He’s already one of the hottest waiver must-adds this week, with over a +30% roster percentage. That only brings Dontayvion Wicks’s to a total ownership of 40%. All to say, you might still be able to readily grab him. Do so right now if you can. Pop out of this tab, swap him your least-favorite […]

We’re back for the Week 5 edition of Defense Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em. As always—two for each category.

After his postgame comments last week about his periodic exhaustion in Week 4, Jerry Jeudy’s ($5,200) drawn headlines, once again, for marble-mouthing to the media. It’s become a bit of a bugaboo of his; I’m not sure Jeudy’s ever been particularly deft with the media—thinking back, here, to the Steve Smith feud two years ago. […]

I’m not sure how much more patient fantasy managers and Ridley/Titans fans more broadly can be with the first-year Tennessee wideout. He’s going to have to do some serious work on the Dolphins secondary. Fantasy managers with Ridley […]

“Any zombies out there?” Sure are, Ed! As September rolls like a decapitated jack-o-lantern into October, we here at DKNetwork want to pay homage to Shaun of the Dead. Edgar Wright’s 2004 film ranks, at least for me, among my top-five best zombie movies ever made. Ed might here ask me: Who died and made […]

Just as both teams went to halftime in their Week 4 matchup, the San Francisco 49ers announced that George Kittle is officially questionable to return for the second half against the New England Patriots with a rib injury.

Fear not! This is not as bad a roster dilemma as you may think for season-long. And it’s a legitimately prudent question if you’re looking to build a DraftKings DFS lineups for a primetime contest tonight like NFL $60K Post Pattern [$15K to 1st] (Primetime). We know Derrick Henry ($6,800) is going to get the […]

Fridays are for Five Lists of 5! Going forward, I’ll be doing this for every week of the fantasy regular season. Think of these as byte-sized, two-minutes-to-yourself lists to scan during your weekend as you foam at the mouth for any competitive fantasy edge.
