NHL FanDuel Linuep for Thursday November 10th 2016

The NHL Season continues on Thursday Night as Daily Fantasy Sports owners look to cash in on the ten game slate. At the front of the list sits a few top tier goalie options including Carey Price for the Montreal Canadians as well as Tuukka Rask for the Boston Bruins.

This might be most important position on the ice when building our daily fantasy simply based on the high volume of points these goalies deliver. For example, Price has delivered at least 32 fantasy points in five of his last six games. Than you have someone like Ryan Miller who has posted just three double digit performances over his last six games.

That being said we like a few fantasy options between the pipes tonight based on their matchup. One of those options is Petr Mrazek who would be a perfect fantasy sleeper option at the position. Mrazek is projected to be in the goal for the Detroit Red Wings against a Vancouver Canucks team is the only team in the NHL averaging under two goals a game.

Other goalies to consider include Pekka Rinne for the Nashville Predators and Sergei Bobrovsky for the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Here is the rest of our NHL FanDuel options for Thursday November 10^th, 2016.

C – Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay Lightning: Stamkos might have been the easiest of the options at the center position tonight. Tonight the Lightning center will look to take advantage of a New York Islanders team that ranks third in fantasy poits allowed to opposing centers.

C – Rickard Rakell, Anaheim Ducks: We could have gone a few directions at the second center position. In the end we elected to go with Rakell as the Ducks take on a Carolina Panthers team that is allowing 3.33 goals per contest this season. Rakell has three fantasy performances over 16 fantasy points over his last five games.

Other NHL Center Options we like: Tyler Seguin, Dallas Stars & Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins.

Fantasy Sleeper Center Option we like: Brad Richardson, Arizona Coyotes

W – Corey Perry, Anaheim Ducks: For us we couldn’t look past the Ducks tonight against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has had its struggles. This includes against opposing right wingers who have scored the second most fantasy points against only trailing the Arizona Coyotes.

W – Johnny Gaudreau, Calgary Flames: The Flames left winger is coming off a solid 11.2 point fantasy performance in the teams last contest. Tonight he will look to build on that against a Dallas Stars team that ranks first in the NHL in fantasy points allowed to the left winger position.

W – Patrik Laine, Winnipeg Jets: As we started to look at the winger position we knew we needed a few lost cost options to off set some of the more expensive options. That is when we landed with the Jets winger who will look to take advantage of an Arizona Coyotes team that ranks first in goals allowed in the NHL.

W – Shane Prince, New York Islanders: Now for us Prince is a perfect GPP option tonight to build our lineup around. The Islanders winger is a hit or miss option but has produced three performances over 24 fantasy points in the teams first eight games this season. If you are playing H2H or 50/50 style leagues we suggest looking in the $4,500 – $5,500k mark for the cheap winger option.

Other NHL Winger Options we like: Joe Pavelski, San Jose Sharks & Nikita Kucherov, Tampa Bay Lightning.

Fantasy Sleeper Winger Option we like: Jordan Martinook, Arizona Coyotes

D – Dennis Wideman, Calgary Flames: Now we are taking the approach that we are looking to cash in GPP format tournaments helping us lean to the cheaper options at the defenseman option. Wideman has a very favorable fantasy matchup against a Dallas Stars team allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing defenseman.

D – Alex Goligoski, Arizona Coyotes: Much like Wideman we turned to Goligoski based on his very favorable matchup against the Winnipeg Jets tonight. Entering tonight’s contest the Jets have allowed the eighth most goals in the NHL opening up a few of the Coyotes as solid fantasy options tonight.

Other NHL Defenseman Options we like: Dustin Byfuglien, Winnipeg Jets & Kris Letang, Pittsburgh Penguins.

Fantasy Sleeper Defenseman Option we like: Jack Johnson, Columbus Blue Jackets

G – Petr Mrazek, Detroit Red Wings: Mrazek is the projected starter for the Red Wings tonight making him a great option against a Canucks team that has struggled to put the puck in the net. He has been up and down this season but we like him tonight if he does get the nod. That being said you will need to save a few dollars just incase he does not get the start.

Other NHL Goalie Option we like: Pekka Rinne (Nashville Predators)

Fantasy NHL Goalie Option we like: Curtis McElhinney, Columbus Blue Jackets (GPP Option)

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Wednesday November 9th 2016

The 2016-17 NBA Schedule delivers an action packed lineup of contests on Wednesday Night opening up an endless list of options on our FanDuel wish list. A wish list that is headlined by NBA Super Stars Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Chris Paul and Kawhi Leonard.

