Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jon Lester and Michael Wacha in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets Clayton Kershaw FD 10700 DK 13800 Opponent - SF (Suarez) Park - @SFFD - 33.72 DK - 22.44 Happy Kershaw Day everyone! I mean do I really have to explain this pick? You already know the drill, right? You don't! Ugh, I guess I'll go ahead and give you a little recap about Kershaw. Kershaw has been one of the most, if not the most dominant pitcher in baseball over the last few seasons. He's an absolute force when on the mound and has the highest ceiling. He's that good! The matchup isn't the best against the Giants, but it's Kershaw were talking about! He will be pitching at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park, and isn't too expensive. If your playing cash games, you know where to start. Hisashi Iwakuma FD 8000 DK 8200 Opponent - OAK (Cotton) Park - @SEAFD - 31.19 DK - 20.41 Hisashi Iwakuma is at an excellent price-point, has a great matchup and has had a solid season. What more could you ask for? Eh, maybe a million dollars, but if were talking about selecting a DFS pitcher, he's one of the best SP2 out there tonight! He'll be going up against an A's squad that he's had success against this season. He's delivered a quality start in three out of the four outings against them. Not only does he have their number, but they have also been cold. In their last 14 contest, they possess a .278 wOBA (27th in MLB), 74 wRC+ (26th in MLB) and .144 ISO (21st in MLB). Iwakuma...
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 10/1/16
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 10/1/16 Welcome to our daily article breaking down some of the other stacking targets on this slate. We covered our system's top value plays in our daily picks article and pitching breakdown but here we will look at other dudes to consider. In case you didn’t notice, on Saturday we released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and Player Lab which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a robust set of tools; well beyond anything we’ve ever had and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. SIGN UP NOW! A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Stacking in DFS MLB is such an important concept if you’re looking to take down a big tournament on FanDuel or DraftKings. It’s also a good way to diversify cash games because the variance in baseball can mean wild swings (ahem) in the scoring on a particular slate. The concept is easy. You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good. Stack Targets Early Slate New York Mets vs. Phil Klein (PHI) The pressure is on. Teams are fighting for postseason spots. Jobs are on the line. You're giving it all you got left in the tank. Emotions are higher than ever. It's October baseball baby! Happy October everyone! So without further ado, lets dive into my top three stacks of the day! First on the list are the New York Mets. They will be going up against Phil Klein, who has an ERA over 8. Although, It's not fair to judge him based on that, you have to admit -- 8 is a very intriguing number. He's only got one MLB start under his belt and the rest of his appearances came out of the pen. So I see this becoming a bullpen game for the 'Phils, which is also why I'm on this Mets' squad. The Phillies' bullpen has been one of the worst in the league, as they are sporting a 5.04 ERA (3rd-worst in MLB). The Mets are fighting to maintain their postseason hopes alive and have a beautiful matchup, which is why I'm all over these guys tonight. My top 4 guys to stack: Jay Bruce, Jose...

Jimmy Graham (knee) practiced in full on Friday and should be out there on Sunday. Matt Forte (knee) was removed from the injury repot on Friday. Charles Clay (knee) was a limited participate in Friday's practice and is considered questionable. If he does play, he'll be on a snap-count. Michael Floyd (concussion) was removed from the injury report, which means he'll play on Sunday. Tavon Austin (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday, and it looks like he'll suit up on Sunday. Jamaal Charles (knee) will make his 2016 debut on Sunday! It will be interesting to see what type of roll he has in his first game back, but he's not in play for me this week. Dez Bryant (knee) has a hairline fracture in his knee and looks doubtful for Sunday. Willie Snead (toe) was a limited participate in Friday's practice.

Jimmy Graham (knee) practiced on Wednesday, but did not participate on Thursday. It is unclear if this was simply a day off for the veteran or if he's hurting. We'll consider him questionable for now, and I will give you an update on Saturday. Matt Forte (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and will play on Sunday. Chris Ivory (thumb) practiced in full on Thursday and will play on Sunday. He's still splitting carries and a bit rusty, so he won't be on my radar this week. Tevin Coleman (ankle) has been a limited participate at practice this week, but is probable for Sunday. Charles Clay (knee) was a limited participate in Thursday's practice and is considered questionable. He is only a GPP play for me as he could be on a snap-count. Michael Floyd (concussion) was able to practice in full on Thursday and looks like he'll play Sunday. Tavon Austin (shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice, but will play on Sunday. Jamaal Charles (knee) continues to be a limited participate in practice and his status for Sunday is still unknown. I will make sure to keep you updated Dez Bryant (knee) has a hairline fracture in his knee and his status is unclear. My guess is that he sits out this week. I will keep you updated on his status as well....
