Most of the splashy deals in NFL free agency have already been executed, with billions of dollars in contracts being dished out through the first two-plus weeks. But as some of those contracts approached or went over the $100 million mark, there were some that weren’t as pricey that might shape how the 2026 NFL season plays out. 

Which signings were bargains? Which moves received less fanfare than they should’ve? Let’s take a look at our top 10 under-the-radar signings so far in free agency before we start to turn our attention to the NFL Draft. 

Kansas City had a lot of institutional knowledge and talent on the defensive side of the football leave the building this offseason. Slot corner Trent McDuffie was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, with teammate and fellow cornerback Jaylen Watson following him in free agency. Safety Bryan Cook also departed, signing with the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Signing Gilman to a three-year, $24.75 million deal from the Baltimore Ravens in free agency brings some experience and versatility to Kansas City’s defense.  The former Los Angeles Charger returns to the AFC West and should provide some leadership for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo as he attempts to remake the defense with more additions through the draft. 

A versatile, playmaking cornerback who mostly fills a need as a slot defender, Durant will not only be an upgrade to the Cowboys’ secondary, but he’ll improve the backend of their defense on a pretty valuable contract. Dallas signed Durant to a team-friendly deal that includes $1.5 million in guaranteed money. Durant has seven career interceptions, including two returned for four touchdowns in four NFL seasons.

Durant played in a multiple, 3-4 base scheme with the Rams, and should help as the Cowboys transition to a 3-4 scheme with new defensive coordinator Christian Parker. The Cowboys also signed Arizona Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson in free agency. The addition of Thompson and Durant provides experience and position flexibility in the back end defensively. 

8. Jason Sanders, K, New York Giants (One year, $1.425 million)

New Giants head coach John Harbaugh brought in one of the best kickers from last season to fix an inconsistent kicking game for New York in 2025. The Giants used three different kickers last season, including 38-year-old, injury-prone Graham Gano, who moved on at the end of the season.

Yes, Sanders had injury issues last year. Sanders did not play last season due to a hip issue and was released by the Miami Dolphins at the end of the season. However, in 2024, Sanders made a franchise-record 27 consecutive field goals, including nine from 50-plus yards. Sanders is still 30 years old, and if healthy, is a low-cost option to help solidify New York’s kicking game. 

7. Coby Bryant, S, Chicago Bears (three years, $40 million)

The Cincinnati product emerged as a part-time role player at cornerback in his first two years with the Seattle Seahawks, into a full-time starter at safety who helped propel one of the best defenses in the league to a Super Bowl. Bryant is a versatile playmaker who is a sure tackler in the running game and should help solidify a defense that lost safeties Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker in free agency.

The Chargers desperately needed to upgrade the offensive line and better protect Justin Herbert. And while more expensive options like Tyler Linderbaum proved out of reach, the Bolts secured a financially reasonable alternative who fits their scheme and at 28 years old, has some upside in Biadasz. 

Herbert was pressured a league-high 268 times in 2025. But with Biadasz serving as the anchor of the offense, along with the return of bookend offensive tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, the Chargers should have much better pass protection. Los Angeles also worked to improve depth upfront by signing guard Curtis Strange, along with re-signing Tre Pipkins and Trevor Penning. Expect the Chargers to draft another interior offensive lineman early in this year’s draft. But Biadasz gives Herbert someone to ably serve as the quarterback of the offensive line. 

5. Jonathan Allen, DT, Cincinnati Bengals (Two years, $25 million)

Released by the Minnesota Vikings at the start of free agency in a cost-cutting move, the 31-year-old Allen brings grit and experience to a Cincinnati defense that struggled to get off the field all season. Even with one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Joe Burrow, the Bengals have missed the playoffs the last three seasons.

Yes, Allen has struggled from a production standpoint in producing sacks, with just 12 over the last three seasons. But Allen should be more of an impact player as a situational pass rusher with a reduction in snaps. And the Bengals could use competency and versatility up front defensively. Allen joins former Seattle Seahawks edge rusher Boye Mafe and safety Bryan Cook from Kansas City to add reinforcements to a Cincinnati defense that finished No. 30 in scoring last season. 

Under first-year head coach and defensive guru Aaron Glenn, the Jets shockingly became the first team in NFL history to go without an interception for an entire season. The addition of Wright should help rectify that issue. He finished with five interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 2025 for the Bears.

At 6-foot-4, Wright is a rangy, playmaking cornerback who should elevate New York’s defense’s ability to create turnovers. Wright is part of a veteran overall on defense for the Jets that includes trading for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, along with signing linebacker Demario Davis, defensive tackle David Onyemata, safety Dane Belton and defensive tackles Joseph Ossai and Kingsley Enagbare. 

After back-to-back, 1,000-yard seasons, the former Carolina Panthers runner cashed in for a decent deal in free agency. A physical runner capable of producing explosive plays, Dowdle also lands in a spot where he should get the opportunity to be the lead back in a rotation that includes Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson.

