Prime Time Thursday as arrived as daily fantasy owners have a chance to cash in double. The fun gets started at 7:05 pm ET with a solid eight game MLB slate while daily fantasy football players get their week started a little later as Thursday Night Football kicks off week 2 of the 2016 NFL Season.

For us we have our attention on the MLB action as the final few weeks of the 2016 MLB season has arrived. One name that we have high on our list to build around on Thursday Night is Mashiro Tanaka of the New York Yankees. The Yankees starter has been really good of late posting at least 37 fantasy points in five of his last six starts.

Over that six game stretch Tanaka managed to go at least seven innings in four of six starts while striking out at least eight batters three different times. While Tanaka is at the top of the fantasy starters on the mound Thursday Night there are also a few other options to consider as well.

Here is who we like tonight to build our MLB FanDuel Lineup around.

FanDuel Starting Pitcher Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Masahiro Tanaka, New York Yankees: The Yankees starter has been on a run of late for his daily fantasy owners. Add that to the fact he went six strong innings posting seven strikeouts in his last outing against the Boston Red Sox makes him a very easy option to build around.

Other FanDuel Starting Pitcher option to consider is Edinson Volquez and Adam Wainwright.

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Chad Kuhl

FanDuel Catcher Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Matt Wieters, Baltimore Orioles: We tossed around a few names at the catcher position including Gary Sanchez. In the end Wieters is a perfect fantasy option at the position while providing us with some salary cap relief. Entering Thursday’s showdown, Wieters is 10 for 37 this season against the Tampa Bay Rays with two home runs.

Other FanDuel Catcher Options include Gary Sanchez and Willson Contreras.

FanDuel First Base Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Kendrys Morales, Kansas City Royals: Looking to ride a hot bat landed us with the Royals first baseman. The Royals first baseman has posted double digit fantasy performances in six of his last eight games. In that stretch, Morales posted five home runs and 15 runs batted in.

Other FanDuel First Base Options include Chris Davis, Matt Adams (Fantasy Sleeper) and Paul Goldschmidt.

FanDuel Second Base Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Logan Forsythe, Tampa Bay Rays: We strongly considered going with Jonathan Schoop fromt his contest as well but wet with the Rays second based on his past success against Yovani Gallardo. In 19 career at bats Forsythe has seven hits including one home run.

Other FanDuel Second Base Options include Jonathan Schoop and Jean Segura.

FanDuel Third Base Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Ryon Healy, Oakland A’s: The youth movement has begun in Oakland and Healy is at the front of the list. The A’s third baseman has been red hot of late picking up two hits in three of his last four games. That success has helped him post 21.7, 22 and 31.4 fantasy points for his fantasy owners.

Other FanDuel Third Base Options include Kris Bryant and Manny Machado.

FanDuel Short Stop Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Didi Gregorius, New York Yankees: Now here is a position we could have easily gone cheap at as no player has stood out of late. For us Gregorius is a solid fantasy option at a very hitter friendly Fenway Park. Currently Fenway ranks 3^rd in runs and 2^nd in doubles in all of baseball.

Other FanDuel Short Stop Options include Corey Seager and Chris Owings.

FanDuel Outfielder Options Thursday September 15^th, 2016

Brandon Drury/Yasmany Tomas, Arizona Diamondbacks: Prior to their Thursday Night contest the Diamondbacks teammates have been hot picking up five home runs and 17 runs batted in over their last seven games combined. Add that with the fact that Chase Field ranks second in all of baseball in home runs according to MLB Park Factors and they make perfect sense.

Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates: Sticking with the Ball Park Factors numbers we landed with McCutchen as he looks to take advantage of Citzens Bank Ball Park (6^th in home runs). Along with the Pirates outfielder we would also consider going with his teammate Gregory Polanco as well as Odubel Herrera.

Kevin Kiermaier, Tampa Bay Rays: For us we could ride a handful of Rays on Thursday Night based on their perfect matchup against Gallardo. Now that being said Kiermaier has been red hot batting .423 over his last seven games with three home runs.

Other FanDuel Outfielder Options include Mark Trumbo, Jorge Soler (Fantasy Sleeper), Dexter Fowler, Joc Pederson and Michael Saunders.

The Mid Week has arrived as we all have our eyes on another action packed weekend of Fantasy Sports. For us though we will keep our eyes on tonight as the 2016 Major League Baseball schedule continues to inch toward some October Post Season Baseball.

