DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/29/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

With all of the topsy-turvy scheduling, re-scheduling, double-headers, and postponements going on, it seems odd that we have just a modest seven games in store on the DraftKings main slate tonight.

Unexpected Dynasty Risers - Hitters

Every year in dynasty league drafts fantasy managers will target young future stars, prospects which rank highly among all prospect rankings.

Hot Prospects To Watch: Promising Debuts and Red-Hot Rookies

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up.
