Brad Hayward studies DFS and uses his experience to pass along his most optimal lineup for Saturday’s busy slate of games.
As the calendar flips to November the first month of the NHL season is in the books. How about some early fantasy MVP’s? Well of course Connor McDavid leads the way but that’s a surprise to no one. Some other notable performances early on are the resurgence of Erik Karlsson and his ten goals on [...]
After Tuesday, I’ve decided to take the easy way out - just pick Edmonton’s top power play, the best goalkeeper, and leave the rest of the card blank. If this works one time in five, you’d be ahead! Ok, back to reality. Consecutive shutouts in the World Series, and I’m taking the “over” tonight. For [...]
Coming down from my sugar-high, as I had fewer trick-or-treaters than I’d bought candy for…. I think Tage Thompson probably understands this “high” after his 6-point, 9-shot night, eh? But getting down to business, I was looking at unsustainable numbers both for highs and lows, and drawing up potential stacks for fantasy plays tonight. With [...]
With the third DFS Saturday of the season on tap and many teams having played eight or more games, we’re starting to get a bit of a feel on how teams are looking with so many new faces in new places each season. We’re not even a 1/10th of the way through the season though, [...]
Happy Halloween! First, my “costume” for this past Tuesday, as an NHL prognosticator, didn’t win any contest but wasn’t totally torn in half either. Marc-Andre Fleury shined in Montreal (26 saves on 27 shots, 0.963 Sv%), and while neither Artemi Panarin nor Aleksander Barkov found the scoresheet, they totaled 12 shots on goal, so the [...]
Today I’m beginning the transition from Yahoo DFS to the DraftKings site, which I prefer - although today I’ve intentionally made my selections similar for comparison. I’d prefer not to celebrate my results from Thursday, first truly spectacular “miss” of the season. For today and Thursday, I’ll list both the Yahoo and DraftKings fantasy costs. [...]
If you read last week’s article, I hope you found some of the DFS tips I shared helpful. If you missed that one, I suggest going back and reading through the intro of that here. As for this week, I wanted to take a minute to talk about some of the tools we have available [...]
So I hit the nail squarely on its head Tuesday, with my New Jersey coming-out party. Dougie Hamilton, Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and Mackenzie Blackwood totaling 54.5 fantasy points, AND then my foresight of Philly and Buffalo traveling into Tampa and Edmonton and coming away with road wins…. Yeah, you didn’t see that coming either. [...]
The season has started, and some teams have outperformed expectations (Boston, Vegas, Philly), while others have laid the proverbial eggs (Vancouver, Minnesota, Ottawa). Trust me, no team will be 82-0 or 0-82 by mid-April, so those deep breathing exercises might be warranted. For today’s matchups, I’m choosing to focus on the New Jersey Devils. Two [...]
The first DFS Saturday of the NHL season has arrived! It seems like just yesterday we were building showdown lineups for 3-0 games. Actually, come to think of it that was me last night for the first half of the Bears-Commanders NFL game, oops. Shifting back to hockey, the first Saturday is loaded with all [...]
