Martin Truex Jr. Looks For Third Kentucky Victory

Martin Truex Jr. feels underpriced this week. A two-time winner at Kentucky Speedway, the driver of the Joe Gibbs Racing 19 car is DraftKing's ninth-highest priced driver and FanDuel's fifth. The latter feels appropriate, but Truex has a chance to be a valuable DFS option on the former platform. In wins here in 2017 and […]

Clint Bowyer May Be Overpriced For Kentucky

Costing $9,400, Clint Bowyer is one of the higher-priced options for the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, but that doesn't mean fantasy players should feel confident in him for their fantasy lineups. Bowyer has managed to finish in the top 10 just twice in his last 10 races at intermediate tracks like Kentucky Speedway. […]

Matt DiBenedetto Is Solid Value Play At Kentucky

Because he's never been in equipment as good as his current Wood Brothers Racing ride, it's hard to judge Matt DiBenedetto's past results at Kentucky Speedway. But in the second-best car he's driven in the Cup Series, DiBenedetto finished 16th here last year. Factor in that he's shown speed at intermediate tracks in 2020 and […]

William Byron Looking For First Top 10 At Kentucky

Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron has run a pair of Cup Series races at Kentucky Speedway, resulting in a best finish of 18th last season. Byron's Xfinity results at the track included one top 10, but overall the young driver of the 24 car just hasn't managed to put together a strong run at the […]

Alex Bowman Hasn't Had Success At Kentucky

When Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman straps into the 88 car to start Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, he'll be chasing his first-ever top 10 result at the track. And while some encouraging runs in lower series races at the track in the past suggest that Bowman can be successful here, it's hard […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Quaker State 400

A weird week of racing at Kentucky is capped off on Sunday with the Quaker State 400. Unless, uhh, it rains a little too much... Anyway, some storylines: Jimmie Johnson is back in the 48 after a one-week absence due to COVID-19. The All-Star race is coming up on the 15th and the cars will […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Still Absent From Jays Camp

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has yet to report to the team's summer camp, and manager Charlie Montoyo declined to comment on his status when asked on Saturday. It's easy to speculate that his absence is COVID-19 related, but we may not find out to what extreme since it's not mandatory to reveal […]

Cheap and Forgotten Players With Great Upside

As fantasy GMs, there are some things we'll never learn. One of them: forgiveness. Be it a bad stretch of games, a down season, an injury-riddled year, or even just a dropped catch on a would-have-been big play, we often put names on our never-again draft list. That happens every year in fantasy football. You […]

Give Corey Davis One More Chance

Tennessee Titans wide receiver, Corey Davis, is entering his fourth season in the NFL and already, many in the fantasy community are dumping their stock and refusing to buy at bottom-barrel prices. Davis is currently going off of the board in NFBC drafts around draft pick 200. Hardly anyone is reaching for him. Davis typically […]

Quaker State 400: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

Giddy up fam, because the NASCAR boys are headed to Kentucky Motor Speedway (AKA K-Tuck) on Sunday. So far we've had non stop racing action, with back to back Xfinity Series wins from Austin Cindric.

EPL Betting Picks (7/12/20 & 7/13/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The midweek slate was a mixed bag. Denied by the woodwork and controversial officiating on Tuesday. On Thursday, two of our picks drew. And Wednesday, I'm still salty about. With 90 minutes on the clock in the first three games, we need a West Ham goal to bag all three picks and two correct scores. […]

Welcome back RotoBallers!

