Slates

THE BLITZ Kicker Projections (BETA)

Note: Projections update multiple times throughout the week (with the first update coming late Tuesday night or Wednesday afternoon) based on weather, inactives, Vegas totals, projected usage, and other factors. As such, early-week projections are preliminary. For the most accurate projections, check back leading up to lock on Sundays.

Note: THE BLITZ Kicker projections are a new beta projection. They are a very basic projection that are not up to the same standard as the player and defense projections, but with so many requests for them given the popularity of Showdown slates, a basic projection seemed better than no projection, and am I comfortable with their quality with this understanding.

Derek Carty (DerekCarty)

Derek Carty is the creator of THE BAT X (for MLB) and THE BLITZ (for NFL) projection systems, widely considered the gold standard for projections and the driving force behind multiple Milly Maker winners. You may also know him from ESPN.com, from his time on Baseball Tonight and SportsCenter, or from his early career managing the fantasy sections for Baseball Prospectus and The Hardball Times. While perhaps best known for DFS, he also has an elite track record in both sports betting (career ~13% ROI on thousands of publicly-tracked bets as of the end of the 2023-24 NFL season) and season-long fantasy expert leagues (11 titles while placing in the top 3 in roughly half of all leagues). On the sports betting side, you may recognize his work from EV Analytics, ScoresAndOdds, Covers, and Unabated. For season-long fantasy, THE BAT X is prominently featured at FanGraphs. While known mostly for his analytical skills, he’s also proud to be the only active fantasy or betting analyst to have graduated from MLB’s exclusive Scout School.
