Hey, I’m a college football fan, but the conference title games this year are a little dodgy on paper. That makes Saturday a perfect night to focus on the NHL, especially with 12 games on the slate. Here are some players to target, and some to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Vitek Vanecek, NJD at PHI ($38): Vanecek has been a pleasant surprise, posting a .918 save percentage but also boasting a 2.24 GAA thanks to New Jersey’s stingy defense. A defense need not be elite to stifle the Source link

Yahoo Plays and Strategy for Saturday, December 3

This has been one of the strangest weeks of scheduling I’ve ever seen. We had almost every team in action on Monday, Wednesday and Friday but had virtually no one playing on Tuesday and Thursday. This is actually one of the few regular slates, with seven games making up this Saturday card. Unfortunately, only four make up the main slate beginning at 8ET. Nevertheless, there’s still plenty to discuss and numerous great options, so let’s get started with the greatest shooter of all time! Guards Source link

The final weekend of November is packed with NHL action. There are five games Saturday night starting at 7 p.m. ET or later. Here are some players to target, and some to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Semyon Varlamov, NYI vs. PHI ($33): Varlamov is one of the better backups in the NHL. This year he has a 2.97 GAA but a .914 save percentage. The Flyers are on the second leg of a back-to-back and have scored the fewest goals per game in the NHL. GOALIE TO AVOID Logan Thompson, VGK vs. VAN… Source link

We had 28 of the 30 teams in action on Friday, leaving us with a small Saturday slate. We have just four games in total, with three of them making up the main card. What could make it frustrating is the fact that every team on this slate played Friday night. That means we’re going to get some resting, with the Spurs, Lakers, Jazz, Suns, Thunder and Rockets all playing the second half of a B2B. Just be sure to keep an eye on injury reports closer to the opening tip. Guards Shai… Source link

After a Friday with only one game on the slate, Saturday makes up for it. Even without the two afternoon games included, we have 13 evening contests on the docket. You are spoiled for choice on the DFS front. To try and cut through all the clutter, here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Jake Allen, MON vs. PHI ($30): Trying to identify a value option with a lower roster rate than Linus Ullmark, somehow I find myself landing on Allen. He isn’t having a good… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. It’s a beautifully busy night of NHL hockey Saturday. There are 11 games on the slate, which I always love to see. Saturdays are for hockey. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. Let’s do this thing! GOALIE Logan Thompson, VGK vs. STL ($41): How good has Thompson been this year? He just allowed four goals to the high-flying Sabres and still has a 2.32 GAA and .925 save percentage. This matchup should be… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. The World Series could end Saturday. If the Astros win at home, they take another ring. But of course, the Phillies could force a Game 7. For DFS purposes, you have $75 in salary to divvy out to five players. Your Megastar earns you double the points, and your Superstar nets you 1.5 times the points. For perhaps the final time in the 2022 MLB season, here is my lineup. MEGASTAR Alex Bregman, HOU vs. PHI ($17): I like the Astros’… Source link

That Friday card was one of the craziest slates I’ve ever seen. The player pool was full of injuries, and tracking who was taking the floor for each team wasn’t easy. This is simply a new era of the NBA, and no team wants to overwork their players. That’s particularly concerning here because we have eight teams playing the second half of a back-to-back set. Those teams include Brooklyn, Boston, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Minnesota, New York, Portland and San Antonio. We’ll surely get more chaos… Source link

There are a couple huge college football games Saturday, not to mention a World Series game. Me, though? I’m focused on 10 NHL games starting at 7 p.m. EDT or later. Hey, you can play DFS hockey and still watch all that other good sports stuff if you want. Just be sure to get your lineups in, and hopefully these recommendations help. GOALIE Cam Talbot, OTT vs. PHI ($36): Talbot will be making his first start of the season after making a cameo in Ottawa’s last game. This is a nice matchup to… Source link
