Ryan Donato Extends Point Streak To Four Games

Chicago Blackhawks center Ryan Donato tallied three points during their 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday evening. In the second period, Donato tallied the primary helper on Teuvo Teravainen. In the third, Donato would find the back of the net twice, one of them coming on the power-play. This outing extended his current […]

Calvin Pickard Sharp In Victory

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard led the way on Saturday evening as he stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced en route to defeating the Carolina Hurricanes. Pickard's lone blemish came in the third period when Sebastian Aho found the back of the net on the power-play. Even though the Hurricanes had the advantage […]

Pierre-Olivier Joseph Sustains Upper-Body Injury

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph (upper body) exited Saturday's contest early with an injury. Joseph logged just over three minutes of ice time before exiting. He tallied one hit and did not get on the scoresheet. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Sunday afternoon. However, given the quick […]

Jake Sanderson Exits Early On Saturday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) exited early during their victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday evening. Sanderson sustained a hit near his neck and exited shortly after. After the game, the team did not provide an update on his status. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor him leading up to their […]

Ty Gibbs May Not Be Worth His Salary For COTA DFS Lineups

Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing will start 13th for this week's Echopark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. It will be the second time in his Cup career that Gibbs will start outside of the top 10 at the site. In two previous races at COTA, Gibbs has two top-10 finishes, and […]

Quinn Hughes Set To Be Evaluated

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) is set to undergo further evaluation. The defenseman "tweaked something" during their loss to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday evening. The 25-year-old logged just over 20 minutes of ice time and was given more rest during the final frame. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up […]

Seth Jones Traded To Florida

The Florida Panthers have acquired defenseman Seth Jones and a 2026 fourth-round pick from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for goaltender Spencer Knight and a 2026 conditional first-round pick. The 30-year-old is still under contract for five seasons so fantasy managers should expect Jones to have a significant role in the Florida defense. Through 42 […]

Is Daniel Suarez Worth Rostering For DFS Lineups At COTA?

Trackhouse Racing's Daniel Suarez will start fifth for Sunday's Echopark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. This will be the third time that Suarez will start inside the top five at the Texas road course, matching his start position with the 2023 Cup event at the site. In four previous races at COTA, […]

Carson Hocevar Provides Plenty Of Risk For DFS Lineups At COTA

Carson Hocevar will start fourth for Sunday's Echopark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas after qualifying. Hocevar is the highest qualifier of all three Spire Motorsports entries for the site this week. In Hocevar's only previous start at COTA last year, he started 18th and went on to finish 22nd. In four road […]

Ryan Blaney Is A Great DFS Play With Upside For COTA

Team Penske's Ryan Blaney obtained a starting position of 25th after qualifying for this week's Echopark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. This marks the third consecutive race in Blaney's Cup career where he will start outside of the top 10 at the site. In four starts at COTA, the No. 12 Team […]

The offseason is critical for dynasty fantasy football managers wanting to shake up their rosters. Whether you're trying to improve one position or want to rebuild your entire team, making the right trades now can set you up for success in future years. Dynasty leagues reward those who are ahead of the curve. One of […]

Chase Briscoe Is A Solid All-Around Driver Worth It For COTA DFS Lineups

Chase Briscoe of Joe Gibbs Racing will start 18th in this week's Circuit of the Americas race, the Echopark Texas Grand Prix, after qualifying. It will be the third time in Briscoe's Cup career where he will start a race at the Texas road course inside the top 20. In four starts at COTA in […]

Biggest Fantasy Football Tight End Surprises: 2nd-Year TE Breakout Stars and Sleepers for 2025 Drafts

Usually, you know what you're getting at tight end. Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews finish top three at the position in fantasy football. Young guys struggle to get going. Jonnu Smith fails to live up to the hype that I've personally had for him for years now. None of those things happened in 2024, though. […]

Could Brad Keselowski Be Usable For All DFS Formats At COTA?

Brad Keselowski will start 26th for Sunday's Echopark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. This marks the fifth consecutive race where the No. 6 Ford driver will start 24th or worse at COTA. In four previous races at the site, Keselowski has two top-20 finishes while scoring positive place differential three times. In […]

Is Noah Gragson Worth Rostering For COTA Lineups This Week?

