Week 20 Waiver Wire: Catchers

Baseball's a rough sport, especially for catchers. They are constantly being dinged by foul balls, they have to squat for nearly three hours a game, and catching those pitches have to be hard on the hands. So, it's no surprise that they may be hurt a little more than other players. Still, sometimes when I […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Houston Texans

At first glance, the 2017 Houston Texans don't look like a fantasy football powerhouse. Despite making the playoffs last season, the team finished 29th in both passing yards and total yards. Behind quarterback Brock Osweiler, the team struggled to move the ball, struggled to score, and struggled to avoid turnovers. In 2017, though, Osweiler is […]

Champ or Chump: Neil Walker & Jonathan Villar

Neil Walker's recent relocation to Milwaukee proves that fantasy relevant names can still be moved after the Trade Deadline.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/17/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

The good news is that Thursday's slate has a number of strong starting pitchers to pitch from including Luis Severino, Aaron Nola, Jeff Samardzija, and Jon Lester. However, it makes up for the abundance of pitching by lacking desirable options in the mid-tier of player pricing. Given that, tonight is a night where I'll be […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Batting average is just one of many statistics fantasy owners must consider, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate.

Fantasy Football Auction Values Analysis - PPR Leagues

Auctions really don't get enough love. I am so much more excited for my auction drafts than I am for my snake drafts. There are a handful of players I am way more bullish on than consensus (which you'll see later on in this analysis) and in an auction, I know I have full control over […]
