Jesé (DK: $5,600): Stoke City has struggled so far this season, but not because of their form at home. Stoke have only lost one game at home this season, and that was to the defending champions Chelsea. They’ve had tough games at home and have held their own against the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. This week, they have a much easier task when they play Bournemouth. Bournemouth are…
MMA | Must-Have | 10/21/17
Typically, for international events, we recommend going light or fading the card completely because of the crazy stuff that happens. However, this is a very good card from top to bottom and one that we feel we have a strong read on. It doesn’t hurt that this card will be entertaining to watch from a fan standpoint as well. Heads up though…fights occur early Saturday morning so make sure to…
NHL | Must-Haves | 10/20/17
Tomas Hertl (FDraft: $9,200 DK: $4,600 FDuel: $4,600): Hertl comes in at a nice, affordable price in a plus matchup against the New Jersey Devils, who won a 5-4 overtime game last night in Ottawa. The back-to-back means Keith Kinkaid will start, which seems like an upgrade based on 2017 stats, but is a lower-quality starting goaltender than Cory Schneider based on their career numbers. Jersey is a middling defense…
NBA | Must-Haves | 10/20/17
Devin Booker (FDraft: $13,200 DK: $7,000 FD: $6,700): Our first Must-Have of the day will be the high volume shooter from the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker. Vegas has this game projected at an O/U of 218.5, fourth highest on this 10 game slate. While the Phoenix Suns already play at a fast pace, the Lakers fast play will only ensure that this gamescript will be two teams getting up a…
CFL | Must-Haves | Week 18
Alex Green (DK: $6,500): The first Must-Have for Week 18 in the CFL is the Hamilton Tiger Cats running back Alex Green. Green has had a nice start to his CFL career over the last few weeks and is a staple in the new TiCats attack. Green has recorded games of 13, 20 and 13 carries in his first three games for 284 yards and three scores. He also has…
NFL | Spotlight: PlayLine Quarterbacks | Week 6
Last week, this spotlight article covered quarterbacks, and I think that was the most fun and the most helpful position for me to write about. It allowed me to analyze four different offenses and which players were in good spots. I also think it’s one of the most skill-based positions to predict because it’s all about yardage. Without touchdowns as a factor, you don’t get burned if the team chooses…
NFL | Spotlight: PlayLine Quarterbacks | Week 5
Last week’s running back breakdown for the PlayLine contest was a big hit, so I’ve decided to bring it back. However, this week I’m going to focus on the 1 PM Featured Quarterbacks as this contest really intrigues me. If you didn’t read last week’s article and don’t know what PlayLine is, open PlayLine.com now and make an account. Then click on the free contest titled 1 PM Featured Quarterbacks….
NFL | Spotlight: PlayLine Running Backs | Week 4
On Saturday afternoon, I ran a one hour Twitter poll asking my followers what I should write about in this spotlight. You voted for running backs, but it was an extremely close vote with 39% RBs, 35% WRs, and 26% QBs. Quarterback was below 10% until Riddick Bowe started telling people he would beat their ass if they didn’t vote for quarterback. Riddick, I’m sorry quarterback didn’t win. You are…