As the pennant races continue to heat up the fantasy production continues to rise for some of the top stars while some surprise performances continue from players we might not have expected it from. One of those options has been Michael Bourn when manager Buck Showalter elects to put him in the starting lineup. In each of his last two starts, Bourn has posted 25.2 and 21.7 fantasy points in each of those contests.

Meanwhile, out in Texas Adrian Beltre has been swinging a hot bat picking up hits in six straight games including four multi-hit performances. Who will be a key contributor tonight for us to cash in on some daily fantasy baseball action at the plate?

On the mound the top option looks to be a very favorable option for FanDuel owners tonight and that is Jose Fernandez. The Miami Marlins starter is coming off an impressive 75 point fantasy performance in his last outing while postin over 33 fantasy points in four of his last six starts. Tonight he will have a very favorable matchup against the Atlanta Braves.

Here is who we like tonight to build our MLB FanDuel Lineup around.

FanDuel Starting Pitcher Options Wednesday September 14^th, 2016

Jose Fernandez, Miami Marlins: Fernandez is the safe bet tonight, as he has been solid over his last six games. Add that to the fact the Atlanta Braves rank 29^th in runs scored, 30^th in home runs and 27^th in team OPS makes him almost a lock especially for owners in 50/50 leagues.

Other FanDuel Starting Pitcher option to consider is Yordano Ventura.

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Steven Brault

FanDuel Catcher Options Wednesday September 14^th, 2016

Kurt Suzuki, Minnesota Twins: While we love a few of the top options we also really like Suzuki tonight as an option to offset Fernandez’s high salary. The Twins catcher is five for 11 off of Anibal Sanchez in his career. Now if you go with someone like Ventura or Brault you can spend freely at the catcher position.

Other FanDuel Catcher Options include Jonathan Lucroy and Tucker Barnhart.

FanDuel First Base Options Thursday September 14^th, 2016

Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds: It is hard to pass up on the Reds first baseman right now as he may be the hottest in all of baseball. Votto ho picked up three hits last night has three games with at least three hits over his last five while posting a plus .400 batting average in the second half of the season.

Other FanDuel First Base Options include Chris Davis, Kendrys Morales and Mark Reynolds (Fantasy Sleeper).

FanDuel Second Base Options Wednesday September 14^th, 2016

Carlos Sanchez, Chicago White Sox: Here is another one of those fantasy sleeper/bargains we like to free up some additional salary. The White Sox second baseman is a big time fantasy gamble but he has rewarded his fantasy owners with three double digit performances over his last five games. Monitor the lineup to consider this play and use it more towards GPP formats.

Other FanDuel Second Base Options include Brian Dozier and Dustin Pedroia.

FanDuel Third Base Options Wednesday September 14^th, 2016

Adrian Beltre, Texas Rangers: We are going to continue to ride the hot bat and Beltre is one of those options at third baseman. The Rangers third baseman has a very solid salary at $3,200 despite posting a .298 batting average and delivering 30 home runs.

Other FanDuel Third Base Options include Ryan Flaherty (Fantasy Sleeper/Monitor Lineup), Jonathan Villar and Jung Ho Kang.

FanDuel Short Stop Options Wednesday September 14^th, 2016

Carlos Correa, Houston Astros: The short stop position is one of those slots where we could have easily said go with a sleeper option. That being said we really like Correa tonight at home against Derek Holland of the Texas Rangers. Holland has given up at least four runs in three of his last seven starts while surrendering home runs in seven of his last ten contests.

Other FanDuel Short Stop Options include J.J. Hardy and Alcides Escobar.

FanDuel Outfielder Options Thursday Wednesday September 14^th, 2016

Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox: Despite going hitless in four at bats last night the Red Sox outfielder has still dominated Baltimore Orioles pitching this season. Entering tonight, Betts is 23 for 59 against the Orioles this season with four doubles, eight home runs to go with 19 runs batted in.

Brandon Drury, Arizona Diamondbacks: Here is another great Fantasy Value play tonight to build your lineup around. The Diamondbacks outfielder has posted at last 12.5 fantasy points in five straight games while three of those contests have gone for over 21 (21.7, 37.1 and 25.2).

Adam Eaton, Chicago White Sox: Eaton is one of those options you could ride tonight based on his recent hot stretch or the fact he has a very favorable matchup tonight. Over his last six games, Eaton has posted two hits in five of those contests. Add that with the fact he will face off against Josh Tomlin who is tied for second with 35 home runs allowed makes him a great play.

