FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/20/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a Tuesday slate with just two games on the schedule, the NBA ramps back up with a jam-packed Wednesday lineup. Twenty teams are scheduled to play in ten games across the national landscape. Two marquee nationally televised tilts will be the highlights on Wednesday, with the Celtics and Sixers re-igniting their rivalry yet again […]

Rickie Fowler An Overpriced DFS Option

Rickie Fowler has a fairly hefty DFS price this week, and his play this season suggests he should be a bit cheaper. In six starts this season, Fowler has missed two cuts and has not notched a top-25 finish in his other four starts. He is fairly long off the tee but is struggling in […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (1/20/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Tuesday was very underwhelming with just two games total, but both remained, somewhat-close and Wednesday rebounds with ten confirmed games, three starting at 6PM EST. With the amount of injuries and absences surrounding the league, the lineups are including more unknown names. If a team is short-handed, the best player on that team assumes a […]

Cameron Champ Searching For Short Game

Cameron Champ will make his second straight appearance this weekend at The American Express, where he placed 21st in 2020. He averages 318 yards off the tee but will need to improve in other areas of his game to compete this week. Champ ranks just 183rd on the Tour in scrambling. He has also struggled […]

Paul Casey A Risky Play At PGA West

Paul Casey played at The American Express last season and finished 21st. Casey has not been playing great this season with just one top-20 finish in five starts. He ranks 33rd in driving distance but has not quite found good form in other areas of his game. Casey ranks 110th in strokes gained approaching the […]

Phillies Chances Of Signing J.T. Realmuto Increase

The Philadelphia Phillies chances of re-signing star catcher J.T. Realmuto received a boost when the Toronto Blue Jays signed outfielder George Springer to a six-year, $150 million deal. The Blue Jays didn't view catching as a big weakness to begin with, and it's hard to envision them making room for another nine-figure player. The Phillies […]

Blue Jays Don't Have Deal With Michael Brantley

Updating a previous report, the Toronto Blue Jays remain among the teams interested in free-agent outfielder Michael Brantley, but they have not reached an agreement on a contract, according to a source familiar with the situation. It was reported earlier on Wednesday that Toronto and Brantley had agreed on a three-year deal. The 33-year-old left-handed […]

Patrick Cantlay An Expensive DFS Play At The American Express

Patrick Cantlay is the most expensive DFS option this week, and for good reason. He is playing well this season with a win and three other top-20 finishes. Cantlay is solid in all areas of his game, especially around the greens. He ranks seventh in scrambling and 17th in strokes gained around the green. He […]

Stefon Diggs Gets In Limited Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (oblique) remains on the injury report and was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Diggs has been battling an oblique injury late this season, but it hasn't really slowed him down at all. The NFL's leader in receptions and receiving yards in 2020, the 27-year-old has 14 catches on […]

Francesco Molinari Coming Out Of Hibernation For AmEx

It's been a precipitous decline for Francesco Molinari over the last 18 months. The 2018 Open champion was ranked as high as sixth in the world in 2019, but has tumbled all the way to 130th in the current OWGR. The Italian suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Tiger Woods in the 2019 […]

Gabriel Davis Misses Practice On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Gabriel Davis (ankle) and defensive tackle Vernon Butler (quadriceps) both missed practice on Wednesday. Davis injured his ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Ravens last Saturday night. As of right now, the impressive 21-year-old should be considered questionable to play against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship on […]

A.J. Dillon Should Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie running back A.J. Dillon (quadriceps) "should be out there a little bit today" at practice. Meanwhile, offensive tackle Jared Veldheer remains in the COVID-19 protocols, while running back Tyler Ervin (foot) will not practice. Dillon's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, so he should […]

Phil Mickelson Set To Host American Express

Phil Mickelson will be pulling double duty at this week's American Express. The legend will both serve as the tournament's "host" and tee it up in the event. Mickelson has an elite track record in this tournament and posted a runner-up finish in the AmEx just two years ago. The 50-year-old has displayed dominance on […]

Tony Finau A Popular Choice At The American Express

Tony Finau will make his second appearance at The American Express after finishing 14th here last season. He is one of the most expensive DFS options this week at a price of $10,500. He is solid off the tee and with his approach shots, ranking 38th in driving distance and 51st in strokes gained approaching […]