While we would all love that combination but in the end we are all working with a salary of just $60k. Now looking at each fo the five positions the one position that stood out as a spot that you have to spend the most cash on was the point guard position.

On Wednesday Night we like a few different combinations at that position built around the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard. Entering the team’s showdown with the Toronto Raptors, Westbrook has been one of the more consistent scorers in the NBA including posting at least 42 fantasy points in six of seven games this season.

Now in order to spend on that second point guard position you will have to get creative including going with someone like Steven Adams at the center position and Joe Johnson at the shooting guard position to free up some additional salary cap space for the roster.

Here are our NBA options we like tonight to build our NBA FanDuel Lineup around.

NBA FanDuel Point Guards

Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder: For us it just simply came down to us not wanting to pass up the NBA’s top point guard. In four of those six contests Westbrook also broke the 51 point fantasy mark. We also considered stacking Isaiah Thomas and Stephen Curry together to save some salary cap number.

Isaiah Thomas, Boston Celtics: In the end we elected to go with two of the top fantasy scorers at the point guard position on Wednesday Night. Thomas has a very key opportunity going up against a Washington Wizards team that has struggled to produce on both ends of the floor to start the season.

Fantasy Sleeper Point Guard to consider: Rajon Rondo

NBA FanDuel Shooting Guards

Sean Kilpatrick, Brooklyn Nets: For us we elected to go with the cheaper options at both the shooting guard positions as both our options look like solid producers on Wednesday Night. This includes Kilpatrick who has a very favorable matchup against a New York Knicks team that is allowing the most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards in the NBA.

Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards: Here is another one of those fantasy options we like based simply on his matchup. On Wednesday Night, Beal will have a chance to take advantage of a Celtics team that ranks second in fantasy points allowed to opposing shooting guards.

Fantasy Sleeper Shooting Guard to consider: Courtney Lee

NBA FanDuel Small Forwards

Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs: We tossed around a few options here including going with Kevin Durant. In four of his six games played this season Leonard has turned in at least 43 fantasy points including three of those games with at least 50 fantasy points.

C.J. Miles, Indiana Pacers: Sometimes you just have to play the matchup and that is why we elected to go with Miles at the second small forward position. Miles will look to take advantage of a Philadelphia 76ers team that ranks sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing small forwards to go along with allowing 105 points a game.

Fantasy Sleeper Small Forward to consider: Andre Roberson

NBA FanDuel Power Forwards

Thaddeus Young, Indiana Pacers: Young is coming off his worst fantasy performances of the season while failing to produce double digit fantasy numbers. In the end we elected to stick with Young based on the fact he has four 20 plus fantasy performances including two of those games over the 30 point mark.

Tobais Harris, Detroit Pistons: Now we stayed away from this contest on Wednesday Night but we also love this matchup as the Suns love to play a fast pace lineup something that has shown up in the stat sheet as they rank 1^st in points allowed per games.

Fantasy Sleeper Power Forwards to consider: Dwight Powell

NBA FanDuel Center

Steven Adams, Oklahoma City Thunder: In the end the only real option in building a lineup around two of the top fantasy point guards means spending cheap at a few of those positions. For us we liked that option at the center position as Adams will get a crack at a Raptors team allowing the fourth most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers.

Fantasy Sleeper Centers to consider: Joakim Noah

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday November 7th 2016

The action packed fantasy sports weekend has come to an end as we get set to start tip off the week on Monday Night. This week’s Monday Night NBA lineup features a seven game slate that is sure to deliver some great fantasy options for FanDuel owners to cash in on.

At the front of the matchups sits a dynamic showdown in the Nations Capitals as the Washington Wizards welcome the Houston Rockets to town. This contest features one of the top fantasy options at the shooting guard position in James Harden as well as one of the top fantasy point guards in John Wall.

Now while those two options look great on paper as well as a few of the other top tier NBA FanDuel options we are still working with a salary cap structure. That one simple piece of information has helped us turn our attention to a few fantasy sleepers and bargains who could save us a few dollars.

One of those options is Markieff Morris for the Washington Wizards who currently carries a salary under the $6k mark. Morris has a prime matchup on Monday Night against a Rockets team that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing power forwards.

The other option that looks good on paper on Monday Night is the Rockets center Clint Capela. Entering their Monday Night Showdown the Wizards are allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing centers. This includes two double doubles over the teams first four games.

Here are our NBA options we like tonight to build our NBA FanDuel Lineup around.

