NHL DFS: 2-13-24

Tonight we have a large 11-game main slate, which is typical for a Tuesday. In these situations I like to look at game totals and implied goals to find which teams to attack. The highest projected scoring game is Columbus at Ottawa. Neither of these teams play much defense, so it makes sense. You should also avoid the goalies in this game. Another matchup of bad teams is Anaheim at Montreal. This has the potential to be a high scoring game that many people will avoid, so it is a good place to strike.

The chalk is looking like Toronto, Colorado and Vancouver. You should grab some pieces of these matchups and use the above mentioned games to fill in.

And finally the late game of Detroit at Edmonton could be a barn burner. Both teams are hot right now and we should see backup goalies. The Oilers are expensive to roster, so I lean towards playing Detroit. This is also the featured Showdown game, which I love to play.

Good luck and join me in Discord!

Bears released RB Royce Freeman.
Freeman had only joined the Bears last week -- the veteran will probably find a practice squad by the time the week is over. The Bears also waived DB Millard Bradford, DL Xavier Carlton, DB Alex Cook, LB Power Echols, DB Kaleb Hayes, QB Austin Reed, RB Ian Wheeler, and TE Joel Wilson. Additionally they released DB Tre Flowers and OL Joshua Miles, and placed DB Zah Frazier on the NFI list.

The Athletic's Chad Graff believes TreVeyon Henderson could get "half the carries, if not more" in the Patriots' backfield.
Henderson is cited by Graff in this piece as already being New England's best offensive weapon and also notes that Henderson's ability to run between the tackles "has surprised even the highest levels of the team brass." It's hard to believe the Patriots won't find a way to make Henderson a real fantasy football contributor this year, perhaps as early as Week 1. A big role for Henderson would make the road to fantasy viability much tougher for Rhamondre Stevenson.
