It’s a quiet two-game slate in the NHL with the Blues the only team not playing the second leg of a back-to-back. The action starts at 2 p.m. EST, and St. Louis and Anaheim enter as home-ice favorites. It’s definitely worth noting the salaries aren’t prohibitive enough to make navigating the salary cap difficult, so you should be able to pick anyone to fill your lineups.

We’re heading into Week 18, and we’re building our final main slate around a Saints stack as they aim for the final playoff spot in the NFC. We also want to do our best to feature players who will receive a full complement of snaps in our Week 18 Yahoo DFS tournament picks. The final week of the NFL regular season can be tricky to navigate in DFS, but we see it as an opportunity to take advantage. As always, we’ll have some sleepers and under-valued dart throws… Source link

Tom Brady‘s most costly throw of the game on Sunday led to one of his classiest moves. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led his team to a 28-24 comeback win against the New York Jets, but he had a little more ground to make up thanks to how he ended the first half.  Down 14-10, a potential Bucs scoring drive ended in an interception to Jets rookie Brandin Echols, who returned the ball 30 yards to set up a field goal right before halftime: Brady ultimately overcome that interception with 18… Source link

We know the majority of fantasy football owners in traditional leagues are done for the season but for DFSers, There are two more weeks — and two more main slates — remaining in the 2021 regular season. The drama promises to be high with a number of teams still in the mix for a playoff berth — or on the hunt for their conference’s lone bye. While there are a couple of exceptions, we wanted to place our focus on players from those teams still competing for… Source link

The NBA brings a fairly quiet slate to the table Thursday that consists of only four games. The big news surrounding the matchup between the Nets and Sixers is that Kevin Durant is expected to return to the floor after dealing with COVID-19. Kyrie Irving was also activated from the health and safety protocols, but he still is working his way back into shape. The game is being played in Brooklyn, so he wouldn’t have been eligible to play, anyway, given that he is not vaccinated. The… Source link

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. Here are a handful of guys who may help… Source link

As far as Tuesdays go, we have a busy one with eight games scheduled. COVID-19 continues to sideline players at an alarming rate, making for some ugly depth charts across the league. On the bright side, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Monday that players can clear quarantine after six days, instead of the previous 10-day mark. That could lead to significant reinforcements coming for some teams. One who could use the help is the Warriors, who saw Draymond Green join their list of players… Source link

The Christmas Day slate was fantastic. It felt like there were a handful of players on every team with way too cheap salaries, and that’s going to continue with COVID protocols dropping every day. The DFS sites can’t keep their valuation in line with the ever-changing rotations, which means it’s a great time to play. There’s a lot to discuss with today’s card, so let’s go ahead and get into it. Guards Tyrese Haliburton, SAC vs. MEM ($30) Haliburton got off to a slow start this season, but he’s… Source link

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. Our Week 16 Yahoo DFS tournament picks include several low-price, high upside values, and we think we have the right configuration to take a shot at the top spot in GPP tournaments.  We’re also calling… Source link

COVID has been wreaking havoc on our country for over 18 months, and it’s obliterating the NBA right now. It feels like 10 different players get put in COVID protocols every day, making it tough to figure out what these rotations will look like. The only bit of good news about it is that it opens up some value for some cheaper guys, making DFS lineups a little easier to fill out. We certainly have some of our recommendations stepping into more prominent roles, so let’s go ahead and get into… Source link
