Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jake Arrieta and Jeff Samardzija in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets David Price FD 10600 DK 11600 Opponent - NYY (Mitchell) Park - @BOS FD - 37.81 DK - 24.69 Mmmmm... Where should I start.... I'll go ahead and start off by talking about Vegas. The Red Sox are heavily favored to win this game, and when I say "heavily" I mean it. It's a -285 money line on their side and I understand why. David Price is on the bump for the the Red Sox today and he's been phenomenal as of late. In his last five outings, he's sporting a 0.72 WHIP along with a 29.3 K% and 2.00 ERA. He's been the dominant David Price we've seen in the past and I don't see the Bombers slowing him down. Another reason why the money line is ridiculously high is because Bryan Mitchell is pitching for the Yankees. He only has two MLB starts under his belt, and going to Fenway to pitch against this loaded lineup is never an easy task. I expect Price to have some run support and to keep his hot-streak going. Arrieta will be the chalk play of the day, but I really like Price in all formats as well. Yu Darvish FD 10800 DK 12200 Opponent - OAK (Alcantara) Park - @TEX FD - 36.94 DK - 23.97 This guy is an absolute force when he's on the hill. I know he hasn't pitched much this season, but...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! NFL News and Notes Jamaal Charles (ACL) was limited in Thursday's practice. It doesn't look like he will suit up this week, so you can expect Spencer Ware to be the starter, but he will split carries with Charcandrick West. Markus Wheaton (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday and is expected to play Sunday. Demaryius Thomas is still listed as day-to-day with a hip injury. I will keep you posted on his status, but for now, we'll consider him questionable. Chris Ivory was released from the hospital and is still questionable for Sunday's game. If he's unable to go, look for T.J. Yeldon to get a lot of touches this week. T.Y. Hilton is considered questionable for Sunday with an apparent knee injury he suffered in practice. I will keep you posted on his status. Zack Ertz (ribs) sat out again Thursday and I don't expect him to suit up Monday. Trey Burton is expected to be the Eagles "receiving tight end." You can also expect Jordan Matthews to get a ton of targets. Kendall Wright (hamstring) will not suit up once again in Week 2. You can expect for Tajae Sharpe to continue to get his targets. Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) still isn't 100% and is considered questionable for now. We will keep you updated on his status Devonte Parker (hamstring) was able to practice Thursday and looks like he will suit up for Sunday....
Daily Fantasy Football News, Notes and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 1 9/11/16
Daily Fantasy Football News, Notes and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 1 9/11/16 In this article, we'll be breaking down the top news around the league and provide you with an analysis of what we expect to happen. We will also provide you with a "sneaky play" section, just like we did for baseball. So let's welcome football back into our lives, and let's get this show on the show on the road!

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! NFL News, Notes and Updates Rob Gronkowski(NE) It's official -- Rob Gronkowski has been ruled out for Week 1. He's been bothered by a hamstring injury, so he didn't travel with the team. So here's what we can expect from the Patriots: Martellus Bennett will now be TE1 and will get a ton of opportunities. You can also expect Julian Edelman to be even more heavily involved in the offense and we can see a little more of James White as well. Going up against the Cardinals will be no easy task, but these guys are very affordable and will get plenty of opportunities to make something happen. Chiefs RB Situation(KC) Jamal Charles has officially been ruled out for Week 1, as he is still recovering from his ACL injury last season. So here's what we can expect from the Kansas City Chiefs: Spencer Ware will be the starter for Sunday, but all three running backs will play. Coach Reid isn't telling us fantasy players what we want to hear, which is why I consider Ware a tournament play only. He will most likely ride with the hot-hand, so whoever gets hot first will get the majority of the carries. Ware is the starter, so if he gets hot early, you can expect him to get a whole lot of playing time. It's a tricky situation, but out of the three backs, Ware is...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Max Scherzer and Jonathan Gray in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets Rich Hill FD 9200 DK 11300 Opponent - MIA (Koehler) Park - @MIAFD - 36.01 DK - 23.59 Rich Hill is a guy I'd throw in tournaments, as we have a ton of great pitching options and he might be overlooked. He'll be going up against a Marlins' club that has struggled mightily over the last two weeks, as they own a .284 wOBA (26th in MLB) and .126 ISO (25th in MLB). This ball club has fallen apart and has not been to hit as of late, which is why I'm a fan of Hill's. Besides the appealing matchup, Hill is a guy that provides us a ton upside. He is boasting a 28.5 K% to go along with a 1.03 WHIP and 3.56 xFIP. The veteran has been stellar this year, so go ahead and plug him into some of your lineups. Felix Hernandez FD 9900 DK 8500 Opponent - OAK (Graveman) Park - @OAKFD - 32.28 DK - 21.46 I know Hernandez has looked bad in his last two starts, but we need to give him a pass. They were against the red-hot Texas Rangers and it's never easy to go up against the same team twice. So take it easy on the former Cy-Young award winner and let me tell you why I like the northpaw. Yes, King Felix's walks are high and strikeout percentage doesn't hit...
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 9/10/16
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 9/10/16 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.

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 Texas Rangers vs. Daniel Wright (LAA) Daniel Wright owns an ERA over 7 and an xFIP over 5, so it's safe to say it has not gone his way so far in the big leagues. Granted, he's only pitched in 13 MLB innings this season, so the sample size is just too small. So why exactly am I picking on him you may be asking yourselves? Well, it's because he's going up against the Texas Rangers. Do you know who owns the highest wOBA over the last two weeks? You guessed it -- it's the Rangers! Not only are they on top in that category, but they also own a .213 ISO (5th in MLB). They are hitting the crap out of baseball and I see that continuing today against the rookie. My top 4 guys to stack: Rougned Odor, Adrian Beltre, Carlos Beltran and Ian Desmond. Minnesota Twins vs. Mike Clevinger(CLE) Clevinger has 37 innings of work in the big leagues and it has not been pretty. He's sporting an ERA over...
