Brad Hayward studies DFS and uses his experience to pass along his most optimal lineup for Saturday’s busy slate of games.
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 [...]
I might be getting the hang of this. Tuesday was my third “win” in a row, although not as much as last week, simply doubling my $4 bet. No, I didn’t have any of Anton Forsberg’s shutout, or Matthew Tkachuk’s or Tage Thompson’s hat tricks, so the top tier was far above me. Moving to [...]
The Winter Classic was indeed a good and truly “classic” and entertaining game, unless you’re a Penguins fan. The Pens are now 1-4-2 in their last 7 games, and the team that was 18-8-4 as of December 15th is now struggling to hold onto the second wild card spot in the East. Sidney Crosby and [...]
We have reached the final slate of the year 2022 and what a better way to keep yourself awake for the ball drop than by sweating an Edmonton-Winnipeg game as the clock approaches midnight! Likely thanks to the schedule makers trying to avoid New Year’s Eve festivities, many of the games for this Saturday have [...]
First, to continue my series of “What’s Wrong With…,” today’s focus is on the Florida Panthers. Last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners are struggling to even stay relevant at this point, currently nine points out of a playoff spot and 12th in the Eastern Conference - as Matthew Tkachuk aptly put it, “the playoffs start now.” [...]
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 [...]