Dowdle is also familiar with head coach Mike McCarthy’s offense from spending time together with the Dallas Cowboys. Along with the expectation that Aaron Rodgers returns for another season, the addition of Dowdle, along with the trade for Michael Pittman Jr., should help create a more efficient offense for the Steelers. 

2. Dre Greenlaw, LB, San Francisco 49ers (One year, $6 million)

San Francisco never wanted to let him get away to begin with, but after one year with the Denver Broncos, the tone-setting linebacker returns to the 49ers on a reasonable one-year deal. Paired with perennial All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, Greenlaw and the BYU product formed one of the best linebacker combos in the league.

With his return, along with Warner’s recovery from a season-ending leg fracture, the two should help repair a San Francisco defense that surprisingly struggled to stop the run last season. Greenlaw’s return also should help with the transition from Robert Saleh to Raheem Morris at defensive coordinator, as the 49ers gear up to take full advantage of a closing Super Bowl window. 

After one of his worst seasons as a pro, getting benched down the stretch in favor of rookie Quinn Ewers, the Alabama product gets a second opportunity in Atlanta with head coach and offensive guru Kevin Stefanski. While first-round pick Michael Penix Jr. is the starter in Atlanta, that’s only written in pencil as he returns from a season-ending ACL injury.

That means that Tagovailoa will get all the offseason reps with a starting group that includes Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts and Drake London. With Tagovailoa being paid $54 million by Miami this year, he’s a steal in terms of the talent he brings to the roster. Just 28 years old, Tagovailoa posted a 44-32 record with the Dolphins. In 2023, Tagovailoa made the Pro Bowl, leading the NFL in passing yards that season. In a winnable NFC North, the Falcons would like to help Tagovailoa reach that potential again. 

Who will win the league’s most coveted individual honor this year?

Regular Season MVP 2025-26 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder: -500

What to know: SGA is second in the NBA in scoring (31.5), and his Thunder have the best record in the NBA. He is also in the midst of a remarkable streak of 133 consecutive 20-point games, the most in NBA history. The Thunder have also won 13 out of 14. Still, Gilgeous-Alexander’s odds moved from -1000 just last week.

Victor Wembanyama, Spurs: +500 

What to know: The Spurs are a force to be reckoned with behind their star center, having won 23 of their last 25. They have the second-best record in the West and are within arm’s length of SGA and OKC, trailing by just two games. Wemby leads the NBA in blocks per game and is the favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year. If the Spurs catch the Thunder, Wemby could usurp SGA atop the oddsboard.

Luka Dončić, Lakers: +1200

What to know: The Lakers have won 13 of their last 15, and it appears Dončić can’t really be stopped. As of Friday, in the month of March, he’s averaging 36.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists. This month alone, he has games of 60, 51, 44, 43 and 40 — all wins for L.A. 

On the most critical play of Nebraska’s Sweet 16 loss to rival Iowa, the Cornhuskers had only four players on the floor, and coach Fred Hoiberg took the blame.

’Put that one on me,” he said. “It was a miscommunication and I’m the head coach.”

After Nebraska cut Iowa’s lead to three with 58.8 seconds left of the teams’ NCAA Tournament Midwest Region semifinal, the Hawkeyes’ Alvaro Folgueiras was supposed to hang around the midcourt line. As Kael Combs was looking to inbound the ball, Folgueiras started jumping and raced toward the basket.

Nebraska’s Rienk Mast wasn’t on the floor with the rest of his teammates, and as he tried to sprint from the bench down the sideline to the opposite end of the court, Combs fired a 70-foot pass to Folgueiras — who should have been covered by Mast.

Folgueiras caught the pass, took one dribble and slammed it home. He was fouled on the play and popped up screaming with joy, then converted the free throw for a six-point lead. Iowa went on to win 77-71, securing its first Elite Eight appearance since 1987.

“I saw some movement on the bench,” Folgueiras said. “I just told Kael to get me the ball because I saw that there were only four on the floor. They were trying to figure out who they were guarding.”

Iowa coach Ben McCollum made clear the play didn’t result from any brilliant strategy on his part. He was as surprised as anyone.

“I was like, I don’t know why he isn’t being guarded,” McCollum said. “I didn’t know (they only had four players on the floor), and then he dunked it, and then I’m like, ‘What the heck just happened?’”

McCollum said one of his assistants told him Nebraska didn’t have five players on the floor.

Folgueiras, a native of Malaga, Spain, described what happened in soccer terms.

“It was great to have that striker look where you get the ball against nobody,” he said.

The 20-year-old transfer from Robert Morris finished with 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting. His 3-pointer with 5:03 tied the game at 65-all, four days after his corner 3 in the closing seconds gave the Hawkeyes a second-round win over top-seeded and defending national champion Florida.

This time, he capitalized on a critical error.

