It goes something like this: “Do you ever avoid Zero RB?” My answer: yes!… Membership Required...

Navigating a 12-Team Superflex Auction Draft

This past weekend was the auction draft of one of my home leagues. When strategizing for an auction, there are some steps you can take to make yourself better prepared. One is to know your league mates’ history: betting, player, and positional tendencies. The more you know your opponents’ strategies, the better you can take advantage. Having a spreadsheet of your league history is a…...

PGA DFS: DraftKings Northern Trust Chalk Pivots

It seems the populace in DFS golf land is targeting bombers. If you read my Intro/Key Stats article, you know I identified driving accuracy as a more crucial quality to have to succeed at Glen Oaks. It’s awesome when my preferred angle of attack is contrarian because then I don’t have to do too much to separate from the field…. Membership Required You must be...

From Underdog to Superpower: The Extreme Fake Punt in Dynasty

In dynasty fantasy football, strength begets success, and success begets strength. If you’re better than your league mates, you’re likely to have a good startup draft. Then you can exploit your advantage by improving your already strong team through trades with weaker, needier opponents. The cycle continues until you hit a string of bad luck or your league mates improve. That’s one of my favorite features of the game…...