Front Row Motorsports driver Noah Gragson will start 17th for this week's race at Circuit of the Americas, the Echopark Texas Grand Prix. It will be the second time in his Cup career that Gragson will start inside the top 20 at the Texas road course. In two past starts at COTA, Gragson's best finish […]

Top Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Surprises: 2nd-Year WR Breakout Stars & Sleepers for 2025 Drafts

The 2024 NFL season was full of surprises, from expected playoff teams like the Cowboys and 49ers faltering during the regular season to unexpected players breaking out. While the top three wide receivers in fantasy scoring weren't a surprise to anyone (Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Amon-Ra St. Brown), some of the names that followed […]

Erik Jones Is A Cash-Game Pick For COTA DFS Lineups

Erik Jones of Legacy Motor Club obtained a starting position of 32nd after qualifying for this week's Echopark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. This will mark the third time in his Cup career that Jones will start 30th or lower at COTA. In four races at COTA, the No. 43 Toyota driver […]

2025 Fantasy Football Backup Running Back Rankings for Dynasty Leagues: Sleepers and Value Picks

Ah, the backup running backs. Fantasy football managers hold them all season in the hopes that, for at least one week, they have a fantasy starter. Not all backup running backs are created equal. The top-end runners technically don't start but see an equal share of touches. There are the high-value handcuffs, the running backs […]

Every AFC Team's Most Undervalued Dynasty Fantasy Football Players to Target in 2025

Dynasty fantasy football is a growing game. What started as a thing for hardcore players has become a format casual players enjoy, too. While everyone enjoys making a blockbuster trade, moving multiple superstar players and draft picks, that’s not how you win your dynasty fantasy league. Instead, the league-winning moves are the ones for undervalued […]

William Byron Not The Favorite But Expect Him To Contend

After winning back-to-back poles at Austin, William Byron qualified a disappointing 15th for Sunday's Echopark Automotive Grand Prix. But don't expect him to stay there for long, as he fought a scrappy race-long battle with Sunday's's polesitter Tyler Reddick in 2023 before pretty much controlling the race last year. Although he was slow in the […]

Denny Hamlin Weirdly Mediocre At Austin Qualifying

Denny Hamlin, the driver of the No. 11 Toyota, fittingly qualified 11th at Circuit of the Americas, but curiously, the Joe Gibbs Racing car he drives has not seemed to be as fast on road courses (especially here) as the 23XI Racing cars he owns. While both of his drivers locked out the front row […]

Kyle Busch Should Have A Strong Run

Since switching to Richard Childress Racing, Kyle Busch has almost entirely lost any semblance of the surefire consistency he used to have. However, road courses seem to have been an exception as he had four top fives on road and street courses in 2023 and he still had two top tens on those tracks last […]

Michael McDowell Might Be A Good DFS Play

For all the hype Michael McDowell gets as a road-racing pro, Carson Hocevar really showed him up in Austin qualifying on Saturday as Hocevar qualified fourth to McDowell's 16th. Admittedly, that is the best McDowell has ever qualified here and he did finish better than he started in all his previous races except last year, […]

Joey Logano Might Have More Speed On Sunday

After having potentially race-winning speed in both drafting track races, Joey Logano starts the meat-and-potatoes portion of the NASCAR Cup Series season with a 23rd-place qualifying run at Austin. That sounds rather bad in a vacuum, but the Fords were absolutely miserable in qualifying as only Todd Gilliland qualified in the top 15 and Logano […]

Lack Of Road-Course Prowess And Justin Alexander Likely To Doom Austin Dillon

Road courses have always been Austin Dillon's worst track type as he only has two top-10 finishes in 37 starts and an average finish of 22.6, while he's been more competitive everywhere else. One of those top-10 finishes did come at the road course where the NASCAR Cup Series will be racing on Sunday in […]

Justin Haley An Overrated Road Racer

Justin Haley has a reputation as a strong road racer because of a couple genuinely strong runs at Chicago in 2023 and the Charlotte roval in 2022 that don't seem to be representative of his usual performance. His average finish at Austin is only 28.3. He did have a mechanical DNF in one of those […]

Road Courses Are Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s Worst Track Type

Although Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is a genuinely good driver on drafting tracks and he's had moments on all other track types, road courses are clearly Stenhouse's Achilles heel as he has only a single top-10 finish in 40 road-course starts. It did come here at Austin in 2023 when he finished seventh, but that was […]

Don't Expect Josh Berry To Duplicate Atlanta Run At Austin

Josh Berry had possibly the best drive of his career at Atlanta last week where he led 56 laps, but that means nothing in terms of predicting how he'll do at Austin. Berry has only made four Cup Series starts on road courses to date but so far they seem to be his worst track […]
