Let’s discuss some players to consider for Yahoo’s single-game contest Tuesday. In addition to selecting two flex players, there are three multiplier positions in this single-game format.

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. A 10-gamer awaits Monday’s main contest, with a typical 7:05 p.m EDT first pitch. The elephant in the room will be whether you’re paying up for Gerrit Cole ($54) or not. He’s $10 more than any other arm, the Yankees are huge favorites (-300) and he’s in terrific form against the always targetable Orioles. We’ll omit him from the breakdown, as he’s a clearly obvious choice if you can afford it. Pitching With Cole out of our… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Basketball series. Only two games on Sunday, but both are Game 7s. These are some of the best slates to play because the rotations are more predictable than ever. The studs get all the run and all the usage they can handle, and it will force you into a stars-and-scrubs build. Our recommendations will play out that way, so let’s get started with one of the playoffs’ most exciting players…  Guards Luka Doncic, DAL at PHX ($56) You can’t fade Luka… Source link

We have three Game 7s on Saturday, which is super exciting. That also means some DFS opportunities as well. The first game is at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Mike Smith, EDM vs. LOS ($37): Smith remains my process-of-elimination choice in net. Antti Raanta is a backup being forced to start. Jonathan Quick and Jeremy Swayman are on the road against top-10 offenses. Tampa and Toronto have been piling up the goals. As such, give me Smith at… Source link

Just as a hockey fan, I love the fact that Sunday’s four Game 4s feature no chances of a sweep. Since the first game is at 12:30 p.m. ET, you’ll have to have your lineup in early. But once you take care of that, you can get to that Mother’s Day brunch or whatever and be all set. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Mike Smith, EDM at LOS ($38): Given the offensive support he’s received the last two games, Smith hasn’t needed to play well but still went ahead… Source link

Now, the entire regular season tells me more than one game does, but there is some information to be gleaned from those matchups that took place Monday. Here are my players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineup. GOALIE Antti Raanta, CAR vs. BOS ($27): If Frederik Andersen returns, he’s an easy call Wednesday. However, if Andersen… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Basketball series. The opening round didn’t feature any Game 7s, but it was still phenomenal. With that said, this is where the good stuff begins. It definitely feels like we have the eight-best teams remaining, and it’s tough to know who’s the best of the bunch. Any argument can be made for all eight to go all the way, and it’ll be fun to watch them battle it out. We’re kicking off the Eastern Conference Semifinals here, and we’ll dive deep into… Source link

In the afterglow of the NFL draft, everyone thinks their team’s rookie class will work out great. If you have multiple first-round picks, the sky is the limit. Just wait until the optimistic draft grades for each of those teams that picked more than once in the first round on Thursday. It would be great if the NFL was that easy. The Las Vegas Raiders know it’s not. In 2019, the Raiders had just traded edge rusher Khalil Mack and receiver Amari Cooper, but they were awash in first-round picks…. Source link
