Pennzoil 400 After an overnight delay and insane finish at the Daytona 500, the NASCAR Cup Series moves on to Las Vegas for the Pennzoil 400 and start of the "real" season. One note before we get into race and track is that while Ryan Newman appears to be making a speedy recovery from the crash on Monday, it will be Ross Chastain stepping in and driving the #6 this weekend in the 38-car field. Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a mile and a half, D-shaped oval intermediate and is considered steep with 20 degrees of progressive banking in the turns. From a fantasy perspective, the biggest thing to realize is that the strategy is completely different from Daytona. We were heavy on almost any driver starting back in the pack at Daytona for maximum exposure to place differential. While place differential is still important(largely dependant on qualifying), we have more laps and a much higher correlation between starting to finish position due to it being much harder to pass on intermediate tracks than it is on superspeedway's. This leads us to a strong dominator strategy which includes laps led and fast laps(Draftkings only) and this track has been a two dominator track as seven of the last 10 races here have seen two drivers lead 50 or more laps. Looking at that same 10 race sample size, there has been a driver lead 100+ laps in six of those races. For the most part, we will be looking at drivers starting near the front for our dominator targets but that isn't always the case as we saw Joey Logano lead 105 laps last...

GOALIE Jordan Binnington FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.11 DK - 13.21 The Blues go back on track on Tuesday shutting out the Devils at home as Binnington stopped all 17 shots he faced. The shot totals are a little concerning for fantasy but the good news is that he and the Blues get another plus home matchup against the Coyotes who are playing a back to back on the road and third game in four nights while also ranking 26th in road offense on the season. I prefer Binnington in cash games but all things considered, he is viable in all formats. Mackenzie Blackwood FD - $7600 DK - $7700 Opponent - SJ Proj Pts FD - 18.66 DK - 13.94 Shot volume is not something we have to worry about with Blackwood as he has faced just shy of 35 shots per game over his last 10. He also comes in scorching hot having won all four starts in February allowing just four goals and has posted a 5-2-2 record with .925 save % in his last 10 starts. He gets to face a very inconsistent Sharks team that has dropped seven of their last 11 games and rank 25th in road offense on the season. Fire him up in all formats. Also Consider: Braden Holtby(WSH) who is the biggest favorite(-194) on the slate and faces a Habs team that has dropped five straight while scoring just 10 goals CENTERS Blake Wheeler FD - $6600 DK - $6100 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 16.13 DK - 12.36 At center, I am going to start with Blake Wheeler who gives us a path to a very balanced lineup for cash games. He...

Head on over to my Patreon Page It wasn't exactly the finish I had hoped for at the Genesis Invitational but it was awesome to see Adam Scott grab his first PGA Tour win since 2016 as he edged out Sung Kang, Matt Kuchar, and Scott Brown by one stroke. This week is one of four weeks this season with multiple tournaments going on so buckle up and get ready for tons of golf action. In this article, I will be concentrating on the WGC Mexico Championship which has, by far, the best contests this week. That is largely due to the elite field which shows up for the WGC events and this one gives us seven of the Top 10 and 20 of the Top 25 golfers in World(via OWGR). This WGC event has been played in Mexico at the Club de Golf Chapultepec since 2017 so we are starting to get a nice sample size of course history and that narrative is most definitely led by the top players in the field as Rory, DJ, and JT have yet to finish outside the Top 10 in eight combined appearances. The par 71 course is listed at 7,330 yards on the scorecard but playing at almost 7,500 feet of elevation has it playing more like 6,500 yards. This shows in the average driving distance as only six players last year averaged under 300 yard for the tournament. Running the stats over the three years, I have also noticed Strokes Gained: Approach to be a little more correlated than Off the Tee and Par 4 Scoring almost double as important as par 5 scoring. This would be due to a couple of things including there only being three par 5's and around 56% of all birdies coming on the Par 4's. There are also six of the 11 par 4's that are under 410 yards so that will be...