“I was pretty shocked to see Alvaro wide open,” Iowa’s Bennett Stirtz said. “I didn’t even know they had four players on until we were in the locker room. Kael threw a great pass.”

Reporting by The Associated Press.

We are down to just 16 teams in the 2026 Women’s Basketball Tournament, and that means it’s time for the stars to show what they are capable of. Depth and role-players are important, but with the field narrowed to this point, it’s stars that will carry the day.

Here is the top player from each of the Sweet 16 teams, organized by seeding.

10-seed Virginia

Kymora Johnson: The junior forward led the ACC in minutes (37.1) and assists (5.8), while also averaging over 10 points more per game than any of her teammates, at 19.5. She ranks sixth in the nation in 3-pointers, with 99, and even at just 5-foot-7 pulls down 4.5 rebounds per game. Johnson also played all 50 minutes of the double-overtime win over 2-seed Iowa that brought Virginia to the Sweet 16 – the Lady Hoos are here because of Johnson in more ways than one, and the first-ever First Four team to reach the Sweet 16 will need her to lead them beyond that point, too.

6-seed Notre Dame

Hannah Hidalgo: Hannah Hidalgo might have lost Olivia Miles to the transfer portal and TCU and third-overall pick Sonia Citron to the WNBA before her junior season, but it just made the Fighting Irish even more her team. She scored a career-best 25.2 points per game to lead the ACC and finish third in the nation overall, while leading Division I by averaging 5.6 steals. Hidalgo isn’t effective from deep, but she slashes and drives, picking up plenty of fouls in the process, and knows when to dish, too, with 5.2 assists per game — that high-energy style also helped the 5-foot-6 guard to 6.7 rebounds per game, tied for the team-high. Among the players still in March Madness, Hidalgo is second in Player Efficiency Rating (PER) at an even 40.0. 

5-seed Kentucky

Clara Strack: The 6-foot-5 center from Kentucky didn’t lead the SEC in any statistical category besides total blocks, but don’t let that fool you: the Wildcats are built around her excellence, and she delivers. Strack has averaged a double-double this season, with 16.9 points and 10.3 rebounds, and her 91 blocks put her just one shy of the NCAA lead. She spends a ton of time in the paint both shooting and rebounding, but Strack has shown an ability to hit from 3 before, as well — in the SEC tournament this year against Georgia, Strack went 5-for-7 from beyond the arc, the most 3s any SEC women’s player of her height or greater has ever sank in a single game.

4-seed North Carolina

Nyla Harris: UNC’s strength is more in its depth than in stars, but senior forward and Louisville transfer Nyla Harris is the best of the bunch. She led the Tar Heels in minutes, points per game (11.5) and rebounds (6.9), and despite that points stat not jumping off the page, the 6-foot-2 Harris also led the entire ACC in Offensive Rating, at 123.6 — remember, superstar Hannah Hidalgo is also in the conference. Harris has shot 58.2% for the season and averages 3.1 offensive rebounds per game: about the only thing keeping her numbers down is that she plays 23.4 minutes per game, but what that tells you is that she’s highly efficient in her time on the court. She’s also been averaging more minutes since conference play kicked off, with at least 30 minutes (and as many as 42) in 10 of her last 20 games: North Carolina ramps her playing time up when it has to, and for the rest of March Madness, it will have to.

4-seed Minnesota 

Amaya Battle: It’s difficult to pick just one Minnesota Golden Gopher to feature, since they have five players averaging at least 11.1 points per game, all of which have between 3.0 and 7.5 rebounds and 1.1 and 3.6 assists per game, too. Senior guard Amaya Battle, though, is the team leader in both boards and dimes, and second among Minnesota starters in Defensive Rating, as well. And while she’s not the top scorer on the team, it was still Battle who got the chance to fire off the game-winning, last-second shot against Ole Miss in the round of 32.

4-seed Oklahoma

Raegan Beers: The 6-foot-2 senior forward led the SEC in FG% (61.7%), 2P% (66.5%) and effective FG% (62.5%). She averaged 15.8 points per game with 10.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and a block, and while she averaged just 24.7 minutes per game, much of that was also managing rest — Raegan Beers exceeded her average with between 25 and 36 minutes in 15 of her 33 games. With an exception for a few games with foul trouble — Beers’ use of her size in the paint can occasionally cause problems there, as you would expect — most of the low-minute contests were because Oklahoma was up by enough to give her a break. Beers was named a USBWA All-American Third Team player this season, has won gold with USA Basketball in FIBA competition and has a shot at being selected in the WNBA Draft, too.