NBA FanDuel Point Guards

George Hill, Utah Jazz: Hill is a solid option that is not named John Wall or Russell Westbrook. The Jazz’s point guard will have a chance to put together another big game on Monday Night against a Philadelphia 76ers team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball. Opposing point guards are averaging over 23 points a game and 11 assists per contest this season against the 76ers.

Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder: Anytime you have a chance to build your FanDuel lineup around the Thunders point guard we suggest taking that option. Entering Monday Nights contest Westbrook has posted at least 42 fantasy points in all six games played this season.

Fantasy Sleeper Point Guard to consider: Tyler Johnson

NBA FanDuel Shooting Guards

James Harden, Houston Rockets: Now the debate to be made on Monday Night is whether or not to stack Harden and Westbrook on the same team while carrying a ton of our salary cap number. For us we like the idea but we could also see going with someone like Nicolas Batum and Monta Ellis to save a few dollars as well as going with Harden’s teammate Eric Gordon to save a few bucks.

Rodney Hood, Utah Jazz: As we tossed around combinations we stumbled on Hood as a top tier fantasy option at the shooting guard position. Now we suggest going with Hood if you go with someone other than Hill at the point guard to reduce the chance of a let down by both if Gordon Hayward takes over most of the scoring duties.

Fantasy Sleeper Shooting Guard to consider: E’Twaun Moore

Join FanDuel’s $400K Mon NBA Shot ($50K to 1st) Today!

NBA FanDuel Small Forwards

Justise Winslow, Miami Heat: Here is a position that we strongly consider as one that could allow us to save a few dollars at depending on which top tier options you have gone with at the other positions. Winslow will get a shot at a OKC Thunder team that is allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing small forwards. Winslow has posted over 20 fantasy points in all five games this year including two performances of at least 31.

Gordon Hayward, Utah Jazz: After missing the start of the 2016-17 NBA Season, Hayward returned on Sunday to score 28 points and five rebounds against the New York Knicks. While we suggest monitoring the lineups as they are posted we like Hayward on Monday Night.

Fantasy Sleeper Small Forward to consider: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

NBA FanDuel Power Forwards

Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans: Davis is another one of those options that is a key one to build around. The problem is you will have to make a strong decision on which of the big time salaries you will take on and which fantasy sleepers to help you build the roster. Davis will face off against a Golden State Warriors team that is allowing the most fantasy points to opposing power forwards.

Markieff Morris, Washington Wizards: The Wizards power forward is another one of those options who has a top five fantasy matchup at his position. Add that with the fact that has posted at least 34 fantasy points in back to back games makes him a great fantasy option.

Fantasy Sleeper Power Forwards to consider: Terrence Jones

NBA FanDuel Center

Robin Lopez, Chicago Bulls: Lopez hasn’t lived up to the potential the Bulls were hoping for when they brought him in this offseason. That being said he has put together a few FanDuel games with over 20 fantasy. Add that with the fact he gets a shot at an Orlando Magic team that is allowing nearly 19 rebounds a game and 24 points to opposing centers makes him a great option. Another solid option to consider is Myles Turner for the Indiana Pacers.

Fantasy Sleeper Centers to consider: Clint Capela

NFL FanDuel Lineup for Week 9 of the 20016 Season

The 2016 NFL Schedule rolls into wave two as the second half of the season gets underway this weekend. Now before we get to our FanDuel plays of the week we will take a look at the week 9 slate of games including a prime time Sunday Night Contest.

Now the first game we like for week 9 features the Dallas Cowboys heading to Cleveland to take on the Browns. This is a primetime fantasy matchup to take advantage of as the Cleveland Browns have struggled to slow down opposing offenses. Entering week 9 the Browns are allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, fourth against opposing running backs, fifth against wide receivers and third against tight ends.

Along with looking at a handful of the Cowboys weapons we like this week there are a few other key matchups we like as well. One of those is a fantasy sleeper in Case Keenum for the Los Angeles Rams against a struggling Carolina Panthers team who has allowed 16 touchdown passes on 2142 yards passing.

Here is who we like for week 9 of the 2016 NFL Season to build our FanDuel lineups around.

Starting Quarterback FanDuel

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: This week we suggest putting your fantasy team in the hands of the Packers quarterback as he will look to take advantage of a very bad Indianapolis Colts defense. Entering this game the Colts have allowed 2,387 yards passing with 14 touchdowns against just two interceptions.

Other Quarterback Options to consider: Dak Prescott, Sam Bradford and Case Keenum (Fantasy Sleeper).

Starting Running Back FanDuel

Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys: The second of our top fantasy options for week 9 is the Cowboys running back as he looks to take advantage of the Browns defense. Entering this contest Elliott has topped the 16 point fantasy mark in five straight games including three of those performances against top 10 run defenses.

