SIERA Overachievers - Identifying Fantasy Baseball Pitchers Worth Fading in 2026

It's that time again - time to dig into the advanced stats and see what we can find that will help us make the right decisions in our upcoming fantasy baseball drafts. Every year, I like to analyze the SIERA of starter pitchers to identify those who likely overperformed in terms of their ERA. SIERA […]

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Thursday, 2/26/26)

It's been two weeks in a row now where we have seen the NBA schedule get overloaded on Thursday night, moving away from the traditional pattern of smaller slates on Thursdays - and I am here for it!

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 18: 2/23-3/1

We turn the calendar over to March by the end of Week 18, and the fantasy playoffs start in some leagues.

Stuff+ Standouts - Identifying Potential Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Breakouts

You guessed it - I'm discussing starting pitchers for the upcoming 2026 MLB season.

The Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball - Week 17

Biggest K-BB% Fallers - Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Warning Signs for 2026

We could argue all day about which statistics and metrics are the most reflective of a pitcher's success. But the consensus is that a pitcher's strikeout-minus-walk rate (K-BB%) is a pretty solid barometer for overall performance, and I would agree. In the complex world of baseball statistics, sometimes simpler is better. When it comes to […]

Fantasy Basketball Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold - Week 14
