In six innings of work against the fiery Nats, Straily surrendered just one run off three hits while […]

Two Time Superbowl Champion DE Justin Tuck Retires

Justin Tuck retired at the end of the 2015-16 season, leaving behind a career filled with numerous accolades and accomplishments. Even more important, as evident in the Oakland Raiders’ defense last season, was the impact he left on the guys he played with. Tuck was drafted by the New York Giants in the third round of […]

Lamar Miller Has Newfound Fantasy Value In Houston

The Miami Dolphins were a train wreck in 2015, plenty of the blame should be put on the shoulders of the coaching staff for using running back Lamar Miller so poorly. The Dolphins underutilized one of their best offensive weapons, and Miller was wise to jettison the Dolphins for Houston in free agency. Miller finished last season averaging […]

Class-Act DE Justin Tuck Retires as a Champion On and Off The Football Field

Justin Tuck announced his retirement from the NFL at the end of the 2015 season, leaving behind a career filled with numerous accolades and achievements. On top of personal glory, Tuck made an impact on those he played with as was evident in the Oakland Raiders’ greatly-improved defense. Tuck was taken by the New York Giants in […]

J.T. Realmuto Will Be a Bargain Catcher For Fantasy Owners This Year

J.T. Realmuto had a solid rookie season for the Miami Marlins in 2015 where he finished with a .259 average, 10 HR and a .290 OBP. Like most of the Miami Marlins last year, Realmuto was inconsistent for most of the season, though he did have a couple of months where he looked like a […]

Wei-Yin Chen Looks To Continue Success With Miami Marlins

The Miami Marlins received a much-needed boost to their starting rotation after they landed lefty Wei-Yin Chen from the Baltimore Orioles. Chen was a solid complement to Ubaldo Jimenez in Baltimore and should fare just as well alongside Jose Fernandez. Chen’s 3.34 ERA was tops for the Orioles in 2015 and seventh-lowest in the American […]

Justin Bour Should be Considered a Top-15 First Baseman

Justin Bour only played in 123 games last season, but he made the most of his opportunity. Lost in the fanfare of Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Fernandez and Dee Gordon, Bour is a powerful, left-handed slugger playing first base in Miami. But don’t let the lack of name recognition fool you. He finished 2015 with a […]

Christian Yelich Looks to Build Off Strong 2015 Campaign

Miami Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich put together a solid 2015 despite a pair of mid-season DL stints. In 2015, Yelich finished with a .300 average and 143 hits in just 126 games after a lower back strain caused him to miss time in April and May, while a knee contusion kept him out of the […]

Jose Fernandez Remains a Top-Five Fantasy Pitcher in 2016

When healthy, Jose Fernandez has the type of stuff that most pitchers dream about. Fernandez stormed onto the major-league stage during his 2013 rookie season where he finished with a 12-6 record, a 2.19 ERA and a .98 WHIP. He also notched 187 strikeouts in 172.2 IP. Unfortunately, Tommy John surgery in 2014 shut Fernandez […]

Dee Gordon is Fantasy Baseball's Best Second Baseman for 2016

After a head-scratching trade sent him from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Miami Marlins, Dee Gordon’s 2015 season was the best of any major-league second baseman. In just his second year as a big-league starter, Gordon finished with a .333 average, 205 hits, 24 doubles, eight triples and 58 stolen bases. His highly successful […]

Giancarlo Stanton is Still a Top-Five Fantasy Baseball Pick in 2016

Giancarlo Stanton was a monster in 2015 before a broken hand in late June shut his season down. Stanton, who was on track for an MVP-caliber year, had 27 HR and 67 RBI, both which led the NL, before suffering that broken hand. If Stanton could stay healthy for an entire season, he would consistently […]

Week 16 Lineup Studs? Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyrod Taylor, Alex Smith

Ryan Fitzpatrick has quietly been one of the most consistent quarterbacks in fantasy football this season. Though he was originally brought in as more of a game manager, Fitzpatrick has shredded that label with a vengeance. He’s averaged nearly 24 fantasy points per game over the last month, and he’s found success by limiting the […]

Week 16 Tight End Outlooks: Delanie Walker, Gary Barnidge, Julius Thomas

There haven’t been many more tight ends who’ve had the type of year Delanie Walker has. It doesn’t matter who his quarterback is either. Somehow, Walker has found a way to get open, and he’s about to finish the most impressive season of his NFL career. Walker has averaged nearly 13 fantasy points per game […]

Week 16 WR Booms: Jarvis Landry, Mike Evans, Golden Tate

Like most of Miami’s offense this year, Jarvis Landry has been difficult to gauge when it comes to fantasy production. Landry has only amassed double-digit fantasy points once in his last five games, but it was a monster 23-point performance against the New York Jets in Week 12. Even though he isn’t putting up the […]

Week 16 QB Booms: Blake Bortles, Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford

With second-year quarterback Blake Bortles at the helm, the offense of the Jacksonville Jaguars is playing like a unit we’re not used to seeing. With the help of Allen Robinson and Julius Thomas, Bortles has been able to elevate his game tremendously this season. Bortles is averaging more than 26 fantasy points per game over […]

