NHL DFS Friday Night Forecheck for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 12)

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

This article will focus on NHL Daily Fantasy picks for both FanDuel and DraftKings. Using advanced hockey metrics, slate analysis, and line by line evaluation, this article will point you towards what we think are the best plays for the night! Good luck!

Friday 11/12 NHL Breakdown

Hey everyone, and welcome back to another Friday Forecheck! Tonight, we will break down the five game NHL slate for you. It has a lot of big names on it, and some other interesting places to go, so let’s get right into it! Good luck!

Goalies

Jack Campbell – Toronto Maple Leafs: The Leafs have a home matchup tonight against the Calgary Flames, who have been firing off shots to the tune of 35.15 per game this year. This sets up Campbell to have some nice upside tonight, and as a favorite, that is what we like to see. He will likely give up a couple of goals, but the DK save bonus is squarely in play here.

Frederik Andersen – Carolina Hurricanes: Freddie is a heavy favorite at home against the Flyers tonight, and there is definitely some upside here as well. Philly has struggled a bit on the road from a scoring perspective, potting only 2.2 goals per game in their five road games. Carolina has some excellent puck possession numbers at home over their last five, so this should be a good spot for a Freddie win.

Bonus GPP Goalie Pick – Carter Hart – Philadelphia Flyers: On the other side of the Carolina game, the Hurricanes shoot the puck a ton, and Hart has been on his game. This is a prime spot for a high shot volume upside, and if he can steal a win, that’s an even nicer bonus. Joonas Korpisalo can be considered here for a similar spot, but he carries even more risk.

Lines to Build Around

These 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).

Edmonton Oilers 1 – Connor McDavid/Zach Hyman/Jesse Puljujarvi/Tyson Barrie: Talk about opportunity…this line has a date tonight with the third line for the Buffalo Sabres. That third line is giving up a whopping 5.05 goals against per 60, 10.1 high danger chances against per 60, and 3.03 high danger goals against per 60 in a 59 minute sample size. This top line produces 17.05 high danger chances per 60 and 2.13 high danger goals per 60. This line has been one of the hottest in the league, and there is no way we are going to overlook them tonight. Consider adding Leon Draisaitl with Connor McDavid, as the two have been lethal this season.

Toronto Maple Leafs 1 – Auston Matthews/Michael Bunting/William Nylander/Morgan Rielly: The Leafs have a nice home matchup tonight against the Calgary Flames, and if John Tavares is out, this line will need to be relied on for scoring. You can also consider a power play stack here, but the top line should see the depth lines for the Flames tonight in a good spot.

Washington Capitals 1 – Evgeny Kuznetsov/Alex Ovechkin/Tom Wilson/John Carlson: The Capitals tonight have a great matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and specifically, this top line against the second line. Columbus has been matching their top line to the opposing second line, and their second line to the opposing top line. That second line is allowing 16 high danger chances per 60, while this line produces 11.69. Keep in mind that this is a small sample, but the opportunity should be there for Ovi to continue to climb up the all-time scoring ranks tonight.

High Risk Lines

These are 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).

Carolina Hurricanes 1 – Sebastian Aho/Andrei Svechnikov/Teuvo Teravainen/Tony DeAngelo: As mentioned above, the Canes have a nice looking home matchup tonight against the Flyers. This line should see a majority of the depth lines this evening, putting them in a nice upside matchup.

Calgary Flames 2 – Sean Monahan/Blake Coleman/Andrew Mangiapane: The Flames have a tough matchup tonight against the Leafs on the road, but this line is great for value. In a high event matchup, they should have some good opportunities and could go very overlooked tonight.

Philadelphia Flyers 2 – Derick Brassard/Oskar Lindblom/Cam Atkinson/Ivan Provorov: The Flyers second line has a date with the top six for Carolina tonight, and they have some decent upside. With Lindblom coming up to this line, Joel Farabee has been moved to the third line. Farabee still plays on the second power play, though, so he can be used in this stack if you want a slightly different look.