Charcandrick West, Kansas City Chiefs: For us we looked at the second running back slot as an opportunity to free up some salary cap space to allow us to load up at the wide receiver slot. West will get the start this weekend against a Jacksonville Jaguars team that has had its up and downs this season.

Other Running Backs to consider: Le’Veon Bell (You could team him up with Elliott you would have to bargain shop at wide receiver), Devontae Booker, Mark Ingram and Tim Hightower (Fantasy Sleeper).

Starting Wide Receiver FanDuel

Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers: How can we not like Nelson and Devante Adams both this weekend against a very bad Colts defense. Add that with the fact that we love Rodgers at quarterback makes this decision an easy one. Nelson has posted over 15 fantasy points in three of his last six games.

Allen Hurns, Jacksonville Jaguars: We tossed around the idea of using both Hurns and his teammate Allen Robinson. In the end we liked Hurns salary cap number allowing us to land Nelson as our top receiver. The Chiefs defense has allowed 1,302 yards and nine touchdowns through the air this season.

Brandin Cooks, New Orleans Saints: While we left Brees off of our list of options at quarterback but we still like his play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers. Add that to the fact that Cooks has at least one touchdown in three straight games makes him a great option this weekend.

Other Wide Receivers to consider include: Antonio Brown, Allen Robinson, Kenny Stills, Dorial Green-Beckham (fantasy sleeper).

Starting Tight End FanDuel

Lance Kendricks, Los Angeles Rams: We tossed around a few names including Kendricks as well as Antonio Gates for the San Diego Chargers and Kyle Rudolph for the Minnesota Vikings. In the end we looked to Kendricks who has been targeted at least seven times in three of his last four games.

Other Tight Ends to consider include: Antonio Gates, Jason Witten and Kyle Rudolph.

Starting Kicker FanDuel

Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers: For us this is a simple decision as we expect to see a ton of points scored in the Packers/Colts game on Sunday. This makes both Crosby as well as Adam Vinatari great option at the kicker slot. The Colts/Packers game is just one of two games with an over/under of 50 or higher.

Other Kickers to consider include: Justin Tucker, Cairo Santos and Caleb Sturgis.

Starting Defense FanDuel

Miami Dolphins: You could go a few directions here including the Dallas Cowboys against the Cleveland Browns as well as the Minnesota Vikings against the Detroit Lions. In the end we elected to go with a Dolphins team that will look to take advantage of a very bad New York Jets team.

Other Defenses to consider include: Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams.

NFL Fantasy Sleepers for Week 9 of the 2016 Season

The NFL Thursday Night Football Game is in the books opening up the countdown to another action packed Sunday of Football. For us though this just means another week of fantasy football action from season long leagues to daily fantasy action on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings.

Now for us the key to success for many of the top daily fantasy players comes with their ability to find that Fantasy Football Bargain or Fantasy Sleeper to cash in on. We have seen this type of production from various players this season and that trend should continue till the final whistle of the 2016 NFL Regular Season.

That being said the hardest of the position slots to find a Fantasy Sleeper is the quarterback position. That will be the same case this weekend as well as most of the solid fantasy options all carry a salary above the $8k mark while the other guys sitting below the options below the S7k mark is very thin.

With all that said here are some key Fantasy Sleepers for week 9 of the 2016 NFL Season.

Fantasy Sleepers – Quarterbacks

Nick Foles, Kansas City Chiefs: After bouncing around the past few seasons Foles now has a chance to take most of this opportunity. This includes going up against a Jacksonville Jaguars team that has struggled at times to slow down opposing teams. After filling in for Alex Smith last week after he left the game injured Foles threw for 223 yards with two touchdown passes.

Fantasy Sleepers – Running Back

Mike Davis & Shaun Draughn, San Francisco 49ers: If Carlos Hyde is scratched again this Sunday we suggest looking at each of these options. Now Davis will be the better option in standard fantasy leagues while Draughn would add some value in fantasy owners competing in PPR Leagues. Last week in Hyde’s absence Davis added a rushing touchdown while Draughn added one threw the air.

Kenneth Dixon, Baltimore Ravens: Here is our Deep Fantasy Sleeper of the Week as we expect the Ravens to work him more into their game plan coming out of their bye week. This includes in the teams passing attack as they face off against a Pittsburgh Steelers team that has allowed 425 yards and three touchdown receptions to opposing running backs this season.

Other fantasy sleeper running backs for week 9 include Aaron Ripkowski (Red Zone Threat) and Cameron Artis-Payne.

