[DFS NBA Optimal Lineups : January 19] Ted Schuster 10 minutes ago Ted Schuster breaks down the DFS NBA slate for tonight's contests and provides you with the information, players and lineups you need to win your contests [$4550] [Martellus Bennett] [Pats Bennett limited at practice Thursday] Limited practice have been a theme of his this season in New England and they haven't really hurt his production yet. He has been a big part of the offense since Gronk went down early in the year and that should continue again against a team in the Steelers who was questionable against tight ends much of the year. Analysis: Matthew Selz 32 minutes ago [Special Conference Championship Contest: Top-half Wins $10!] Plan on watching the conference championship games? Enter our special FanDuel contest for this weekend and make those games more exciting. It’s just $5 to play and you’ll win $10 if you finish anywhere in the top-half. PLUS — 1st Place wins one-month DFS Playbook PRO on top of the $10. 15 minutes ago Fantasy Alarm [$4350] [Malcolm Mitchell] [Pats Mitchell a limited practice participant] Mitchell has been limited this week in practice after missing the last game against Houston with the knee ailment. The limited nature of the practice sessions will likely give him a questionable tag for the game but in all likelihood he should play against Pittsburgh. With the way the Patriots offense has been rolling of late, he may not factor that much into the game plan even if he goes. Analysis: Matthew Selz 37 minutes ago [DFS NBA Playbook: January 19] Ted Schuster pours over all of the statistics, splits and matchups to uncover the very best DFS NBA players for today's contests 2 hours ago Ted Schuster [$4300] [Chris Hogan] [Hogan limited Thursday for Patriots] Hogan has been given the limited designation a couple of days in a row now, but he seems on track to play this weekend. New England simply doesn't want to use him up in practice rather than having him ready for the field against Pittsburgh. He will be a WR3 option for DFS and playoff leagues. Analysis: Matthew Selz 38 minutes ago [DFS NHL Playbook: January 19] Kenneth Le goes through all of the statistics, splits and matchups to uncover the very best DFS NHL players for tonight's contests. 2 hours ago Kenneth Le [$4000] [James Starks] [Starks misses practice on Thursday] Starks hasn't played since Week 14 with the concussion and it doesn't look like he's anywhere close to playing as of yet either. Ty Montgomery and Christine Michael have taken the majority of the snaps out of the backfield for the last several weeks and even if Starks is healthy enough to play against the Falcons, there are likely very little, if any, snaps for Starks out of the backfield. Analysis: Matthew Selz 1 hour ago [Pitching Targets to Know] We all know the big names, but what exactly are you looking for in a pitcher when you're faced with building a fantasy baseball rotation without the stud names? Ray Flowers teaches you exactly what to look for in a hurler's statistical data. 2 hours ago Ray Flowers [$4200] [Ladarius Green] [Steelers Green misses practice Thursday] Green was limited on Wednesday but has now downgraded to a DNP, which isn't great news at the end of the week. Green has missed most of the season due to varying injuries but the last four games including playoffs have been with the concussion. If he can't go, Jesse James will be the starter at tight end again against the Patriots. Analysis: Matthew Selz 1 hour ago [NBA DFS Position Coach: January 19] Steve Pimental goes position-by-position to break down the DFS slate for Thursday's NBA games. 2 hours ago Steve Pimental [$0] [James Harrison] [Harrison misses practice Thursday for Steelers] Head Coach Mike Tomlin said the injury would limit the veteran early in the week but that it shouldn't hold him out of the AFC Championship game this weekend. By now we all have seen the early morning gym workout he did after getting home from the win over the Chiefs last weekend, so there is pretty solid evidence that he isn't hurting all that badly. Analysis: Matthew Selz 1 hour ago [Video: 2017 Draft Guide Player Profile - Hunter Renfroe] Ray Flowers brings you the numbers behind Hunter Renfroe's outlook going into the 2017 fantasy baseball season and what to expect from the Padres outfielder. 2 hours ago Ray Flowers [$5400] [Davante Adams] [Packers Adams misses practice on Thursday] Adams isn't expected to practice until Saturday's walkthrough at this point and Head Coach Mike McCarthy said that if this were a regular season game, Adams and Jordy Nelson and Geronimo Allison would all be sitting for it. If he does wind up playing, it won't be anywhere close to 100 percent health. Analysis: Matthew Selz 1 hour ago [DFS NBA Rankings: January 19] Ted Schuster breaks down all of the injuries, matchups and stats in order to provide you with the best players at every position for daily fantasy basketball. 2 hours ago Ted Schuster [$6600] [Le'Veon Bell] [Steelers Bell misses practice Thursday] Despite the fact that he missed practice Thursday, his status for this weekend's AFC Championship game is not in any danger. The team excused him for a personal matter as he's as healthy as a player who's played a full season up to this point can be. The Pats are most vulnerable on the ground, so look for Pittsburgh to feed their horse early and often. Analysis: James Grande 2 hours ago [DFS NHL Optimal Lineups: January 19] Kenneth Le goes through all of the data and provides you with his FanDuel and DraftKings cash game lineups for tonight's DFS NHL slate. 2 hours ago Kenneth Le [$6350] [Julio Jones] [Julio Jones is not practicing Thursday] Despite the fact that Jones isn't practicing on Thursday, he'll be ready for this weekend's NFC championship game. Jones has arguably been the best receiver in football this year and has been the main reason why Matt Ryan may have messed around and won the MVP. The Packers have nobody that can cover Jones, so fire him up in all DFS formats when he's officially deemed active. Analysis: James Grande 3 hours ago [2017 MLB Draft Guide Player Profile: Jake Arrieta] Jake Arrieta was the best pitcher in baseball in 2015. Last year he was really, really good, but there were a couple of serious cracks in the foundation. 2 hours ago Ray Flowers [UNSUBSCRIBE] Help us be sure that this email newsletter gets to your inbox.
