Breakouts are perhaps the most fun part of playing fantasy baseball.

Ronald Jones Signs with Kansas City Chiefs - Fantasy Impact

It would appear at first glance that Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire's time as the RB1 in town is over. The team signed former Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones II to a one-year contract worth up to $5 million on Saturday, which should mean that Jones will have a notable presence in that backfield. There are now […]

FFPC Dynasty Cutdown Day: Wheeling, Dealing and Improving

We love to play in dynasty leagues like the ones featured on the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) platform because at its very best, the experience replicates running a pro football franchise. There truly is no offseason, with trades, player moves, and a rookie/free agent draft. Fortunately, there are certain parts of the “real” NFL […]

Bobby Dalbec (1B, BOS) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~200 pick CURRENT ADP: ~221 overall ANALYSIS: Bobby Dalbec will get every opportunity to be the Boston Red Sox starting first baseman in 2022 after his strong finish last season.

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~285 pick CURRENT ADP: ~309 overall ANALYSIS: The Chicago Cubs are in the process of rebuilding, and they acquired a big part of their plans with the acquisition of rookie second baseman Nick Madrigal from the Chicago White Sox last summer.

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~190 pick CURRENT ADP: ~217 overall ANALYSIS: Starting pitcher Joe Ryan made his Major League debut in September for the Twins after coming up as a pre-2020 top-100 prospect for the Rays according to Baseball America.

Cal Quantrill (SP, CLE) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~240 pick CURRENT ADP: ~264 overall ANALYSIS: Quantrill is a former first-round pick of the Padres back in 2016 at age 21. He moved quickly through low-A ball but stalled out in Triple-A and didn't have the type of minor league success that you'd expect from a top prospect. In 2019, […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Signs with Kansas City Chiefs: Fantasy Football Impact

Heading into the offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs have been a bit strapped for cash with Patrick Mahomes’ mega-deal taking up a large portion of their payroll. In an attempt to create wiggle room, Kansas City managed to restructure the contracts of Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, and Frank Clark. Thanks to those restructured contracts, […]

Quarterback Breakouts for 2022 Fantasy Football

One of the quickest ways to find yourself in the fantasy football championship of your league is by hitting on the coveted breakout player. Those mid-round picks who explode and become top-tier options can absolutely send a roster into overdrive. Once fantasy managers get into the mid-to-late rounds of their drafts, chasing upside should become […]

Michael Florio's Pitchers to Target in Points Leagues
