Fantasy Football: Week 17 boom-or-bust picks

It’s the end of the road. The grand finale. The final stop. The last curtain call. This column has been really fun to write this season and I hope I helped some of you prevail in tough roster situations with my weekly shoot-the-moon picks. [Play in Yahoo’s Week 17 Million Dollar Baller DFS contest] Week 17 presents the usual injury and COVID-19 challenges, along with some players possibly being shut down early in preservation for the real NFL playoffs.

Cowboys light up Sunday Night Football

Cowboys light up Sunday Night Football

5 Things I care about Cowboys prove they’re as dangerous as anyone The Cowboys came into Week 16 with a defense that ranked No. 1 in EPA per play allowed and an offense that kept having the word “slump” attached to it. They’ll leave Week 16 with only one of those. If you told an uninformed viewer that one of the quarterbacks playing tonight had a 5:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio over the last month, they’d have never guessed it was Dak Prescott. From the opening whistle to the… Source link

Yahoo DFS Picks Week 16: NFL DFS lineup advice for daily fantasy football GPP tournaments

Season-long leagues are winding down — some may even have crowned their champion — but fantasy owners who need their fix can turn to daily fantasy football moving forward. We’re headed into Week 16 which means there are three more main slates remaining in 2021.

Eagles roll over COVID-depleted Washington Football Team

The Washington Football Team made the most of a wild early break en route to a 10-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday.  But as the game wore on, a roster beset by COVID-19 couldn’t keep pace as the Eagles secured a 27-17 win to improve to 7-7 and gain a leg up on their NFC East rivals in the conference wild-card race. After digging the early double-digit deficit, the Eagles controlled the ball and the scoreboard en route to 20 unanswered points. Washington answered with a late… Source link

Yahoo DFS Picks Week 15: NFL DFS lineup advice for daily fantasy football GPP tournaments

Paying up at the quarterback position isn’t a move we go out of our way to make very often. However, Kyler Murray has as much upside as anyone at the quarterback position, and we can include him in our Week 15 Yahoo DFS tournament picks without sacrificing elsewhere. Since we’re playing in GPP tournaments, we’ll have our fair share of guys with low floors and high ceilings, but that’s part of it. We’re also calling on a few chalky DFS plays, but we’ll have… Source link

Yahoo DFS Picks Week 14: NFL DFS lineup advice for daily fantasy football GPP tournaments

The head of the snake for our Week 14 Yahoo DFS tournament lineup is Taysom Hill, who reminded us how quickly he can turn a poor game in real life into a worthwhile fantasy performance. He’s complemented by what we feel is a strong group of skill position players that offer high ceilings without presenting too much of the “all-or-nothing” type of risk we’ll often assume with our picks when chasing for GPP success. This might be one of our more chalky DFS… Source link
