Red Auerbach, Jerry West, Jerry Krause, PeterYanidis.  Lead architects of the three greatest dynasties in NBA history.

I recently wrote an article on why daily fantasy football is a superior format to season long fantasy football.  In contrast I feel like season long fantasy NBA and its 178 ...

Week 8 got off to a rough start on Thursday with the 40-0 nail biter in Baltimore.  The fantasy side of the game was as much of a letdown as the actual game, with just two Ravens reaching double digits in Draftboard points (Collins with 15.3 and Maclin with 12.8).

(but daily fantasy football is great)

Is Jay Ajayi a good running back?

Fourth in the league in rushing yards last year. Pro Bowl starter. Consensus low first to high second round fantasy pick. Traded to the Eagles ...

It’s fantasy fireworks time in New England as LA charges into Week 8 with a matchup made in heaven.  Facing the dreadful Patriot’s defense, all Chargers’ players should be on your radar in Sunday’s highest projected scoring game.

Philly players present a great secondary option versus San Francisco as the ...

Carson Wentz continued his rise to the upper echelon of NFL QBs with 4 TDs and 32.02 points to lead the position.  Prescott and Carr both topped 30 points as well, with the latter recording his first big game of the season in the Thursday night thriller versus the Chiefs.

It’s a week of great matchups for young QBs at Draftboard.  Dak will look to continue his hot streak versus the 49ers while Mariota hopes to get his season on track versus the Browns.  Jared Goff provides some nice value at $7,500 at home versus the Cardinals.

Disclaimer:
This is my take on what occurred last night in the GSW-NOP game and how the world of NBA data feeds works in general.  I may not have all the facts 100% correct, but I believe it's pretty close.  I just wanted to give the DFS ...

It was a relatively quiet Week 6 in the NFL, with Melvin Gordon the only player to break 30 Draftboard points on 150 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Mark Ingram matched those totals for 28.5 points and Peterson proved the moniker "All Day" is not a misnomer, putting up ...

Facing a lowly Browns defense makes it nearly impossible not to expect a third consecutive week of Deshaun Watson domination at quarterback; anything short of back-to-back-to-back excellence will qualify as a letdown. Excellence should also be expected on home turf for Drew Brees, especially after a week of ...

There was significant speculation that Jlew365’s Record Breaker mark couldn’t withstand a challenge and while 161.2 points are impressive, they definitely don’t represent an insurmountable number. No Draftboard users were able to eclipse his mark last week and the bar stays right where it was at 161.2 points. ...

Dak Prescott’s performance made him a clear blue-chip pick at QB: his 251 yards and 3 touchdowns were supplemented by 37 rushing yards (29.74 points). Still, he wasn’t the top performer at QB as Deshaun Watson followed up last week’s dominance with an outrageous 5 passing touchdowns. Watson threw ...

It's the classic unstoppable force versus immovable object matchup in Houston this week, with Kansas City's Kareem Hunt looking to carve up the Texans' formidable front seven.  The Draftboard dream matchup of the week belongs to Le'Veon Bell, who faces a brutal Jags defense in a game where ...

Deshaun Watson's brilliant performance (34.72 Draftboard points on 283 yards passing and 5 total TDs) wasn't the only outstanding showing at QB this past week.  Cam Newton broke out of a prolonged slump with 34 points, Russell Wilson remained hot, putting up 29.6, and Andy Dalton lit up Cleveland for ...

The NFL Record has been set! Led by an outstanding effort by rookie sensation Deshaun Watson, Jlew365's lineup recorded a score of 161.02 to take home the $10,000 prize.

Jlew365 edged out the Draftboard launch week Record Breaker runner up by a mere 0.4 points. Better still, he won the ...