Other FanDuel Outfielder Options include Norichika Aoki, Mark Trumbo, Marcell Ozuna, Yasmany Tomas and Nelson Cruz.

The pressure is heating up around Major League Baseball as the 2016 Playoffs are just around the corner. That same pressure is mounting for FanDuel owners as the final few weeks to cash in on the regular MLB season is upon us.

This makes Thursday Nights contest critical for us to get back to work and take advantage of the six game slate hitting the diamond at 7:05pm Et or later. Now the big question mark of the night is which of the 12 starters taking the hill should we build our FanDuel lineup around.

At the front of the pack is Alex Cobb for the Tampa Bay Rays as well as Jaime Garcia for the St. Louis Cardinals. For me the solid play is Cobb who managed to go five innings in his first start of the season back on September 2^nd against the Toronto Blue Jays while finishing with 30 fantasy points.

Now to go along with Cobb here is the rest of the options we like to build our FanDuel roster around on Thursday September 8^th, 2016.

FanDuel Starting Pitcher Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Alex Cobb, Tampa Bay Rays: Its hard to use any type of success patterns for this play as Cobb has only appeared in just one game this year after recovering from Tommy John Surgery. That being said when healthy Cobb has put up great numbers for the Rays and his daily fantasy owners.

Jaime Garcia, St. Louis Cardinals: Based on his past success against the Milwaukee Brewers, Garcia is another solid fantasy option on Thursday Night. The Cardinals starter has held the Brewers in check with just a .180 batting average over 122 career at bats while picking up 28 career strike outs.

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Clayton Richard

FanDuel Catcher Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Chris Iannetta, Seattle Mariners: Looking at todays Pitchers/Hitter matchups landed us with the Mariners catcher. Ianneta has picked up nine hits in 26 career at bats against Derek Holland with one of those hits going for a home run. If your not looking to free up some salary you could also turn to Gary Sanchez at home.

Other FanDuel Catcher Options include Gary Sanchez and Yadier Molina

FanDuel First Base Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds: The options are thin tonight with a very light slate of games taking to the diamond. That being said Votto continues to put together a very solid 2016 campaign including picking up at least one hit in each of the Reds last six games.

Other FanDuel First Base Options include Logan Morrison and Mark Teixeira (Fantasy Sleeper)

FanDuel Second Base Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Robinson Cano, Seattle Mariners: While a few of the positions are thin tonight the second base slot has a few solid options including Cano. The Mariners second baseman has posted at least two hits in three of his last six games while picking up hits in each of those contests (2 home runs, one double).

Other FanDuel Second Base Options include Josh Harrison and DJ LeMahieu

FanDuel Third Base Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Rays: There is no way we would turn to any other hitter than the Rays third baseman tonight. Longoria who has had a solid track record hitting solid starters has hit CC Sabathia very well over 70 career at bats. That includes picking up 16 extra base hits (seven home runs) to go along with 16 runs driven in while posting an 1.329 OPS.

Other FanDuel Third Base Options include Jedd Gyorko and Adrian Beltre

FanDuel Short Stop Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Jose Peraza, Cincinnati Reds: The short stop position tonight is one that we aren’t high on but a position you could free up some additional salary cap space. That being said the Reds short stop has been hot picking up four hits last night while posting at least two hits in three of the previous four games before that.

Other FanDuel Short Stop Options include Jordy Mercer and Brad Miller

FanDuel Outfielder Options Thursday September 8^th, 2016

Starling Marte, Pittsburgh Pirates: With the lack of hitter/pitcher career numbers tonight Marte is one of the only options that has had success against the starter he is facing. Entering tonight Marte is six for 15 in his career off of Dan Straily with one of thos hits going for extra bases.

Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals: Despite living up to the hype that was built entering this season coming off his first MVP season, Harper is still a threat nearly any night of the week. Over his last five games, Harper has two doubles, one run batted in, three runs scored, two stolen bases and three walks to help his fantasy numbers.

Jacoby Ellsbury, New York Yankees: Ellsbury has put together three solid fantasy games in a row. That includes posting 12 fantasy points last night and 31.7 on Monday. We are looking to ride the hot bat for one more day to see if the hits keep coming.

Other FanDuel Outfielder Options include Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Steven Souza Jr, Adam Duvall and Carlos Gonzalez.
