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

We had some serious economic news this month, when October’s inflation rate came in at 6.2% annualized. It was the sixth consecutive month +5% year-over-year inflation gains – and the highest inflation rate seen in the US since 1990. Billionaire Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, reminds investors that the worst asset to hold in this environment is cash. “Some people make the mistake of thinking that they are getting richer because they are seeing their assets go up in price… 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

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

I’ve found my groove on Yahoo recently, capitalizing on some missteps from their algorithm. Every DFS site has errors in their systems, and Yahoo tends to keep unknown guys at minimum price tags for way too long. We have a few of those here, but we also have some undervalued studs as well. With that in mind, let’s get into this Saturday slate! Guards Dejounte Murray, SAN at MIL ($33) Murray looks to be in full-on breakout mode right now. We all expected him to take a leap this year but flirting… 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

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
