Week 5 NFL Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

Week 4 was fairly strange, as one single game (SEA-DET) produced outsized play volume and points, leading to many players from that game being optimal for DFS lineups. Unfortunately, I faded much of the chalk, so you can guess how my week went in tournaments. Week 5 is shaping up to be an ugly slate, […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was able to get in a full practice session on Thursday. He shed his non-contact jersey and went from limited to full for this practice.

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 5

I noticed the beginning of a trend last week when several friends moved to drop highly rated defenders for one of my Gambles. It didn't happen just once, but multiple times. Each time these friends would drop someone I had rated highly just to stream one of my Gambles. It is an act I find […]

A month of the NFL season is in the books, but the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football will continue all season.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller caught three of his five targets for 24 yards in a Week 4 victory over the Denver Broncos.
