Denny Hamlin Value Pick Of The Week In Fontana

Denny Hamlin should be a favorite for fantasy owners on Sunday. Despite his poor showing in qualifying (starting 28th), Hamlin has shown consistent speed at the flat, intermediate tracks on the circuit. At Auto Club, Hamlin has the fifth-best driver rating among active drivers. He also enjoys the third-best average running position at the speedway. […]

Chase Elliott Has Solid Value In Fontana

Chase Elliott comes into California without a victory that he likely deserved in Las Vegas, but riding a solid start to the season when it comes to speed. Elliott and Crew Chief Alan Gustafson have a good history of speed on the flat intermediate tracks on the Cup Series circuit. Through four starts at Auto […]

Eric Paschall Scorches Suns With 25-Point Outing Off Bench

Golden State Warriors small/power forward Eric Paschall once again benefited from the absence of Draymond Green (knee) during Saturday’s win over the Phoenix Suns. Paschall dropped 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting as a reserve, marking his highest single-game scoring output since Nov. 27. In addition to the points, he added four assists and three rebounds, […]

Deandre Ayton Drops 20 Points, Falls Just Shy Of Double-Double

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Deandre Ayton has become a ubiquitous presence both in the scoring column and on the glass for his squad during February, tying a bow around those efforts during Saturday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. Ayton finished with 20 points on 8-for-16 shooting, collecting nine rebounds and two blocked shots across […]

Damion Lee Dishes Out Career-High Eight Assists

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee continued his breakout ascension during Saturday’s win over the Phoenix Suns, finishing with 20 points, eight assists and five rebounds.

Dragan Bender Logs Season-High 13 Points In Near Double-Double

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Dragan Bender faced his former franchise in the Phoenix Suns on Saturday and set new season highs with 13 points and nine rebounds. In just his fourth game with the Warriors, Bender has proven himself a high upside DFS option, as his price tag has not yet adjusted for his […]

Devin Booker Notches Team-Best 21 Points In Defeat

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker dropped a team-high 21 points during Saturday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, but delivered an atypically shallow night of production across the rest of his stat sheet. For just the second time all season, Booker failed to record a rebound, and despite playing 38 minutes, he was able […]

Victor Robles Gets MRI on Oblique

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles had an MRI on his left oblique some time in late February. The results were negative and he is day-to-day as of Saturday. Nationals manager Davey Martinez alluded to it still being very early in the baseball year, hence the caution. Unless there is news of an aggravation or setback, […]

Martin Truex Jr. Has Work Cut Out For Him in California

Martin Truex Jr.'s run for his third straight top 10 finish at Fontana is going to be a challenging one. The No. 19 Joe Gibbs Toyota wasn't allowed to lay down a qualifying time after failing tech inspection three times before the session. It is not all bad news for Truex, however. He ranked third […]

Giovanny Gallegos Picks Up a Save on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Giovanny Gallegos picked up a save in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals. Gallegos hasn't been great in the early going this spring, but he was solid in this one, allowing just one hit in his inning of work while recording a strikeout. Gallegos is the apparent front-runner […]

Carlos Martinez Throws Three Scoreless on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez threw three good innings in a Grapefruit League start against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He allowed three walks but struck out four and did not allow a hit. Martinez was solid as a closer last season, but he's trying to work his way back into the starting rotation […]

Sandy Alcantara Has Another Bad Start on Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara didn't have it on Saturday, struggling through just 1 2/3 innings in a Grapefruit League start against the Baltimore Orioles. Alcantara got just five outs, but allowed five runs on five hits and four walks in the process. Alcantara was the only All-Star for the Marlins last season, and […]

Auto Club 400: NASCAR DFS Rankings (Premium Content)

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.   Tier 1 Notes/Comments Heading into this week my favorite expensive drivers were Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr.  Now, with Truex qualifying at the back of the field, he becomes an even stronger play with the highest floor on the slate starting […]

Franmil Reyes Off To Hot Start

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes hit his second home run in Cactus League play in the second inning on Friday to give the Indians a 1-0 lead. He finished 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base. He dropped 18 pounds over the winter and appears to be dialed in early on in spring training. For […]

Freddy Peralta Sharp Saturday Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta tossed three innings, allowing no hits, a walk and three strikeouts against the Cubs on Saturday. Peralta has been focused on adding a slider to his repertoire in the offseason, and the Brewers recently signed him to a new five-year contract. He's gotten off to a hot start to begin spring training. […]

Orlando Arcia Hits Third Home Run Of Spring

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia has been on a tear at the plate thus far in Cactus League play. He’s gone 5-for-13 with a double, while also racking up three home runs and eight RBI after the first week of games. He's made adjustments to his swing, and it appears to be paying dividends. “That’s part of […]

LeBron James Will Return on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will return to the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll return to the lineup here after missing last game. Rajon Rondo will head back to the bench and see reduced minutes. Kyle Kuzma will see less minutes and reduced usage here. Fantasy owners and […]

Eric Gordon is Expected to Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Rockets have been cautious with Gordon lately, but it sounds like he's actually ready to play now. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Danuel House would lose playing time if Gordon returns here. House would be the best […]

Draymond Green Could Sit Against Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was added to the injury report on Saturday with left knee soreness. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries all season long, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out here. Eric Paschall would […]

Victor Oladipo is Listed as Questionable for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wasn't on the injury report earlier, but has now popped up with a left ankle sprain. Oladipo has been having trouble staying on the court this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out […]

Andrew Wiggins is Available Against Suns

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Both Jordan Poole (ankle) and Ky Bowman (ankle) are sidelined, so Wiggins should get plenty of run here. He should be the main ball handler going forward until Stephen Curry (hand) gets back on the court. Fantasy owners can […]

Caris LeVert is Available for Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable for this one with a right hand issue, but it appears he feels good enough to play in this one. He should see plenty of run against the Heat, so DFS players should take a […]

Marcus Semien Collects Two Hits Saturday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien went 2-for-3 with two RBI in a Spring Training game against the Indians Saturday. Semien is coming off a career-year where he slashed .285/.369/.522 and finished third in AL MVP voting. He scored 123 runs last season and should score plenty again this year batting leadoff for a stacked Oakland […]

Steven Matz With Solid Spring Outing

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz pitched two strong innings on Saturday against the Astros in Grapefruit League play. Matz struck out one and allowed just one hit over two innings pitched. Matz is currently in a competition with Michael Wacha for the Mets fifth rotation spot. Matz went 11-10 with a 4.21 ERA, […]

Jordan Montgomery Strikes Out Four Over Two Innings On Saturday

New York Yankees pitcher Jordan Montgomery threw two innings against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing just one hit with four strikeouts. Montgomery has gotten his fastball velocity up to 95 mph this spring, a significant improvement from his max velocity of under 93 mph in 2018. Montgomery is a favorite to claim a job in the […]

Gleyber Torres Hits First Spring Training Home Run

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres launched his first spring training home run of 2020 with a three-run shot on Saturday. Torres followed up his strong rookie season with an impressive .278/.337/.535 slash line last year and should be an elite fantasy shortstop again in 2020. Torres improved his plate approach last season by holding his chase […]

Adam Ottavino Throws A Scoreless Inning In Spring Debut

New York Yankees reliever Adam Ottavino picked up the win against the Tigers on Saturday, tossing one inning with one walk and two strikeouts. Ottavino has been dominant over the past two seasons, with a 2.19 ERA and a 33.8% strikeout rate. Walks and stolen bases have been a problem for Ottavino, though. Over the past two […]

A seven-game slate means we have a bit more flexibility with lineup construction, but that also means our sleeper picks need to be spot-on.
