RG Newsletter #18: DFS/Betting Community News, Stats, Trends, And More!
Hey Grinders!
The Stafford/Goff trade is interesting in itself, but also for what it means for the QB market in general. Looking to unload a bad contract (Carson Wentz)? Gonna have to attach some major draft capital. Looking to upgrade at the position (Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers)? Need to go above what it took to get Stafford.

Super Bowl LV MVP Betting: Favorites, Longshots & Best Bets – By Matt Schmitto
Travis Kelce
Best Odds: +1500 at FanDuel Sportsbook
Implied Probability: 6.3%
“No tight end has ever won Most Valuable Player during the Super Bowl. In fact, only three tight ends have eclipsed 100 yards on the sport’s biggest stage.
Lucky for us, Travis Kelce isn’t like most tight ends.” READ MORE
Super Bowl Prop Bets – By Joe Cistaro
Leonard Fournette over 48.5 rushing yards
“Fournette was far more effective and seems to be the more dynamic player. Perhaps Jones’ injury issues are lingering? Instead, Fournette might just be the hot hand.” READ MORE
Prop Bets Tool (for Premium users)
This tools shows RG projections alongside sportsbook lines and rates the bets. For example, we have Patrick Mahomes at 314.96 passing yards. His yardage prop at FanDuel is at 325.5 yards. So, the over bet rates out poorly. Conversely, we have Mike Evans at 70.78 receiving yards. His yardage prop on DraftKings is 63.5. So, the over bet rates out well.

Which Steelers WR are you playing in GPPs?

Blowout! Brady has the most appearances in NFL history, while LeBron is still two behind Bill Russell. But what if LeBron ties Russell? Or passes him? Could be a closer conversation in a few years.
