GPP Leverage Plays for Daily Fantasy NFL Week 12 on FanDuel and DraftKings
GPP Leverage Plays for Daily Fantasy NFL Week 12 on FanDuel and DraftKings Welcome back football fans. James covered the top cash game plays for Week 12 in his Cash Game Article and then Doug joined him on the Mega Podcast where they broke down every game and relevant DFS play. I will now take a look at some leverage plays that could be possibly low owned making them excellent GPP plays. Let's get started. When projecting ownership for GPP purposes, I use the tools over at FanShareSports. They curate thousands of pieces of content in articles, tweets, videos, podcasts, etc and put it all together into easy to use tools for building DFS lineups.

James White FD 6100 DK 5300 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 9.8 DK - 12.02 I will start with James White who won't be extremely low owned but at 13th in tags on FanShare, will most definitely be outside the Top 10 in ownership at the position. With the Patriots sitting as 6.5-point home favorites, you would think the game script would favor Sony Michel but he has been absolutely terrible lately averaging just 41.8 rushing yards per game over his last four games. While White has not flashed big-game upside yet in 2019 he has been very consistent averaging 12.9 DK/10.3 FD points per game on just 9.4 touches per game. The matchup also favors White over Michel as the Cowboys 17th ranked DVOA rush defense has allowed the 11th fewest rushing yards to running backs but the 6th most receiving yards. With the consistency and lack of mid-range options with that tag, I would consider White a cash-game play and feel we could also see the ceiling game at a reduced ownership which is perfect for GPP formats. Joe Mixon FD 6700 DK 5900 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 13.07 DK - 14.08 Everything about this game says stay away for fantasy as it has the second-lowest Vegas total(38.5) on the slate between two teams who rank bottom 5 in pace on the season. While I 100% agree with the fade for cash games, I think there is some opportunity to get some very low ownership on a talented player in Joe Mixon. It has been a roller coaster ride for Mixon all season in terms not only production but usage as well but the good news is that...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/21/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us another monster slate with 13 games on the schedule with none of the 26 teams playing on a back to back or third game in four nights. Let's jump in and take a look at some of my core, GPP, and value plays at each position. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NHL optimizer!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $8800 DK - $8500 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 20.63 DK - 14.95 We get a monster 13-game slate on Thursday with a ton of goalie options and I will be starting at the top with Tuukka Rask who is already confirmed and the biggest favorite(-220) on the slate. He has gone 6-2-2 with .920 save % over his last 10 games and has been money at home having yet to lose in regulation time(5-0-2) and has tallied an elite .940 save % with two shutouts. What stands out the most is the matchup against the Sabres who have lost two straight and eight of their last nine games while scoring just two goals per game. All things considered, Rask is my top goalie in all formats. Pekka Rinne FD - $8100 DK - $7900 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.16 DK - 12.11 Juuse Saros FD - $7400 DK - $7700 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.46 DK - 12.37 It is a very similar situation for the Preds tonight who are at home as big favorites(-185) against a struggling team in the Canucks who have dropped three straight and seven of their last eight and sit with the 24th-ranked road offense overall. Rinne is currently projected to start after being pulled in his last game and comes in with terrible form having given up four or more goals in four of his last five after a red-hot start to the season. I am not buying the regression narrative around the 37-year-old former Vezina winner(2017-18 season) and will take advantage of a price drop for a goalie in a plus matchup. Saros isn't really making any case to take over starter duties but if he were to get the nod tonight, I would definitely consider him in GPP formats at his price in this matchup. Also Consider: Jordan Binnington(STL) who is 7-2-1 with a .926 save % in his last 10...

The RSM Classic The final full-field event of 2019 is here as the PGA Tour travels to the Sea Island Resort in Georgia for the RSM Classic. With a strong field in Dubai for the DP World Tour Championship, this event lacks the star power but is still led by Webb Simpson(#12) and Matt Kuchar(#22) who are both ranked inside the Top 25 in the Official World Golf Rankings. This is also a week where a multi-course rotation is used for the first two days. Each golfer will play one round on the Seaside course and one round on the Plantation course on Thursday and Friday and all golfers who make the cut(Top 65 & ties) will play their final two rounds on the Seaside course only. The two-course rotation at this event started back in 2015 with just the Seaside course used in previous years. Let's take a look at the courses with the most emphasis going into the Seaside which will host three of the four rounds. Sea Island Resort(Seaside Course) Par 70 - 7,005 Yards The Seaside Course is a Links-Style Par 70 that comes in on the shorter side at just over 7,000 yards. The fairways are average width but with a ton of danger lurking outside the fairway(water, thick rough, native areas), golfers will once again be heavy on a "Less than Driver" strategy off the tee. Because of this, we have seen the average driving accuracy over 70% almost every year since. The greens are also larger than average(7,200 sq feet) which drives up the Greens in Regulation number putting emphasis on not only Proximity but we also see, for the most part, good or at least above average putters do well here. It is the harder of the two course's but there will be bridies as it has ranked outside the Top 25 in difficulty in...

