Last week was an unusual one for daily fantasy football, but that’s in the rearview mirror. Time to look toward and build the best Week 4 Yahoo DFS tournament lineups. Because of the boom-or-bust nature that often accompanies at least a few GPP picks, we have a play at wide receiver that might shock you, but hey, no risk it, no biscuit. Christian McCaffrey’s hamstring injury on Thursday night set the tone for a painful Week 3 that saw several more players lost… Source link

It’s on to Week 3, where football fans and daily fantasy football players will be treated to fresh storylines and some tasty matchups. Our Week 3 Yahoo DFS picks include a quarterback making his first start paired with his top wide receiver, an expensive running back, and some bargains at WR who are poised to pay off. One thing we won’t be treated to is access to Christian McCaffrey. The Panthers play the Texans on Thursday night, so he’s off the main slate…. Source link

Week 1 is in the books, and whether the first dose of action was kind or cruel to you in daily fantasy football, it’s time to regroup and eye the Week 2 NFL DFS slate. There’s still enough perceived value available to entice us to invest in some big-ticket players in our Yahoo DFS tournament lineup. Speaking of which, we’re relying on a wild card – or two, depending on your perspective — in this lineup, but we like the assumption of risk in relation to the… Source link

The NBA season doesn’t get underway until October 19, but if you’re itching to draft, you can take full advantage of Yahoo’s fantasy basketball ADP. Because player values have yet to catch up with general consensus and available data, there are plenty of guys who are being highly overvalued and many more who are being slept on. In this piece, I’m going to highlight players from each of the top-10 rounds who are values or fades at current ADP. I’ll close the article… Source link

Consider your daily fantasy football advice needs taken care of this week with our weekly lineup picks. Our Week 1 Yahoo DFS tournament lineup should get us off to a good start, as we’re loading up at RB and mining for value with our WRs. You might scoff at our trio of reasonably priced wide receivers, but while this unit lacks a “sexy” household name, each is positioned to be heavily utilized in his team’s respective offense — perhaps even function as the WR1 this week….

Have you ever eaten food out of a dented can? It doesn’t taste dented – honest! It tastes like undented food! (I could go for an undented sandwich right now.) There’s just something about that dent that turns people off. It is tough to stack dented cans, and a sharp dent might allow bacteria in – or what I call, “flavor!” – but still, people should see there’s value in DCF (dented can food)! This article series is meant to point out some dented-can discounted players… Source link

USATSI This year more than ever, ADP appears to be fractured depending on which site you draft on. Some of that has to do with the standard scoring system. CBS probably has more non-PPR drafts than anyone else, even if a majority of our leagues reward at least 0.5 PPR…. Source link

Los Angeles Chargers dual-threat running back Austin Ekeler is partnering with Yahoo Sports this … [+] season. (Photo by Nick Tre. Smith/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Austin Ekeler became a household name—especially to fantasy football enthusiasts—during the 2019 NFL season as Los Angeles Chargers starting running back Melvin Gordon continued his holdout in the hopes of securing a new contract. Even after Gordon made his season debut in… Source link

  One of the best things on FantasyPros is the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). Fantasy Football rankings are subjective, and as such, they vary from site to site and expert to expert. So as you are doing your pre-draft preparation, it is good to get as many opinions as possible, hence the value of the ECR. Once draft day comes and you are in your draft room, though, you can often be swayed by the default rankings on the platform you are using. Those rankings are typically… Source link

Not all fantasy football cheat sheets, sleeper lists, and tiers are created equal. With so many experts and so many sites, it can be overwhelming to figure out the best source for overall player rankings from one year (and draft) to the next. The constantly updated consensus rankings at Fantasy Pros are a helpful composite, but chances are you will be drafting and playing a lot of fantasy football leagues on either Yahoo! or ESPN. Although Yahoo! defaults to half-point PPR and ESPN goes with… Source link
