795 Words4 Pages

An unexpected twist of injuries have left some of the top fantasy options in the NBA Playoffs on the sidelines recently, vaulting a few interesting names into the mix for tonight’s DFS action. Look for point guard and power forward to be the two positions that become critical to success in your lineups. Here’s a look at today’s value plays. Sunday Value Plays Point Guard Damian Lillard, POR, $9,100: After losing LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Wes Matthews, and Robin Lopez (yes, that’s his entire starting five), the decks have been completely cleared for Lillard to get all the shots he wants this season in Portland, making him my darkhorse candidate for the scoring title this season. Lillard should benefit from a Phoenix defensive backcourt that allowed the second most FanDuel points to opposing …show more content…

As I’ve mentioned before on the Rotowire DFS podcast, the Blazers aren’t just bad. They’re could end up bouncing more ping pong balls than any other team when this season is over. Morris isn’t often a double-double threat, but he came close on Friday and will get another shot to do damage against Portland on the road today. Morris has one of the safest floors for his price point on Saturday Kris Humphries, WAS, $4,400: It took a full year, but the Wizards finally figured out that the Humphries plays the the type of blue collar basketball in the paint that suits the starting unit much better than Nene does. Humphries would have no trouble averaging a double-double if Washington found a way to get him 30 minutes on a consistent basis. With his price tag this close to minimum salary, eight points along with eight rebounds with any combo of two assists, steals, or block provides you the 5x point production that we’re looking for. Lock him in your lineups as a solid cash game punt

  • Butch Jones Case Analysis

    576 Words  | 3 Pages

    For Coach Jones, at least one of those issues should be resolved as three of the four top Vols offensive players are returning in 2015. At quarterback, Jones used a platooning game plan that resulted in both Justin Worley (1579 yards, 12 TDs) and JR Joshua Dobbs (1206 yards, 9 TDs, 469 yards rushing, 8 rushing TDs) splitting time equally. After Worley's graduation, Dobbs should be set to step in and takeover the position full-time. SR WR Alton "Pig" Howard figures to again be the team's top target on the outside after catching 54 passes for 618 yards, but only 1 TD. Vols fans can look for fellow SR WR Von Pearson (393 yards, 5 TDs) to also make a contribution from the other side of the formation.

    The kid is so crafty on the field and can really shake off defenders. So, not only do you have touchdown opportunities on the offensive side of the ball, you also get some special teams action as well. If your league rewards players for touchdowns during punt and kick returns, then Beasley should be a guy you’re looking at to snatch up off of the waiver wire this year. I hate to compare players to one another, however, Beasley reminds me of a young Wes Welker. If you compare the two, they are a mirror of one another.
