Blake Griffin (PF, LAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Blake Griffin (vs OKC, $8,900) Griffin's price has dropped down to earth a bit. Good. Makes it easier to scoop him up. Griffin has teetered around and has exceeded the 40 fantasy point mark in nine straight games. The Clippers against the Thunder should be a battle, a possible playoff preview, that is likely to be […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Carmelo Anthony (vs ORL, $8,400) It seems like 'Melo is finally finding his stroke. Until he proves otherwise, he is as smart of a fantasy pick as any. He has shot over 60% from the field in two of his last four games, and has been surprisingly spreading stats across the board. Normally an unlikely candidate […]

Garrett Temple (SG, WAS) and Jared Dudley (SF, WAS) - Value Stack on DraftKings 12/21

Garrett Temple (vs SAC, $4,000) Despite the revolving door of starting shooting guards in Washington since Bradley Beal went down, Temple may have now solidified his spot in the starting five with his performance Saturday night. In 35 minutes against the Hornets, Temple dropped 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. If he continues […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/21/15

It's important to not only focus on the lopsided matchups but also contests consisting of two great teams or two great players that'll likely guard each other. Anything that spells high scoring is gravitating in daily fantasy. If only every game went into multiple overtimes. Today's lineup features a point guard reclaiming fame away from […]

Kent Bazemore (SF, ATL) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/20

Kent Bazemore (at ORL, $5,700) Bazemore has been in the starting lineup the past three nights, and has been producing in his spot-starts. Thabo Sefolosha is battling a lingering ankle injury and until he's back to 100%, Bazemore will be slotted into the starting five. With Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver struggling from the field, Bazemore can swoop […]

Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) and Ryan Anderson (PF, NO) - Stack on DraftKings 12/20

Jrue Holiday (at DEN, $5,100) With Christmas only five days away, it's only fitting that Holiday is on this list. (That's the last seasonal reference, I promise) Holiday has excelled in his new role coming off the bench, and has been exceptionally valuable of late for his cheap price. Holiday has posted 30+ fantasy points […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/20

DeMarcus Cousins (at TOR, $10,200) I get it. He's really expensive, which is troublesome considering he hasn't exactly been posting 50-60+ fantasy points a night; production you want and hope for from a guy in the five digit range. But Cousins is too good to not at least consider each night. He's coming off five straight double-doubles […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/20/15

Let's just stay with the players that keep rising, those that'll soon be too hot to touch. This is more of a recent-performance-based lineup, rather than my normal matchup-based approach. It's difficult to ignore inexpensive production. Tonight's lineup features an array of affordable players, lately responsible for giving bang to the buck, and one bad, bad […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Darren McFadden, Isaiah Crowell, Rashad Jennings

The three running backs listed below head into the weekend facing three of the toughest run defenses in the NFL. All three have seen a boost in their performance and workload of late but will have a difficult time turning their boost into anything productive and consistent. Darren McFadden and the Dallas Cowboys host the surging New […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Chris Ivory, Denard Robinson, Giovani Bernard

The three running backs below all head into a favorable matchup Saturday and Sunday, and look to take advantage of defensive openings and injuries. Chris Ivory and the New York Jets head to Dallas on Saturday night, in another must-win. The Cowboys have pretty much tapped out, weeks ago, but still field one of the […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Brandon Bolden, James White

The injury bug has enjoyed sweeping through the NFL and specifically New England this season. LaGarrette Blount joins a long list of fantasy-point-producers that will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season, while Brandon Bolden and James White join another list of those with sudden increased fantasy value and emergent opportunities. Bolden will step in […]

Running Back Outlook: Bryce Brown, Christine Michael, Fred Jackson

First it was Marshawn Lynch. An injured abdomen. Likely out for the season. Then, Thomas Rawls. Rushed for over 200 yards in one game, but fractured his ankle three weeks later. Out for the season as well. DuJuan Harris was supposed to get the call, but was subsequently released by the Seahawks after a relief […]

Keshawn Martin (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Keep on the waiver wire Owned In: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The New England Patriots always find a way. Dropping two in a row, falling out of first place overall in the AFC, the Patriots rebounded last week against the Houston Texans and now find themselves back in control of obtaining a […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Flex option in PPR leagues Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Riddick has been out-carried and out-rushed by both Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah. He is actually used the least on Detroit rushing plays, but Riddick is the only Lions running back worth a look and a potential start in fantasy lineups. On the season, […]

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: FLEX-play in 12+ team PPR leagues Owned In: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Bilal Powell has suddenly become an integral part of the surging New York Jets offense. He is coming off his best two fantasy weeks and now heads into another likable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night. According to Yahoo! Sports, the […]