3-seed TCU

Olivia Miles: While Beers could be a WNBA Draft pick, Miles is not only going to be a lottery selection but likely one of the top three selections in the whole thing. She’s one of the best facilitators in the game, to the point that her 6.6 assists per game this year were a step back from where she’s been at other times in his career, but much of that was because she was also TCU’s best-overall offensive threat. The fifth-year guard transferred to the Horned Frogs for the 2025-2026 season from Notre Dame, and paired up with another transfer in Marta Suarez to bring TCU to the Sweet 16 yet again. In addition to the dimes, Miles also averaged 7.2 rebounds and 19.4 points, led the Big 12 in minutes per game (35.3) and the nation in total minutes, was named a Second Team All-American by both the AP and USBWA, finished with a PER of 30.4 and led the conference in adjusted Plus/Minus at 14.1. Oh, and she had six triple-doubles this season, while just missing a seventh (and second-consecutive) against Washington in the round of 32.

3-seed Louisville

Imari Berry: Sophomore guard Imari Berry had a significant breakout in her second season with Louisville, as the Cardinals nearly doubled her minutes, with the result being 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. It might seem odd to highlight a bench player as the top performer on a Sweet 16 team, but Berry is no “mere” bench player: she was named the ACC’s Sixth Player of the Year and earned Second-Team All-ACC honors, too. She ranks third on the Cardinals in both Offensive Rating and Defensive Rating, and is second in PER despite playing 23.4 minutes per game from the bench with just a pair of starts in 36 games. She averages 3.5 3s on 38.1% shooting, and her Per 40 minutes stats make her look like she’s a starting gig away from becoming a star without an asterisk.

3-seed Duke

Toby Fournier: As a freshman, Toby Fournier averaged 20.2 minutes per game, but those were all off the bench. As a sophomore, the forward stepped into a starting role for Duke, and she took full advantage of the opportunity. She leads the Blue Devils in points (17.4) rebounds (8.0), and PER (30.4), was named Third-Team by both the Associated Press and USBWA, has the best Defensive Rating among Duke starters and the second-best Offensive Rating on the team. She also tied for ninth in the nation in total blocks, with 77, posted nine double-doubles in 34 games, and like Duke as a whole became an even better player as the year went on and conference play took over.

2-seed LSU

Flau’jae Johnson: By pure numbers, Flau’jae Johnson appears to be having a down year. But it’s not her so much as LSU having more options, which is part of why it has had such a dangerous offense this season. Johnson is scoring 14.3 points per game, down from last year’s career-best 18.6, but Kim Mulkey has also been spreading minutes around more — Johnson is down 6.5 minutes per game, but also shot 40% from beyond the arc and managed a career-best 2.6 assists per game despite the drop in playing time. She was also named a Third Team All-American by the AP and USBWA for the second year in a row, and the senior guard is a likely top-5 pick in the WNBA Draft — LSU needs her to spread the minutes and ball around right now to teammates like MiLaysia Fulwiley, Mikaylah Williams, ZaKiyah Johnson and Jada Richard — all guards like Johnson, by the way — but she has also been an excellent defensive presence who can be more of a feature scorer in big games if the Tigers need her to ramp up.

2-seed Michigan

Olivia Olson: Olson, an Associated Press and USBWA Third-Team All-American, improved nearly across the board in 2025-2026. Her overall shooting percentage went up even if her 3-point rate dropped, and she jumped from 16.3 points to 19.2 points per game while seeing a dip in fouls and increases in rebounds, assists and steals. The sophomore guard led Michigan in points and boards — all but three players on the Wolverines are at least six feet tall, but it is not a rebound-heavy squad — and she finished second in Offensive Rating behind another sophomore guard, Te’Yala Delfosse, but did so in nearly 400 more minutes played. When Olson is on and the 3s are falling, she’s a menace, and the most dangerous player in Michigan’s backcourt. 

2-seed Vanderbilt

Mikayla Blakes: Mikayla Blakes is the nation’s scoring leader, at 27 points per game — a jump up from last season’s already impressive 23.3 mark. The sophomore guard is much more than “just” a scorer, though, as she fights for rebounds (4.0 per game) and is happy to pass to a teammate if they have the better shot — and they often do, since Blakes is averaging 4.6 assists per game. Blakes was voted a First Team All-American by both the AP and USBWA, and she is the most explosive offensive player in the tournament — and Division I as a whole. She ranks fourth among players remaining in the tournament in PER, second in adjusted Offensive Plus/Minus, and when she’s hot can just take over an entire game: Blakes scored at least 30 points in 13 of her 33 games this year, including a stretch of four in a row and seven of eight, all in SEC play. You know, the conference with six of the 16 Sweet 16 teams in it. She has only gotten better as the year has gone on, and that’s bad news for opposing defenses.

1-seed South Carolina

Joyce Edwards: South Carolina is likely graduating two first-round WNBA picks in center Madina Okot and guard Ta’Niya Latson. And yet, sophomore forward Joyce Edwards is still the star, as a blend of high-quality offense (122.4 Offensive Rating) and defense (78.5 Defensive Rating). Edwards was named to the AP and USBWA Second Team All-American squad, after jumping from 12.2 to 19.9 points per game, while also seeing significant increases in rebounds (6.4), assists (2.3), steals (1.8) and blocks (1.1). Edwards shot 59.5% this year, and fights for offensive boards, not just defensive ones. South Carolina is loaded with stars — the Gamecocks have Okot, Latson and AP Third Team selection Raven Johnson besides — but Edwards manages to stick out in that group.

