Bullpen Report: Shaking Things Up in Week 3

We have already seen a lot of FAAB spent on pitchers that have been named the closer. It happens every year. Whenever a new closer is named, especially if it is one that can miss bats – fantasy players love a pitcher that can miss bats. And the logic behind spending up on a pitcher […]

Erik Jones Is A Value DFS Option On Sunday For Toyota Owners 400

Erik Jones starts all the way back in 30th on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. That makes the Richard Petty Motorsports driver an intriguing choice because of his cheap DFS price. He was running well before the rear gear went in his car last week at Martinsville. It would not be surprising to see Jones get […]

Daniel Suarez A Question Mark At Richmond On Sunday

It is anyone's guess how Daniel Suarez will fare at Richmond Raceway on Sunday. He excelled at Bristol finishing in fourth. He did not handle Martinsville well. Ultimately, the TrackHouse Racing driver crashed out on lap 386. He was not much of a factor in the race anyway. The 3/4 mile track was unkind to […]

Chase Briscoe's Rookie Learning Lesson Continues At Richmond

Chase Briscoe does not carry too much DFS upside at Richmond on Sunday.

It seems Briscoe has not gotten a handle on tracks like this. Richmond's 14-degree banking […]

Ryan Newman Bit Of A Wildcard At Richmond Raceway

Ryan Newman could be an intriguing yet risky choice for Sunday's Toyota Owners 400. He could run a few laps down or surprise everyone with a top-five result.

Dom Nunez Smacks An RBI Triple On Saturday

Colorado Rockies catcher Dom Nunez went 1-for-3 with an RBI triple, a run scored, and two strikeouts in 4-3 loss to the Mets in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Saturday.

Alex Bowman Not Recommended For Richmond

Alex Bowman may be too far down in the field to factor much into the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has not finished on the lead lap in two of the last three races at Richmond. Also, he has had several negative place differentials as well recently. His season has […]
