Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice

Andrew Santillo studies DFS and uses his experience to pass along his most optimal lineup for busy slates of games on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

DFS Tuesday: Carolina Hosting Chicago; St. Louis to Surprise Toronto

The NHL season is just about at the 40% mark for 2022-23, but most of our fantasy leagues have hit the halfway milestone. In a standard 12-team league, we’ve just finished round #11, meaning you have opposed each of your mates once. Time to take account - are you comfortably in, fighting for a playoff [...]

DFS Thursday: Flames Looking to Torch Kings; Minnesota Strong Options Again

By |2022-12-22T12:47:15-05:00December 22nd, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

I saved Christmas week for my “What’s Wrong With…” piece on the Colorado Avalanche - I planned to be charitable until some of the research and statistics that follow. Wrong, you say?  The Avs have been considered strong options, if not favorites, to repeat as Stanley Cup champions! Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Mikko Ranranen, those [...]

DFS Tuesday: Tarasenko and Buchnevich on a Back To Back; Flyers Have Advantage over Blue Jackets

By |2022-12-20T10:32:47-05:00December 20th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

Last night, I stayed up a bit past my bedtime to watch the rare dual-shutout game between the New York Islanders and Colorado Avalanche.  Two comments - first, the outstanding save by Ilya Sorokin with just six seconds left in OT, just wow. https://www.puckfeed.com/videos/14322753 Second, Evan Rodrigues won the night’s first star for his shootout [...]

DFS Thursday: Oilers Can Romp Blues; Igor Shesterkin Turning Season Around

By |2022-12-15T09:12:57-05:00December 15th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

My Tuesday DFS picks hit the nail squarely, leading off with the mismatch of Anaheim and Toronto. I’d obviously have won a larger part of the pot if I was clairvoyant (Connor Timmins’s three assists?), yeah. But a win is a win.  Moving on to my Thursday feature of “What’s Wrong With… (2022 playoff teams),” [...]

DFS Tuesday: Leafs Looming Large; Goals in Buffalo; Tomas Hertl Against Arizona

By |2022-12-13T12:21:30-05:00December 13th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

Last night’s games were a fantasy-hockey dreamland for goalies, with five of the six games played having three or fewer goals scored. If my math skills haven’t failed me, the combined save percentage for the 12 netminders was 0.945. Offensive kudos to Evgeni Malkin and Brayden Schenn, each scoring dramatic game-winners after 9-game scoring droughts.   [...]

DFS Saturday: Penguin Power

Before getting into our Saturday slate, we have to give recognition to Tage Thompson who put up one of the greatest daily fantasy performances of all-time on Wednesday. With five goals, nine shots, and an assist Thompson put up 70.0 DraftKings points by himself. That’s the most fantasy points by a player that I was [...]

DFS Thursday: Stars and Leafs Looking For Home Cooking; Anthony Cirelli Ready to Break Through

By |2022-12-08T08:56:00-05:00December 8th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

News of the morning has to start with Tage Thompson. His 5-points (4G,1A) in the first period against Columbus was crazy enough, yes?  Almost an afterthought that he added a fifth.  Thompson has Rocket-ed to third in the NHL goals race.  My DFS+ starts with my Thursday feature, “What’s Wrong With… (2022 playoff teams only)?”  [...]

DFS Tuesday: Lightning Striking the Red Wings; Carolina Visits Struggling Anaheim

By |2022-12-06T10:55:00-05:00December 6th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

Last night I went to bed before the west coast game but had a DFS play (mostly) matching my deepest fantasy league - four Canadiens (Suzuki drafted, and FA’s Sean Monahan, Mike Matheson, and Kaiden Guhle) and two Canucks (Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko, both drafted). Hmm, four goals, six assists, but only plus-2 combined, [...]