Honorable mentions: CBJ2, CHI1, BUF1, PHI1

Value Options – DraftKings

Center: Sean Monahan ($3000) – Calgary Flames – 3k flat for a second line center that also centers the top power play unit is a fantastic value, and Monahan can be used tonight for salary relief. It also helps that he is part of the CGY2 stack that we like.

Wing: Jakub Voracek ($3700) – Columbus Blue Jackets -Jake is a top line winger and also spends time on the power play, so $3700 is a good price for the potential.

Defense: Jake Bean ($2700) – Columbus Blue Jackets – Bean is a top pair D man who has been averaging around 22 minutes per game and generally fills up the fringe stats. The downside is that he does not play any time on the power play, but that price is nice for someone who can likely get you 2-3x value.

Value Options – FanDuel

Center: Derick Brassard ($3700) – Philadelphia Flyers – Brassard is a nice price on FanDuel tonight, and with the opportunity he has, it is a good spot to go if you need some value.

Wing: Gustav Nyquist ($3500) – Columbus Blue Jackets – The second line for the Jackets is a nice looking one, and for a measly $3500, you can definitely take a chance on Gus tonight.

Defense: Dmitry Orlov ($3600) – Washington Capitals – Orlov averages about 20 minutes per game and contributes in ways such as shots and shot blocking. If you can luck into an assist or goal from him, that’s even better.

Cash Considerations – DraftKings

Leon Draisaitl – C – Edmonton Oilers

Alex Ovechkin – W – Washington Capitals

Tyson Barrie – D – Edmonton Oilers

Frederik Andersen – G – Carolina Hurricanes

NFL Week 10 DFS: Tight Ends

Adam Strangis
written by Adam Strangis

Just like that and we are already in NFL Week 10. We have had a good run on tight ends and hope to continue providing value each week in my NFL DFS Tight Ends article. Tight ends are sometimes forgotten and left to the last pick in your lineup and that can easily leave you with an outcome of 0-2 points. This could be devastating for your chances of a takedown or simply cashing. Each week I will lay out my favorite options up top and the best value plays on the board as well. Once you’re done reading this article make sure to hop in our expert chat on Discord to stay up to date with lineup discussions.

Let’s take a look at our NFL Week 10 DFS Tight Ends!

KYLE PITTS, ATL $5,800 DRAFTKINGS, $6,900 FANDUEL

It’s slim pickings in the tight end pool in Week 10. The goal is to avoid land mines and simply find ways to hit value in different price tiers. I am typically the most optimistic person in the room but it’s truly bad out here and I’m simply looking for safe floors to land on. Pitts has been up and down all season but lands with a great matchup in Week 10. The Cowboys rank 22nd against opposing tight ends and are currently allowing 270 passing yards per game. Pitts will be popular for various reasons. He is the highest priced tight end and is involved in the highest projected scoring game as well. With the over under set for 55 in this matchup versus the Cowboys, we should be a high paced affair with game script in the favor of the passing attack for the Falcons. Pitts has received 40 targets in the past 5 games and has exceeded over 20+ points in 2 of the 5 games. The upside is there along with the floor, so I will have a solid amount of Pitts in Week 10.

DALTON SCHULTZ, DAL $5,000 DRAFTKINGS, $6,000 FANDUEL

As stated above, this game is the highest scoring game on the slate as per Vegas. Similar to Pitts, the floor is set with Schultz and the consistency has been there all season. Dalton has averaged 12 fantasy points per game and I will be content with an average game from him in Week 10. With that being said, the matchup against the Falcons is one I always like to pick on. The Falcons defense is allowing 26 points per game and they rank 17th against opposing tight ends. Both these metrics should lead to another double digit performance for Schultz and if this game stays close through 4 quarters we should see a ceiling game out of him and the passing attack of the Cowboys.

