Mayakoba Golf Classic DFS Picks: Can Carlos Ortiz Make History?

The PGA Tour heads to Playa del Carmen in Mexico this week for the Mayakoba Golf Classic. El Camaleon Golf Club will again host the tournament, playing at par 71 and 7,039 yards. Justin Thomas is among the top golfers leading a so-so field of 132 players, but Carlos Ortiz […]

College Football DFS: Maryland, Mississippi State Players Could Shine

It’s rivalry week (as best can happen in 2020) in college football and the DFS sites offer up a nice slate for Saturday. Teams like Ohio State, Clemson and Alabama should roll, but I’ll focus more on some expected closer shootouts like Mississippi State-Ole Miss and Maryland-Indiana. Here are two […]

Corey Davis, James White Top Week 12 NFL DFS Value Plays

The Week 12 Sunday schedule will be a little light due to the Thanksgiving slate, but we will see the return of popular DFS stacks like the Chiefs and the Cardinals after they were missing from the slate last week. If you’d like to roster Patrick Mahomes or Kyler Murray, […]

NFL DFS: Deshaun Watson, Texans Should Feast on Thanksgiving

It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without turkey, Cowboys, and Lions. This year’s Thanksgiving Day slate includes Houston at Detroit, Baltimore at Pittsburgh, and Washington at Dallas. The DFS sites priced players fairly cheaply this year, so you can plug and play almost anyone you want this Thanksgiving. Here are the players […]

College Football DFS: Kyle Trask and Florida Should Roll

Saturday’s college football DFS slate features several games with projected team totals in the 20s, which is surprising given the amount of poor defense we’ve seen this season. But, burners still exist as teams like Florida, Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State are all projected to score in the 40s. Winning […]

DraftKings Stock Soars Again After Analysts Set $100 Price Target

DraftKings stock continued to climb back toward its peak on Thursday, rising to nearly $50 a share after analysts said a likely boom in sports betting will greatly increase the profitability of the Boston-based company. The stock rose to nearly $65 a share in early October, but dropped to about […]

NFL Week 11 DFS Value Plays: Can We Trust Flacco?

Many DFS lineups flamed out last week as popular players largely put up surprisingly low fantasy points totals. That should prove an anomaly, however, and the status quo is likely to return in Week 11. Many players previously on the value list have seen their salaries increase due to solid […]

RSM Classic: 5 Golfers for Your DFS Lineups

In its post-Masters lull, the PGA Tour remains within the state of Georgia for the RSM Classic in the town of Sea Island. The event throws in a wrinkle as golfers will play one round at the par 72 Plantation course and three rounds at the par 70 Seaside course. […]

Arizona starting quarterback Grant Gunnell has a cheap DFS salary to open the season. He could provide nice value in an expected shootout against USC. (Image: Arizona Wildcats)

Don’t Sleep on Grant Gunnell and Arizona in College Football DFS

What would have been a jam-packed day slate for Week 11 of college football has been greatly reduced due to postponements or cancellations because of COVID-19 cases. On DraftKings, the 14-game slate was dropped to 10. This will provide some opportunity, however, as we can get solid players at lower […]

Mike Davis will likely resume the starter's role for the Panthers after lead back Christian McCaffrey suffered another injury. (Image: The Lines)

NFL Week 10 Value Plays: Mike Davis a Must-Play

Week 10 of the NFL season will see an 11-game slate on DraftKings, with big names like Kyler Murray and Alvin Kamara at the top of the salary lists. As usual, if you want to play those games, you’ll need to find value at the spots lower on the chart. […]

Johnson, DeChambeau Could Rule DFS Leaderboards at the Masters

Yes, it’s odd, but it’s November and Masters week is upon us. While we will be treated to more fall foliage than blooming azaleas, the field will remain the same as it would have been in April, which means we should see a good mix of young stars and long-in-the-tooth […]

Jarret Doege Could Rule College Football DFS this Saturday

We enjoy another big college football DFS slate on Saturday, with 13 games on DraftKings. As players seem to be finally re-learning how to tackle, the over/unders are dropping a bit. In a return to 2019 form, I’ll focus most of this week’s picks on the Big 12. Here are […]

Rookie Jake Luton will get the start in Week 9 for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He could be a good salary saver in DFS. (Image: Reinhold Matay USA Today)

NFL Week 9 DFS Value Plays: Jake Luton at QB, Marvin Hall at WR

The Week 9 main slate will feature 11 games and the return of Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. Whether or not he’s worth paying up for this week is debatable, but if you want to spend the cash on him or, say, Vikings running back Dalvin Cook […]

Houston Open DFS: Tony Finau Worth the Price

The PGA Tour heads to Memorial Park Golf Course for the Vivant Houston Open this week, a unique venue that features five par 5s and five par 3s — all of which could have major implications for DFS scoring. Dustin Johnson is returning after recovering from COVID-19, and the world’s […]

College Football DFS: Can TJ Finley Do it Again Versus Auburn?

We’re entering Week 9 of the college football season, and are just now finally getting some Big 10 games on the DFS slate. Thanks, COVID-19. But, better late than never as DraftKings is offering a whopping 13 games (which would have been 14 before the cancelation of the Nebraska-Wisconsin game) […]

AJ Green has finally started getting lots of targets the past two weeks, but his Week 8 salary remains cheap. (Image: MSN)

Week 8 NFL DFS: Look to AJ Green, Marquez Callaway for Value

Devante Adams and Tyler Lockett blew up the Week 7 NFL slate in DFS last week, combining for nearly 100 points on DraftKings. Hopefully, if you took some of the value plays touted here last week, you were able to afford some of those higher-priced receivers. Those two are among […]

Bermuda Championship DFS Picks: Zalatoris Rules

This week’s Bermuda Championship, at the 6,828-yard, par-71 Port Royal Golf Club in Southampton, Bermuda, will feature 130 golfers, with the top 65 and ties making the cut. Brendon Todd won last year, but hasn’t exactly been smoking the tour lately. The Masters looms, so most of the world’s best […]
