Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 9-16

We've already run through the early rounds in Part 1 to find potential league winners in 2020 fantasy football drafts. Now, we move to the latter half of the draft. The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a […]

Overvalued RB Handcuffs Getting Too Expensive

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Usman vs. Masvidal (UFC 251)

If you know something about UFC's head honcho Dana White, it is that he's a stubborn man. Back when COVID hit for the first time, he was determined to keep the promotion going, even getting to claim that he had secured an island to hold some fights. It didn't come to happen, but at least […]

Don't Let Go: Players to Hold in Dynasty

Dynasty leagues require a lot of patience. After all, building a consistent, winning team takes time. It takes a keen eye for talent. It takes luck. And it takes the ability to recognize that sometimes you have to use a roster spot on someone who won't give you much in the short term, but who […]

Cincinnati Bengals 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Cincinnati Bengals limped to the finish in 2019 with a league-worst 2-14 record. For first-year head coach Zac Taylor, it was an absolute nightmare as the team fielded a putrid defense and started off 0-11.  Cincinnati dealt with blowouts and painfully close losses, but if there was any silver lining, it was getting the […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition

Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at […]

The difference between Standard and PPR (Point-Per-Reception) scoring systems is […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team in our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limiting the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense rather […]

ADP Champ or Chump: Jon Berti

Ever since the shortened season's rules were announced, it seems like fantasy owners obsessed over what it would mean for their pitching staff. Will my pitchers throw enough to get wins? Will teams use openers regularly? These are all valid questions, but owners would be wise to remember that pitching is only one-half of standard […]

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]

Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

Kurt Busch Looking To Repeat At Kentucky

Chip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch will start from the seventh position in Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. Busch has had a very consistent year, but his No. 1 car has lacked speed lately. In four of the last five races, Busch has finished outside of the top-10, but he will look to regain […]

Chase Elliott A Driver To Fade For DFS At Kentucky

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott drew the eighth starting spot for Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

Denny Hamlin Looks To Rebound At Kentucky

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin will start 12th in Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. Hamlin was a handful of laps away from winning his first career race at Indianapolis, before his No. 11 blew a right-front tire, sending Hamlin hard into the wall, as the car erupted in flames. Hamlin was on his […]

Jorge Masvidal With A Chance To Pull Off A Miracle

Jorge Masvidal (35-13) has seen a true resurrection in his career, earning his first UFC title shot in his 49th professional bout.

Alexander Volkanovski Out To Prove He's The Real Deal

The former 200-plus-pound rugby player has scored 11 knockouts as well as three submission victories in his career. Since coming to the […]

Giants Think Joey Bart Needs More Development

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler reiterated what president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said about catching prospect Joey Bart not being a likely candidate to jump in right away and replace Buster Posey, who has opted out of the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
