Week 8 was a fantasy football celebration for many owners, but was catastrophic for others from an injury perspective. In the “Tecmo Bowl in the Bayou,“ Drew Brees and Eli Manning singlehandedly won fantasy matchups. Five quarterbacks threw for 350 yards or more. Seven threw for three TDs or more. Ten wide receivers totaled 100-plus yards, and eight scored two touchdowns or more. But Le’Veon Bell, Steve…...

The RotoViz writers got together to brainstorm some under the radar players who could be difference makers during the second half. After we deleted all of the Christine Michael takes due to self-plagiarism, this is what we came up with. Dontrelle Inman, Charles Kleinheksel From the world of small sample sizes, witness what Inman was able to do in two games last year sans Keenan Allen…....

On Sunday, Dez Bryant was more decoy than Real McCoy, but I’ll stop being coy and come out and say it: It’s still pretty awesome that he’s back. Literally every single player in the NFL was injured on Sunday, and in some cases, players will have a chance to make a Dynasty Impact. Please join me in surveying the post-apocalyptic landscape; you never know what…...

While this week will be remembered for the ridiculous number of injuries to skill position players, there were still plenty of other surprises. Let’s check out a few Week 8 surprise performances and determine whether or not we should expect them to become a trend. Derek Carr – Trend The Raider’s franchise quarterback began his career as a non-factor in fantasy football. However, with the addition of Amari Cooper…...

It’s time for another Wednesday slate. Last week went well for me. If Dante Cunningham could’ve avoided clumsy ass Andrew Bogut and his stupid head in the third quarter it would’ve been an epic opening day for me, but it’s fine. Whatever. It’s not like I’ve thought about it every single day since…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership...

I had profitable Week 8 when all was all said and done. I managed to win 63 percent of my cash games on DraftKings, despite getting only about seven points from Le’Veon Bell. My DK lineup managed 155 points. This week could’ve been much better if Bell didn’t go down with injury. However, any week you profit in daily fantasy football is a good week. I dodged the…...

Last week I attempted to find a better way of identifying the best touchdown scoring running backs of 2015. Rather than group rushing attempts in large and heterogenous buckets like redzone or with the 10-yard line, I adjusted every carry for expected touchdown rate (based on historical averages at each yard line) and compared actual to expected touchdowns….

We have a nice six game slate today for NBA DFS. Unlike yesterday’s slate with a bunch of high-priced players at almost every position, there are only a few high priced guys. But there is plenty of potential value everywhere. Let’s get right into the game-by-game previews. Chicago Bulls (3-1) @ Charlotte Hornets (0-3) Total: 193 Bulls -3.5 Despite both Charlotte and Chicago being in the…...

Ryan Fitzpatrick, the New York Jets starting quarterback, tore the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of his left/non-throwing thumb during a scramble Week 8. The UCL is the ligament that stabilizes the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint of the thumb during pinching and gripping. When the UCL is torn, the MP joint becomes unstable, and the ability to grip and pinch with force is lost. This has been…...

I thought this was going to be the week I won a GPP. As you’ll see below, Week 8 was my best week by far, and I think I may be finally getting the hang of this whole DFS thing. I’m excited to present my results. Let’s dive in. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $1,405.70 This was the first week I was able to…...

Happy Monday everybody! It’s the first Monday of the season and there are seven games on the slate tonight. All thirty teams have played at least three times and it’s beginning to feel a lot like basketball season! If you’re into NBA DFS, check out the NBA Game Splits App, the On the Daily podcast, and my predictions below…. Membership Required You must be a member...

It was a somber weekend in the NFL. While Drew Brees and Eli Manning were playing Tecmo Bowl in the Bayou, injuries were mounting up around the league. We lost the best running back in the NFL (again) to an ACL tear. Matt Forte may miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain. Steve Smith had his season, and perhaps his career, ended by an Achilles tear, and there were many more…....

Here are the players I am targeting on the waiver wire after Week 8. If you’re in a deeper league, consider these trade targets instead of free agent acquisitions…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...
