Dan's DFS picks for NFL Championship Round21 January 2016
Well, I flamed out last week in the $100 buy-in Millionaire Maker on DraftKings. My Divisional round lineup was a complete bust. With just three games left in the 2015 NFL season, it's time to make it count in these GPPs. No more complete busts. No more min-cashes. I want a five-figure score or nothing. ... (read more)
Dan's DFS picks: Divisional round14 January 2016
I swear, if it weren't for two ridiculous plays in last week's Wild-Card playoff round, I would have won the Millionaire Maker on DraftKings. My lineup was good enough to cash for $35 – my fourth straight week with a cash – but I'm sure I would have hit at least a four-figure score if Kam Chancellor hadn't ... (read more)

Hold onto your hats, folks. We've officially embarked on what is commonly known as a "winning streak." My Week 16 lineup produced a respectable 167.62 points on DraftKings last week, good for a better-than-min-cash in the site's Millionaire Maker. That's right: We've now cashed two weeks in a row in DraftKings GPPs. ... (read more)

Dan's DFS picks for NFL Week 1622 December 2015
It's a Christmas miracle . . . we cashed! After a four-week losing streak, my Week 15 lineup broke through and made the money in the final DraftKings Millionaire Maker of 2015. And it was a big win, too, because I spent the last $20 in my account to buy in to the tournament. Still, I'm having a pretty terrible daily fantasy football season. ... (read more)
