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 […]
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 […]
DraftKings Election Predictor Map Shows Sea of Red — It’s Not What You Think
Democrats expressed shock to see DraftKings post a US map on Twitter awash in a sea of red, but that portrayal doesn’t quite represent what some may think. The DSF and sportsbook operator is offering a free-play contest for its users to predict the 2020 presidential election results, handing out […]

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) […]
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 […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups: Tua, Rashard Higgins, Chase Edmonds, or Wayne Gallman
A couple of key starters were lost to injuries in Week 7, including Odell Beckham, Jr. (blown ACL) and Kenyan Drake (ankle). Fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions in Week 8 include QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Rashard Higgins, RB Chase Edmonds, RB Wayne Gallman, and TE Trey Burton. The New […]
Hendon Hooker, Chuba Hubbard Look to Have Big Days in College Football DFS
The continued offensive firepower of the Big 12, combined with a plethora of bad defense, means we can spread our college football DFS love all around this week. In fact, an ACC quarterback could be the slate breaker, and an SEC game may be the most stackable. These are the […]
NFL Week 7 DFS Value Plays: Kyle Allen, Kenyan Drake Top List
Week 7 of the NFL means we’re nearly two months into the season, a delight in the age of COVID-19. I’m pulling from four positions for this week’s value plays, and going to the Cardinals well twice in what should be a high-scoring affair against Seattle. Kyle Allen, Washington QB […]
Zozo Championship DFS: Will Jon Rahm Be Overlooked?
The PGA Tour heads to Thousand Oaks, CA, this week for the Zozo Championship at Sherwood Country Club. The par-72 course will play at a shade over 7,000 yards for the tournament. Another no-cut event, this one features 78 players. Tiger Woods famously won last year with a score of […]

If your fantasy football team is saddled with injuries, or you must bench key starters due to a bye week, we’ve pinpointed a couple of players who should be available in most FFL leagues. Consider adding Boston Scott (Philadelphia Eagles), Tim Patrick (Denver Broncos), Keelan Cole (Jacksonville Jaguars), or Dallas […]
CJ Cup DFS Picks: From Rory McIlroy to Brian Harman
In the age of COVID-19, the CJ Cup, normally played at Nine Bridges in South Korea, will take place at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas this week. Justin Thomas won the event two of the past three years, a stat that might prove irrelevant given the change of venue. Shadow […]
Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups: Chase Claypool, Travis Fulgham, or Alexander Mattison
Heading into Week 6 of the NFL season, consider these waiver wire pickups: Chase Claypool, Travis Fulgham, Andy Dalton, Alexander Mattison, or Tee Higgins. After Dak Prescott suffered a brutal, season-ending injury, fantasy football owners will scramble to find a suitable replacement like his backup, Dalton. Dalvin Cook injured his […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Try to Clean Up Mess After Live-Scoring Snafu Derails Weekend Payouts
DFS players at DraftKings and FanDuel are finally receiving payouts from the weekend contests after delays due to live scoring issues, but participants in some contests are still left waiting. DraftKings paid out all college football contests on Monday, and experienced no scoring issues in NFL games on Sunday, so […]
Live Scoring Issues Tarnish Weekend’s DFS Football Games
The weekend of football proved hair-pullingly frustrating for DFS users who couldn’t follow live scoring for their contests, and who are still waiting for payouts on Monday – up to two days after some contests ended. Neither DraftKings nor FanDuel offered live scoring for college football contests on Saturday. DraftKings […]
NFL Week 5: Best DFS Value Plays Include Kyle Allen, Damien Harris
Week 5 of the NFL season looks to be one of the most dynamic of the season for value plays under $5,000 on DraftKings. We can roster a super-cheap quarterback, running backs capable of rushing for 100 yards, and a receiver who can go off on any given week. Here […]