Daytona 500 The long offseason came to an end last week as the NASCAR haulers rolled into Daytona Beach last week. It all got started with the wreck-fest that was the Busch Clash last Sunday and that was also preceded by Daytona 500 qualifying which set the front row for the big race. The track was then quiet for a few days(for Cup cars) before last night's Duel Qualifying races which set the rest of the field for Sunday's race. Before getting into the picks, let's break down the track and some strategies we can use for daily fantasy. First of all, Daytona International Speedway is a 2.5-mile Superspeedway with 31 degrees of banking in the corners. The track produces some of the fastest speeds in NASCAR which is why engines are equipped with a tapered spaced(formerly a restrictor plate) and a larger rear spoiler to help keep the cars from taking off like an airplane. This style of racing also leads to large packs of cars drafting off each other which in turn leads to some different strategies we don't see on non-superspeedway tracks. Team and manufacturer alliances really come into play here and that has already been huge as we saw Denny Hamlin push Erik Jones to victory in the Clash, then we saw Aric Almirola push Joey Logano to victory in Duel #1 and a Chevy vs. Ford battle in Duel #2 with William Byron coming out on top. For fantasy, this means stacking in our lineups to possibly capitalize on a strong run from one team or manufacturer. You aren't just going to blindly stack any team, however, as other strategies come into play as well and...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/13/20 Welcome back hockey fans. We have a busy Thursday ahead of us with 11 games on the ice so let's jump in and take a look at some core plays for DraftKings and FanDuel at each position.

GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9300 DK - $8500 Opponent - EDM Proj Pts FD - 25.04 DK - 18.88 Vasilevskiy is the most expensive option on both sites and for good reason, as he has returned to Vezina form in a huge way since early December going 20-1-2 in his last 23 starts with an impressive .934 save %. He enters tonight's matchup as an early -205 home favorite as the Oilers come to town without arguably the best player in the world in Connor McDavid who is out 2-3 weeks with a quad injury. Despite some amazing values on both sites tonight, I am locked into Vasilevskiy as my top goalie in all options. Elvis Merzlikins FD - $8800 DK - $7300 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 21.39 DK - 16.37 One of those values that immediately jumped off the page when I loaded data into the sheet was Elvis Merlizikins in the low $7K range on DraftKings. Joonas Korpisalo is traveling with the team but still unlikely to get a start on Thursday which would get Merlikins another start and he has been nothing short of incredible in Korpisalo's absence. He is coming off back to back losses(one in OT) but only allowed two goals in each of those games and now has a ridiculous .959 save % over his last 10 starts with five(5!!) shutouts. The only hesitation is the start comes on the road but the good news is that he faces the 21st ranked offense in Buffalo. He is GPP only for me on FanDuel but is in play in all formats on DraftKings at just $7,300. Mackenzie Blackwood FD - $7500 DK - $7800 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 20.11 DK - 14.62 On FanDuel, the value play I am targeting is Blackwood who...

Head on over to my Patreon Page. The West Coast swing continues this week as the PGA Tour visits Riviera Country Club for the Genesis Invitational. Before this season it was a 144-man open field but will now consist of 121 invited players(119 in the field) in an absolutely stacked field led by nine of the Top 10 players in the World. From a DFS standpoint especially, this week feels like a major in terms of pricing as there are a ton of players who have seen $500 to $1000 drops in price compared to the other events to start the season. This most definitely opens up a more balanced lineup construction but it also helps in stars and scrubs builds as the scrubs aren't that scrubby(compared to other weeks). The thing I am most excited about this week is that we are back to a single course and 54-hole cut(Top 65 and ties) after another multi-course rotation last week. Riviera Country Club has been the host course at this event going all the way back to 1973 when it was the Northern Trust Open. It held that name up until 2017 when it changed to the Genesis Open for each of the last two years. In terms of difficulty, the course has ranked as a Top 10 hardest course on Tour in two straight and three of the past five years, ranking 21st and 23rd in the other two years. The fairways are tight, the Kikuyu rough can be tricky to play out of in certain spots, and the greens are also smaller than Tour average which leads to a tougher event overall. Looking at some stats over the last five years of play here, the average fairways hit has been between 50-55% and the average Greens in Regulation in the 55-60% range. Despite this, the winning score has hit double digits in each of the last four years...
