Champ or Chump: Cody Bellinger & Carlos Martinez

It's All-Star Week, forcing weekly formats to get a little funky. Some leagues will have an extremely short three-day scoring period, in which case you should bench any starters not scheduled to pitch and platoon guys who may not see a lot of playing time. The alternative is to combine this week and the next […]

Samaje Perine (RB, WAS) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Washington Redskins passing offense surprised last season, finishing second in the NFL in passing yards behind only the New Orleans Saints. However, their 21st-ranked rushing offense left plenty of room for improvement for the looming 2017 season. Second-year running back Matt Jones started the season as the lead back until his benching in week 8. […]

Don't Stop Believing - Buy Targets for Continued Second Half Success

For certain players, the second half is almost like a whole different season.

There have been times throughout history where great trios were at the top of their fields.

Paul Perkins (RB, NYC) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The renewed focus on running backs this season is leaving many fantasy owners looking for bargains in the middle rounds.