Fantasy Sleepers – Wide Receivers

Darrius Heyward-Bey, Pittsburgh Steelers: We love this fantasy play as well as Sammie Coates if and only if Ben Roethlisberger is announced the starter for Sundays game against the Ravens. If that is the case we suggest considering both of these options as well as a top fantasy option in Antonio Brown against a Ravens team that has allowed a league high 13 touchdown receptions to the position.

Other fantasy sleeper wide receivers for week 9 include

Victor Cruz, New York Giants: Just a few seasons ago many had Cruz as the NFL’s top receiver. Fast forward to now and all we have seen have been inconstinces while Cruz has had his issues with injuries. With all that said we like him this weekend while we expect the Philadelphia Eagles to pay to much attention to Odell Beckham Jr.

Other fantasy sleeper wide receivers for week 9 include Brice Butler, Brian Quick and Tyreek Hill.

Fantasy Sleepers – Tight Ends

Jace Amaro, Tennessee Titans: After being claimed by the Titans prior their Thursday Night contest, Amaro showed up ready to play in a limited role. The former New York Jet tight end pulled in three catches for 59 yards. With the extra time to work with the Titans offense we expect Amaro to be a solid fantasy option in week 9.

Other fantasy sleeper tight ends for week 9 include Kyle Rudolph and Lance Kendricks.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Thursday November 3rd 2016

The daily fantasy world heats up on Thursday Night with a heavy lineup of opportunities to take advantage of. This includes the opening kickoff of week 9 of the 2016 NFL season as well as a nice lineup of NHL contests taking to the ice. For us we are turning our attention to the hardwood for some NBA FanDuel Action.

Now that being said we will all be working with a limited slate of action as the NBA Schedule only delivers five games for us all to build our FanDuel lineups around. At the top of those contests features the Oklahoma City Thunder heading out West to take on the Golden State Warriors.

This contest will headline the first time during the regular season Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will square off against one another after teaming up since the 2008 NBA Season. For us these two stars will each look to be the center stage on Thursday Night making them both a perfect combo to build our NBA FanDuel lineup.

Here are our NBA options we like tonight to build our NBA FanDuel Lineup around.

PG – Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder: Here is the first opportunity for Westbrook to show the world he can carry the load in OKC without Durant. Add that motivation with the fact that Westbrook has posted at least 57 fantasy points in three straight games to open the season makes him an easy option.

PG –Emmanul Mudiay, Denver Nuggets: We considered going with Kyrie Irving as well but would have needed to go cheaper at botht he shooting guard position and power forward position. In the end Mudiay will need to play a bigger role in the teams offense with both Gary Harris and Will Barton out on Thursday night.

SG – Avery Bradley, Boston Celtics: Here is one of those fantasy plays you just simply have to ride based on his early success. The Celtics shooting guard has posted over 30 fantasy points in three straight games including a stellar 51.2 point contest in the teams last contest.

SG – J.R. Smith, Cleveland Cavaliers: After a slow start the Cavaliers shooting guard has slowly gotten it going over his last two games. In those two games Smith has posted double digits in both contests while posting over 21 fantasy points in each contest. Can Thursday Night be the night we see Smith top the 30 point mark?

SF – Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors: For us the showdown between the Warrior and Thunders will feature a ton of scoring from both sides of the floor giving Durant an opportunity to put up some big numbers. Then you have the extra motivation for Durant to out perform Westbrook makes him another easy decision to build our NBA FanDuel Lineup around.

SF – Andre Roberson, Oklahoma City Thunder: With the light slate of games it left us a very thin list of fantasy sleeper options to free up some salary cap space. Not only do we expect this game to feature some scoring Las Vegas handicappers do as well as they currently have it slated at 226 opening up a ton of opportunities for players not named Westbrook or Durant to put up some big time fantasy performances.

PF – Enes Kanter, Oklahoma City Thunder: The ideal pick would be Draymond Green but the salary cap numbers don’t work out for us. That being said with the high point total expected this should mean both teams are shooting opening the door for rebounding opportunities.

PF – Thaddeus Young, Indiana Pacers: With a very thin slate of games on Thursday Night it leaves us with very few options in the mid tier price range for power forwards. This opens up the door for Young who has two 31 plus fantasy performances over his first four games.

C – Jusuf Nuric, Denver Nuggets: Now if you elect to go cheaper than Durant or Westbrook you could work DeMarcus Cousins into your lineup. For us though we like the Nuggets power forward as a solid option against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nuric has posted at least nine rebounds in all three of the Nuggets game this season.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday November 1st 2016

The 2016-17 NBA Season rolls on Tuesday Night as we all look to cash in on some action on FanDuel. Tuesday’s night action on the hardwood consists of a nine game slate that delivers a few prime time fantasy matchups to consider when building our NBA FanDuel Lineup.

