Jon Berti (SS/3B/OF, MIA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~240s CURRENT ADP: ~260 overall ANALYSIS: Until last season, Jon Berti seemed destined to be marked as a career minor leaguer, as he had never played above Triple-A in his first eight seasons. But those types of players can easily find their way into the mix in Miami, where Berti earned 256 […]


Late-Round Values and Fliers for Stolen Bases (Premium Content)

There is so much more of a fantasy baseball focus on stolen bases over the past few seasons.

Why Lamar Jackson Should Be a First-Round Pick in 2020

Sometimes I like to make noise and some headlines if I can. That is why I host shows six days a week on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio representing RotoBaller.

Super Futures: Early 2020 Fantasy Outlooks for Chiefs and 49ers

Now that the Super Bowl is over, fantasy football purists are already looking ahead to the NFL Draft and next season.

Saturday’s AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Titans and Ravens may have been much more than just the biggest upset of the NFL season.

If you talk to a New York Jets fan, they will likely share numerous stories of disappointment and tales of woe. A heavy portion of their fans were not old enough to see them win the franchise’s only Super Bowl title. Since the 1970 merger, the Jets have never even played in a Super Bowl, […]
