J.D. Martinez: Bounce-Back or Fantasy Bust?

It's easy to forget that just three short years ago, J.D Martinez was considered the best hitter in baseball. He slashed an incredible .330/.402/.629 with 43 home runs and 130 RBI, taking home the AL Hank Aaron Award. Martinez followed up that season with a very solid 2019, but his production completely fell off in […]

Chase Briscoe is learning life at the top level of NASCAR is full of bumps and hard knocks.

After four straight results in the top-ten, Almirola has lost spots during his last […]

Tyler Reddick Has Chance To Improve Track Position at Instacart 500

Tyler Reddick has the car to move up position-wise on Sunday at Phoenix.

Austin Dillon Another Driver To Avoid Sunday At Phoenix

Austin Dillon has not shown enough with the Richard Childress Racing car to inspire confidence for Sunday's Instacart 500.

Alex Bowman Not Recommended For Phoenix

Alex Bowman does not expect to be much of a factor at Phoenix on Sunday. The Instacart 500 has not been kind to the Hendrick Motorsports driver. He begins from the 21st position and likely will not figure in the top-ten or even 15 for that matter. His place differential has been negative on the […]

William Byron Has Some DFS Potential On Sunday

William Byron lucked out because of his early-season victory. As a result, he starts from the 10th position in Phoenix.
