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 […]

Josh Fuentes Drives In Four In Game 2 Of Doubleheader

Colorado Rockies third baseman Josh Fuentes went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in a 7-2 win over the Mets in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Saturday. Fuentes picked up his first RBI in the first inning with a groundout to score Charlie Blackmon. He then took reliever Jacob Barnes deep for […]

Chase Briscoe's Rookie Learning Lesson Continues At Richmond

Chase Briscoe does not carry too much DFS upside at Richmond on Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver starts from the 26th position and has not finished on the lead lap in his last three races which were all short tracks. 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. That is the kind of drive the Roush Fenway Racing driver can deliver. He does start 19th which offers some room for an improved position. In 2019, […]

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. Jacob deGrom was dealing all afternoon, striking out nine Rockies in a row at one point, before finishing with 14 punchouts. He got Nunez […]

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 […]

Raimel Tapia Picks Up Second Home Run Of The Year On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 4-3 loss to the Mets in Game 1 of their doubleheader on Saturday. Tapia capped off a three-run fifth inning for the Rockies when he took Jacob deGrom deep for his second homer of the year. The 27-year-old […]

Aric Almirola Has A Little Upside Sunday For Toyota Owners 400

Aric Almirola has not had an easy 2021 and has finished outside the top ten in every single range. Sunday may not be different at the Richmond Raceway. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does show a little positive place differential possibility though. In 11 of his previous dozen races on the 3/4 mile track, Almirola has […]

German Marquez Throws Complete Game In Win Over Mets

Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez secured his first win of the season in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Mets in Game 2 of their doubleheader. He allowed just two runs on two hits with two walks and six strikeouts over seven innings of work. Jeff McNeil smacked a two-run double off him in the top […]

Brad Keselowski A Great But Chalky Play At Richmond

Brad Keselowski starts all the way down in 20th on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. The Team Penske driver has finished in the top ten five consecutive times. That culminated in an unexpected win last year on the 3/4 mile track. The Fall race saw Keselowski lead 182 of the 400 laps en route to the […]

Chris Flexen Turns In A Quality Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen did his part Saturday, scattering ten hits over six innings, allowing one earned run while walking none and striking out three. Unfortunately, Seattle's offense was stymied by Houston's Zack Greinke, and Flexen was saddled with the loss despite his solid effort. Flexen has been a solid find for the […]

John Wall To Rest Against Orlando

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (injury management) will not play on Sunday against Orlando. With the team playing its first of a back-to-back, the 30-year-old will get the night off to rest. Without Wall in the lineup, Kevin Porter Jr. is a definite must-start in all formats, including DFS, as he will see a noticeable […]

Andre Iguodala Questionable Against Brooklyn

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matinee with the Nets. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his left hip, an ailment that forced him to sit out of Friday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Trevor Ariza should continue to benefit if Iguodala is out again, with the 35-year-old averaging […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/18/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Rise and shine, Rotoballers, we've got a fun slate on tap this Sunday afternoon. The DraftKings main slate features nine games and nine hundred ways to go about creating lineups. Two of the best pitchers will toe the rubber as Shane Bieber will take on the Reds in his first start since his nine-inning, 11 […]

Victor Oladipo Not Close To Returning

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) isn't expected back anytime soon. The 28-year-old does not have a return date at the moment, and based on the severity of his past injuries, the team will play it safe in hopes of having him back at full strength for the postseason. With only a few weeks left […]

Jimmy Butler In Jeopardy Of Sitting Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) could miss Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. The veteran has been dealing with a sprained right ankle but has been able to play through it, so it appears likely he will be good to go. If he does sit out for some reason, Goran Dragic, Trevor Ariza, Tyler Herro, and […]

It is a deluxe suite of advanced NASCAR statistics that can help you identify the best top drivers and value plays for ideal lineup constructions every week.

James Harden Out Again On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) will sit out during Sunday's matchup against Miami. The veteran continues to make progress toward working his way back from a right hamstring strain. Without the former MVP in the mix, expect Kyrie Irving to benefit from a usage standpoint while running things at the point. In addition to […]

Doug McDermott Remains Questionable Against Hawks

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Hawks. The veteran has missed his previous two games while working his way back from a sprained left ankle. With Myles Turner (ankle) also in danger of missing another one, the team may once again be shorthanded underneath the rim, a void […]

Myles Turner May Play Against Atlanta

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) could make his return on Sunday against the visiting Hawks. The 25-year-old has missed the previous six contests while dealing with a left ankle sprain. If Turner isn't able to make it back against Atlanta, expect Domantas Sabonis to continue to man the middle, with Edmond Sumner and Jeremy […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Miss Another One On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (foot) will sit out during Sunday's matchup against Indiana. The veteran has missed his previous three games while battling soreness in his right foot. In his absence, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter should continue to see extended run, although their usage and workload could be jeopardized by the potential return […]

John Collins Questionable On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Pacers. The 23-year-old has recently ramped up his conditioning and on-court activities after missing his previous nine games with a left ankle sprain. Although Danilo Gallinari (foot) will be out against Indiana, fantasy managers may be taking a gamble by inserting […]

Sandy Alcantara Sharp Until The Seventh On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara was excellent for the first six innings of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, but was left in for the seventh and struggled. In total, Alcantara threw 6 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on six hits without walking a batter and striking out seven. Alcantara dominated through […]

Twins-Angels Game On Sunday Postponed

The Minnesota Twins' scheduled game against the Angels on Sunday has been postponed. The news comes just hours after the postponement of Saturday's contest and the announcement of another positive COVID-19 test out of Minnesota- outfielder Kyle Garlick. Sunday's game was cancelled to "allow for continued testing and contact tracing involving members of the Twins' […]
