Formula 1 DraftKings DFS: Race Week Brazil Grand Prix, October 2022

Warren Kosoy
written by Warren Kosoy

Welcome to the 21st Grand Prix weekend of the season, this one coming live from Sao Paolo, Brazil. Interlagos is a quick 2.7-mile lap and tends to be the most eventful race track with lots of overtakes and safety cars. We had a sprint race this Saturday which set the starting grid position for the Grand Prix on Sunday. Here in this article, I will get more in-depth on the top options for this week’s F1 DraftKing’s contests.

Formula 1: DFS Top Captain Options

Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing $20,700

Max over his last 4 races has produced 28.2 DKP and beat his teammate 3 out of 4 times. Here at Interlagos Max has 4 top 5s with 1 win. After starting the sprint race in P2 Max’s car was damaged as Carlos Sainz overtook him. Max starts the race on Sunday in P4 and has demonstrated an ability to overtake those around him with relative ease. He doesn’t have much to prove this weekend and has complained openly that his car is difficult to turn in the corners. I’ll have my shares but might go with a few more valuable drivers in the top captain spot.

Formula 1: DFS Contrarian Captain Options

George Russell Mercedes $14,700 George has scored 10.63 DKP over his last 4 races, not once beating Lewis Hamilton over the span.

George started the sprint race from the 3rd position. He took advantage of the overqualified Haas falling back from the pole and overtook Max V with 10+ laps to go to cruise to a relatively comfortable maiden win. He has the car to perform here, which makes him worthy of a lineup as captain if he can convert P1 into his first Grand Prix win.

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes $15,900

Lewis loves Interlagos! Starting the sprint race in P8 Lewis did what he does here and found his way to the steps of the podium, finishing 3rd. With K-Mag, Lando, and Carlos falling back, Esteban and Fernando exchanging friendly fire, Lewis drove past them and was able to overtake a struggling Max V to finish 3rd.

Lewis has scored 17.6 DKP over the last 4 beating his teammate in all 4 races. Interlagos is like a highlight reel for Lewis Hamilton. In his last 4 races here he has 4 top 5s, with 2 wins. He won from P10 once here and finished 4th after starting 20th from the pit lane. There’s a reason he is an adopted son of Brazil, and the way he owns Interlagos, it might as well be a home track.

Sergio Perez Red Bull $14,100

Sergio has scored 22 DKP over his last 4, only beating Max last time out in Mexico over the last 4 races. he was very fast in free practice and could contend for a win coming from outside the top 3. I like Sergio’s chances here.

Formula 1: DFS Mid Tier options

Charles Leclerc Ferrari $10,800

Leclerc scored 14.53 DKP over the last 4 races, defeating his teammate in 3 out of the last 4 races. Charles has 2 top 10s here, no wins, and no podiums. Starting from P10, Charles just kind of ran his sprint race. He picked up 4 spots, but they felt hollow. Taking advantage of the overqualified Haas and McLaren, and the damaged/penalized Alpine. Ferrari might be back this weekend but it’s hard to tell from Charles Leclerc’s side of the garage. He should finish in the points and beat his teammate who has a grid penalty for changing his engine which makes him a valuable option for our DK lineups.

Lando Norris $7600 McLaren

Lando has scored 9.75 DKP beating his teammate 75% of the last 4 races. McLaren’s pace was on full display in the sprint race. Meaning, Lando lacked the pace to keep up with the Red bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes; Lando was +12 seconds to Charles Leclerc demonstrating the point clearly, Lando’s McLaren is the 7th fastest car on the grid. Incidents in front of him will have to occur for him to move up, and the cars immediately behind him aren’t much of a threat, outside the Alpines. Lando should maintain value here.

Formula 1: DFS Other options

Sebastian Vettel $5600 Aston Martin

Vettel and Lewis really perform well at Interlagos. Vettel’s dominance was apparent when he had the Ferrari to pilot, as he had one race win and 1 top 10, both with Ferrari. However, with his last two appearances here at Interlagos in the hunter-green of Aston Martin, Seb has finished outside the top 10 in both races. During the sprint race, he was really only able to beat Pierre Gasly as the other spots he gained were by the Alpines and the DNF of Alex Albon. He might be properly placed in P9 and could realistically hold onto it + or – 1 position to return value.

Formula 1: DFS Value 5-point options

Kevin Magnussen $4000 Haas

It was fun to watch but K-Mag predictably fell back after the 3rd lap, having overqualified for the sprint race. He isn’t too far forward however as he starts the Grad Prix from P8 and doesn’t have much threat to his race pace behind him. Vettel, Gasly, and Ricciardo are all behind him and Haas has shown an ability to keep those competitors at bay. Kevin has scored 6.5 DKP and beat his teammate 3 out of the last 4. He does have a DNF here and a top-10 finish. For a Value play, you can’t ask for much more at $4000.

DFS Constructor options

 

  • Mercedes $10,900 Fingers crossed for a double podium finish for the Mercs. 
  • Red Bull Racing $12,900 The class of the field.
  • Haas $3100 Showing an opportunity to flourish here at Interlagos. 
  • Ferrari $10,300 For the first time all season Ferrari is cheaper than Mercedes. The Merc has been coming on strong, but don’t overlook the Ferraris. 

