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

Last Sunday marked another week of brutal injuries with Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) headlining the list of prominent names forced out of action. And for good measure, this is the first week of byes.  Injuries often open the door for cost-saving options in daily fantasy football, but we’re steering clear of Devontae Booker and Darrel Williams in our Week 6 Yahoo DFS lineup this week in spite of the expected increase in their usage. In… Source link

We’re back with our Week 5 Yahoo DFS tournament lineup, and as always, we’re looking to differentiate with a unique lineup. By nature, our lineup will be boom-or-bust with a low floor but huge upside. That’s how you can win big in GPPs.  There’s an extra standalone game this week, so the slate is trimmed down a little bit. The Rams, Seahawks, Jets, Falcons, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, and Colts won’t be available on DFS main slates. That’s a lot of talent… Source link

Yahooooo! There are 13 games on the Yahoo main slate that begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. This piece highlights my top overall plays, values, and best tournament plays for guaranteed prize pools (GPPs) at each position while using our Player Models. I will specifically be referencing the Bales Model. As news breaks throughout the week and we adjust our projections, player ratings in our Player Models will change. For updates, visit the models directly. Quarterbacks Top Play My top… Source link

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

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….

There’s not much that can compare to Thursday Night Football on the opening night of a new NFL season, especially when the schedule makers provide daily fantasy football players with such a juicy, star-studded matchup. The reigning Super Bowl champion Buccaneers begin their pursuit for back-to-back titles by hosting the Cowboys, who have playoff aspirations of their own. All that firepower gives us a plethora of options for our Yahoo single-game DFS lineup.  Las Vegas opened the… Source link
