NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Cook Out Southern 500

The NASCAR playoffs begin on Sunday with the Southern 500. 16 drivers will begin the competition for the title, while the rest of the field battles for strong finishes and bragging rights and all of those things. The pressure is ramping up. There's also just 10 races left in the Cup Series season, y'all! And […]

Justin Carter's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

It's time for my favorite piece to write every year -- my bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Last year's bold predictions went...okay. I hit on Leonard Fournette becoming a receiving threat and was basically correct on Josh Allen, who was almost a top-five fantasy quarterback. My Albert Wilson take, however, was something we […]

Dolphins See Lynn Bowden Jr. As Wide Receiver Option

This makes more sense. The Miami Dolphins traded for rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. on Saturday, seemingly complicating a backfield that already had Jordan Howard and Matt Breida. But reports indicate that the team believes Bowden can play wide receiver for them, a position he's played during his college career. Miami is shallow at […]

Raiders Trade Lynn Bowden Jr. To Dolphins

The Las Vegas Raiders have traded rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. and a sixth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for a fourth-round pick. Vegas is set at running back with Josh Jacobs and solid backups like Jalen Richard and Devontae Booker, while the Dolphins have spent the past few seasons struggling with their running […]

Deebo Samuel Activated From Non-Football Injury List

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) is being activated off the Non-Football Injury list, which would make him eligible to play in Week 1. There had been questions all offseason about how long it would be before Samuel was healthy and able to return to the field, and while he might not be […]

Keenan Allen Agrees To Extension

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has agreed to a four-year extension worth over $80 million. The veteran receiver is set to be quarterback Tyrod Taylor's top option this year and then rookie quarterback Justin Herbert's top option for the next three seasons after this one. Allen remains one of the NFL's most consistent […]

49ers Waive Jauan Jennings

The San Francisco 49ers have waived seventh-round pick Jauan Jennings, a wide receiver out of Tennessee. Jennings was expected to compete for a roster spot on a team that lacks a standout wide receiver outside of Deebo Samuel, but now it looks like he'll be heading for a practice squad spot unless another team decides […]

Rodrigo Blankenship Wins Colts Kicker Job

Rookie kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has beaten out Chase McLaughlin in the competition to be the kicker for the Indianapolis Colts. McLaughlin reportedly had a strong camp, but Blankenship's college resume helped him win the role, leading to the team releasing McLaughlin. Blankenship was a career 82.5 percent kicker in college and made all 200 of […]

Chiefs Release DeAndre Washington

The Kansas City Chiefs have released running back DeAndre Washington. A former college teammate of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Washington wasn't able to impress enough in camp to earn a spot in a backfield that has a lot of question marks behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Darrel Williams enters 2020 as the primary backup here and is […]

Panthers Waive Reggie Bonnafon

The Carolina Panthers have waived running back Reggie Bonnafon. Expected by many to serve as the insurance policy for starter Christian McCaffrey, it looks like that role now belongs to Mike Davis. Because of the oversized role McCaffrey plays, there's no fantasy football value in this backfield as long as he's healthy, but Davis now […]

Patriots Release Lamar Miller

The New England Patriots have released running back Lamar Miller, ending his tenure in New England before he played a single regular season game. Miller was coming off a torn ACL last preseason. Miller's an interesting free agent if he's fully recovered from the injury, as he rushed for 973 yards in 2018 with the […]

Falcons Release Laquon Treadwell

The Atlanta Falcons have released wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The former first-round pick's contract with the Vikings expired at the end of last season and signed with Atlanta in March. While he's never finished a season with more than 302 receiving yards, the fifth-year pro was expected by some to rebound in Atlanta on a […]

Washington Waives Trey Quinn

In a bit of surprise news, the Washington Football Team has waived wide receiver Trey Quinn. The third-year receiver had 26 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown last year, and while some thought he might step into a larger role in the slot in a depleted receiving corps, it appears someone else will have […]

Packers Waive Dexter Williams

The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 […]

