Building an Optimal NASCAR DFS Lineup for Saturday's Coke Zero 400

For the first time since NASCAR implemented a playoff format in 2004, the regular-season finale will come on a superspeedway track, that being Daytona International Superspeedway. Expect chaos. Superspeedways are as unpredictable as racing comes, oftentimes using Darwin's Theory of Survival of the Fittest, only in terms of damage. Hell, sometimes that doesn't even work, […]

Kyler Murray Should Be More Efficient In Second Season

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense have been practicing at warp speed in training camp.

Troy Pride Could Earn Starting Snaps For Panthers Defense

Carolina Panthers rookie cornerback Troy Pride showed out in practice on Friday with multiple pass breakups while also helping to force an interception.