One of those matchups features a primetime showdown in Cleveland where the Cavaliers will host the Houston Rockets. Along with featuring two teams that can score this contest also features two of the games top fantasy producers in James Harden and LeBron James.

Now the fantasy options won’t end with those two as other top fantasy options on Tuesday include Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard and DeMacus Cousins. That being said the big question for Tuesday Night is which fantasy bargain and sleepers should we pair with them to build that winning FanDuel lineup.

For us we could go a few different directions including stacking the likes of James Harden with Anthony Davis or stacking LeBron James with Damian Lillard. One thing we have seen from the early winning lineups in GPP tournaments on FanDuel is the fact that the top teams have gone with only two players over the $6,500 price tag.

Here are our NBA options we like tonight to build our NBA FanDuel Lineup around.

PG – Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers: We strongly considered going with Kyrie Irving as well at this spot. In the end it was just to difficult to pass up on a player who has posted at least 41 fantasy points in three straight games including two of those games over the 54 point mark.

PG – Matthew Dellavedova, Milwaukee Bucks: You could go a few routes here we went with the lower priced option but you could go cheaper at a few of the other positions to go with someone like Irving. In the end we like the Bucks point guard tonight as well as Sergio Rodriguez.

SG – Eric Gordon, Houston Rockets: Gordon will be one of those players who will be all over the board on most nights depending on how many shots James Harden elects to take. That being said we expect tonight’s Cavs/Rockets game to be a high scoring contest on both ends.

SG –Zach LaVine, Minnesota Timberwolves: Here is another one of those options we strongly like tonight based on his solid start to the 2016-17 NBA Season. LaVine has opened up the year with back to back 29 point fantasy performances while providing some salary cap relief. Outside of going with a much cheaper option at either the point guard or power forward position it will be difficult to go land a next tier option here.

SF –Marcus Morris, Detroit Pistons: One thing we know for sure with Morris is that he will see the floor for at least 30 minutes on most nights giving him a ton of opportunities to produce. Tonight he will look to bounce back after a down game against the New York Knicks.

SF – Aaron Gordon, Orlando Magic: Gordon is one of those players we would love to see take it to the next level this season. That being said he has stayed below the 30 point fantasy mark to open the season. This could change tonight as the Magic have a very favorable matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

PF – Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans: Unless the Pelicans big man is hurt or out of the lineup he is that one option you want to consider building around night in and night out. Despite just 29 points in his last game against a very good San Antonio Spurs team, Davis is a must start tonight against the Bucks.

PF – Jon Leuer, Detroit Pistons: Here is a position we could use a little of that free cap space to go a little more expensive if you would like. We like Leuer who has delivered to 20 plus fantasy performances while costing in the low $4k’s. You could consider Al-Farouq Aminu or JaMychal Green.

C – Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies: It was just a few seasons ago Gasol was one of the games top big man while landing one of the big offseason deals. After a disappointing opening game of the regular season, Gasol has rebounded with back to back 30 plus fantsy games including 37.5 in his last contest. Look for those types of numbers to continue over the course of the season.

NFL FanDuel Lineup for Week 8 of the 2016 Season

The 2016 NFL Season continues to roll along as we reach the eighth week landing us almost at the mid way point. This is also one of the last weeks we all have to deal with key byes to our best weapons for both FanDuel as well as our season long fantasy leagues.

For us this week presents a few big time fantasy opportunities as well as some difficult decisions. One of those decisions comes at the quarterback position where you have a difficult play in Drew Brees going up against a very good Seattle Seahawks team.

Meanwhile in Atlanta both Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers look like solid plays in a game that could see some points scored. Then just a state down the Oakland Raiders head to Tampa Bay to take on a Buccaneers where both Jameis Winston and Derek Carr could have big time fantasy performances.

Moving over to the running back position another difficult decision comes in Cleveland where the New York Jets and Matt Forte will look to run the ball against a struggling Browns defense. The question mark though sits with Forte who is coming off a solid 27.4 fantasy performance last week but had failed to reach eight fantasy points in his previous four games.

Here is who we like for week 8 of the 2016 NFL Season to build our FanDuel lineups around.

Starting Quarterback FanDuel

Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks: We could have easily gone with Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Cam Newton as well as Derek Carr this weekend. In the end we couldn’t pass up on Wilson going up against a Saints defense that has allowed the sixth most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season.

