Zach has been part of the DraftKings team since 2017 and covers baseball, basketball, golf, football and any other sport that offers DFS fun. He has been playing fantasy sports since box scores were only available in the newspaper the following day. Even though he grew up almost 8,000 miles away in Guam, he is a diehard Boston sports fan but will take a fantasy value play wherever he can get it, even if it’s from the Yankees.
Christian McCaffrey is back! And we have a new No. 1 in the rankings this week! Those two facts are unrelated, though, becuase I’ve still got CMC slotted at No. 5. Instead, I’m going with Joe Mixon as my top overlal play in a very favorable matchup with the struggling Dallas defense. Saquon Barkley slides […]

Week 10 was a weird one for wide receivers. It started with piles of fantasy points in the Ravens-Bengals game on Thursday night, including Ja’Marr Chase setting the pace once again. On Sunday, though, there were very few big games with only Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Calvin Ridley and George Pickens getting over 20 fantasy points in […]

Week 10 was an odd week of fantasy football production with much lower scores across the board. In Week 9, the winning entry in the DraftKings Fantasy Football Millionaire posted a jaw-dropping 262.1 fantasy points, but in Week 10 only three of the 150,000+ entries came within 100 points of that score. Regardless of the […]

We’re almost 10 full weeks into the NFL season, and it’s time for a throwback edition of the fantasy football waiver wire! There’s no school like the old school, and as I went through the best options to pick up, it quickly evolved into a “turn back the clock” week. Several former fantasy-relevant players re-emerged […]

A busy Sunday of football in Week 10 wraps up with a marquee matchup between the Lions and Texans in Houston. The Lions’ offense has looked dominant in the last few weeks, and they’ll be getting Jameson Williams ($10,200 as Captain’s Pick in Showdown) back in the lineup after his suspension. Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs […]

Remember when the Saints offense looked like a juggernaut this season after rolling past the Panthers and Cowboys in the first two weeks of the season? That seems like about 100 years ago, and since then, the team has lost seven straight games and cost their head coach his job. Turning things around will be […]

Last week was National Tight Ends Day, and even though it’s a totally made up holiday, it definitely seemed to boost tight end production in Week 8. Week 9 brings another strong slate of games with 12 games on the main Sunday afternoon slate and 30 of 32 NFL teams in action at some point. […]

Every week, wide receivers step up and deliver big games that often decide who wins fantasy football contests. While some of the biggest names reliably produce ever week, there are also options that step up from the fringes that can give your lineup a huge boost. Every Saturday, I’ve been diving into the bargain bin […]

This is the second season in which the NBA has a mid-season tournament as part of its regular season. Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers won the In-Season Tournament, which has been rebranded this […]

The Commanders ruled out Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) for a second straight week as they get ready to host the Steelers in Week 10. Austin Ekeler ($5,800) immediately becomes a fantasy football must-start since he will likely be the primary back, but there is even some fantasy football potential further down the depth chart as […]
