Lionel Messi (DK: $12,500): Barcelona are the heaviest favorites to score at least three goals on Tuesday’s slate. With the third game in seven days for this club, we expect some changes in the XI, especially after a narrow win against Getafe and the injury to Dembele. However, Messi is a staple in any lineup, so expect him to start. Even with the changes, we expect Barcelona to be at…
MLB | Must-Haves | 9/18/17
Chris Taylor (FDraft: $6,900 DK: $3,500 FDuel: $3,200): Both Must-Haves for tonight’s slate are meant to come in at a little more value than usual, just in case players were intending to use Dodger’s ace Clayton Kershaw in any of their contests. Speaking of the Dodgers, the first Must-Have for tonight’s slate is the right handed outfielder, Chris Taylor. Taylor matches up against fellow right hander, Nick Pivetta of the…
MLB | Must-Haves | 9/16/17
Ryan Braun (FDraft: $7,600 DK: $3,800 FDuel: $3,500): The first Must-Have for tonight’s slate is a familiar face as of late in Ryan Braun. For one reason or another, the sites with dynamic pricing (DraftKings and FantasyDraft) have not increased Braun’s price with his production and he is far too cheap for his matchup tonight against Adam Conley of the Miami Marlins. Adam Conley is a left-handed pitcher that struggles…
MMA | Must-Have | 9/16/17
Justin Ledet (DK: $9,100): We feel strongly that Ledet is a Must-Have GPP play. He is not the safest play on the slate, but he has huge upside that could pay dividends in GPPs. Ledet is a high-volume striker that lands 6.72 strikes per minute, at 48% accuracy. He is facing a fighter in Anyanwu that doesn’t appear to have much technique in the striking game and purely relies on…
SOC | Must-Haves: EPL | 9/16/17
Philippe Coutinho (DK: $9,700): Our first Must-Have for the slate is Philippe Coutinho, the Brazilian attacking midfielder for Liverpool. Coutinho was by far the best player for the Reds last season, and Liverpool held on to him this offseason despite some pretty massive bids from other clubs. There is no doubting his talent, but a heavily anticipated transfer never worked out and Coutinho missed out on training, allowing Salah and…
