Is Streaming Catchers a Smart Strategy?

The common adage is that you should be streaming at catcher, but sometimes I think we cling to that a little too tightly. We buy into the easy narratives of "Catchers can't hit" and "Don't waste high picks or FAAB on catchers" but I've always believed it was an oversimplification. Yes, the deeper your league […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (6/10/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, Rotoballers! Milwaukee is down 2-0, but Game 3 is pretty much their elimination game. If they can't get tonight's game, the series is a wrap.
