NFL DFS: The Best Value Players This Week

This week, more than most, looks to be a slate where you should roster mid-tier players. No quarterback is priced above $7,000 on DraftKings, while nearly all running backs will cost less than $8,000 (the superhuman Christian McCaffrey being the major exception). As we usually find, there are solid options […]

Hot Start for James Harden and the High-Octane Houston Rockets

Houston Rockets superstar, James Harden is averaging a career-high 39.2 points per game, helping the highest-scoring offense in the NBA generate 119.5 points per game. The addition of his old teammate, Russell Westbrook, has paid off early dividends for both Harden and the Rockets. With an 11-3 record, the Rockets […]

Target Brady White and the Memphis-Houston Game in CFB DFS

Saturday’s college football slate includes some SEC and Big 12 matchups that could be high scoring, but it’s the American Athletic Conference game between Memphis and Houston that could provide this week’s DFS bounty. I’ll be heavily targeting Memphis quarterback Brady White and his receivers, but we’ll also need some […]

Baker Mayfield & Browns Take on Steelers in Thursday Night DFS Showdown

Thursday’s night NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns seems likely to be a grind-it-out matchup, as oddsmakers have set the over/under at 40.5, and deemed the Browns a 2.5 favorite. On its face, it seems like a game that, in the DFS world, would favor running […]

Kalen Ballage will start at running back for the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Granted, it's the Dolphins, but at a $3,800 salary on DraftKings, Ballage is worth a look for a roster spot. (Image: DraftKings)

NFL DFS: Best Cheap Plays This Week

In a week in which Christian McCaffrey’s salary is a whopping $10,500 on DraftKings, we definitely have to find some value down low if we want to roster players of his caliber. As always seems to be the case, there are some good players to be had for less than […]

‘Bama and LS Who? Target SMU and Shane Buechele in DFS Instead

Saturday marks what may be the biggest game of the college football season when LSU visits Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama. Normally, the game is a slog, as those who witnessed that 9-6 LSU victory in 2011 can attest. This year may be different, however, as the over/under is 64, […]

Chargers & Philip Rivers Face Raiders in Thursday Night DFS Showdown

Thursday’s night game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Oakland Raiders is shaping up to be a hard-nosed battle between AFC rivals playing on short rest. Oddsmakers have pegged the Chargers as 1-point road favorites in a game with an over/under of 47.5. I expect the running backs to […]

NBA Super Sophomores Trae Young and Luka Doncic

Less than a week into the new NBA season, second-year players Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks) and Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) appear to have avoided the sophomore slump that often plagues top rookies, and are each leading their teams in scoring with 26-plus points per game. Doncic already posted a triple-double […]

Five NFL DFS Value Plays Under $5,000 This Week

In a week where we see Christian McCaffrey priced up to $10,000 and Dalvin Cook at $9,500 on DraftKings, we definitely need to find some sub-$5,000 DFS value plays to fill out a competitive roster. Fortunately, there are opportunities to get solid players at cheap salaries at most positions. Here’s […]

College Football DFS: UCF’s Dillon Gabriel Looks to Shine

The Saturday afternoon college football DFS slate is lacking the firepower we’re used to seeing. There is no Oklahoma or LSU on the schedule. There are also no powerhouse appearances from schools like Alabama, Clemson, or Ohio State. The lower salaries on the slate make more lineup concoctions possible, with […]

Thursday Night Showdown: Could it be a Monster Game for George Kittle?

Thursday’s night game may be a spooky one for the Arizona Cardinals as the San Francisco 49ers, their ferocious defense, and big tight end George Kittle look to scare up some big points. The 49ers are looking better and better as the season progresses, and are 7-point favorites tonight. This […]