PAT FREIERMUTH, PIT $3,900 DRAFTKINGS, $5,100 FANDUEL

This dude can ball and he has emerged as one of, if not the favorite targets of Big Ben. Freiermuth catches everything thrown his way and is starting to rack up the red zone looks. With 3 touchdowns in the past 2 games and double digit fantasy point performances in all 3 games, he is starting to cement himself as one of the better tight ends in the game. The Lions are ranked 12th against opposing tight ends and are allowing 29 points per game, which is the second highest in the league. This should be an up pace game for the Steelers, which are coming off of 5 tough matchups over the past month. We should see an outburst from Ben and Pat in Week 10, and I prefer the discount at the tight end position with most of the top tier tight ends not on the main slate.

JARED COOK, LAC $3,200 DRAFTKINGS, $5,200 FANDUEL

Jared Cook is a tournament only play for me at the tight end position. The targets for Cook are a tier below the 3 tight ends mentioned above and Cook is the 3rd to 4th option on his team. The price is right on Cook and the game is also the second highest on the slate with a projected total of 53 points. The Vikings are a middle of the pack defense and both these teams are typically involved in high scoring affairs. The hope for Cook in this one is a couple extra looks and for him to find his way into the end zone. I prefer Freiermuth, but may look to grab a couple shares of Cook in Week 10 at lower ownership.

TYLER CONKLIN, MIN $3,000 DRAFTKINGS $5,300 FANDUEL

If we need value on the slate at lower ownership, we can look to Conklin in a nice matchup versus the Charger secondary and linebackers which are really struggling this year. The Chargers currently rank 28th against opposing tight ends. Targets are beginning to funnel to Conklin which provides a nice floor at this price tag in tournaments. Conklin has received 28 targets over the past 5 games which is not too far behind both Thielen and Jefferson. He is a DraftKings only play for me in tournaments only when you need the salary savings to pay up at other spots. So if you need the savings in Week 10 look to Conklin in tournaments.

NHL DFS Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 11)

Richard Masana
written by Richard Masana

This article focuses on 11/11 NHL Picks for both DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbooks and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We analyze tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so that we can gain an edge on the field at large. Full rankings for each position for both sites are available below.

Thursday 11/11 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back to the Hot Shot for an eleven-game Thursday slate!

With these larger slates, I highly advise passing on full three-man lines but instead going with pairs of two-man stacks as the goal is to attempt to capture the top scorers on the night across multiple games.

Full DraftKings and FanDuel Rankings can be found below as well as cash game considerations for each site.

Three Favorite Lines

Winnipeg Three 2 Man “Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler” – DraftKings or FanDuel

It’s not too often that I would choose to feature a team’s third line. However, we can make an exception here as Schiefele and Wheeler are still averaging a normal amount of time on ice and feature on the top power-play unit. Furthermore, they offer us considerable savings relative to their collective talent level. The two-man stack gives us the best of everything and the ability to still fill out the rest of our lineups with ease. There is not much data on this pairing as they have only been together for a week but there’s not much we need to see for their prices.

Ottawa One “Josh Norris, Brady Tkachuk, Zach Sanford” – DraftKings or FanDuel

Ottawa One has been killing it recently to the tune of an NHL second-best ten full-line goals and eighth-best shot attempts for, despite Tkachuk missing time to begin the season. They remain moderately priced and host the Kings in one of three games on the slate with a six total. You can run the two-man with Tkachuk and Norris as they are the main two skaters here and feature on the top power-play or substitute Drake Batherson for Sanford if looking for further power-play correlation. On DraftKings, Tkachuk in particular seems way underpriced.

Washington One “Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Tom Wilson” – DraftKings or FanDuel

Perhaps a bit chalkier than the other listings but on an eleven-game slate, there is no need to think about such things. The Washington top-line leads all lines in the NHL with all total goals followed and is third in shots only behind the Calgary and Florida first lines. The Red Wings are much improved this season but the Caps are -135 favorites here in one of the six total games.

