It has been a part-plucky, mostly comical, rarely sincere slogan of every college football upstart of the past dozen or so years, written on signs designed to create smiles or chanted through contained laughter from student sections across the land. “We Want Bama.” Well, Cincinnati, you big-dreaming, gate-crashing, perfect regular season after perfect regular season Group of 5 underdog, congratulations on doing the seemingly impossible and actually making the College Football Playoff. Now… Source link

Twelve weeks are down and six remain in the regular season. The injury bug struck again in a big way last week, providing us with some value daily fantasy football plays to complement some higher-priced investments. We’re pairing Joe Burrow with Joe Mixon as a sneaky stack to headline our Week 13 Yahoo DFS lineup. Mixon has scored a pair of receiving touchdowns, so it’s not irresponsible to gamble on a third connection this week. Of course, we’ll mix in some… Source link

Week 12 sees Kansas City and Arizona on a bye, and Thanksgiving and the usual Sunday and Monday night games take away 10 teams from our main slate. If you’re keeping track, that leaves just 20 teams in play for our Week 12 Yahoo DFS lineups. Since we’re playing in GPP tournaments, a lot of our selections are boom-or-bust by nature. We’d rather fall flat going for big money than make “safe” picks and end up with a lineup incapable of paying off huge if things go… Source link

We’re running with a three-headed backfield as the spine of our lineup this week. Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook command a hefty chunk of salary, but there are some enticing mid-priced, high-upside players available, too. Per usual, we’re accepting the volatility that comes with an all-or-nothing GPP approach for our Week 11 Yahoo DFS lineup. Again, since we’re playing in GPP tournaments, a lot of our selections are boom-or-bust by nature. We’d rather fall… Source link

As usual, despite four teams being on bye and six teams playing in prime-time games, there’s a nice mix of top-tier studs, under-priced mid-priced values, and lower-cost sleepers at our disposal for our Week 10 Yahoo DFS lineup. Use our picks and advice to at least inform your decisions for your lineups. As always, we’re playing in GPP tournaments (rather than cash games), so we want to avoid too many obvious plays that will be heavily owned in our picks. That… Source link

We’re missing out on potential Buccaneers’ stacks with Tampa Bay on a bye, but it’s another week without too many superstars of the main DFS slate. The Jets, Colts, Titans, Rams, Bears, and Steelers have standalone games, so the Rams and one of our favorite plays, Jonathan Taylor, are off the table. We can survive without the players, as there’s still a nice mix of high-priced studs, undervalued mid-priced assets, and lower-priced steals at our disposal for… Source link

Season-long owners and daily fantasy players will be without some marquee names in Week 8, but it should be a walk in the park compared to weathering a barren Week 7 when 12 teams were off of the main slate. There’s a nice mix of high-priced studs, undervalued mid-priced assets, and lower-priced steals at our disposal for Yahoo DFS lineups this week. Our Week 8 Yahoo picks include a few star-studded names and some under-the-radar value. As always, we’re using… Source link

This may be one of the most challenging weeks for those in daily fantasy football contests and season-long owners alike. With 12 teams on bye or in standalone games, the pickings are as slim as they’ve been all season. That said, we can still take advantage of sneaky value and combine it with studs to chase a high finish in Yahoo DFS tournaments. As always, you can mirror our picks completely or use them as a mere reference point to craft a high-quality… Source link
