FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/28/15

We certainly had some duds yesterday. The Blue Jays, Angels, Dodgers, and Pirates all disappointed in the runs category. However, our pitching was pretty good overall, so hopefully you had that one key batter that pushed you into cashing territory. It was the most exciting day of baseball, but if it was a successful one, […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/27/15

Well, I knew it was coming. As hot as I was last week and the week before, the cold streak has hit hard. I withdrew some money from my FanDuel account, and since then I have lost 25% of my remaining bankroll. Well, I guess that’s what this game is about. We have a little […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/21/15

We have another full slate on Friday, August 21st, and once again the Cubs will play an afternoon game, eliminating them from my analysis. They will take on the Braves at Wrigley Field at 4:05. As far as the rest of the field, we have plenty of top pitching options to choose from, and I’ll […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/20/15

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for the fullest and normal-est Thursday slate you’ve ever read about. Yes, it’s true; Thursday, August 19th has zero afternoon games and 11 night games. That’s right! It’s Friday, only a little smaller. It doesn’t get much better than that. As for me, I’ve completely taken out cash games in […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/14/15

Even when the Cubs aren’t at home their messing up DFS slates everywhere. The two Chicago teams will clash at 4:10 on Friday, August 14th, thus eliminating them from the “main slate” today. That gives us 14 games to look at, and we have a handful of pitchers from which to choose from. With that […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/13/15

Welcome to this fine Thursday, August 13th. If you follow me on Twitter (which you really should by now!) at @BellRoto, you’ll likely be aware of my awesome Monday night in which I was a base hit away from conquering my first tournament. It was a very small tournament in which the winner took home […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/7/15

If you haven’t updated your FanDuel app yet, do it! They’ve finally caught up with the times and added DL, starting or not starting, and lineup position next to players’ names in the lineup building page. This makes our jobs as DFS players much easier. Friday’s slate is much better for pitching than Thursday’s slate. […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/6/15

With football season quickly approaching, a lot of would-be amateur MLB DFS players are starting to fall off the wagon. From an opposing viewpoint, those year-long fantasy baseball players who have fallen out of contention in their leagues might be picking up DFS now. So maybe this paragraph isn’t really serving a purpose or proving […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/31/15

Ugh. Thursday was no fun for DFS. Pitchers got shelled, hitters with supposedly good splits did nothing (while lefties bombed lefties), and stacks faltered brutally. Not to mention the Pirates got blown out. We’ll chalk that one up as a loss, moving forward as quickly as possible. Friday, July 31st is deadline day! We have […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/30/15

If it weren’t for Jon Lester’s gem of a start yesterday afternoon, Justin Verlander and company might have grabbed me my first GPP takedown. I still came out near the top, finishing with one lineup tripling my money and one lineup multiplying my investment by seven. So, it was a good day overall. Thursday, July […]

Kyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as High-End TE2 Current ADP: 165 STD, 147 PPR ANALYSIS: Although Minnesota is still looking for everything to come together for the injury-prone Kyle Rudolph, the immense size and upside are still there. Rudolph is 6’6” and 260 lbs-- making him a terrifying red zone threat. Between his foot injury […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/24/15

Holy pitching, Batman! As DFS analysts and players, it’s always interesting to find a slate that gives too few or too many viable options. In Friday, July 24th’s case, the options are plentiful. On a day like today, you have to weigh a few variables when selecting your go-to guy, especially because we only get […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/23/15

Well, it’s the second half of the season, and I’ve officially moved on from my “I want to cash” ways. Screw getting three times what I put in, I want to win some triple digit cash payouts! I’m still working on how exactly I should go about doing that, but I think a lot of […]

Can Vikings Tight End Kyle Rudolph Be Your Sleeper TE in 2015?