GOALIE Ben Bishop FD - $8900 DK - $8300 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.02 DK - 12.2 Bishop was pulled after allowing three goals on 15 shots in Edmonton on Saturday but I am not concerned about the 11-year vet whatsoever. For starters, before that loss, he had held opponents to two or fewer goals in seven straight and has been much better on home ice with a .941 save %(.909 save % on the road). Tonight, he and the Stars are -150 home favorites against a Canucks team who has lost six of their last seven games while scoring just 2.3 goals per game. Bishop is an excellent play in all formats. Marc-Andre Fleury FD - $8900 DK - $8100 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 17.96 DK - 13.02 Speaking of struggling teams, the Vegas Golden Knights are at home tonight against the Leafs who have dropped five straight and seven of their last 10 scoring two or fewer goals in five of them. Fleury has been up and down recently giving up four or more goals four times in the last 10 games but leads the league with 10 wins overall and is coming off a 33-save shutout against the Flames on Sunday. Vegas opens as a -150 favorite and like Bishop, Fleury is in play in all formats. Also Consider: Tuukka Rask(BOS) as a GPP pivot off the two mentioned above who are likely higher owned CENTERS **If you have the salary, you are obviously spending up for one of Connor McDavid or Nathan MacKinnon who are both averaging an incredible 19 DK/23 FD fantasy points per game and both get plus matchups. If you are looking for a more balanced route, especially in cash games, check out the options below.** Jack Eichel FD - $7900 DK - $7500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 20.31 DK - 16.25 The first stop when looking at PTS/$, especially on FanDuel, is Jack Eichel....

First time with MLB? Be sure to read our free MLB Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Ford Ecoboost 400 The 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Champion will be crowned this week as the series head to Homestead Miami for the Ford Eco Boost 400 on Sunday. Martin Truex Jr, Kevin Harvick, and Denny Hamlin locked up their spots with wins in the last round forcing Kyle Busch to use all of those playoff points he earned as the regular season champ to advance to the finale. Points are now reset and it comes down to one race where the top driver of the four will take home the hardware. This also marks the final time Homestead will be used as the Championship race as the 2020 schedule overhaul has that finale moving to ISM Raceway. Experience is the name of the game this week and all four drivers check the box making up four of the last six winners at the track. Martin Truex Jr(2017), Kyle Busch(2015), and Kevin Harvick's(2014) wins earned them their first championships with Hamlin coming close in 2010 finishing runner-up to Jimmie Johnson. To cap it off, they all have at least 26 career wins and 167 between them. Get ready for another thrilling race. Homestead is a mile and half track that is always worked out well as the Championship race as there are multiple lanes to run but don't get fooled as track position and qualifying are huge this week. The correlation from starting to finish position has been over .650 in two straight and four of the last six races here with the winner coming from a Top 5 starting position in five of those six races. I will also be looking to target two dominators in this race with one driver leading 100+ in four of the last six and at least two drivers(3 in 2014) leading 50+ laps in each of the last six races here at Homestead. Let's jump in and take a look at some track history, track type history, playoff form, and then dive into core plays....
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/14/19
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/14/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us a very exciting eight-game slate that includes three games with a high 6.5 total.

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Jacob Markstrom FD - $7400 DK - $7900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 19.66 DK - 15.84 Markstrom has gone winless in four straight(0-2-2) but no fault of his own as he has allowed more than two goals against just once and tallied a .924 save % in that time. I love the spot for Markstrom and the Canucks tonight as they are -145 home favorites going up against a Stars team that ranks 29th on offense to start the year scoring just 2.4 goals per game. He is second to Vasilevskiy in raw points in the system but from a PTS/$ perspective, he is the clear #1 option tonight and in play in all formats. Also Consider: A struggling Andrei Vasilevskiy(TB) as a huge home favorite(-260) against the Rangers or Jonathan Quick(LA) as a GPP play at home against the Red Wings 27th ranked road offense CENTERS Aleksander Barkov FD - $8300 DK - $6700 Opponent - WPG Proj Pts FD - 16.8 DK - 12.1 There are two elite centers(MacKinnon, McDavid) at the top of the salary tonight but from a cash game perspective I will be going a more balanced approach and it starts with Aleksander Barkov. Like the Oilers/Avs game, this game has a high 6.5 total and the Panthers Top 5 offense is in a great spot at home against a Jets team that ranks 24th in defense on the road allowing 3.6 goals per game. Barkov comes into this game red-hot with multi-point efforts in five of his last six games and has a whopping 18 points in his last 10 games. I will have exposure in all formats but his best value comes on DraftKings where he costs just 13% of your salary cap. Stack with: Jonathan Huberdeau, Evgenii Dadonov Nazem Kadri FD - $5200 DK - $4600 Opponent - EDM Proj Pts FD - 12.23 DK - 8.66 Kadri is a cheap way to get exposure to this projected high-scoring game and while the Avs are +110 road dogs, they have a Top 5 road offense going up against an...
