FanShield 500: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

As a child, I remember riding with my mom and listening to a lot of crazy music in her car. Two songs that stood out to me the most were "Like The Deserts Miss The Rain" by Sade, and "Ocean Front Property" by George Strait (Two completely different worlds of music). You're probably wondering if […]

Late-Round Shortstops - Targets and Avoids in 2020

Once you reach the middle-to-late rounds of drafts, it would be smart to consider drafting some upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can take a risk or two on a variety of different players, including a prospect, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even players with skills but have […]

J.D. Davis Returns To Mets Lineup On Sunday

New York Mets infielder/outfielder J.D. Davis (shoulder) is in the Mets lineup on Sunday for their Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros. Davis is slated to bat cleanup and play left field. Davis is returning to the lineup from a jammed left shoulder he suffered earlier in spring training. Barring any setbacks, all signs […]

Dellin Betances Unimpressive In Mets Debut

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder, Achilles) made his Grapefruit League and Mets debut on Saturday with unimpressive results. In 1/3 inning pitched, Betances threw 24 pitches, struck out one batter, walked two, and gave up a two-run single. Most worrisome, however, was the fact that Betances' fastball topped out at 90 mph. […]

2020 MLB Sleepers - Austin Hays

One of my favorite aspects of fantasy sports is the excitement that it can bring to fans that otherwise might not have much to cheer about. Fans of the Baltimore Orioles certainly fit that description. The O's lost 108 games last season and didn't make many changes to the Major League club, with the exception […]

David Pastrnak Scores 48th Goal Of The Season

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak extended his point streak to five games with a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Tampa.

Steven Matz Perfect Over Three Innings

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz retired all nine Washington Nationals batters he faced on Saturday in Grapefruit League action. Matz struck out three in his three perfect innings of work. Despite the excellent outing, the competition for the Mets fifth rotation spot between Matz and Michael Wacha remains muddled. Both Matz and Wacha […]

Alex Killorn Scores Game-Winner Against Boston

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Alex Killorn produced the game-winning goal on a power play in Saturday's matchup against Boston when the Bolts got their revenge for Tuesday's 2-1 loss.

Trae Young Stays Cold Saturday Night

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young returned to action following a one-game absence, but something still seemed wrong with him, when he went 1-for-10 from downtown and had only 16 points in Saturday's loss to Memphis.

John Collins Scores 27 Points In Saturday's Loss

Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins led the team with 27 points in Saturday's loss to Memphis, shooting 9-for-16 from the field, a very good 3-for-5 from downtown and 6-for-7 at the line.

Josh Jackson Provides 17 Points Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Josh Jackson delivered another good scoring performance off the bench on Saturday, going for 17 points on 6-for-15 shooting in a win against Atlanta. He also had four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes of action. Jackson made only one of his seven attempts from deep, so […]

Joining the Launch Angle Revolution: Potential Power Risers

Launch angle has become perhaps the trendiest stat in all of fantasy baseball. If you turn on any podcast, you hear analysts mentioning that "if a player could only increase his launch angle, he could be a stud" (cough - Yandy Diaz - cough). Often, I think this analysis is oversimplified. Launch angle is obviously […]

Another Day, Another Double-Double For Hassan Whiteside

Death, taxes, and Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside collecting a double-double in an NBA game. Those are the three things that you can rely on in this world.

Nikola Jokic Scores Only Eight Against Cleveland

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored just eight points on four of 11 shooting in a loss to Cleveland to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists in 32 minutes of action.
