UFL DFS Week 2 Breakdown
Week 2 of the UFL is upon us! There is no doubt that the #EliteMafia is fully prepared and ready to crush our UFL DFS contests every week. This article will break down all three upcoming games and highlight what we think will happen, the best plays per game, the best plays on the slate, and overall strategy.

2026: The Closer Grid, April 2nd
I believe all fantasy baseball leagues should move on to Solds (saves + holds). I know most don’t buy that line of thought, though for the life of me, I cannot understand the reluctance to go in this direction (I even went as far as suggesting it might be wise to use Team Bullpens at one point).

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Wednesday’s Strike Zone
If you’ve followed this column over the years, you know the goal has always been the same — identifying how the home plate umpire can impact pitching matchups, strikeout props and MLB DFS plays. The article continues with the updated format this season. Instead of relying on the boost metrics from Swish Analytics, the focus is now on the combination of umpire tendencies, team strikeout rates versus handedness, and the posted strikeout props to identify pitching and hitting edges. We will highlight pitchers worth targeting in seasonal fantasy baseball formats, point out strong DFS plays, and identify strikeout props that may present value. If a game is not listed, there was no clear advantage created by the umpire behind the plate… You need a subscription to access this content.

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Friday’s Strike Zone
If you’ve followed this column over the years, you know the goal has always been the same — breaking down how the home plate umpire can impact pitching matchups, strikeouts, MLB DFS plays, and even offenses that may benefit from the environment behind the plate. The article will look a little different this season. In previous years, I relied heavily on the boost metrics from Swish Analytics to identify favorable strikeout environments. With that data no longer available, the report will shift to a more matchup-driven approach. Instead of focusing on boost percentages, I’ll be looking at how the umpire’s strike zone, team strikeout tendencies against left- and right-handed pitching, and current strikeout prop lines come together to create potential edges. As always, the goal remains the same: highlight pitchers worth targeting in seasonal fantasy baseball formats, point out strong DFS plays, and identify strikeout props that may present value. If a game is not listed, it simply means there is no clear edge based on the matchup or the umpire working behind the plate… You need a subscription to access this content.