Sean Engel is a six-time DraftKings tournament winner and a 16-year Fantasy NASCAR veteran and will be bringing […]

NASCAR DFS: Building an Optimal Lineup For Sunday's Quaker Stake 400 at Kentucky

Over the years, Kentucky Speedway has favored some drivers more than others. Last year, the first race at the 1.5-mile track with the current aerodynamic package, was a snoozer until the final restart, when the Busch brothers battled it out on a two-lap dash. That's not surprising for Kentucky. Unfortunately, it's been criticized over the […]

Engel's Angles: The DK Metcalf Love Affair Is Real

When I have watched the NFL over the years, it has always been fun to pinpoint the moments when I realize that some players are just going to be special. One of the first times I recall saying “this player is going to be very good” was when I watched a young Brett Favre handle […]

Rookies Expected to Struggle Early in 2020

If you know how DFS football works, then you know every week you have the chance to pick the best-looking players for the scheduled slate of games. For those playing season-long leagues, that's not an option. Once you draft your team you must stick to your decisions and only make minimal tweaks through the waiver […]

Chris Buescher Is Tough To Trust At Kentucky

Chris Buescher will start the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway 13th, but there are several red flags surrounding him as a fantasy option. Last year, Buescher finished 10th in the Quaker State 400, but that finish shouldn't be used to justify him in DFS lineups. Buescher finished ahead of 10 lead-lap drivers who posted […]

Jiri Prochazka Shocks With Devastating KO

Jiri Prochazka shook up the light heavyweight division in his UFC debut. After a close first round at UFC 251, which probably went the way of Volkan Oezdemir, Prochazka settled down in the second round and took over. After a head kick sent Oezdemir reeling, Prochazka followed up with a punch that floored Oezdemir, ending […]

Erik Jones Chases First Win At Kentucky

Erik Jones has been a steady performer at Kentucky Speedway, which will host this week's Quaker State 400. Jones has raced at Kentucky Speedway three times in the cup Series and has left each race with a top-10 finish. In fact, there have only been two segments across all three that did not have Jones […]

Elizeu dos Santos Drops Heartbreaking Split-Decision

Elizeu dos Santos entered the contest at UFC 251 with an impressive 8-2 record. After getting back on track after the Jingliang Li loss with a decision victory, Santos dropped a split-decision to Muslim Salikhov on Saturday. Santos has now lost two of his last three. He landed 46 significant strikes and was unsuccessful in […]

Muslim Salikhov Wins Fourth In A Row

After losing his UFC debut, Muslim Salikhov has now won four in a row. Arguably his toughest victory to date, Elizeu dos Santos pushed Salikhov to the limit, with Salikhov pulling out a split decision win. The battle went back and forth all fight, which is reflected in the stats. Salikhov was able to land […]

Danny Henry Suffers A Tough Loss

Danny Henry met an unfortunate end to his night at UFC 251, losing at the hands of Makwan Amirkhani via anaconda choke. The bout only lasted 3:15, so there was not a lot to evaluate from Henry. He is now on a skid though, dropping his last two in a row for a UFC record […]

Makwan Amirkhani Wins With Impressive Submission

Makwan Amirkhani rebounded well from his Shane Burgos defeat in November 2019. 3:15 into the first round, he caught Danny Henry in a beautiful anaconda choke, completely putting Henry to sleep. Amirkhani shot in for his first takedown attempt, which was successful. After a short bit of time on the mat, Amirkhani got Henry where […]

Roman Bogatov No Longer Undefeated After UFC Debut

Roman Bogatov, the former M-1 Challenge champion, suffered a loss at the hands of Leonardo Santos in his organizational debut. With half of Bogatov's victories coming by submission, it's important to his game to get his opponent to the mat. He was only 1-for-11 on takedowns, which will never give you the opportunities you need […]

Leonardo Santos Takes Decision In A Wild Three-Rounder

Leonardo Santos remains unbeaten (7-0-1) in the UFC, with a unanimous-decision victory. Santos landed a solid 111 strikes, with 66 classified as significant strikes. After an uneventful first round, Santos landed a series of strikes on Roman Bogatov that nearly ended the contest. Santos gased out and Bogatov took control at the end of the […]

Short Notice Call Does Not Pan Out For Maxim Grishin

Maxim Grishin had a rough go of it in his UFC debut against a very tough Marcin Tybura. Tybura did his best to neutralize Grishin's standup game by keeping him on the mat. 15 of Grishin's 30 victories have come by knockout, so that had to be in Tybura's mind. Grishin was only able to […]
