With Thanksgiving over, the college football season is winding down. Week 14 marks the final regular season slate for most teams, as conference championship games start on Dec. 7.

Sunday’s Week 13 slate features 11 games with plenty of potential for firepower from big-time DFS point earners like Patrick Mahomes and Christian McCaffrey.

CFB DFS: Put Charlie Brewer, Chuba Hubbard in Your Lineups This Week
We are entering college football’s stretch run, as there will be just one more week before conference championship games begin. The day slate features plenty of interesting matchups, and I’ll focus mostly on the Big 12 as I craft my DFS lineups. Quarterbacks Charlie Brewer, Baylor ($7,900 on DraftKings, $10,100 […]
NFL DFS: The Best Value Players This Week
This week, more than most, looks to be a slate where you should roster mid-tier players. No quarterback is priced above $7,000 on DraftKings, while nearly all running backs will cost less than $8,000 (the superhuman Christian McCaffrey being the major exception). As we usually find, there are solid options […]

The Indianapolis Colts visit the Houston Texans in this week’s Thursday night NFL game, with the Texans sitting at 3.5-point favorites in a game with an over/under of 46.5, according to Vegas oddsmakers. The salaries are pretty high for some favorites like Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, and Jacoby Brissett this […]

Target Brady White and the Memphis-Houston Game in CFB DFS
Saturday’s college football slate includes some SEC and Big 12 matchups that could be high scoring, but it’s the American Athletic Conference game between Memphis and Houston that could provide this week’s DFS bounty. I’ll be heavily targeting Memphis quarterback Brady White and his receivers, but we’ll also need some […]
Baker Mayfield & Browns Take on Steelers in Thursday Night DFS Showdown
Thursday’s night NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns seems likely to be a grind-it-out matchup, as oddsmakers have set the over/under at 40.5, and deemed the Browns a 2.5 favorite. On its face, it seems like a game that, in the DFS world, would favor running […]

In a week in which Christian McCaffrey’s salary is a whopping $10,500 on DraftKings, we definitely have to find some value down low if we want to roster players of his caliber. As always seems to be the case, there are some good players to be had for less than […]
‘Bama and LS Who? Target SMU and Shane Buechele in DFS Instead
Saturday marks what may be the biggest game of the college football season when LSU visits Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama. Normally, the game is a slog, as those who witnessed that 9-6 LSU victory in 2011 can attest. This year may be different, however, as the over/under is 64, […]
Chargers & Philip Rivers Face Raiders in Thursday Night DFS Showdown
Thursday’s night game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Oakland Raiders is shaping up to be a hard-nosed battle between AFC rivals playing on short rest. Oddsmakers have pegged the Chargers as 1-point road favorites in a game with an over/under of 47.5. I expect the running backs to […]

Fortunately, there are opportunities to get solid players at cheap salaries at most positions. Here’s […]
College Football DFS: UCF’s Dillon Gabriel Looks to Shine
The Saturday afternoon college football DFS slate is lacking the firepower we’re used to seeing. There is no Oklahoma or LSU on the schedule. There are also no powerhouse appearances from schools like Alabama, Clemson, or Ohio State. The lower salaries on the slate make more lineup concoctions possible, with […]
Thursday Night Showdown: Could it be a Monster Game for George Kittle?
Thursday’s night game may be a spooky one for the Arizona Cardinals as the San Francisco 49ers, their ferocious defense, and big tight end George Kittle look to scare up some big points. The 49ers are looking better and better as the season progresses, and are 7-point favorites tonight. This […]
Target These Four Players in Monday Night’s DFS Showdown
The woeful Miami Dolphins visit the Pittsburgh Steelers for this week’s Monday Night Football game.

Target These Players in Tonight’s Thursday Night Showdown
On this Thursday’s slate, the Washington Redskins travel to the Minnesota Vikings in what’s expected to be a lopsided game, with the Vikings a 16-point favorite and the over/under set at 41. That implies oddsmakers are anticipating a score of about 28-13, which means tonight’s cash-game lineups should focus on […]
