FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/30/15
If it weren’t for Jon Lester’s gem of a start yesterday afternoon, Justin Verlander and company might have grabbed me my first GPP takedown. I still came out near the top, finishing with one lineup tripling my money and one lineup multiplying my investment by seven. So, it was a good day overall. Thursday, July […]

Kyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as High-End TE2 Current ADP: 165 STD, 147 PPR ANALYSIS: Although Minnesota is still looking for everything to come together for the injury-prone Kyle Rudolph, the immense size and upside are still there. Rudolph is 6’6” and 260 lbs-- making him a terrifying red zone threat. Between his foot injury […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/24/15
Holy pitching, Batman! As DFS analysts and players, it’s always interesting to find a slate that gives too few or too many viable options. In Friday, July 24th’s case, the options are plentiful. On a day like today, you have to weigh a few variables when selecting your go-to guy, especially because we only get […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/23/15
Well, it’s the second half of the season, and I’ve officially moved on from my “I want to cash” ways. Screw getting three times what I put in, I want to win some triple digit cash payouts! I’m still working on how exactly I should go about doing that, but I think a lot of […]

Can Vikings Tight End Kyle Rudolph Be Your Sleeper TE in 2015?
In most fantasy football leagues, managers only need to draft one tight end. Something tells me I’m going to struggle when deciding which one to target. Since writing a recent article on Travis Kelce and how he should continue to improve this year, I’ve found that I’m also in love with Kyle Rudolph. Not only […]

Put away the novels, stop binging on Netflix, cut back on that productivity you’ve been showing at work, and warn your families. Baseball is back! We have about 12 more weeks of playoff-race baseball before the summer ends and football takes over. Let’s make the most of the rest of this season. Click here to […]

Travis Kelce (TE, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as TE1 CURRENT ADP: 54 STD, 49 PPR ANALYSIS: Travis Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, but his opportunity for Gronk-like targets is increasing, as well. In 2014, Kelce reeled in 67 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns, despite a slow […]

Why Travis Kelce Will Be The Next Great Fantasy Tight End
Those who were big into fantasy football analysis this time last year heard far-off whispers that Travis Kelce might be the next big tight end to make a fantasy impact. This year, those whispers have turned into full-on roars from the tops of tall buildings. Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/10/15
Hey RotoBallers! This is my last FanDuel advice piece until the All-Star break, so here comes my shameless plug. Be on the lookout for a longer article that I’m going to write reflecting on the first half of the year. It will include lessons I’ve learned, strategies to go by, and plans for the second […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/9/15
I have a lack of entertainment in my intro today. Maybe I'll make up for it tomorrow, we'll see. For all of you that are still standing in the FanDuel free entry Survivor tournament (which hopefully is none of you since I'm giving away all of my thoughts), best of luck. Three more rounds until […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/3/15
I’m writing this draft prior to Scherzer pitching on Thursday, so if I’m burying the lead by saying that all of Thursday’s starters who returned from the DL (Jose Fernandez, Matt Cain, and Matt Moore) pitched pretty well overall. There are not meltdowns to reports. And yes, Fernandez might actually hit in the three spot […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 7/2/15
Happy #JoseDay everyone! Jose Fernandez long-awaited debut will be Thursday, and although I think it’s a little over-the-top to make a player’s start a national holiday, it does have a better ring than Harvey Day. The Marlins’ front office is just as excited as the fans are about this money-making return of what should be […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/26/15
Well, I’m sorry for those of you who went with Gerrit Cole last night. It hurts me to say that I felt an outing like that coming, especially because I’m a Pirates fan. The good news, however, is that outing is out of the way, and he can go ahead and continue being successful from […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/25/15
I was on a roll this past week. I’ve been cashing in tournaments and winning my head-to-heads (you can find me @BellRoto on Twitter and FanDuel and challenge me to a game). Then, Tuesday night hit. I missed with the majority of my hitters, and of course it was on a night when I felt great about […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/19/15
Now that the league-wide interleague play is over, we can get back to some “regular” baseball. No worries about DH or no DH. No two-game series’. Every team has a nice three-game tilt to end the week. I’m hoping to keep my success going, and hopefully this article can help you do the same. Friday, […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/18/15
I just recently had my most successful overall MLB FanDuel night. I only profited about eight bucks, simply because my bankroll is a little low right now, but it was cool to see all three of my lineups cash in tournaments. I took Wednesday night off, as I had to work two hours prior to […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/12/15
Well, the losing streak continued. I changed my mind from Edinson Volquez to Trevor Bauer at the last minute thanks to the positive weather update. I really wish I hadn’t done that. Oh well. It’s time to win some bankroll back on Friday. Friday night slates are fun. We do have one afternoon game on […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/11/15
Daily fantasy sports can be extremely frustrating sometimes. As of Wednesday afternoon, I’ve missed cashing in tournaments by less than two points in each of the last two nights. Alcides Escobar was a dud with -1 points on Tuesday, and Corey Kluber and Dallas Keuchel burned me on Wednesday. It’s such a disappointment knowing that […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 6/5/2015
It’s very challenging sometimes to make the transition from Thursday’s slate to Friday’s slate. On Thursday, your selection of games is limited, especially if you don’t include any afternoon games. Fast forward one day, and usually every team is playing a late game (like this Friday). It’s a challenge trying to find the right players […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 6/4/15
Don’t look now, but I’m starting to get on a roll on FanDuel. I’ve cashed in small tournaments the past two nights (I’m writing this before the end of Wednesday’s games, but I’m in good shape if Miguel Gonzalez can get a win), and I’ve been doing well in head-to-head games if you don’t include […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/29/15
We had a weird slate of games on Thursday, causing us east-coasters to either stay up way later than we should or go to bed with little knowledge of how our lineups would workout. In fact, as I’m writing this intro, I have no idea how my Thursday 5/29 lineup is going to do. I […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/28/15
After playing the “I’ll be conservative” game on FanDuel Wednesday and scoring 60 FD points in only 50/50 contests, I’m now fully committed to winning a few tournaments. Those 60 points were created mostly by the likes of Jacob DeGrom, Jose Abreu, and Josh Donaldson. Although, I did hear that it was a very high-scoring […]

Patrick Corbin (SP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis
Baller Move: Add in Deeper Leagues Owned In: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Patrick Corbin was a big fantasy name in 2013, when he pitched over 200 innings for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was able to rack up 14 wins and put together a 3.41 ERA on a very subpar team. Then, in 2014, he […]

Danny Salazar (SP, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After a disappointing 2014 season, Danny Salazar was brushed aside by a lot of fantasy owners at the start of 2015. Part of that was because he started in the minors, but the other part was because he had broken so many […]

Angel Pagan (OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Angel Pagan is producing like a borderline fourth or fifth outfielder so far in 2015. His numbers reflect that he may be a serviceable third OF, but there is always risk for injury with Pagan. The upside is certainly there with […]