1-seed Texas

Madison Booker: For the second year in a row, Texas Longhorns’ forward Madison Booker was named a First Team All-American. For her junior year, she was the best she’s ever been, though: Booker has played a career-high in minutes (32.4), jumped her scoring to 19.3 per game, saw a slight increase in rebounds (6.7) and a significant one in assists (3.8) and steals (2.2). She was far and away the best offensive player among starters, posting a 124.7 Offensive Rating, but she’s as good as any defender on this defense-heavy squad, too — Booker is a double-threat, and it’s that balance that makes the Longhorns as a whole so dangerous. Booker just had her best game of the year in the round of 32: 40 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a 14-for-21 showing in 35 minutes against Oregon, in a game Texas won 100-58. She is averaging 22.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game since the SEC conference tournament began five games ago, and shot 61.6% in that time.

1-seed UCLA

Lauren Betts: Where do you begin with Lauren Betts? The height, probably: she is 6-foot-7, and unlike a number of true centers in the game, not tied down to working solely within the paint. Consider: when earlier this year Michigan threatened in its final possession, down 3 against UCLA, it was Betts harassing sophomore Syla Swords on the perimeter, using her length and height advantage to ensure the much smaller guard could not get comfortable or create space for a clean 3. Betts doesn’t score at the rate of Audi Crooks or average a dozen rebounds per game, but it’s that she’s a big who can score (17.1), rebound (8.7) and has court vision (3.2 assists) while being a dominant defensive force who can impact the game wherever she stands that makes her difficult to solve: the senior has the best Defensive Rating in the Big Ten, at 78.8 points allowed per 100 possessions, and last year won the Naismith Women’s College Defensive Player of the Year award; to go back to Crooks for a moment, Iowa State’s junior center finished at 93.4. Betts is a likely lottery pick in the WNBA Draft for a reason.

1-seed UConn

Sarah Strong: As a freshman, UConn forward Sarah Strong led all of Division I in Defensive Rating, at 65.3 points per 100 possessions. She was named a Second Team All-American by the Associated Press for that and for leading the Big East in FG% (58.6%), 2P% (68.3%) and effective FG% (65%). Strong has been even better as a sophomore: she once again led the conference in all three of those categories, except at 60%, 68.4% and  66.6%, respectively. Her 133.4 Offensive Rating led the Big East, as well, and Strong, in just 26.4 minutes per game thanks to Geno Auriemma’s aggressive rest policy for starters, averaged 18.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, a Big East-best 3.3 steals and 1.6 blocks per game in 2025-2026. Her Defensive Rating once again led Division I, this time at just 55.8 — no one in the history of D-I women’s basketball has ever before had a career Defensive Rating as low as Strong’s 60.9 mark through her first 75 games. She received Associated Press and USBWA First Team All-American honors for a reason, and very well might end up as the overall Player of the Year, too.

Underdog Promo Comparison vs Other Daily Fantasy Sports Apps

How Does the Underdog Sign-Up Bonus Compare to the Competition?

When it comes to welcome offers, Underdog stands out with its Play $5, Get $50 in Bonus Funds promotion using code FOXSPORTS. This low-barrier offer requires only a $5 entry, making it one of the most accessible thresholds among daily fantasy sports apps. The bonus delivers guaranteed value—players receive the full $50 whether their initial entry wins or loses—but it must be used within 14 days of activation.

Compared to other platforms, Underdog’s offer is simpler and more immediate. DraftKings Fantasy gives new users a free entry into large-prize contests with their first deposit, which offers big upside but no guaranteed bonus funds. Betr provides $10 free on signup plus a 100% deposit match up to $200, a higher ceiling than Underdog but with larger deposit requirements. Sleeper matches deposits 100% up to $100, which is straightforward but doesn’t surpass Underdog’s flat $50 bonus. Chalkboard combines a 100% deposit match up to $100 with a Free Square, but the structure is a bit more complex to maximize.

Overall, Underdog’s Play $5, Get $50 promo is one of the most user-friendly and accessible offers in the DFS space. While some competitors provide higher potential bonuses, they usually involve larger deposits or greater risk. Underdog is well-positioned for casual players who want instant, guaranteed value without a big financial commitment.

The app features a bright, modern aesthetic with intuitive navigation tabs for Pick’em, Drafts, Contests, and Account. Building entries is straightforward—players can tap on lines, choose between flex or power play, and confirm their entry with a single click. The drafting interface for Best Ball contests is particularly well designed, allowing users to draft in real time directly from their mobile device. Performance is generally smooth with quick load times, though there can be occasional lag during high-traffic moments like NFL Sundays. Overall, the platform is highly user-friendly and optimized for quick, seamless play, making it approachable for both new and experienced users.