Ronald Jones II Says He's Good

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (quadriceps) said he's all good and is already feeling better than last week when he was questionable heading into the Divisional Round against the Saints. Jones couldn't get loose during pre-game warmups before the wild-card win against Washington and didn't play at all in that contest, but […]

Peter Malnati Looks To Stay Sharp

Peter Malnati closed out 2020 with two top-five finishes over his last five starts. Malnati appears to have carried his sharp play into the new year after an opening-round 62 led to a T14 in last week's Sony Open. The East Tennessean will try to stay hot at this week's American Express event. He's had […]

Andrew Landry Set To Defend American Express Title

Andrew Landry heads to La Quinta, California, this week in defense of his 2020 American Express title. Landry held off a charging Abraham Ancer to win last year's AmEx with a score of 26-under par. The Arkansas native has teed it up in Hawaii the last two weeks with little success, posting a T38 in […]

Sam Burns Set To Make Third Straight Start At PGA West

Sam Burns will make his third straight start at PGA West this week and has finishes of 18th and sixth in last two appearances. Burns smashes the ball off the tee, ranking fifth on Tour in driving distance. He also hits greens in regulation at a rate of nearly 76 percent and ranks 34th in […]

Vita Vea Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said on Wednesday that defensive tackle Vita Vea (ankle), who has been out since Week 5 with a fractured ankle, looked good after taking part in the team's walkthrough practice. Arians thought that Vea had a chance to return after watching him run in a pool around three […]

Jonas Valanciunas Won't Play Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to COVID-19. He has been sidelined since Sunday due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Xavier Tillman Sr. has moved into the starting five and has been an unstoppable force. He's a must-start and must-own fantasy option […]

Chris Kirk Turns In Clutch Performance To Keep Card

Chris Kirk might not win a major championship anytime soon, but the 35-year-old turned in a major-worthy performance in last week's Sony Open. Playing on a major-medical exemption, Kirk needed at least a three-way share of third place to keep his PGA Tour Card. The former Georgia Bulldog put together a clutch back-nine stretch that […]

Andrew Wiggins Questionable Versus Spurs

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Losing Wiggins would be a shame after he's coming off his best shooting performance of the season. Wiggins is dealing with right knee soreness, so the team might wait to see how he feels pregame. His […]

Patrick Mahomes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Sammy Watkins Practice

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (concussion, toe), rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) all took part in practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, but head coach Andy Reid said that Thursday's practice is the big day. Mahomes took most of the snaps, a very positive sign […]

Abraham Ancer Looks For Bounce-Back Performance

Abraham Ancer missed the cut for the first time since August last week at the Sony Open and will look for a bounce-back performance at The American Express. Ancer played well in this tournament last season with a runner-up finish. He is an accurate player, ranking 28th in greens in regulation percentage. Ancer will need […]

Lou Williams Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran shooter has been out basically a week due to left hip discomfort. Reggie Jackson would see more playing time coming his way, assuming Williams is out. However, Luke Kennard is the safer fantasy option regardless […]

Brooks Koepka Set To Make First Start Of 2021

Brooks Koepka will make his first start of 2021 this week at the American Express. It will also be Koepka's first career start in the La Quinta event. The four-time major winner suffered through an injury-plagued 2020 and rarely looked like the dominant player we've seen in the past. However, by all accounts Koepka is […]

Russell Henley Has Great Form, Bad Course History

Russell Henley was one of golf's most consistent ball-strikers over the latter half of 2020. Henley continued to look sharp last week in the Sony Open, gaining an impressive 6.9 strokes from tee to green en route to a T11 finish at Waialae. The former Georgia Bulldog brings that hot form to this week's American […]

Evan Fournier Finally Returns To The Lineup

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be his first game action since late December, so expect Fournier to be somewhat limited. The Magic are desperate for a playmaker after Markelle Fultz (knee) went down. Fournier's return will mean less playing time for Dwayne Bacon […]

Seth Curry Ruled Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics due to COVID-19. He was cleared from the NBA's health and safety protocols but won't play on Wednesday. The veteran shooter hasn't played in two weeks, so the Sixers want him to get up his conditioning before getting back into […]
