A Guide to RB Handcuffs: Which Backfields Provide the Most Value?

With redraft season officially upon us, it is important to know how to insure your high-value investment at the running back position. With any insurance policy, it is of the utmost importance to know both the cost and the payout should that policy need to be cashed in. At their most basic level, RB handcuffs are just insurance policies, and like any other purchase, it…...

UFC 241: Full Breakdown

For me personally, as a lifelong Clevelander, this is the card of the year. We get to see a wrong righted and see the greatest heavyweight of all time get his belt back.  My hometown loyalties and fandom aside, the rest of the card is really fun as well, and simply put, I can’t wait for Saturday. There are a lot of very live underdogs. As

UFC On ESPN+14 in Uruguay: Full Breakdown

As far as fight night cards go, we get the normal dose of new fighters but we also get some fun matchups, and what oddsmakers believe will be a card with a lot of finishes. We also get a full 13 fights, which should be the norm, but hasn’t been of late.  As always, cash, single entry, picks, bets and other thoughts will be updated

UFC On ESPN5 in Newark: Complete Breakdown

Welcome back for a fun network fight night card. Our main event has huge ramifications at the top of the welterweight division. Outside of that we have mostly fun matchups. We have a silly six orthodox versus southpaw matchups which typically lends more power and less volume so be aware of those fights.  Again, this is the second of two weeks that have me working

UFC 240: Complete Breakdown

Whew, wyd UFC? For a pay per view card, this one was pretty haphazardly thrown together and one would have to assume Dana was happy to make a couple bucks and get Frankie Edgar one last decent pay day. We only have 12 fights which is becoming more normal in general, but not for a PPV card.  I am apologizing in advance as I have

UFC on ESPN 4 in San Antonio

The promotion has done an excellent job of setting up a lot of tight matchups for the main network card here. Ten of 13 fights have a favorite at lower than 2-1 odds and there are very live dogs. We have three heavyweight fights on the card that are all projected by Vegas to end inside the distance, two of which at greater than five

UFC On ESPN+13 in Sacramento: Full Breakdown

This card offers zero in terms of star power, but there are highly intriguing underdogs. It should make for a fun DFS and betting experience. It’s yet another card of only 12, rather than 13, fights, which makes tournaments less fun, but there is still plenty to attack. As always, tourney exposure is listed with fight breakdowns. Cash and single-entry plays along with picks and

UFC 239: Complete Breakdown

As always, we get a massive card for International Fight Week, and additionally the largest DraftKings MMA tournament ever offered. What we did not get however, are fights with tight betting lines. The smallest favorite on the entire fight card is better than two to one and getting underdog winners and/or high scorers in losses will be a massive key in tournaments. As always, tournament

UFC on ESPN3 in Minneapolis: Full Breakdown

The third installment of the cable fight night comes to Minneapolis on Saturday. The UFC is showcasing a mixture of vets and up-and-comers including a No. 1 contender eliminator for the next crack at the heavyweight title in the main event. The card doesn’t offer a whole lot in terms of attractiveness for underdogs as nine of the 13 fights have a favorite between -235

UFC on ESPN+ 12 in Greenville: Full Breakdown

This week kicks off a streak of nine consecutive weeks of UFC, with some incredibly exciting cards in that span, but … well, this ain’t one of ’em. At least not from a star power perspective. There’s just not a whole lot to attract casual fans without gambling interests here. This is the worst card we will see in quite awhile in terms of star

The Dolphins Offense Is Mispriced In All Formats

It’s no secret the Miami Dolphins are a rebuilding franchise. They’re not coy about it, and everyone knows it. As such and evidenced by ADP, it would appear the community’s expected offensive output is exclusively draw plays and kneel downs, and for the team to concede each game before it’s played. Needless to say, there is exploitability here. I’m going to walk through the pricing…...

UFC 238: Full Breakdown

What a stacked card. This is as good as prelims get and I’m very excited for Saturday. Tournament thoughts are listed in each fight’s breakdown while there will be separate sections for cash/single entry and another for bets.

Rapid Reaction: Third Round Opportunity Outlook

  What a crazy ride Day 2 of the draft was. I’m exhausted from excitement. The landing spots attained by the high end skill position players in this class is going to make this draft class a force for years to come. The third round will have a more abbreviated version on each player. Round 1 is available here. Round 2 is available here. Diontae…...

Rapid Reaction: Second Round Opportunity Outlook

  Glad to be back again to sift through the opportunity each player drafted tonight will likely see. We will have a lot more fantasy breakdowns Friday than Saturday, so diving right on in. The first round breakdown is available here. Deebo Samuel 36th overall, San Francisco 49ers Here’s how I viewed the opportunity as 2018 ended: 2018 WRs Dante Pettis – Signed through 2021…...

Rapid Reaction: First Round Opportunity Outlook

  As far as first rounds go from a fantasy perspective, no need to sugar coat it, this was a snoozer for the first half of it. We knew going in the back third of the round was where we were most likely to see some fantasy football related fireworks, but we just got a snap and crackle, lacking pop. We only saw five skill…...

2019 Rookie WR Tournament: DK Metcalf vs Keesean Johnson

In the first round of the 2019 Rotoviz Rookie WR Tournament, second-seeded D.K. Metcalf faces off with 15 seed KeeSean Johnson.

UFC on ESPN 2 in Philadelphia Complete Breakdown

We get a step up this week from the previous weeks’ Fight Night cards and nearly the entirety of this card offers something to anticipate. The main event will be fireworks and offers an automatic cash stack and one that will almost certainly be the last piece for the optimal lineup in tournaments. There are at least five more fights that should have us glued

UFC on ESPN+ 6 in Nashville: Full Breakdown

We’re a fight short this week as we enter with only 12 fights scheduled prior to weigh-ins. This card has a mixed bag of newcomers and vets, and some intriguing stylistic matchups. There are a couple candidates to be snoozers, but it should be worth the time to sit down and watch…....

UFC on ESPN+ 5 in London: Complete Breakdown

Much like last week, we get a fight night card without household names, but this one carries a bit more star power, and on average is bringing higher level fighters. Higher level generally means more predictive. Much like last week, we have a slew of tight betting lines with the largest being -310 and only three more cracking the -200 mark…....
