Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – March 4
We got back in the saddle yesterday at FanDuel. I entered our lineup into two head-to-heads and two 50/50’s—we went 2-0 in our head-to-heads and finished in the top five in both 50/50’s. We are now 35-24 in head-to-head matchups for the fantasy hockey season. This is the lineup I’ll enter into some FanDuel 50/50’s and […]
Fantasy Hockey Sleepers for Week Seven (Mar 4-10)
Each fantasy season is full of injuries and players that just don’t meet your expectations. Being able to adjust on the fly and find studs on your league’s waiver wire is critical in a short season. Here are five players owned in less than 30% of Yahoo leagues that can help your team: Ryan O’Reilly (22%): Fantasy […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – March 3
The Florida Panthers really hurt us yesterday as we had Brian Campbell and Jonathan Huberdeau. They combined for minus-3 fantasy points and helped end our winning streak. We are now 33-24 on the season in head-to-head matchups at FanDuel. Today’s games start at 12:30 with the Blackhawks/Red Wings rivalry. Chicago has allowed a league low 1.76 […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – March 2
We went 3-0 in head to head matchups yesterday and placed in the money in two tournaments. For the year we are now 33-21 in head to heads. The lineup today only applies to games starting at 7PM or later. Since we are limited to only night games the player pool is also somewhat limited. […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – March 1st
We went 2-2 in our head to heads last night. For the sake of full disclosure that brings us to 30-21 for the year. There are only three games tonight and I’m going to lean on Chicago to try to bring us to 10 games over .500 for the fantasy hockey year. This is lineup […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb 28
We went 1-3 in head-to-heads yesterday. Not great, I know. Perhaps the most disappointing player was Roman Josi who really hurt us with -3 fantasy points. Tom Laverty, my esteemed colleague here at Sports Jerks, also informed me my pick of Damien Brunner was not a good one. I can’t argue it. But per daily […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 27
On February 24th I started writing this: “I keep writing about “daily fantasy hockey gods” as if there were some great being (or beings) out there who decide our fantasy fates. I’m here to tell you, they exist. I don’t have proof at this point if we’re talking a singular Christian God, a Mount Olympus […]
How To Value Defensemen and Evaluating Goaltenders
Like I wrote about in my fantasy hockey draft guide, the value of players in a league is largely dependent on that specific league’s particular settings. As of today, in a standard ten category rotisserie league (Goals, Assists, plus/minus, Power-Play Points, Shots On Goal and Penalty Minutes), there are no defensemen ranked in the top […]
