Alex Ovechkin Records Two Goals In Friday's Win

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin buried a pair of goals as his team picked up a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night.

De'Anthony Melton (PG/SG, MEM): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Grizz welcomed Grayson Allen back to their starting lineup last Wednesday, and all he did was put on a serious dud. De'Anthony Melton, on the other hand, had a sound game in which he finished with a 13-10-6-2 dub-dub, hit a triple, […]

Andrew Wiggins Explodes For Season-High 40 Points

Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins had a huge performance on Friday against Memphis, finishing a 116-103 win with a season-high 40 points. He shot 14-for-24 from the field and 6-for-11 from downtown with a 6-for-9 record at the line. Wiggins' line also included eight rebounds, four assists, and four steals. The former first […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is a very real chance Houston doesn't win another game for the rest of the season. No, seriously. I'm writing this post just hours after the Rockets have sent P.J. Tucker packing to Milwaukee in exchange for D.J. Augustin--who they will flip […]

Moses Brown (C, OKC): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: After starting in back-to-back games on March 14 and 16, Moses Brown went back to ride the pine on Thursday night. That's not entirely a problem, assuming he can at least keep up the production he played at when he started for the […]

Christian Wood Has Double-Double Performance

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood recorded a double-double in Friday's loss to Detroit, notching 18 points on 8-for-14 shooting and adding 11 rebounds. He also produced two blocks, two assists, and one steal. Wood has now played twice since returning from a bad ankle sprain, and he's been on a minutes limit, but according to […]

Danny Green (SG/SF, PHI): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: There aren't many starters with such a low rostership in Yahoo leagues these days. It makes sense to a certain extent, though, as Danny has been part of the starting five in all 41 games he's played, but his per-minute production has been […]

Garrett Whitlock Looks To Secure Roster Spot

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock looks like a steal. Acquired from the New York Yankees during the offseason via the Rule 5 draft, the right-hander continued to overpower spring hitters with three innings of shutout baseball on Friday. He allowed just one hit and struck out five Tampa Bay Rays batters. So far this […]

Dwight Howard (C, PHI): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even if you don't pay attention to the league that much, you know what's popping: Joel Embiid fell down injured and will be out for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, everything points toward Dwight Howard's direction to take on Embiid's role […]

Saddiq Bey Maintains Momentum On Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey followed up Wednesday's 28-point performance with a 20-point effort on Friday, finishing a 113-100 win over Houston on 6-for-15 shooting. He cooled off from downtown and went 2-for-9 with the three-ball while shooting 6-for-6 at the line. Bay also had six rebounds, two assists, and two steals. The 21-year-old rookie […]

Jarren Duran Has Four Hits

Boston Red Sox prospect Jarren Duran is out to prove that the loss of veteran outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who left via free agency in the offseason, is no big deal. The rookie outfielder went 4-for-5 with a double, stolen base, and three runs batted in on Friday. He's now 11-for-27 (.407) with six extra-base […]

Frank Jackson Leads All Scorers With 23 Points

Detroit Pistons point guard Frank Jackson was a perfect 5-for-5 from downtown on Friday and ended up as the leading scorer in a win over Houston, finishing with 23 points. He shot 7-for-10 overall from the field and 4-for-5 at the charity stripe, adding a pair of rebounds, one assist, and one steal. It was […]

EPL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel (3/20/21) - English Premier League Soccer

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have an odd schedule of EPL games this weekend. With Southampton's inclusion in the FA Cup quarterfinals this weekend, their game against Tottenham in the league was postponed. That leaves us with just one EPL game Saturday, however, I will still be breaking down that game in full for you here. […]

Ian Anderson Strikes Out Nine Batters

Atlanta Braves starter Ian Anderson overpowered the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The rookie hurler struck out nine batters and allowed two runs in 4.2 innings of work. Anderson's command hasn't been perfect this spring and he's allowed 11 hits over 9.2 innings but his K-BB is an eye-opening 18-3. Anderson posted a 1.95 ERA and […]

Nick Lodolo Allows One Runs In Cactus League Start

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo made the start in a 6-2 Cactus League win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday. The lefty allowed one run over one inning of work while striking out one in the outing, bringing him to a 6.00 ERA across three innings of work this spring. Lodolo is ranked as […]

Ryan Blaney Could Inch Up And Provide Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney is an interesting driver this week in Atlanta because he showed last year that the Penske Racing driver could contend on this 325-lap track. He finished fourth but honestly, could have won the race. The previous year he led 41 laps before running into trouble and finishing a lap down. Blaney starts in […]

William Byron Shows Less DFS Upside On Sunday

William Byron bounced around the track last Sunday in Phoenix but never led a lap. The possibilities exist that the Hendrick Motorsports driver could have the same fate this Sunday in Atlanta. Since the Daytona races, Byron won in Homestead and followed that up with two eighth-place finishes. He seems to carry the speed well […]

Christopher Bell May Show Some DFS Potential Sunday

Christopher Bell is bound to put it together one of these times on a speedway. He had a rather fast car last week in Phoenix but ended up ninth. The week before the Joe Gibbs Racing driver ended up seventh in Vegas. Oddly, he did not lead a lap in either race, and yet it […]

Kyle Larson Could Hang Around Top-Ten On Sunday

Kyle Larson was likely glad to get out of Daytona because the last three races have been a good bit better including the surprising win in Vegas. This is along with a fourth in Homestead and a seventh last week in Phoenix. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has shown a knack for hanging around the top-ten […]

Chase Elliott May Not Contend On Sunday In Atlanta

Though Chase Elliott had a better drive in Phoenix last Sunday, finishing 5th, he did not lead a single lap and only got close to the front every so often. In the final restart, Elliott was a non-factor. The Hendrick Motorsports driver did lead 26 laps last year in Atlanta but that was mostly aided […]

Joey Logano Should Be Good DFS Choice This Sunday

Joey Logano has the race car to lead some laps. He had everything set up at Phoenix and then had the rug pulled out from under him by Martin Truex Jr. Logano led 143 of the 312 laps before settling for second place. The Roger Penske Racing driver starts from the third position for the […]

Brad Keselowski Has A Chance To Win In Atlanta

Most tend to forget that Brad Keselowski has won two of the last four races in Atlanta. He starts from the fourth spot for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 on Sunday. The key for Keselowski is to not repeat what happened last year where he got into some early trouble and could never truly […]

David Bednar Continues Dominant Spring Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar continued what has been a dominant Spring Training performance on Friday, striking out two in a perfect inning of relief against the Orioles. Bednar has yet to allow a run in seven appearances this spring, as he has allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out 13 […]

Martin Truex Jr. Expects To Ride Momentum From Phoenix To Atlanta

Martin Truex Jr. found a way to lead the right laps as he pulled away to win in Phoenix last Sunday. Can he do it again this Sunday in Atlanta? The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts from the second position for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Also, Truex Jr. enjoys the second-best odds at […]
