FanDuel Fantasy Hockey Picks – Monday Feb. 4

After a break for the Super Bowl I’m back swimming through NHL stats to construct FanDuel lineups for Sports Jerks. There are certain things to consider when building a daily fantasy lineup and recently I have been using power play ice time as one of my factors when choosing a player. I will still use […]
More FanDuel Fantasy Hockey Picks For Saturday – 2/2

Adam Markowitz already gave you a great set of picks for today—but if you’re anything like me you sometimes like to throw an alt-lineup into one of the FanDuel tourneys … especially the ones that allow multiple entries. Consider this a Sports Jerks alt-lineup. It’s kind of like Pink Floyd without Roger Waters or Van […]
FanDuel Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Friday 2/1

I’m back again, somewhat riding a nice little wave of non-failure. Zack Kassian has been my personal FanDuel hero and has kept these picks respectable. Again, I looked at “important minutes” when crafting the following team. Power play ice time is my tie breaker when I’m down to two players at any given position. LW: […]
The (Coming) Ray Rice Panic of 2013

Economic panics collapse economies, often starting with well-coiffed business people hurling themselves out of 19th story windows in downtown financial districts. That’s probably an overreaction to the coming Ray Rice Panic of 2013. But it’s coming, and you should get ahead of the whole anxiety-driven thing this offseason. And if you absolutely must throw yourself […]
FanDuel Fantasy Hockey Picks – Jan. 30

After a rough start in my FanDueling experiment I somewhat righted the ship on Monday with players like Zack Kassian coming through for me with 4.8 fantasy points. Today I turn my attention to players who get “important minutes” or power play ice time. If I’m torn between two players I’ll take the player who […]
FanDuel Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Jan. 28

I won’t pee on your shoes and tell you it’s raining. Yesterday was a rough day down at FanDuel. Claude Giroux and Sidney Crosby combined for a whopping 0.12 fraction of a fantasy point. When your two expensive studs lay an egg so horrendously rancid you move on, question whether there is a God who […]
NHL Fantasy Hockey: Week Two Preview (Jan. 28 – Feb. 3)

For most people, Week One was a roller-coaster of emotions. If you stockpiled San Jose Sharks on your squad, you probably have a big lead going into this last day. If you relied on goalies like Jon Quick, Henrik Lundqvist, Jimmy Howard, Mike Smith or Cam Ward (all Tier One goalies, mind you), then you’re […]