In most fantasy football leagues, managers only need to draft one tight end. Something tells me I’m going to struggle when deciding which one to target. Since writing a recent article on Travis Kelce and how he should continue to improve this year, I’ve found that I’m also in love with Kyle Rudolph. Not only […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/17/15

Put away the novels, stop binging on Netflix, cut back on that productivity you’ve been showing at work, and warn your families. Baseball is back! We have about 12 more weeks of playoff-race baseball before the summer ends and football takes over. Let’s make the most of the rest of this season. Click here to […]

Travis Kelce (TE, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as TE1 CURRENT ADP: 54 STD, 49 PPR ANALYSIS: Travis Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, but his opportunity for Gronk-like targets is increasing, as well. In 2014, Kelce reeled in 67 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns, despite a slow […]

Why Travis Kelce Will Be The Next Great Fantasy Tight End

Those who were big into fantasy football analysis this time last year heard far-off whispers that Travis Kelce might be the next big tight end to make a fantasy impact. This year, those whispers have turned into full-on roars from the tops of tall buildings. Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/10/15

Hey RotoBallers! This is my last FanDuel advice piece until the All-Star break, so here comes my shameless plug. Be on the lookout for a longer article that I’m going to write reflecting on the first half of the year. It will include lessons I’ve learned, strategies to go by, and plans for the second […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/9/15

I have a lack of entertainment in my intro today. Maybe I'll make up for it tomorrow, we'll see. For all of you that are still standing in the FanDuel free entry Survivor tournament (which hopefully is none of you since I'm giving away all of my thoughts), best of luck. Three more rounds until […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/3/15

I’m writing this draft prior to Scherzer pitching on Thursday, so if I’m burying the lead by saying that all of Thursday’s starters who returned from the DL (Jose Fernandez, Matt Cain, and Matt Moore) pitched pretty well overall. There are not meltdowns to reports. And yes, Fernandez might actually hit in the three spot […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 7/2/15

Happy #JoseDay everyone! Jose Fernandez long-awaited debut will be Thursday, and although I think it’s a little over-the-top to make a player’s start a national holiday, it does have a better ring than Harvey Day. The Marlins’ front office is just as excited as the fans are about this money-making return of what should be […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/26/15

Well, I’m sorry for those of you who went with Gerrit Cole last night. It hurts me to say that I felt an outing like that coming, especially because I’m a Pirates fan. The good news, however, is that outing is out of the way, and he can go ahead and continue being successful from […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/25/15

I was on a roll this past week. I’ve been cashing in tournaments and winning my head-to-heads (you can find me @BellRoto on Twitter and FanDuel and challenge me to a game). Then, Tuesday night hit. I missed with the majority of my hitters, and of course it was on a night when I felt great about […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/19/15

Now that the league-wide interleague play is over, we can get back to some “regular” baseball. No worries about DH or no DH. No two-game series’. Every team has a nice three-game tilt to end the week. I’m hoping to keep my success going, and hopefully this article can help you do the same. Friday, […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/18/15

I just recently had my most successful overall MLB FanDuel night. I only profited about eight bucks, simply because my bankroll is a little low right now, but it was cool to see all three of my lineups cash in tournaments. I took Wednesday night off, as I had to work two hours prior to […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/12/15

Well, the losing streak continued. I changed my mind from Edinson Volquez to Trevor Bauer at the last minute thanks to the positive weather update. I really wish I hadn’t done that. Oh well. It’s time to win some bankroll back on Friday. Friday night slates are fun. We do have one afternoon game on […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/11/15

Daily fantasy sports can be extremely frustrating sometimes. As of Wednesday afternoon, I’ve missed cashing in tournaments by less than two points in each of the last two nights. Alcides Escobar was a dud with -1 points on Tuesday, and Corey Kluber and Dallas Keuchel burned me on Wednesday. It’s such a disappointment knowing that […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 6/5/2015

It’s very challenging sometimes to make the transition from Thursday’s slate to Friday’s slate. On Thursday, your selection of games is limited, especially if you don’t include any afternoon games. Fast forward one day, and usually every team is playing a late game (like this Friday). It’s a challenge trying to find the right players […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/4/15

Don’t look now, but I’m starting to get on a roll on FanDuel. I’ve cashed in small tournaments the past two nights (I’m writing this before the end of Wednesday’s games, but I’m in good shape if Miguel Gonzalez can get a win), and I’ve been doing well in head-to-head games if you don’t include […]
