FANTASY ALARM THE DAILY ALARM

Good Morning!

Some weeks the wire hands you a league-winner. Coop's verdict on this one is that it does not. His advice is to hold your top claim and keep the bids at 0-5%, unless you are carrying a losing record into the bye weeks, in which case you already know who you are. Philadelphia has now lost Barkley, Bigsby and Shipley, which is how Dameon Pierce ends up a starter again.

Here's what you need to know today.

NHL MONEYLINE PICK
Vegas Golden Knights
Moneyline (-125)
Right after Monday Night Football, we have a Frozen Frenzy, which means all 32 NHL teams on the ice! So, there are a ton of options for some best bets, and we're going to roll with the team that was in the Stanley Cup Final this past spring. Their expected goal differential is nearly a full goal and a half, so this price is just too good to pass up. Even though they're on the road, the Predators don't scare us enough to stay off Mitch Marner and company.

NHL SHOTS PROP
Artemi Panarin (NYR)
Over 2.5 Shots On Goal (-110)
Panarin has 13 shots on goal over his last three games and is about to square off in what should be a shootout against the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings are desperate for their first win of the season so expect Panarin to take as many shots tonight as he can to get the job done.

Coop's Week 6 wire is above with Streamers & Stashes behind it for the deeper leagues, and the injury report, the five takeaways and the hot takes fill in the rest before Thursday's claims process. The short version from Coop: hold the claim, bid small, take your second choice. Then tonight brings Frozen Frenzy, all 32 NHL teams on the ice at once, which is where both exclusives live. Mark is on Vegas at -125 in Nashville, and Howard likes Artemi Panarin for three or more shots on goal. Good luck tonight.
