Phillip Adams, a former NFL cornerback who was accused of shooting six people to death before killing himself in April, had “unusually severe” chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease associated with head trauma and concussions.  The results of Adams’ brain examination were announced Tuesday by Dr. Anne McKee, a neuropathologist who serves as director of Boston University’s CTE Center. She compared Adams’ brain to the brain of Aaron Hernandez, the former New… Source link

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

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

There’s one word to describe what happened with the mostly surprising results of Week 9 in the NFL: Brutal. After rolling of late with our game picks and predictions against the spread, Vegas put up a few traps and it was hard to avoid falling into all of them. At first glance, the numbers for Week 10 seem a little more normal and manageable, but there are several more essential “pick ’em” matchups on the slate with slight favorites on one side. There are 14 more chances to get things… Source link

Week 9 of the 2021 Fantasy Football season is here, and our analysts have revealed whom they would choose in their Yahoo Daily Fantasy lineups this week using a budget of $200. The ultimate goal: To build the perfect lineup. Many of our analysts are seeking other services of Austin Ekeler in Week 9, ahead of a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. There’s also quite the variety at tight end, wide receiver and quarterback this week, as bye weeks and injuries continue to play a part in… 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
