Jayden Daniels was someone I was definitely going to look at, but no Deebo and no Terry is just too much for me to back him at high ownership. AMBUSH PLAY JUSTIN HERBERT (DK: $6400, FD: $7600) I’m going all in here on Herbert.  He has been one of the most consistent options, is good at […]

BEST GAMES Baylor at TCU:  QB dominant game, sets up as the best game stack option. Georgia Tech at Duke:  Should be a fun one.  Said literally nobody ever about a Georgia Tech / Duke football game in mid October.  Well, times are a changing my friend. Texas Tech at Arizona State:  You, me, your […]

TOP FOCUS LINES DEVILS:   Hughes – Bratt – Palat HURRICANES:  Aho, Jarvis, Gostisbehere KNIGHTS:  Eichel – Stone – Theodore   SECONDARY SPOTS AVALANCHE:   Second line here, Nelson-Nichushkin-Landeskog SENATORS:  Stuetzle, Batherson, Sanderson (PP).  Mostly like Batherson at his price.   SLEEPER GAME STACK OILERS vs ISLANDERS:   Love Draisaitl maybe at low ownership here and the Islanders […]

AMBUSH CORE PLAY DRAKE MAYE Maye’s ability to extend plays with enough quality skill players around him should keep the Patriots on the field offensively a good amount today for extended drives.  In the old days when we could roster kickers, I would say this is an automatic QB+Kicker correlation day to get points every […]

Very short on time this week, so not much narrative. These are my top overall games Va Tech at Ga Tech Pittsburgh at Florida State TCU at Kansas State Indiana at Oregon:  This one delivers, but tricky to stack in DFS.  One or two max.     TOP PLAYS Tommy Catsellanos (FSU) – This is […]

CAPITALS:  Pardon the homer in me but the Caps are a really good team in my mind & in DFS evaluations they present a ton of options each slate because they’re young and kinda spread out. I’m excited to watch a full season of Ryan Leonard & that entire third line is going to be […]

WEATHER No issues, but wind is blowing out in Comerica.   CAM SCHLITTER (DK: $8700, FD: $9800) … My guess is that Schlitter’s ownership is going to be higher than it should be just based off his performance against Boston in the Wild Card winner.  But I cannot argue with using him here even if we are paying the ownership fee as well. YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO (DK: $9000, FD: $10.3k) … Sometimes in the playoffs in DFS you just have to bite that bullet knowing your SP is going to give up a HR to a core bat.  Today I have that mindset with Yamamoto facing Harper/Schwarber as tough spots — but he will get through 5 with 8+ strikeouts and we can’t really find much else on this slate to match it. OTHER PITCHER THOUGHTS Jameson Taillon:  If we wanted a cheaper guy to take a risk on to face Schlitter/Yamamoto it has to be J.T.  He’s been good at Wrigley for the most part and wind is not an issue.  I like Chicago to win this game & so lean him for the win over Priester. Aaron Nola:  Expect Nola to have 3 lights out innings and then one trouble inning.  No reason to really push here as Philly is on the brink and has plenty of arms available to use if he gets into a jam. Bryce Miller/Casey Mize:  Runs in this game for sure, no thanks   MARINERS vs TIGERS:  All in on the first game of the day and a heavy lean on the Tigers.  Carpenter/Greene/McKinstry with Torkelson finally delivering a HUGE bases clearing double.  Book it.  Detroit scores 7+ Cubs / Yankees / Phils / Dodgers one offs FAVORITE OVERALL BATTERS CATCHER: Anyone will do FIRST:  Deep position, Torkelson for DFS, Harper/Freeman for props. Torkelson Harper Freeman SECOND: Keith Noerner THIRD: Suarez Chisholm SHORT: Punt … OUTFIELD: Greene Schwarber Springer Carpenter   Bryce Harper – 1B – Philadelphia Phillies – Chairman of The Dongers Club Riley Greene – OF – Tigers Kerry Carpenter – OF – Tigers George Springer – OF – Blue Jays BETS Jays / Yankees UNDER 8.5 Mariners / Tigers OVER 8.5 Tigers ML Cubs ML  

Quick DFS and betting reminder of the week You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be right.  Kinda like in life you dont need to be a good person you just need to do good things.  Or something philosophical like that. The point is — I don’t need to pay attention to […]

The narrative going into the Divisional round is naturally going to be that the teams who had the BYE are at the disadvantage of having almost a full week off.  Teams have been better now about their scrimmages but certainly until the narrative is destroyed it will remain.  I think it dies down personally, so I am not leaning on it too much but the Mariners and Blue Jays are two teams I could see getting bit by it.   SERIES PREVIEWS Yes, I am still on the Phillies Yes, I am still on the Blue Jays — They have to win it in 5 though and I wouldn’t be shocked if the first four games all went to to the road teams. Slight lean on the Tigers, but I do not feel confident about their offense Lean on the Brewers, but boy this is the best series of them all.   WEATHER All clear – we have three dome series in this round, so that is … nice?   I guess?   Good weather in Philly though.   Christopher Sanchez (DK: $8700, FD: $9500) … Why am I not worried about Philly without Wheeler in the playoffs?  This guy.  He exceeded expectations for me and should be down right amped up for this game. George Kirby (DK: $8500, FD: $10k) … As I mentioned, Detroits offense is making me nervous about them advancing. Freddy Peralta (DK: $8300, FD: $9400) … Strikeout upside hopefully offsets the Seiya Suzuki 2 HR game.     PHILLIES I think Ohtani starting in this game is a massive mistake by the Dodgers & will end up being the main reason they lose the series.  He’s going to get Ambushed by Philly. Turner, Schwarber, Bohm YANKEES If any of the first round offenses likely carry over here, it’s New York.  Judge gets to head to Toronto which is going to be a nightmare for the Jays & a benefit for the man behind him — Mr. Bellinger most likely. Also like Vlad, Varsho & Santander in this series for Toronto. CUBS/BREWERS Suzuki & Happ Turang / Durbin / Collins … Cubs bullpen has been much improved — that ends in this series.   Kyle Schwarber – OF – Phillies – Chairman of The Dongers Club Seiya Suzki – OF – Cubs   BETS Cubs/Brewers OVER 7.5 Yankees ML Phillies ML Tigers ML … The value is just […]

KANSAS STATE at BAYLOR This game is not your optimal cash game stack, but it’s a GPP dream for the “content’ crowd.  Avery Johnson vs Sawyer Robertson, but mid to low owned.  Dylan Edwards, Jayce Brown, Bryson Washington/Caden Knighten, Josh Cameron.  Lots of options to stack here, costly but easily the game that you can […]
