Top DraftKings Values + Stacks: Week 5

Who’s ready for some football? First week of bye weeks have hit us, and we will lose Denver, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Washington and that is heavy losses for the world of fantasy football. Fear not, we still have Ty-God Taylor playing for Buffalo! Other than that small amount of excitement here in the Daily Fantasy Ace household, this slate of games is very ugly. There aren’t many great matchups, and there are not many exciting games. The NFL needs to do a better job at arranging schedules. Your reigning..and defending…undisputed* champion New England Patriots shouldn’t have two Thursday Night games in a month. Terrible for ratings. Plus people in New England want their 87 cent coffees on a Monday morning, not a Friday morning.

It’s time for our Top DraftKings plays, values, and stacks!

Waiver Wire Adds: Week 5

Waiver Wire: Week 5

Apologies for starting this article two weeks late. This is going to replace our 20 Facts article this week. So without further adeu, let’s dig deep in to our top Waiver Wire adds for fantasy football season long and dynasty leagues! I am going to discuss any player owned in less than 65% of Yahoo leagues as of the writing of this article, and I am not going to discuss Quarterbacks as there is a distinct difference between QB1 and QB2 in 10-team and 12-team leagues and you shouldn’t be flirting with benching franchise quarterbacks.

Love & Hate Projections: Week 5

Love and hate. Such universal words to determine your feelings about something. You can even both love and hate the same thing! You love going to the beach. But you hate sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and gets everywhere. Love and hate are integral parts of our life experience. The same can be said for fantasy football players, and really it all comes down to weekly match up and roster needs. Maybe you’re sitting comfortably at 3-1, so you want to keep things as they have been. Maybe you’re 1-3, like me, but have two close losses and you need to roll the dice on a high-risk/high-reward type player. Last week we were high on Todd Gurley who over-achieved and hated Matt Ryan whom, yes lost both his play makers early in the game, but the Bills defense effectively shut him down even when they were playing. What type of surprises do we have in store for Week 5?

Discussing Week 4 Results & Thoughts

First off, before we begin, most of us woke up to unfortunate news out of Las Vegas last night, where a gun man opened fire at a Jason Aldean concert, killing more than 50 people and injuring 200 more. My thoughts are with the victims and their families at this terrible time. Absolutely horrible. Being a person who works at a casino here on the east coast, this hits a little close to home. Many of our guests go to Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay. I hope every one is able to come together during this terrible time. Reports are it was a lone gunman with no affiliations towards any terrorist organization and the suspect has been killed by police. It is regarded as the worst mass shooting in United States history.

Jumping in to Week 4 of the NFL, this week was not as eventful as last week’s amazing finales, but it was important nonetheless. Two games went to OT, with neither the Jets nor the Jags wanting to win, but eventually the Jets pulling it off. Both of those franchises could really use Sam McDonald (QB, USC) next year so I don’t blame either for trying to lose. The Cardinals also survived overtime in a game that saw 9 field goals. Yawn. We saw the Browns, Chargers, 49ers, and Giants fall to 0-4. All of those teams are certainly in the hunt for a new QB as well. Some how the Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in the NFL. Don’t blame me, I called that last week before the San Fran game! So let’s jump in to the numbers and see how we did against the competition shall we?

Top DraftKings Values + Stacks: Week 4

Welcome gamblers, fantasy football players, and magic aficionados on this beautiful, chilly, Autumn morning. My house smells like pumpkin spice and there are fall themed decorations every where. This is my fiancee’s favorite time of the year. But it should be all of your favorite times of the year as well because we are escaping the “Vegas Zone” where gamblers lose the most money because of how weird the first three weeks of the season can be. We act like we know everything, but, truly we don’t know anything. Fear not Jon Snow… winter is coming!

It’s time for our top DraftKings plays, values, and stacks! Plus our Vegas Line picks and teasers.
