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.
I hope everyone enjoyed the few days off of the fantasy grind over the All-Star break. Things got back rolling this week and the next few days are a good primer in leading up to what is typically the best time of year to play daily fantasy hockey. That time is the NBA All-Star break [...]
I’ve enjoyed my all-star break without being sucked into the silliness, whether pro football’s “flag football” game, or Sergei Ovechkin scoring on Igor Shesterkin. (Sergei is draft-eligible in 2036, for dynasty league planning.) And today is the first day since January 28th with even seven games on the schedule - a light night for a [...]
For the NHL daily fantasy player, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is we have a nice nine-game slate on tap for us on this DFS Saturday. Personally, I consider the 7-9 game range the sweet spot, as it’s not too many games that you get bogged down looking [...]
The Canucks fell back to reality last night after a very good performance for Rick Tocchet’s initial game. Two statistics stand out: first, this was the Kraken’s only win against their northern neighbor in their existence (now 1-5-1), and second, when I gave up at the mid-point of the 2nd period, the combination of Bo [...]
I’m looking at an 11-game smörgåsbord menu - pick what you like - and there aren’t really any matchups that seem badly unbalanced. Should be a fun night to watch scores (although I’ll do so from within the PPG arena in Pittsburgh). I’m going to go with the Pennsylvania teams, absolutely a first for me, [...]
Another Saturday and another large slate available to us for daily fantasy. This week the slate features 11 games, down slightly from the 13 we had last week, but a big one none the less. We have no shortage of firepower here either with teams like Toronto, Edmonton, and Colorado on the schedule. After reading [...]
So, I’ll think through the daily fantasy reasoning first today. There are many ways to look at tonight’s 13-game slate. We can look at home teams playing against weaker defense and goaltending (Flyers v. Hawks, Blue Jackets v. Ducks, Golden Knights v. Red Wings) or maybe good teams hosting back-to-back squads playing on the road [...]
There are some really good matchups tonight, at least on paper. Florida, fighting to retain relevance in the East’s playoff hunt, are visiting a Toronto club that’s seen both Auston Matthews and John Tavares average over a point-per-game since Christmas. The Cats might be starting Alex Lyon (per GoaliePost). The Leafs won’t lose three in [...]
If you’re a fan of big slates, have we got the one for you today! A whopping 28 teams are in action on this Saturday, 26 of which fall on the main slate. While we are no stranger to large slates, this is one of the biggest we’ll see all season. Admittedly, I find these [...]
I hope everyone reading this article had a safe and happy New Year. This week was a good reminder that while we may be fanatical about sports, teams, and the fantasy games derived from them - at the end of the day it is just a game. The injury to NFL player Damar Hamlin on [...]