Race Week Mexico Grand Prix DFS overall strategy

Interlagos is fun and with the sprint race, I have a lot of notes on all the drivers that I just can’t put into this article. Therefore, I’ll be posting notes in Discord. One major note I did find was that the Constructor position had been the most valuable spot, Fantasy Points/$, by a vast margin. Even more valuable than the Captain option. Hit me up in Discord to pick my brain.

If you have questions please feel free to contact me in discord @tcuz86, or on Twitter @tcuz86. Have fun and thanks for reading Formula 1: Race Week Brazil Grand Prix, November 2022.

NHL DFS Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 8)

allenjesse24@yahoo.com
written by allenjesse24@yahoo.com

Tuesday brings us a massive 11 game slate in the NHL, and with NBA off for the day, all eyes will be on hockey. 11 games means you don’t have to worry too much about ownership, and there will be plenty of options. Check out our top NHL DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel below. And, don’t forget to use our NHL Projection Model to fill out your lineups. Good luck!

Goalies

Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning host the Oilers tonight, which is usually reason to avoid a goalie spot. However, the Oilers come into Tampa on the back end of a traveling back-to-back. While there is certainly risk to this play, Vasilevskiy should see a ton of shots tonight, and Tampa has a slight advantage overall.

Vitek Vanecek – New Jersey Devils: The Devils host the Flames tonight, who are in a similar situation as the Oilers. The Flames went to OT last night on the road. The Devils should get a jump on the Flames tonight on home ice. Vanecek has been solid so far this year, and he should see a fair amount of shots, with a nice chance at a win.

Ville Husso – Detroit Red Wings: Detroit hosts Montreal tonight in a game that they should be able to win. Husso has been playing very well all year, sporting a 1.69 GAA for the year, and a fantastic 0.86 GAA over his last five starts.

Carter Hart – Philadelphia Flyers: The jury is still out on whether the Flyers will be good with Tortorella at the helm, but Torts certainly did something to help Carter Hart. He has a 1.49 GAA this season, and a 2.02 GAA over his last five. The Flyers host the Blues tonight, who have been struggling mightily. They also just played a game in Boston last night.

High Risk Goalie Pick – Logan Thompson – Vegas Golden Knights: Thompson has been very solid for the Knights this year, and he gets a road matchup with Toronto tonight. The Leafs can score, and the road matchup makes it a bit tougher for Thompson, but the shot volume will be there, so we could be talking save bonus on DraftKings.

Others to Consider: Connor Hellebuyck (WPG)., Scott Wedgewood (DAL), Martin Jones (SEA)

Lines to Build Around

These NHL DFS lines are considered top plays for the night and can be considered the focal point of your builds. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

Tampa Bay Lightning Power Play – Brayden Point/Steven Stamkos/Nikita Kucherov/Vladislav Namestnikov/Victor Hedman: The Lightning will be hosting the Oilers tonight, who, as mentioned above, are on a traveling back to back. Additionally, the Oilers have the 29th ranked penalty killing unit, putting this power play squarely in play tonight. The top two lines for Tampa are in fantastic spots tonight, so feel free to mix and match with the top six here.

Vancouver Canucks Power Play – Bo Horvat/Elias Pettersson/JT Miller/Andrei Kuzmenko/Quinn Hughes: The Canucks head to Ottawa tonight to face the Senators, which makes for a good matchup for them. Your primary focus here should be the trio of Pettersson/Kuzmenko/Hughes, but mixing and matching can work too.

High Risk Lines

These are NHL DFS plays that carry significantly more risk, but could pay off at low ownership. They will be listed by position in the following order: Center/Winger/Winger/Correlating Defenseman (if applicable).

Buffalo Sabres Power Play – Tage Thompson/Jeff Skinner/Alex Tuch/Jack Quinn/Rasmus Dahlin: The Sabres have a great power play matchup tonight against the lowly Coyotes. Expect a bunch of scoring from the Sabres tonight, which is why the power play is the way to stack it. Doing so gives you access to multiple lines.

New York Rangers 2 – Vincent Trocheck/Jimmy Vesey/Alexis Lafreniere: The Rangers moved Panarin to the top line, so this becomes a lot more risky. If, however, Panarin comes back to play on this line, it becomes a top play, as the Rangers host the Islanders tonight. Even strength line matching suggests that this line should see a whole lot of opportunity tonight.

Seattle Kraken 1 – Alex Wennberg/Oliver Bjorkstrand/Andre Burakovsky/Justin Schultz: Based on the line matching tendencies, this top line should hard match Nashville’s top line, putting them in a very nice looking spot. They should see a bunch of chances tonight, and they make for a real nice late game hammer.

Philadelphia Flyers Power Play – Kevin Hayes/Travis Konecny/Owen Tippett/Scott Laughton/Tony DeAngelo: The Flyers’ power play unit will be up against the 28th ranked St. Louis penalty kill. While the Flyers’ power play is middle of the road, they are in a very good spot.

