2020 Draft Opportunity Grades: WR Edition

This is Part 2 of the opportunity grades for the rookies receiving significant draft capital from last weekend’s NFL Draft. The first piece covered the quarterback, running back and tight end positions. This piece is solely dedicated to the high-end and deep wide receiver class. I’ll grade opportunity for all 15 wide receivers selected in the first two days, along with a couple of honorable…...

2020 Draft Opportunity Grades: QB, RB and TE Edition

It’s our yearly tradition to assign opportunity grades to all players who received significant draft capital in this past weekend’s draft. With the wide receiver position dominating the sheer volume of skill position players, that position will have its own dedicated piece in Part 2 in this series. I will use the first two days of the draft to define significant draft capital and covering…...

What Should We Make of Bryan Edwards? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile

Bryan Edwards is one of the more divisive prospects in the 2020 wide receiver draft class. Some believe his skill set will demand the NFL draft capital to land him near the back end of the first round of dynasty rookie drafts while others believe that early capital will not come to fruition, and his value will fall to the third round of such drafts…....

Is Albert Okwuegbunam the Top Tight End in the Class? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile

There is at least one inarguable factor working for Albert Okwuegbunam in his quest to be the first tight end drafted, and that is his speed. Are the wheels and other attributes enough to make Albert O. the first tight end off the board? Let’s examine. From The Beginning Okwuegbunam is from Springfield, Illinois, where he attended Sacred Heart-Griffin high school. He played wide receiver…...

Jonathan Taylor Is Exactly Who We Thought He Was

Jonathan Taylor has been a hot devy item for two full seasons now, and it is highly likely the time has finally come for him to make his much anticipated graduation to the NFL. While it is more than likely Taylor will be playing on Sundays next season, we will get one more opportunity to watch him play in a Badgers uniform. Wisconsin plays Oregon…...

Tua Tagovailoa Remains An Elite Prospect: A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile

Tua Tagovailoa was long considered the easily the top quarterback available in the 2020 NFL Draft until two things happened late in 2019. The first is Joe Burrow‘s rapid ascension in 2019. The second more significant occurrence was the dislocated hip he suffered against Mississippi State, ending his season. What does his future hold after the injury? Can he still be the extremely high-end quarterback…...

Is Jonathan Taylor the Perfect Running Back Prospect: A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile

Jonathan Taylor has been a hot devy item for two full seasons now, and it is highly likely the time has finally come for him to make his much anticipated graduation to the NFL.

Week 17 DraftKings Targets: The News Cycle Is Key

As is the case with Week 17 historically, teams locked into the playoffs with little or nothing to gain from a Week 17 win will often be cautious with their key players. This is already reported to be the case with the Bills this week. We could also see the Vikings and/or Texans take this route as well. There is also the possibility of non-playoff…...

NFL Week 16 DraftKings Targets: Full Weekend Of Football

It’s fantasy football championship week, and we might as well carry that cash collection spirit over to the DFS side of things. We’ve got a three-game slate on Saturday with three separate island games, and this is a spot to attack. With the earliest game on Saturday likely to have the most exposure overall, late swapping on otherwise dead lineups is a huge advantage. Be…...

UFC On ESPN+ 23 in Busan: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

This card is a cruel follow-up to the fireworks of UFC 245. It starts at 2 a.m. EST and takes place in Busan, South Korea. There’s zero star power on the card and is the lowest level even the promotion offers. We do have more fights than normal to take more stances on and I think there are some very live dogs with real scoring…...

Week 15 DraftKings Targets: Adapting To The Injury Carnage

The full-blown injury carnage from week 14 brings role changes for a lot of teams, and it potentially changes expectations for whole offenses. With week 15 being among the most important for year-long fantasy leagues as well, instead of breaking this down by position with a few top games, I’m going to hit each game from a DFS perspective, but also try to give some…...

UFC 245: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

After all the lead up to 244, and the card being a bit of a letdown, it’s safe to say this is actually the card of the year. We have three title fights and a full 13 fights for our viewing pleasure. There is also a special MME contest on DraftKings with a top prize of $50,000, and a boost in the size and top

Week 14 DraftKings Targets: Attempting To Snipe Each Game

This is an utterly odd week. We really don’t have any specific games to heavily attack, and it’s one of few in memory where we don’t have a total over 48 points. I expect flat ownership, and I’m not sure there’s a single player on the slate that will turn out to be heavy chalk. With no glaring game to attack or fade due to…...

UFC On ESPN 7 in DC: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

I hope everyone enjoyed the break, but we are back. We get what’s best described as a tune-up card leading up to next week’s utter monster PPV card. There’s not a single fight that’s truly a draw on this card, perhaps save for seeing if there’s a legitimate heavyweight contender in Jair. We get a few fighters coming back after being KO’d in their last

Week 13 DraftKings Targets: Value QBs Open Up Elite Options Elsewhere

Despite having the three-game Thanksgiving slate, we get the same number of games on Sunday that we’ve become accustomed during the bye-week portion of the season. Four of those games have a total under 41 and only one of them has a total over 50 so we might be looking at a low-scoring slate. There isn’t a whole lot to attack in terms of top…...

Week 12 DraftKings Targets: Where Do We Go Without Value?

Before jumping into week 12, a quick review for the tally on week 11. Cash got there bringing us to nine of 11 on the season. Tournaments were more dicey for me. Being too heavy on Mohamed Sanu and Emmanuel Sanders brought a good deal of failure while D.J. Chark, John Brown, and Michael Thomas were the wide receivers to carry some lineups. It was…...

Week 11 DraftKings Targets: Allow Brees To Apologize

Week 10 was a disastrous one from a cash game perspective, and the Drew Brees and David Montgomery plays lead me to the first week of the season of not sniffing the cash line and the second time in ten weeks of not cashing. These two also wrecked tournament lineups and for me personally, it left me with only my Mahomes stacks salvaging some of…...

UFC on ESPN+22 in Sao Paolo: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

This fight night card is an improvement over last week’s Moscow card, and I think it’s safe to say we will have at least one 100-plus point scorer this week after seeing zero last week. At the time of initial writing, there is no screaming value on betting line versus salary, so we may see very spread ownership, and taking stands in the correct spots

Week 10 DraftKings Targets: Don’t Overthink The Smash Game

Week 9 was a smashing success: the Lions and Seahawks passing games got us everywhere we needed to be. We also got there with help from Zach Ertz, Damien Williams and Christian McCaffrey in tournaments. Cash is now eight for nine on the season and this week is set up to keep it rolling. We have another short slate here in week 10, just 10…...

UFC On ESPN+ 21 in Moscow: DraftKings and Betting Targets

I do enjoy the morning fight night cards, but more the eastern European ones that give us a start time not in the middle of the night. This one kicks off at 11 a.m. EST and has 13 fights. There may be an advantage to be had on the field in both cash and tournaments this week with an odd diversion from the norm in the
