Reviewing Demetri's Bold Predictions from the 2016 Season

Welcome back to RotoBaller's 2016 Bold Predictions series. We've heard from several writers already, but have plenty more fearless forecasts coming down the pike. Today, it's my turn to put my sterling reputation on the line. I would love to blame most of these on me spending a couple months in Greece this summer. But […]

Reviewing Rick Lucks's Bold Predictions For 2016

During the offseason, I joined a bunch of my fellow Rotoballer writers in boldly predicting what might occur in the upcoming season. I foolishly ended that piece's intro with ,"Am I a Champ or a Chump?" despite the fact that no one had any idea how I did yet. The season is over, so now […]

Reviewing Tony Peters' Bold Predictions for 2016

After opening up the season with a list of 10 bold predictions, I have face to facts, look myself in the mirror and deal with the aftermath of my thoughts. How off-the-wall or on-the-mark was I?

Reviewing Edward Sutelan's Bold Predictions for 2016

Before this season, I made a couple of bold predictions about the upcoming season. There were some hits . . . and then there were some misses. Overall, I feel that people who read my article seeking fantasy advice were probably not too let down by my predictions (unless you bought into A.J. Reed). I look […]

Champ or Chump: How'd I Do?

The point of Champ or Chump is to use every metric imaginable to try to predict how a player will perform in the future.