Deshaun Watson Agrees To Extension

The Houston Texans and quarterback Deshaun Watson have agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension. The deal locks Watson in as Houston's franchise quarterback for the next few seasons while also giving him a chance to earn another big contract from the team in the future. Houston spent their offseason making some head-scratching moves with […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/5/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Jewell Loyd! After getting left off a list of former Notre Dame players who are succeeding in the WNBA by her former head coach at Notre Dame, Loyd might have been playing Friday night with a little bit of a chip on her shoulder. And after hitting a buzzer beater three to win the game […]

Josh Rosen Released By Miami

The Miami Dolphins have released quarterback Josh Rosen, which means that if Rosen is on an NFL roster this year, it'll be the third team in three years for the 2018 first-round pick. It's been a sharp fall for Rosen, who has completed just 54.8 percent of his passes in his two seasons, with 12 […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Darlington Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200 (9/5/20)

Ahh, Darington. The Lady in Black. The Track Too Tough to Tame. The...idk, there's probably a third nickname that I just don't know. Anyway, the Xfinity Series is at Darlington on Saturday and this is either going to be a chalky race that everyone hates or the opposite, with it all hinging on Denny Hamlin. […]

Ryquell Armstead Placed On COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed running back Ryquell Armstead on the COVID-19 list. He won't be allowed to practice or play until he's cleared to return from the list, throwing a big wrench into the "Armstead will be the lead back in Jacksonville" discussion. With Leonard Fournette now in Tampa, an extended absence for Armstead […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/4/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Three more games on the WNBA docket tonight. Storm and Sparks as the nightcap has to be the big highlight game, with two of the league's best teams facing off. Seattle won when the teams faced last month, but Los Angeles is hot right now, winning 10 of their last 11 games. In this article, […]

Buccaneers Waive Matt Gay

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have waived kicker Matt Gay. Gay was a top fantasy option at the position last year, connecting on 27 field goals and 43 extra points, and was being drafted like a top kicker heading into 2020. But struggles in camp led to Ryan Succop supplanting him for the job. Succop has […]

Buccaneers Waive Dare Ogunbowale

In the wake of the team's signing of Leonard Fournette, it was clear that some other move was going to happen in this Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield. On Friday, that move happened, as Tampa waived running back Dare Ogunbowale, who led the team's running backs in targets last year. Ogunbowale is an interesting back who […]

Adrian Peterson Released

The Washington Football Team has released veteran running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson had spent the past two seasons in Washington, totaling 1940 yards and 12 touchdowns in 31 games. Peterson's chances of landing a starting role this close to the season seem slim, especially with most contending teams already set at the position. Does a […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/3/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Y'all ever have a night where you thought you did something and then realize you forgot? That was me last night. I made my DraftKings lineup yesterday morning, had to leave my computer before putting the lineup in, and then by the time I got back to my computer, had forgotten completely that I hadn't […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/2/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, Diana Taurasi went off last night, didn't she? Apologies for not writing about her in yesterday's article. But hey, all of the players I wrote about yesterday scored 30 or more DraftKings points, so missing out on Taurasi wasn't a total bummer, right? In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA […]

Leonard Fournette Not Claimed On Waivers

Former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette cleared waivers on Tuesday, making him a free agent. While no team seemed to want Fournette at his original price tag, he should wind up somewhere before the 2020 season opens. Wherever he signs, he won't have nearly the same role that he would have had in Jacksonville, […]

Tyrell Williams Placed On Injured Reserve

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (torn labrum) has been placed on the injured reserve, ending his 2020 season before it began. Williams was a popular sleeper pick in 2019 but faded as the sent went along, but he was still poised to have a solid role this year. Now, expect rookie Bryan Edwards […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/1/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Happy September! We're now in the final month of the WNBA season somehow, even though it feels like this season just began. In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 9/1/20. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. […]

Who Will Lead the Jaguars Backfield in 2020?

Well, that was unexpected. There was a point earlier this offseason where we all collectively thought "the Jaguars could definitely move on from Leonard Fournette," but as training camp arrived and the start of the regular season approached, we let our guard down. We drafted Fournette like he was still the main back in Jacksonville […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/31/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Just two games on the WNBA slate today, as the league has rescheduled some of the games that were originally scheduled last week. The Sky take on the Fever in the early match, then the Sparks face the Lynx in the second game. For Los Angeles and Minnesota, this game comes on the second end […]
