BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Orlando Magic knew they would stink all season long when things got started all the way back in October.

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, CHI): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: Whether Chicago ends fifth or sixth in the Eastern Conference standings won't matter much for the Bulls.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: Matisse Thybulle has grabbed hold of the starting SF role and he's just not surrendering it ROS. That said, MT's minutes have been a bit shaky of late ranging from 16 to 34 in the past couple of weeks of play. Thybulle […]

Kevin Huerter (SG, ATL): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks threw both Washington and New York out of play-in contention, locked into the pre-post-season at the very least, and most of that had to do with the late exploits of Atlanta's Red Mamba Kevin Huerter. Nothing new here, as Huerter […]

Killian Hayes (PG/SG, DET): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Killian Hayes started all games (34 of them) to kick his second pro-season off, he's only done so three more times since Jan. 23. Nothing wrong with that, though, at least at the point we find ourselves into the season. That's […]

Alec Burks (SG, NYK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: I know I'm going a little bit over the fifty-rostership self-imposed limit here, but it's the last week of the regular season so let's give it a bit of room to breathe.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/1/22)

I should have known that I couldn't stay red hot for too long! I followed up Monday's clean sweep with a rather lackluster 5-6 outing on Wednesday. It could have been worse, but I hit a decent amount of props and managed to break even - which sometimes feels like a win when things go […]

Wide Receiver ADP Risers and Fallers for Fantasy Football - NFL Free Agency Check

I am going to start this column by reviewing the concept of ADP, which you are likely familiar with.

April starts off with 10 games and just four teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back.

High-Upside Starting Pitchers: Swinging Strike Edition

Unlike the fantasy football world, there are not a lot of casual baseball fans playing the fantasy game. Have you ever heard of a friendly office fantasy baseball league? Probably not.

Pitcher Statcast: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball

Statcast metrics such as Barrels and Brls/BBE are great ways to evaluate a batter's performance, so it is only natural to assume that the metrics would be predictive for pitchers as well.

This question of how to handle the catcher position has taken on a new level of tough in 2022, at least in the opinion of this analyst.