NHL DFS Between the Benches for DraftKings and FanDuel (Nov. 10)

Allan Fabrykant
written by Allan Fabrykant

We’re back with another Wednesday Night Win Daily NHL Article! I’ve seen a lot of great activity in the chat and a lot of strong finishes as well! Let’s continue our positive trend tonight. We have a small 3-gamer for tonight’s slate. So, let’s get ready for the newest edition of WinDaily’s Between the Benches! For tonight’s 11/10 NHL slate, the slate begins at 7:30 pm ET. Don’t forget to lock your lines and check the discord for any updates! Let’s get into it!

11/10 NHL Stack Report

  1. Dallas Stars 1
    Benn – Seguin – Radulov (FanDuel: $16,800 | DraftKings: $15,200)
    –     Dallas is coming into tonight as the favourite and also are carrying a high implied total at 3.1. Given how infrequently goals are coming outside of the top line, its safe to say that if Dallas is going to breakthrough tonight the top line will be involved. All the members of this line see power play time and they’ll be back in Dallas tonight after a long west coast trip. Centering this line is Tyler Seguin, he is coming into this game with four points over his last three games and the line itself is seeing around 18 minutes a game. Bottom line, in Dallas top line we are getting a star studded line for a discounted price. There are some decent spots on both sides of this game and Dallas’ top line is one to strongly consider.
    Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Miro Heiskanen (Ryan Suter as a Salary Saver) (FD: $6,300 | DK: $6,000)
  2. Toronto Maple Leafs 1
    Bunting – Matthews – Nylander (FanDuel: $20,900 | DraftKings: $20,900)
    –     It’s always hard to predict exactly how the Leafs will perform but as of late we have seen the Leafs come out on top in most occassions. The Leafs have won 5 of their last 6 and Auston Matthews has really found his scoring touch as of late with three of his last four games being multipoint games. The reigning Rocket Richard winner and co. will be up against the Flyers who may have a pretty significant absence in Ryan Ellis from their blue line. On top of that, the Flyers goaltender Carter Hart has been a bit of a cause for concern as aside from a shutout against the aformentioned Yotes, he’s been steadily allowing 3 goals against per game. Vegas odds are seeing this one in Toronto’s favour and are rightly giving them an implied total of 3.2. This will be a close matchup but Toronto’s top line can and will be the difference tonight.
    Ideal Defensive Partner(s): Morgan Rielly (FD: $6,200 | DK: $6,100)

    Honorable Mention(s): NSH2 (Duchene-Granlund-Kunin) MIN1 (Zuccarello-Gaudreau – Kaprizov)

11/10 NHL Goalie Tracker

Best (Goalies to Roster)

  1. Cam Talbot (FD: $8,200 | DK: $8,100)
  2. Jack Campbell (FD: $8,600 | DK: $7,800)
    Honorable Mention(s): Juuse Saros

Worst (Goalies to Target)

  1. Karel Vejmelka (FD: $6,900 | DK: $7,300)

11/10 NHL Wild Card Targets

Ryan Hartman (FD: $4,400 | DK: $4,000) 
– Hartman has been an interesting player to watch as of late, over his last five games he’s put up five points including 2 points in his last game against the New York Islanders, a team regarded for their strong defence. Tonight, Hartman and the Wild will be up against the Coyotes, a team not well regarded for their defence at all. Arizona is allowing an average of 4 goals a game and allowing around 32 shots on goal per game. All great stats for one of Minnesota’s hotter forwards coming into tonight’s matchup. To that point, Hartman has also really upped his shot output averaging 4 shots on goal over his last five games. So, even without a goal, Hartman can still help your line at his price. He’s also been seeing anywhere from 18 to 20 minutes a game along with time on Minnesota’s second power-play unit. (Not to mention, Minnesota has the highest implied total on the slate at 3.3)
Honorable Mention(s): Mitch Marner, Jason Robertson, Barrett Hayton, Matt Dumba, Shayne Gostisbehere

Core Four: (ALWAYS BE STACKIN’)

Centre – Auston Matthews (CASH LOCK)

Winger – Matt Duchene

Defence – Roman Josi (CASH LOCK)

Goalie – Cam Talbot