Week 15 Tight End Outlooks: Delanie Walker, Gary Barnidge, Julius Thomas

Delanie Walker is enjoying his finest season as a pro this year with Tennessee, and he’s become one of the most reliable tight ends in fantasy football. Walker has averaged more than 10 fantasy points per game over the last month, and only once did he score a touchdown in that span. He’s seeing a […]

Week 15 Lineup Busts: Blaine Gabbert, Brandon LaFell, Frank Gore

The San Francisco 49ers had a Week 14 performance they’d like to put behind them for the rest of eternity. The 49ers’ woeful offensive line allowed the abysmal Browns defense to sack Blaine Gabbert an unprecedented nine times in a 24-10 Cleveland victory, and you have to wonder how truly awful San Francisco’s offensive line […]

Week 15 Lineup Booms? Michael Crabtree, Lamar Miller, A.J. Green

Over his last five games, Michael Crabtree’s numbers have been nothing more than mediocre. Crabtree, who recently signed an extension to stay in Oakland for the next few years, has cooled off since tearing it up with three-straight double-digit fantasy outings from Weeks 7-9. Crabtree has only amassed 178 yards in his last five games, […]

Week 15 Quarterback Outlooks: Drew Brees, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford

After a history of inconsistent road play, including his seven-point fantasy performance against the Houston Texans in Week 12, Drew Brees turned it around last week in Tampa Bay by finishing with 312 yards and two touchdowns for 20.4 fantasy points. It was Brees’ second-straight 20-point performance, and he should enjoy the same success on […]

Week 14 Tight End Outlooks: Gary Barnidge, Delanie Walker and Antonio Gates

Much like the kicker, the tight end can be one of the most maddening positions in fantasy football. Unless you have Rob Gronkowski or Greg Olsen, chances are you’re almost always limiting the amount of production you think your tight end will get you during the week. With that being said, there have been a […]

Week 14 Booms? Jarvis Landry, Allen Robinson and Jeremy Maclin

Jarvis Landry had an abysmal performance against a generous Baltimore Ravens secondary by finishing with just two catches for five yards in Week 13. It was Landry’s worst performance of the season by far, but the Dolphins resorted more to the ground game and utilized running backs Lamar Miller and Jay Ajayi for the majority […]

Fantasy Stock Down? Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree

The Oakland Raiders’ offensive resurgence has been fun to watch this year, mostly because they haven’t had a solid offense since they went to the Super Bowl in 2003. Derek Carr has shown tremendous signs of improvement in his sophomore season, and he’s gotten some help with wide receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, as […]

Week 14 Booms: Lamar Miller and Alshon Jeffery

The first round of fantasy football playoffs has officially begun, and for those who were fortunate enough to extend their seasons past Week 13, knocking it out of the park during the first round of the postseason is extremely rewarding. With that in mind, let’s take a look at two guys who should reward their […]

Calm Your Expectations for DeSean Jackson and Davante Adams?

DeSean Jackson has been a bust since coming to Washington from Philadelphia. There's really no other way to put it. Between the injuries and the overall lack of production, Jackson hasn't been anything close to the No. 1 threat the Redskins were hoping for. Jackson's been back for two weeks now, but has only managed […]

Jordan Reed, Eric Ebron, Tyler Eifert and Travis Kelce Solid Tight End Options

Jordan Reed has been a touchdown machine for the Washington Redskins over the last three games. During that span, Reed has totaled 17 catches, five touchdowns and 41.9 fantasy points. The Redskins’ offense is still pretty inept despite that 47-point outburst last week. The New Orleans Saints defense is awful, so every big outing against […]

Lamar Miller, Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman Will Have Great Performances in Week 11

If you can find a hotter running back than Lamar Miller when it comes to fantasy football, I’d love to see it. Chances are you can’t, because Miller has been an absolute monster since Dan Campbell took over as head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Miller has averaged more than 20 points per game over […]

Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree Should Have Huge Games Against Lions

For the first time in a month, the fiery Oakland Raiders offense looked rather pedestrian after the Minnesota Vikings shut them down in Week 10. Fortunately for the Raiders, they’ll face a Detroit Lions team that isn’t very good at stopping anybody. Don’t be fooled by their appalling victory over the Green Bay Packers last […]

Delanie Walker, Kyle Rudolph, Travis Kelce and Gary Barnidge are Must-Starts This Week

Unless you have Rob Gronkowski or Greg Olsen on your team, chances are you've a hard time getting consistency from your tight end. Luckily, there are four guys who are sure to have solid outings this week. Delanie Walker exploded for 23.5 fantasy points against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, and he was […]

Derek Carr and Michael Crabtree Poised for Big Games in Week 10

With the exception of Philip Rivers and Drew Brees, Derek Carr has been one of the NFL’s hottest quarterbacks. You read that right. The Oakland Raiders have found something special in Carr, and he’s been on an absolute tear since the Raiders returned from their bye week. Carr has thrown for 923 yards and 10 […]

Calm Your Expectations for Jonathan Stewart, Jeremy Langford and Chris Johnson?

Week 10 features some pretty favorable running back matchups, but that is not the case with these three guys. Jonathan Stewart has rejuvenated his season after three-straight quality outings, but he stumbled a bit against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. After totaling 45 fantasy points in Weeks 6-8, Stewart only finished with 6.8 […]
