ($4.9 mil AAV) with Calgary over the summer. […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Has Potential at Charlotte on Sunday

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can get into the top 20 and maybe even top 10 to 15 on Sunday at Charlotte. He enjoyed a +21 place differential last year and +4 the year before that. The JTG-Daugherty Racing driver does start 18th on Sunday which could cut into that positive number a bit. However, the No. […]

Saquon Barkley - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Barkley is still working his way back from a season-ending knee injury from the 2020 campaign. While he hasn't missed a game, he isn't the same player who was once considered a top-three option in fantasy drafts. Fortunately, he appears to be trending in the right direction and continues to ramp up his activities. The […]

Aleksander Barkov Inks Eight-Year Contract Extension

The Florida Panthers signed franchise center Aleksander Barkov to an eight-year, $80 million ($10 million average annual value) contract extension on Friday. The 26-year-old, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2021-2022 season, will now remain a Panther through the 2029-2030 campaign. Barkov has established himself as one […]

Tyler Reddick Worth a Look at Charlotte on Sunday

Tyler Reddick is a young and at times aggressive driver. However, on the Charlotte ROVAL, he knew when to pick his spots and finished 12th in his only appearance. There is a lot to risk for Sunday, however. For one, he starts 29th. The Richard Childress Racing driver will have to pass a ton of […]

Bubba Wallace One to Stay Away From at Charlotte

Bubba Wallace won the rain-shortened race at Talladega last week with some brilliant maneuvering and holding off the field just long enough as they say. It was his first career NASCAR top-level victory. The Charlotte ROVAL is a different reality however as the 23XI Racing driver has finished 21st or worse in all three appearances. […]

Austin Dillon Not Expected Much on Sunday at Charlotte

Austin Dillon has had some awful luck at the Charlotte ROVAL but again starts outside the top ten on Sunday (14th this time). The Richard Childress Racing driver may have some speed and downforce early but the later laps will likely see him fade. That has been a sort of pattern lately for Dillon. At […]

Carey Price Enters Player Assistance Program

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be out indefinitely after voluntarily entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program on Thursday. The 34-year-old was already set to miss the start of the season while still recovering from off-season knee surgery. Price posted a 12-7-5 record to go along with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .901 save […]

Kurt Busch an Intriguing Option at Charlotte

Kurt Busch tends to have success at tracks like Charlotte. He has two top-ten results at the ROVAL and an average finish of 9.67. While the Chip Ganassi Racing driver has only led seven laps at the three races, he does have a fifth and fourth-place result. The elder Busch tends to run well on […]

A.J. Allmendinger Will Contend at Charlotte on Sunday

A.J. Allmendinger has not met a road course he did not like and that even goes for ROVALS as well. He finished seventh at his only Charlotte appearance in 2018 mostly because Allmendinger was able to maintain track position. Driving skills on road courses cannot be underestimated. It is why the driver will again be […]

Alex Bowman Faces Near Impossible Task at Charlotte

Alex Bowman stands 12th in the playoff chase and starts 12th on Sunday at Charlotte. He is 52 points out of a playoff spot which means Bowman would likely have to win and need a ton of miraculous help on Sunday. Bowman does have three top-ten results and an average finish of 4.67 on the […]

William Byron in Trouble at Charlotte ROVAL

William Byron stands 11th in the playoff chase and needs to garner as many points as possible at Charlotte. It can be done as the Hendricks Motorsports Racing cars have been strong on this ROVAL. Byron has had consecutive sixth-place results the last two years. He has led a combined 50 of the 218 laps […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (10/9/21 Early)

Our big slate on Saturday has 12 games that DraftKings picked out for us. We've got some big ones on here. We start off with the biggest, the Red River Shootout at the Texas State Fair. It's a bucket list thing for me. One of these years, I will get to that game. South Carolina […]

Kyle Larson's Point Cushion Helpful for Charlotte Race

Kyle Larson is 22 points above the cut line currently and that appears to keep him safe into the Round Of 8. While nothing is certain, that is the likelihood. With the Hendrick Motorsports Racing car, the thought process is that Larson should be able to contend with the likes of Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, […]

Kyle Busch on the Bubble Heading to Charlotte

There is a ton of reason to be concerned with Kyle Busch on Sunday. Charlotte, the ROVAL version, has been a house of horrors for the No. 18 car. How bad has it been? A variety of problems, poor pit scheduling, and bad downforce issues have resulted in a 30th place or worse standing each […]

Chase Elliott is the Favorite at Charlotte on Sunday

Chase Elliott and road courses are a match made in heaven. At the Charlotte ROVAL, the No. 9 car has won twice in three appearances. He led 27 laps last year on the way to victory and has led 18.96% of the laps overall. His driver rating of nearly 125 is the best of all […]

Odell Beckham Jr. - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Since his return to the lineup, Beckham has been consistently involved in the passing game (16 targets) as the Browns lack options. The downside is that the production has yet to take hold as Baker Mayfield has struggled with consistency. In his two games back, he already ranks inside the top 10 in deep targets (7), but […]