Underdog Mobile App Review

The Underdog mobile app is built for speed and convenience, offering fast and reliable payment integrations through PayPal, credit and debit cards, Venmo, and Apple Pay. The contest lobby updates in real time, allowing users to see the latest pick’em lines and draft entries as they become available. Notifications keep players informed about contest results, winnings, and new promotions, making it easy to stay engaged without constantly checking the app. A secure wallet system clearly tracks deposits, entries, and winnings, giving users full visibility into their funds. Overall, Underdog offers one of the smoothest and highest-rated DFS app experiences in the U.S., with performance and usability that match its growing popularity.

Underdog Contest Variety & Market Depth

Underdog Fantasy offers a strong mix of contest types and market depth that appeal to a wide range of players. Pick’em contests are the centerpiece, allowing users to select two to five player stat lines (higher or lower) with payout multipliers that increase based on the number of picks in each entry. Best Ball drafts have become a fan favorite, especially for NFL season-long play, where users draft once and Underdog automatically sets the optimal lineup each week. For those who prefer shorter commitments, daily and weekly drafts are available across major sports like the NBA, MLB, and NFL. The platform also supports private contests, making it easy to create and join friends’ leagues for a more social and competitive DFS experience.

Underdog Payout Competitiveness

Underdog Fantasy keeps payouts simple and transparent through standardized multipliers for its pick’em contests. Two picks pay out at 3×, three picks at 6×, four picks at 10×, and five picks at 20×. This fixed structure makes it easy for players to understand potential returns without worrying about changing odds or complex pricing models. Draft contests and Best Ball formats use prize pools, with winnings determined by the number of entries and final placement. Unlike traditional sportsbooks such as FanDuel or DraftKings, Underdog doesn’t factor in juice or variable odds—payouts are fixed, shifting the focus toward smart player selection rather than line shopping. This straightforward approach is a major draw for players who prefer clarity and consistency in their wagering.

Betting Features & Innovation

Underdog Fantasy distinguishes itself with a mix of innovative features that enhance both flexibility and engagement. The insurance option through Flex pick’em entries gives players a safety net, offering reduced payouts if one leg misses and lowering overall risk. Its Best Ball format has become a signature offering, with Underdog emerging as the clear leader in season-long fantasy drafts and drawing massive participation for NFL contests each year. Player pick props are updated throughout the day across multiple sports, ensuring fresh opportunities for action. The platform also uses a simple wallet system, keeping entries and withdrawals in one place for quick and seamless access to winnings. Combined with private drafts, influencer collaborations, and integrated promos, Underdog creates a strong community feel that sets it apart from more transactional DFS platforms.

Underdog Deposit & Withdrawal Methods

Deposit Options: Underdog Fantasy supports a range of fast and reliable deposit methods to make funding an account simple. Players can use credit or debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover), which are the most common and are processed instantly. PayPal provides a secure eWallet option with immediate funding, while Venmo offers another quick and convenient way to add funds. Mobile users can also take advantage of Apple Pay or Google Pay for seamless deposits directly from their devices.

Across all options, deposits appear in the account instantly, ensuring players can start entering contests without delay.

Withdrawal Methods: Underdog Fantasy offers several secure and efficient withdrawal options to give players flexibility when cashing out. PayPal is the fastest and most reliable method, with most withdrawals processed within 24 to 48 hours. Direct-to-debit card withdrawals for Visa and Mastercard are also available, typically taking two to five business days to complete. Online banking via ACH provides a dependable alternative, usually processed within two to four business days. For those who prefer traditional methods, check by mail is an option, though it’s slower and can take over a week. The minimum withdrawal amount is generally $10, making it easy for players to access their winnings without meeting high thresholds.

Processing Notes: Before making a first withdrawal on Underdog Fantasy, users may be asked to verify their identity or provide payment proof to ensure account security. Withdrawals are generally processed back to the original deposit method whenever possible, a standard measure to prevent fraud and money laundering. It’s also important to note that any bonus funds must meet the required playthrough terms before they become eligible for withdrawal. These policies help maintain a secure and compliant payment system while ensuring a smooth experience for verified users.

Trust & Safety

Underdog Fantasy operates with a strong emphasis on trust and player safety. The platform is licensed and regulated in the U.S. states where it’s active, typically under fantasy sports and DFS regulations rather than traditional sportsbook laws. It’s legally available in dozens of states, though availability depends on local regulations, so it’s always smart to confirm the current active states. Since launching in 2020, Underdog has grown rapidly, earning a strong reputation among fantasy players for its best ball contests and expanding pick’em games, even as it remains smaller than industry giants like FanDuel and DraftKings.