NFL DFS: The Inside Look- Week 9 – Win Daily Sports

Joel Bartilotta
written by Joel Bartilotta

Welcome to the Week 9 edition of The Inside Look for the 2022 NFL season.  This will be a data driven article and will go under the hood to see if the box scores tell the whole story about what transpired during the weekend.   My goal here will be to either calm your nerves about a player that may have underperformed or cause you to rethink some of the spots you may have taken.

What a weird weekend Week 9 was.  The New York Jets beat up on the intra-state rival Buffalo Bills, the demise of Aaron Rodgers continued, and the Lamar Jackson we’ve known to love may be making a comeback. 

Let’s dig in to the data!

Wide Receiver Targets

Before we dig in to individual player performances I wanted to take a moment to talk about why we focus so heavily on Targets.  Targets equal opportunities and in fantasy opportunity more often than creates production.  The more targets that a player gets the better chance there is that the player will return on value. 

After putting in arguably the worst game of his career in Week 8, Davante Adams had a huge comeback in Week 9.  He led all wide receivers this week with 17 targets and was able to catch 10 of them for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns.  The 17 targets were the most he’s had since Week 1 when he also had 17.  Up next for Adams and the Raiders will be a matchup against Jeff Saturday and the Indianapolis Colts. 

Listen, did you know the Vikings are 7-1?  A lot of that has had to do with the stellar play of Justin Jefferson.  For the third time this season, Jefferson was targeted 13 times.  He made the most of those 13 targets as he finished with 7 catches, 115 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown.  This was the fifth time this season that Jefferson surpassed the century mark.  Next week will be a tough draw for him as the Vikings will head to Buffalo to play the Bills.    

Running Back Targets

This wasn’t a good weekend for running backs and targets.  Not a single running back was targeted more than 9 times and none had more than 58 yards receiving.  We’ll focus on Austin Ekeler here as he led the way with 9 targets.  While he was able to catch 7 of them, he only went for 24 receiving yards.  He was however able to convert one of them into a touchdown. 

Tight End Targets

Outside of Travis Kelce, no tight end was targeted in double digits this weekend.  Kelce was tied with Davante Adams this weekend for the lead in targets with 17.  The 17 targets that Kelce had this weekend were by far the most he’s had this season and also the most he’s ever had in his career.  He was able to catch 10 of them for 106 yards, surpassing the 100-yard mark for the third time this season.  With all that being said, he’s now gone 3 consecutive games without finding the end zone.  He’ll look to change that this coming weekend in a matchup vs. the Jaguars. 

Quarterback Target Share

The combo of PJ Walker and Baker Mayfield combined to throw the ball 30 times this weekend.  They relied heavily on their backs as nearly a third of all their passes went to them.  Raheem Blacksheer, D’Onta Foreman, Spencer Brown, and Giovanni Ricci combined for 11 targets on Sunday.  We’ll look to see if that distribution continues on Thursday night as the Panthers take on the Falcons. 

If you can figure out the methodology behind who Jalen Hurts throws to on a given week, please pass the info on.  This week it was his tight ends that saw the bulk of the receiving load.  Of Hurts’ 26 passing this weekend, more than 40% of them went to his tight ends.  Dallas Goedert led the team in targets this weekend with 9.  The 8-0 Eagles can do no wrong at this point. 

The Tua/Hill combo may be the most fun thing to watch this season.  Nearly 65% of Tua’s 29 passes this weekend went to his wide receivers, with the bulk of those going to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.  Targets and those 2 seem to be as safe as there is in the NFL right now. 

Running Back Touches

With James Robinson shipped off to the Jets, we’re starting to see what Travis Etienne can do.  Over the last 4 weeks, we’ve seen his carries go from 10 to 14 to 24 to a season-high of 28.  He’s also now rushed for over 100 yards in 3 consecutive weeks and has also found the end zone in all 3 of those games.  He was the chalk running back this weekend and he did not disappoint!  He’ll have his hands full in Week 10 against the Chiefs. 

Dameon Pierce, take a bow!  The rookie running back for the Texans had a career-high 27 carries this weekend.  He was able to rush for a career-high 139 as well.  The only thing he didn’t do right was find the end zone.  The rookie has been a big part of this offense this season and that should continue in a matchup against the surprisingly solid New York Giants in Week 10.

Playbook

The ‘Playbook’ as I like to call it shows a breakdown of the play splits that teams used this past weekend.

Tennessee ended up running the fewest amount of plays this weekend at 42.  70% of those plays however were runs.  Between Derrick Henry and Malik Willis, the Titans ran the ball 29 times this weekend compared to just 13 pass plays.  One thing we do know is that once Ryan Tannehill is back, that will like shift just a bit.

On the polar opposite end of the spectrum was the Kansas City Chiefs.  They not only ran the most plays at 81, but they also threw the ball nearly 80% of the time.  Patrick Mahomes threw the ball 68 times!  That was a season-high by a wide margin and for the second consecutive week, Mahomes threw for over 400 yards.  What a stretch that Mahomes is currently in!
