NHL DFS: 3-9-24

[email protected] March 9, 2024

As the dust settles after a wild trade deadline, be sure to check the status of traded players on DraftKings and Fanduel. Tonight we have an 8-game Main Slate Toronto and Ottawa have the best matchups, but both teams are on the road. Vegas is home facing a struggling Detroit team, who lost 4-0 to Arizonia last night. Washington, on paper, has a good matchup against Chicago, but I am hesitant to use them outside of a few filler players because they are so inconsistent.

If you have the nerves for it, San Jose is a good contrarian play against a terrible Senator defense and Goaltender.

Good luck and join me in Discord!

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports Rashee Rice will have a "heavy workload" in Week 7 against the Raiders.
The Chiefs have no plans to ease Rice back into the starting lineup after he was suspended for the season's first six games. Rice, according to Fowler, "has been in the building for weeks, had an excellent training camp and is in peak physical shape. A team source says Rice will be 'full bore' this week as he gets back onto the practice field." It sound like fantasy managers can expect something close to a full route share and Rice's normal role as a dominator of intermediate targets from Patrick Mahomes against a vulnerable Vegas secondary. Rice's return will likely hurt Travis Kelce's targets as he loses out on those intermediate looks.
