SEO For News: Complete Top Stories Keyword Research Guide
Before you click out of this article thinking, “not another keyword research guide,” let me tell you something I’ve learned first-hand from working with national news publishers: Keyword research for publishers is entirely different. The skills, processes, checklists, and tools you currently use won’t be as helpful in this niche. Forget about presenting your list of keywords to an editorial team using the traditional keyword research method.
Fantasy Football Week 11: Trader's Alley: Buy Low, Sell High, and a Chart
Well, we made it to Week 11 and that means the trading season is winding down. I hope you were able to pull off some wins and set your teams up for success. We still have a little time left before the deadline, so make sure to get those trade requests sent out. We had some major injuries in Week 10 and a lot of teams are looking for replacements. The tight end position is even worse than it has been all season and losing Cooper Kupp is going to hurt a lot of winning teams.
Best Fantasy Football Matchups Week 11
Schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed, or aFPA, is 4for4’s answer to biased statistics. By removing bias, we can level the playing field and compare matchups in an "apples-to-apples" manner. As the season moves along, the data will change. Regardless, aFPA is arguably the best tool available to gain an edge when using waivers and building lineups.

NCAA CBB Best Bets: Timme for Takeoff
College basketball made its much-anticipated return on Monday to kick off the 2022-23 campaign. While it has been nice to have college hoops back in our lives on a nightly basis, we haven’t had many marquee matchups to zero in on. Until now. Clear your schedule for Friday because there will be a handful of games worth watching from start to finish.
DraftKings Reignmakers Tiers: Risk and Reward
Reignmakers Card Tiers Each Reignmaker card is randomly assigned a serial number out of a total number of available cards. Card serials come into play in Reignmaker contests when there are two or more identical lineups entered into a contest resulting in a tie; when this occurs, the serial numbers for each card in a lineup are added up, and the lowest total breaks the tie.
NBA Player Prop Bets: Tatum Hits the Glass
It is starting to feel like the beginning of the season's shine is wearing off because injuries are taking over. In the prop market, this means some projection because attempting to altogether avoid injury situations is nearly impossible on today’s slate. When teams are making lineup adjustments it does pay to have an idea of team rotations, so you have a better idea of who could be favored for more minutes or step into a specific role that needs to be filled.
Best Week 9 NFL Bet: CAR @ CIN
In this week's matchup spotlight, I zero in on an afternoon tilt in Cincinnati between the 4-4 Bengals and the 2-6 Panthers. First of all, to address the monkey in the room: No, the Panthers are not tanking. I don't think NFL teams typically try to lose, especially this early in the season. Players and coaches are trying to win and prove they can do their jobs better than their potential replacements.
Week 9 Breakout Player Model: Top NFL DFS Contrarian Plays
One of the biggest advantages you can deploy in daily fantasy is buying low on a player who has fallen out of favor with the rest of the field but is set up for a smash week.

Daigle's Top NFL DFS Picks: Week 9
I begin my research for DFS tournaments every week by sifting through what our opponents are doing and engineering lineups backward from there. These top plays, though viable for cash games (which will be noted throughout), are suggested specifically for tournaments and are weighted for ceiling projection, matchup, ownership, and value. I will include any thoughts on game theory within my reasoning for each player. They are listed in order of descending price, not by my personal rankings.
Best Week 9 NFL Bets
The NFL grind continues. My process benefits from having enough data to identify performance trends and with eight weeks in the books, I'm feeling more confident than I have all season.

Fantasy Football Week 9: Trader's Alley: Buy Low, Sell High, and a Chart
Week 8 is in the books and we are on to Week 9 of the NFL season! There was a lot more NFL trade deadline movement than normal, and that shook up the fantasy trade market. The tight end position is still a dumpster fire and we keep getting hit with wide receiver injuries. Take a look at the 2-6, or 3-5 teams that are trying to make a push for the playoffs. In my experience, they are the most willing to make a trade to attempt to turn their season around.
Week 9 Fantasy Football Busts: 5 Players to Avoid
We’re getting deeper into the season and learning more about each team weekly. However, the trade deadline and having six teams on bye will put any fantasy manager in a tough spot for Week 9. There are a few gems on the waiver wire to pick up, but I’ve got five guys to plan around for the upcoming games. Quarterback Tom Brady (Buccaneers) vs. Rams Tom Brady is still slinging the rock all over the field. However, the Buccaneers are 18th in yards per drive and 14th in EPA per play.
Week 8 NFL Pick'em & Survivor Pool Picks: Bills and Cowboys Victors at Home

Week 7 NFL Player Props: Best Player Props to Bet from Ryan Noonan
And we're back! After a frustrating start to the season, Week 6 delivered. I went 5-0 in this article and 14-2 overall on props, with most posted in our subscriber Discord. Of course, week-to-week snapshots can be volatile in sports betting, but if you're not looking at it over a larger season-long sample but reacting to small sample ups and downs every game, you're going to give yourself an aneurism. For now, it's good to feel alive again.
Week 7 Thursday Night Single-Game DFS: Top FanDuel & DraftKings Plays
The revolving door at receiver will loom large for both teams tonight as the New Orleans Saints take on the Arizona Cardinals in the desert. It is vital to remember that single-game slates are not simply a “max salary, play as many big names as possible, and submit” format, especially in larger tournament fields. We need to identify players that can be pieces in their offense’s success, whether in the lead or trailing, as well as the players that could be focal points in a neutral game script.
Positional Breakout Model: Week 7
This offseason at 4for4, I developed a new expected fantasy points model (using PPR scoring) in an attempt to contextualize a player's usage in each game. If you're unfamiliar with expected fantasy points, it is a look back at what we would have expected a player to score based on how they were used and targeted in their offenses. For example, a carry at the two-yard line is going to be worth much more than a carry outside the red zone, and expected fantasy points captures that.
Week 7 Start/Sit Candidates: Tight Ends
Wondering whom to start and sit at tight end this week? Below are two top-notch start and two sit options at the tight end position for Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season.

Best Week 7 NFL Bets: SharpClarke's NFL Betting Tracker
The dogs were barking in Week 6, as several teams with high expectations collapsed against inferior competition. Defensive schemes have begun to take center stage in my handicapping process, as we are seeing defenses dictate what offenses can and can't do. The Giants' blitz got to Lamar Jackson, who struggled without any elite outside weapons. The Jets exploited the Packers' vulnerability in the run game.
Week 6 Monday Night Single-Game NFL DFS: Top FanDuel & DraftKings Plays