Other Quarterback Options to consider: Cam Newton, Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers.

Starting Running Back FanDuel

Christine Michael, Seattle Seahawks: We are looking to stack the deck against a Saints team that just hasn’t been good this season. Entering this weekend, the Saints have allowed 629 yards on the ground to opposing backs while allowing them to also add 306 yards and two touchdowns through the air.

Devontae Booker, Denver Broncos: Booker will take over the main running back gig in Denver as CJ Anderson has found his way on to the IR. Now for us we like the potential that Booker has shown as well as the fact he plays in a run first type of offense that is led by Gary Kubiak.

Other Running Backs to consider: Bilal Powell (Deep Fantasy Sleeper For GPP Format), Spencer Ware and Theo Riddick.

Starting Wide Receiver FanDuel

Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks: Now we tossed around a few different fantasy options from the Saints receiving corps as well as their tight ends. In the end we like the Fantasy Value that Lockett presents to help off set some of the higher priced fantasy options we have built around.

Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: You can flip a coin in this game to go with either Evans or Amari Cooper. We like both of them going into their week 8 showdown but elected to go with Jordy Nelson over Cooper. Look for the Bucs/Raiders game to deliver some offensive fireworks in week 8.

Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers: For us we loved to imagine having Julio Jones in this slot. The downside the heavy price tag would limit what we could do so unless you like Gates at tight end or a cheaper wide receiver option for Evans we suggest riding in the $7k territory for two of your three receivers.

Other Wide Receivers to consider include: Julio Jones, T.Y. Hilton, Brandon Marshall, Chris Hogan (Fantasy Sleeper) and Tyrell Williams.

Starting Tight End FanDuel

Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots: It is hard for us to look past the NFL’s top tight end week in and week out. That being said we like his matchup this weekend while helping us put him ahead of guys like Jimmy Graham, Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz. One name to monitor though is Antonio Gates who sits under the $6k mark but pulled in ten catches last weekend.

Other Tight Ends to consider include: Jimmy Graham, Travis Kelce and Antonio Gates.

Starting Kicker FanDuel

Matt Bryant, Atlanta Falcons: For us we looked around at the games with the potential for most points scored. In the end it was hard to look past the Falcons/Packers game as both quarterbacks can sling. Currently this is the only contest that carries an over/under of over 50 in Las Vegas (Currently 52.5 points).

Other Kickers to consider include: Mason Crosby, Stephen Hauschka and Cairo Santos.

Starting Defense FanDuel

New York Jets: While the Jets have yet to live up to their expectations this season on the defensive side of the ball they are still a solid option this weekend against a bad Browns team. Entering Sunday the Browns rank 18^th in total offensive yards, 27^th in points scored and 12^th in most turnovers.

Other Defenses to consider include: Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Friday October 28th 2016

The first few days of the 2016-17 NBA Season is in the books as the opening weekend has arrived. Now before we start to preview the action on Friday October 28^th, 2016 we decided to take a look at some of the early NBA action including a few top FanDuel Performers.

One of those top performers was Anthony Davis on Wednesday Night as the New Orleans Pelicans big man went off. Davis finished the night with 50 points to go along with 16 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and seven steals while posting 95.7 fantasy points.

Along with Davis we also saw a few of the NBA other top stars drop big time fantasy performances. The group includes six other NBA stars that posted at least 50 fantasy points including James Harden, Myles Turner, Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Lebon James.

Now that being said we have turned our attention to the eight game NBA slate taking to the hardwood on Friday Night. For us the one game that is at the front of the action features the Houston Rockets heading to Dallas to take on the Mavericks. We expect this contest to be one of the highest scoring contests of the night with an over/under line at 221.5.

Here is who we like on Friday October 28^th, 2016 to build our NBA FanDuel around.

PG – Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers: When we looked at the point guard position we love Russell Westbrook as the top fantasy option but we looked to Irving as cheaper option. Irving will continue to put up big numbers night in and night out as opposing teams will have a difficult time shutting down the Cavaliers big three.

PG – Tyler Johnson, Miami Heat: Now Johnson might be that one deep fantasy sleeper that could put us all over the top on Friday Night. The backup Heat guard registered 28 minutes in the teams opening game and should be a solid fantasy option as long as Josh Richardson is not in the lineup.

Other NBA PG FanDuel Options for Friday October 28^th include Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams and Kemba Walker.

SG – Dion Waiters, Miami Heat: For us the shooting guard slot is one of those positions you could save a few dollars on and one of those options is Waiters. The Heat’s shooting guard played 34 minutes in the teams opening game posting nine points, six rebounds and four assists. As long as Waiters continues to get at least 30 minutes per game he is a must use fantasy option.