The company is backed by significant venture capital funding and strategic partnerships, adding further credibility. Within the app, players can set deposit and entry limits, as well as use playtime controls to manage their activity. There are also options for self-exclusion and cooling-off periods for those who need a break.

bet365 Promo Comparison vs Other Sportsbooks

bet365’s headline welcome offer — Bet $10, Get $365 in Bonus Bets — is one of the most accessible promos in the industry, requiring only a minimal $10 wager to unlock a sizable bonus. Unlike BetMGM’s $1,500 First Bet Safety Net or Caesars’ 20× Profit Boost Tokens, which cater more to high-stakes or highly strategic bettors, bet365’s low barrier to entry makes it especially appealing to casual players who want immediate value.

FanDuel offers a Bet Reset Token and DraftKings offers similar “Bet $5, Get” bonuses, though DraftKing’s comes in at $200 in bonuses. Now, bet365’s $365 in credits is simple to claim, and easier to use without needing complex conditions.

bet365 Sportsbook App Market Depth & Betting Options

While U.S. players will find all the major leagues covered, the book’s international reach — especially in soccer, cricket, and tennis — sets it apart. That said, it isn’t known for posting the earliest lines, and DraftKings still leads in sheer volume of player props, but bet365 delivers a strong variety of alternative lines and Same Game Parlays (SGPs) across every sport that matters.

Sports You Can Bet On With bet365

• College Football Odds
• NBA Odds
• MLB Odds
• UFC Odds
• And more: NHL, soccer, golf, tennis, cricket, and beyond

bet365 Bet Types

Key Events You Can Bet On With bet365

For bettors who want both breadth and reliability, bet365 is tough to beat. It may not offer the absolute largest prop menu, but its mix of mainstream U.S. markets, niche betting options, and elite international coverage makes it one of the most versatile sportsbooks available.

bet365 Odds Competitiveness

bet365 is widely considered one of the sharpest sportsbooks globally, consistently posting some of the most competitive odds available. While U.S.-based operators like FanDuel and DraftKings often push promos, bet365 attracts serious players with long-term pricing value.

Examples:

• Soccer & international markets: bet365 often leads in odds quality, reflecting its European dominance.
• U.S. leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL): margins are usually tighter, making spreads and totals especially appealing for value hunters.
• Futures markets: bet365 regularly posts competitive futures prices across Super Bowl, NBA Finals, and international tournaments.
• Parlays: combined with its 100% parlay boosts, sharp odds deliver better long-term returns.

Unlike Caesars, which leans on its Rewards ecosystem, or FanDuel, which markets big one-off promos, bet365’s differentiator is sustained odds value.

Betting Features & Innovation

• Cash Out: offered on most pre-game and in-play wagers.
• Profit Boosts/Bet Boosts: frequent, across multiple sports, not just 1/day.
• Live Streaming: tennis, soccer, some niche sports — limited U.S. coverage vs. international app.
• Early Payouts: MLB (5-run lead), NHL (3-goal lead), soccer (2-goal lead)

Innovations:

• bet365’s live betting hub is considered best-in-class globally. Only FanDuel’s can compete, and that’s debatable.
• Strong stat integration.
• Easy toggle between pre-game and in-play markets.
• Positioning: bet365 emphasizes functionality and betting depth.

bet365 Live Betting Platform: Best in Class

Live betting is where bet365 has always differentiated itself; this is their global calling card.

Market Coverage

• Nearly every pre-game market transitions into in-play betting.
• Robust SGP (same-game parlay) functionality for live markets (relatively rare among U.S. operators).
• International depth: live soccer, tennis, cricket, rugby, darts — sports that are underserved by U.S.-first books like FanDuel and DraftKings.

Odds Refresh Speed & Stability

• Odds update almost in real time, with minimal “suspension” (when a market locks after a key play).
• Particularly strong during soccer and tennis — markets shift fluidly between points, games, or goals.
• Compare favorably to Caesars or BetMGM, where odds suspensions can frustrate bettors during big moments.

Interface & User Experience

• Live scoreboard integration for most events, with animated play-by-play graphics.
• Stats feed built into the betting screen: possession, shots, fouls (soccer); aces, break points (tennis); team/individual stats for U.S. sports.
• Bet builder function allows stacking in-play wagers without leaving the screen.

Standout Features

• Early Payouts tied directly to live betting outcomes (e.g., MLB 5-run lead, NHL 3-goal lead, soccer 2-goal lead).
• Cash Out option is always visible and recalculates instantly during games.
• Live streaming — more limited in U.S. than in Europe, but available for soccer, tennis, and select niche sports. International customers have more streaming options, but the U.S. platform still delivers better than average.