Fozzy Whittaker (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Jonathan Stewart and Cameron Artis-Payne Owned In: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: In relief of the rested Jonathan Stewart last week, Whittaker carried the ball eight times for 34 yards and a touchdown in a blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. With a performance like that in shortened playing time, it […]

Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Handcuff to Jonathan Stewart, stash away Owned In: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: 16-0 is definitely on everyone's mind in Carolina, but Panthers coach Ron Rivera doesn't only want to win. He wants his team to be healthy for a playoff run. According to ESPN.com, the Panthers are likely to give starting running […]

John Wall (PG, WAS) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/14

Wall has been straight fire of late. He's scored 26 points in four straight games, and has picked up three consecutive double-doubles. Wall has also dropped over 25 points in seven of his last eight games, on a Wizards team that has underachieved all season. Now with Bradley Beal set to miss an extended amount of […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/14

Gibson has been starting recently for the struggling and fantasy-performance-declining Nikola Mirotic. Simple enough, Gibson can do just what he needs to do for his price to make daily fantasy owners happy. He's more than capable of scoring in double digits or grabbing double digit rebounds. The Philadelphia 76ers let up 36 rebounds a game, […]

C.J. McCollum (SG, POR) and Al-Farouq Aminu (SF, POR) - DraftKings Stack for 12/14

C.J. McCollum (SG, POR) The team playing in the Big Easy has easily helped out daily fantasy lineups this season. New Orleans relinquishes 108.4 points a game, most in the league, 39.7 field goals a game, third most, 85.6 field goal attempts, seventh most, and own a .463 opponent field goal percentage, third highest, and a […]

Paul George (SF, IND) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/14

How do we ignore Paul George? I don't care that he's had two sub-par fantasy performances in a row. Guess what that means? His price dropped out of the five digit range. George will enter a battle showcasing two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, in what should be a close game of […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/14

In relief of the injured Emmanuel Mudiay Friday night, Nelson dropped 20 points, dished out seven assists, grabbed six rebounds and picked up two steals in 38 minutes. According to CBSSports.com, Mudiay has officially been ruled out on Monday, which means Nelson will likely once again step into the starting lineup. Nelson's Friday night performance […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/14/15

New Orleans is one of my favorite vacation spots. Unfortunately, I have fun picking on their basketball team as well. It's hard not to. Same with the Houston Rockets. Tonight's lineup features a couple of big names, either attempting to reclaim glory or continue their climb to prestige, as well as a veteran looking to […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/13/15

There are only four games on Sunday to choose from. In the lineup below, you'll see a more well-rounded team, focused more so on players in the 7,000-8,000 range. I've tried, very hard, to stay away from the 9,000-10,000 guys, to free up cap space, and fill my lineup with at least four or five […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Brandon Coleman, Marques Colston

With Brandin Cooks likely to miss Sunday's action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Willie Snead limited in practice Thursday, nursing a calf injury, two wide receivers can step up and aid Drew Brees in once again lighting up the scoreboard. This all depends on the health of Snead. If Snead plays, he will be […]

Running Back Outlooks: Jonathan Stewart, Doug Martin, Todd Gurley

Jonathan Stewart heads into a favorable matchup against an Atlanta Falcons team that gives up the most fantasy points to running backs, according to Yahoo! Sports. Stewart has carried the ball 20 or more times in eight straight weeks and has really come into his own of late, feeding off the success in Carolina. He […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller

The New Orleans Saints placed starting running back Mark Ingram on the season-ending injured reserve list Wednesday, adding more pain to an already painful 2015 campaign. The show must always go on in fantasy, though, as two Saints running backs now move up on the depth chart; C.J. Spiller and Tim Hightower. But is it […]

Fantasy Outlook: Carson Palmer, John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald

Steamrolling into Thursday night on a six game winning streak, the Arizona Cardinals look to make it seven against a tough Minnesota Vikings team. The Cardinals certainly have more viable fantasy options than the Vikings, so let's break it down. Carson Palmer's touchdown to interception ratio is incredible, 29 to 9. The veteran has thrown at […]

Fantasy Outlook: Teddy Bridgewater, Adrian Peterson, Stefon Diggs

The Minnesota Vikings enter Thursday night's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals tied for first place in the NFC North. The Vikings are looking to win their first division title since 2009 but do they have enough weapons, on the field and in fantasy lineups, to sustain production? Teddy Bridgewater is not start-able. Let's not beat around […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/7/15

It's always tempting to choose players that are facing teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers. But sometimes we have to dig a bit deeper and think about the likely chances of a blowout occurring. What happens to the starters then, those you spent seven, eight, nine thousand on, when their team […]