SG – James Harden, Houston Rockets: By now we all know that Harden is one of the top scorers in the NBA. Now the Rockets will lean on him to run the point position opening up an additional fantasy production with assists. While he does carry a heavy price tag he is a must use candidate in a game that could see both teams top the 120 mark.

Other NBA SG FanDuel Options for Friday October 28^th include Eric Gordon, Jordan Clarkson and Monta Ellis.

SF – Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Charlotte Hornets: Kidd-Gilchrist might have not lived up to the hype that surrounded him after being drafted. That being said the Hornets small forward has the potential to be a true threat night in and night out. That is exactly what he did in the first night of the season as he dropped 23 points to go with 14 rebounds.

SF – Harrison Barnes: We would love to tag team Kevin Durant and LeBron James at the small forward position. The downside is we are working around a limited budget opening up the door for us to build around a few FanDuel Bargains. Barnes is one of those options in a matchup between two teams that should see a ton of scoring.

Other NBA SF FanDuel Options for Friday October 28^th include Joe Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Bojan Bogdanovic.

PF – Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans: After his opening night performance it is nearly impossible to look past him on Friday Night against the Golden State Warriors. Davis should have a ton of opportunities to score as well as some big time rebound numbers.

PF – Julius Randle, Los Angeles Lakers: After a disappointing 2015-16 NBA season the Lakers could be an up and coming team built around a young nucleus. One of those young stars is Randle who delivered an 18 point, seven rebound, six assists performance in the teams opening night win over the Houston Rockets.

Other NBA PF FanDuel Options for Friday October 28^th include Dirk Nowitzki, Tobias Harris and Marvin Williams.

C – Roy Hibbert, Charlotte Hornets: The Hornets big man is a great fantasy sleeper option for FanDuel owners. Hibbert posted 38.3 fantasy points in his first game of the season offering both a scoring threat as well as a threat on the glass while also posting five blocked shots.

Other NBA Center FanDuel Options for Friday October 28^th include Clint Capela, Nikoa Vucevic and Myles Tuner.

Sometimes when you start a hobby or project or any other life adventure for that matter you often say to yourself ”if only I knew back then what I know now I might have been able to do even greater things”. Daily fantasy sports is no different and we wanted to take some time to expand on some wisdom an older us would tell a younger us about DFS.

Daily Fantasy Look Back Strategy Concept Number 1: Think About The Long Run

The one thing about daily fantasy sports is that they are exciting. As a sports fan its easy to get swept up in the dizzying degree of options that DFS has to offer while becoming lost in the immediate moment. As with anything new we are more susceptible to jumping in blind and too fast only to the detriment of ourselves later. The key here is if you are just starting out in daily fantasy sports be sure to take it slowly. Sports are not going away anytime soon and DFS games run often so as a beginner you should feel no pressure to go all in immediately. In daily fantasy sports it truly is about the long run and even the best in world fall victim variance. By keeping a well balanced perspective on the long run and variance it will be that much simpler to make better decisions on a day to day basis.

Daily Fantasy Look Back Strategy Concept Number 2: Have Backup Plans

While there are plenty of daily fantasy sports professionals this does not automatically be able to replicate their success regardless of how much work you put in or resources you may have access to. Also sometimes when we put too much hope and stock into any one thing the let downs can be more painful then they need to be. Daily fantasy sports is first and foremost supposed to be fun and enjoyable experience so there is no reason to go over board on the expectations for yourself. The key here is to enjoy the process of playing and learning rather then focusing so much on results. Don’t get too caught up in the huge prizes people are winning or others accomplishments in the industry. Its essential to focus on what makes you happy and never let DFS detract or distract from all the other important responsibilities in your life. They say don’t “put all your eggs in one basket” and daily fantasy sports is one area of life you will want to follow that rule.

Daily Fantasy Look Back Strategy Concept Number 3: Play and Try More Sites

Like anything in life it is easy to get into a comfortable routine and lose track of all the other amazing things variety and spontaneity can bring about. Its true old habits are hard to break which is why you have a great opportunity as a new daily fantasy sports player and that is to avoid developing negative tendencies. There are so many wonderful DFS platforms out there, as seen in our review section, it really is worthwhile to explore the playing landscape. You never know when you might find a website or game type that you truly love or become really good at. Sometimes the smaller and more obscure daily fantasy sports websites can be gold mines not only in terms of softer competition but also in terms of bonuses and player perks as well. Variety is the spice of life and its always wise to keep your daily fantasy sports game a little “spicy” at all times.
