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 […]
Fantasy Hockey Head-To-Head Preview: Week Six
If you were lucky enough to have a few New York Islanders last week, you were handsomely rewarded with five goals and six assists from Matt Moulson and John Tavares alone. That’s what happens when you play five games in a week. While there’s no five-game team this week, there is a two-game team. This […]
Fantasy Hockey Sleepers For Week Six (Feb 25 – Mar 6)
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: Patrik Berglund (30%): For […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 23
I angered the gods yesterday. I boasted about my undefeated streak and they slammed me with three straight losses. I mentioned yesterday in my daily fantasy piece that a three game NHL night can cause a daily fantasy gamer to crash back to reality. I’m back in reality and firmly in the fantasy god’s doghouse. […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 22
Yesterday I prayed to the daily fantasy gods. In a disgraceful act of pure begging I sent my prayer over the Twitter airwaves. Maybe the daily fantasy gods actually live somewhere in the dark netherworld of Twitter as some of my prayers were answered. We went undefeated last night over at FanDuel—going 3-0 in head-to-heads, placing […]
