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).

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. As much relevant analysis as I can fit into, like, 250 […]

We’re getting to the time of year when the marketplace of fantasy assets is a-buzzin’. I always feel as if, in my leagues, managers start to get nervous if they see their teams start 1-2.
