FantasyDraft NFL: Week 13 Picks
Now that Thanksgiving is over, the playoffs become the main focus in the NFL and that’s exactly where I’m turning with my quarterback. The Chargers are one of the hottest teams in the league and the Browns still haven’t won a game. With a quarterback like Jared Goff ($13,500) at an unusually high price in a tough spot at Arizona, I’ll go with one in a good matchup for a team that needs to reel… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 12 Picks
Daily fantasy has made Thanksgiving even more fun in recent years in that you can play DFS solely on Thursday with three games on the slate. Because of that, there are even more players to go through so let’s look at the matchups for both Thanksgiving Day and Sunday football. The game I’m trying to stay away from is Lions-Vikings for a few reasons. The Lions won this game 14-7 in Minnesota back… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 11 Picks
Things are almost back to normal in the NFL with only one bye week remaining. And with the Colts, Jets, Panthers and 49ers the only teams on break this week, not many players will be missed, although the diehard Josh McCown fans think otherwise. The options are aplenty, but I’m still going with a fairly cheap option at quarterback. QUARTERBACK Alex Smith, KC at NYG ($12,100): After C.J. Beathard… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 9 Picks
Once again, six teams are on bye making the options more sparse than usual, especially with top guys like Melvin Gordon and Le’Veon Bell getting a break. And while the sieve-like defenses of the Browns and Patriots are on bye, there are still a few matchups to pounce on. That includes Cam Newton against the Falcons, but I’ll pass on him this time for a different quarterback that struggled last… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Friday Picks
With six teams on bye, the routes to success are less than they’ve been at any point this season. To help in the matter, only one of those bye teams has a bad defense and the Titans still aren’t among the worst. That means Week 8 has a lot of favorable matchups even if there aren’t as many games. Exploiting bad matchups is your No. 1 goal in daily fantasy and that’s where I went with my… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 7 Picks
From a general and fantasy perspective, this isn’t my favorite week. Outside of the night games, there aren’t any matchups that catch the eye. For fantasy purposes, only one game (ATL at NE) opened with an over/under above 49 points. That being the case, it may be best to focus on guys with high floors instead of the boom-or-bust type. That means players that you know are going to get touches no… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 6 Picks
Last week supported the trend that using cheaper quarterbacks is the best route to go in daily fantasy. My pick of Dak Prescott led plenty of teams to the top, while others went with cheaper guys like Deshaun Watson, Brian Hoyer or Jacoby Brissett -- and they all produced more than Aaron Rodgers, who was a couple thousand more than every other quarterback. With yet another set of quarterbacks I… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 5 Picks
While Andy Dalton hit for me last week, it probably didn’t matter if you didn’t have big names like Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette and DeAndre Hopkins. Without at least one of those three, you likely finished outside of the money. While it’s important to find those big names, it’s also important to not select guys that get severe injuries. I recommended both Dalvin Cook and Chris Carson and… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 4 Picks
Week 3 may have been the most boom-or-bust week I’ve seen in DFS with loads of lesser-used players (Stefon Diggs, Jordan Howard, T.Y. Hilton) going off, while heavily-used ones were stuck in the mud (anyone on the Raiders, Jay Ajayi, Travis Kelce). The goal in daily fantasy is to not get stuck in the mud and that’s what I ran into with Ajayi and Michael Crabtree last week. It may also have been… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 3 Picks
QUARTERBACK Kirk Cousins, WAS vs. OAK ($11,400): I wasn’t a big Cousins fan entering the season (in terms of fantasy) and I’m still not, but there are reasons to like him at this price. For starters, he gets a secondary that hasn’t been fully challenged yet. The Raiders faced a work-in-progress offense led by Marcus Mariota and then let Josh McCown have a fairly successful game last week. After… → Read More
FantasyDraft NFL: Week 2 Picks
The first week of NFL DFS was fairly straightforward. If you went with safe players you knew were going to get touches, it likely resulted in success. Of course, you probably didn't win a big contest without the help of Kareem Hunt. With more knowledge about which players touch the ball the most, we can take a few more risks as the season moves along. After a solid week using two running backs… → Read More
Yahoo DFS Baseball: Monday Picks
PITCHER Carlos Martinez, STL at MIA ($41): Martinez has been just as good as anyone priced above him Monday with Jacob deGrom ($49) at the top of the list. Through six starts, Martinez has a 3.35 xFIP, but more importantly a 27.0 percent K rate, which is a few points better than his career number (22.8 percent). Hes coming off a game in which he held Milwaukee scoreless and now gets the Marlins… → Read More
