FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

Poetry in Motion: The Breakout of Wil Myers

Wil Myers not only belongs in the All-Star game, he is one of the top three first baseman in the National League. I won't put him ahead of Paul Goldschmidt or Anthony Rizzo just yet, but if you look at fantasy rankings on any site, you have no choice but to agree. Myers has long […]

If you need to fill an unexpected roster […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire: Catchers

We're in Week 12 of the season. A dozen. Wow. It's actually appropriate that we're at this number since only 12 catchers are at 70% or higher ownership in Fleaflicker. Then the dropoff is steep... with the next one at 46%. Yikes. The thing is, aside from people like Jonathan Lucroy, Salvador Perez, and Wilson […]

Week 12 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

After a couple of weeks on the positive side of the ledger, regression was inevitable.

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: First Basemen

First base has generally been where the league’s best hitters are found.

They are middle of the order power hitters with 40-home run capabilities like Albert Pujols and […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Wright, Lackey and McCutchen

Last week's column was kind of a downer, harping as I did about my least favorite MLB player. This week I figured I should do the opposite and profile three of my favorite players. I'm a sucker for a good knuckleballer (or even a bad one), so Steven Wright continues the trend of a Red […]
