Brad Hayward studies DFS and uses his experience to pass along his most optimal lineup for Saturday’s busy slate of games.
What a whirlwind week it’s been in the NHL with perhaps the most active trade deadline I can remember. Even for someone like me who keeps pretty close tabs on player news, it was tough to keep up with all the moves. If you have the time, I suggest going back through our Ramblings columns [...]
The frenzy that’s been a trade deadline WEEK isn’t likely to be done a day early - I’ve been following the Dobber hockey authors for their takes on the fantasy implications, and the forum for the hysteria (LOL). Certainly, the Rangers, Devils and Maple Leafs have made big splashes into the pool of available talent, [...]
I spent much of last week’s article talking up the slate as one of the best of the year for an NHL DFS player. Unfortunately for me, my lineups did not cooperate. For anyone reading, hopefully you made out better and were able to turn the night into a success. If your lineups were more [...]
We’ve reached one of the best times of the year to play NHL DFS, and we have NBA All-Star weekend to thank. With no NBA games on the schedule, the NFL having obviously completed their season last weekend, and MLB still a few weeks away from starting up – the NHL is quite literally the [...]
Wow, what a tense and exciting game between Tampa and Arizona last night! Not at all what I anticipated, how about you? In the shootout, Connor Ingram bested two of three likely Hall of Famers, and came out with the 47-save shutout. This isn’t really fantasy relevant however, as Ingram is rostered in only 3% [...]
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, [...]
