Overrated/Underrated Week 4: First Basemen

Week three has come and gone.

DFS players missed the chance to stack against Alfredo Simon on Monday, but they will get another shot Tuesday against the Rockies.

One way to take advantage of matchups is to pick out the strong pitchers against the […]

DraftKings Rule Changes For 2016 And Their Impact On DFS Strategy
