The Saturday night DFS slate is small, but mighty. Miami-Florida State and Alabama-Missouri should offer plenty of high-scoring DFS totals, but other games offer players with sneaky good values for low salaries. Consider these six players for your rosters this week. Quarterbacks  D’Eriq King, Miami ($8,700 on DraftKings, $10,200 on […]
The New York Jets and New York Giants are bad enough, but the last thing they need is a lingering NFL conspiracy theory about the shoddy new turf installed at MetLife Stadium. The San Francisco 49ers aren’t thrilled to be playing the Jets and Giants in consecutive weeks at MetLife […]
We can roster the Jets’ QB Sam Darnold for $5,000 on DraftKings this week, but I’ll say no thanks to that. Instead – like we did last week – we’ll focus on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for our under $5K DFS value plays. Josh Kelley, Chargers RB […]

Bob Baffert is sending three of the five starters out for Saturday’s Grade 2 Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita Park, but make no mistake as to which Baffert bears attention: precocious Princess Noor. The Chandelier is one of seven stakes on Santa Anita’s packed Saturday card. It sends the five […]

The LA Chargers team doctor might want to make sure his malpractice insurance is paid up after puncturing starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s lung on Sunday.

After winning the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, the LA Lakers lost Game 3 to the Denver Nuggets thanks to some sharpshooting heroics from Jamal Murray. The Nuggets would love to even the series at 2-2, but they won’t panic if they happen to fall behind 3-1. […]
The SEC returns to play this Saturday, but for DFS purposes on the day slate, I’ll mostly focus on the Big 12. Oddsmakers predict big scores from teams like Oklahoma and Texas, so we want to draft several players from these squads. Quarterbacks Sam Ehlinger, Texas ($8,900 on DK, $10,800 […]