In summary, bet365 is the gold standard in live betting, both globally and in the U.S. Other sportsbooks are catching up, but bet365 remains the one most serious in-play bettors prefer. If live betting is your priority, bet365 is arguably the best choice on the market.

bet365 Promotions

Unlike DraftKings and FanDuel, bet365 doesn’t rely on constant flashy promos; its pitch is reliability and value over volume. The promo menu is smaller but more practical, centered on parlay boosts, early payout offers, and simple bet boosts. Rather than cycling gimmicky one-offs, bet365 sticks to a consistent set of evergreen deals. Its early payouts are among the most bettor-friendly in the U.S., and its parlay boosts can add up to 100% when many rivals cap lower. Terms are straightforward with minimal fine print, though you’ll see fewer splashy, event-driven promos around things like March Madness or the Super Bowl. Overall, the approach fits the brand: a trusted international sportsbook that’s stable and less gimmicky. You get less variety than some U.S. competitors, but the boosts and early payouts are higher quality.

Some versions of the promo also offer a “First Bet Safety Net” (up to $1,000) for bettors who prefer a higher maximum (with more risk).

Is bet365 legit?

Yes — overall bet365 is considered a legitimate, reputable sportsbook with strong global credentials. It is well established internationally, regulated in multiple jurisdictions (e.g. UK, Gibraltar). In the U.S., it holds legal licenses in states where it operates, and abides by local regulations. Withdrawal systems, banking, and user security tend to be solid, with relatively transparent terms. That said, like any sportsbook, you should carefully review the terms & conditions, especially for your state (bonus rules, wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, etc.).

Relief for Italy. Heartbreak for Ireland. And justification for 40-year-old players still creating epic moments.

Thursday’s World Cup qualifying action had it all. 

The penultimate round of the UEFA playoffs for the 2026 FIFA World Cup (which will feature 48 teams this summer) was an absolute golazo fest with 26 goals in a full slate of matches. Only four of the eight teams that are still standing will book a spot in this summer’s tournament. Meanwhile, two other spots will be up for grabs between four teams (Jamaica, Bolivia, Iraq and DR Congo) in the intercontinental playoff. 

[WHEN AND WHERE: Full Schedule for 2026 FIFA World Cup]

Before we look ahead to Tuesday’s matches, let’s take a look back at the best of the day in FOX Sports’ World Cup Roundup:

Kreshnik Hajrizi’s match-deciding goal might be the one that goes down in Kosovo history, but it would be a shame if Florent Muslija’s free kick got lost in the mix — what a goal.

Assist of the Day: Arda Güler, Türkiye

If Turkiye clinches its spot in the World Cup, you can expect to see a lot more of Real Madrid wonderkid Arda Guler. Güler didn’t make his way onto the score sheet on Thursday, but he did magnificently setup Ferdi Kadıoğlu’s match-winning goal.

Best Vintage Performance: Edin Džeko, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Edin Dzeko made his first and only appearance at the World Cup in 2014 with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the age of 28. Now 40 years old, Džeko is trying to will his country to its first appearance at the tournament since then, and he got off to a great start with a decisive goal in the semifinals.

Save of the Day: Karl Darlow, Wales

Wales goalkeeper Karl Darlow can bow out of World Cup qualifying with his head held high. Not only did he save Bosnia and Herzegovina’s first attempt in Thursday’s penalty shootout, but he kept the match from ending in regulation with an outstanding save on the line.

What’s Next?

The 2026 World Cup European Playoffs will end on Tuesday, with four teams all vying for a spot in this summer’s tournament. Meanwhile, the two other spots will be up for grabs on Tuesday between four intercontinental nations (Bolivia, Iraq, DR Congo and Jamaica). 

Here is Tuesday’s full match schedule:

The winner of this game will join Group B (co-hosts Canada, Qatar, Switzerland). The winner’s games will be played in Toronto (vs. Canada), Los Angeles (vs. Switzerland) and Seattle (vs. Qatar).

The winner between Sweden and Poland will join the Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia in Group F. Those games will be played in Monterrey, Mexico (vs. Tunisia), Houston (vs. the Netherlands) and Arlington, Texas. (vs. Japan).

The winner of the Türkiye-Kosovo match on Tuesday will join the USA, Paraguay and Australia in Group D. Those matches will be played in Vancouver (vs. Australia), Santa Clara, Calif. (vs. Paraguay) and Los Angeles (vs. the USA).

The winner of the Denmark-Czechia match will join co-hosts Mexico, South Africa and South Korea in Group A at the World Cup. Those games will be played in Guadalajara (vs. South Korea), Atlanta (vs. South Africa) and Mexico City (vs. Mexico).

The winner of the Iraq vs. Bolivia match will join France, Senegal and Norway in Group I. Those matches will be played in Foxborough, Mass. (vs. Norway), Philadelphia (vs. France) and Toronto (vs. Senegal).

The winner of this match will join Portugal, Uzbekistan and Colombia in Group K. Matches will be played in Houston (vs. Portugal), Guadalajara (vs. Colombia) and Atlanta (vs. Uzbekistan.)

It’s almost time. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to 16 different cities across Canada, Mexico and the United States this summer, and you’ll be able to catch all the action with FOX Sports, America’s English-language home for the 48-team soccer bonanza.

Here is the full broadcast schedule for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and how you can watch every game:
