Jamaal Williams (RB, DET) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~118 ANALYSIS:  Williams is no stranger to being split out as a receiver from his time in Green Bay and we already know Detroit views him as an “A” running back thanks to new offensive coordinator, Anthony Lynn (per The Athletic). So you’ve got someone with the […]

Joey Votto (1B, CIN) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's not often that we advise you to rush out and pick up a 37-year-old player off of waivers, but here we are. Yeah, his .268 average is still far below his .303 career batting average and his days of hitting 25 homers […]

Andrew Vaughn (1B/OF, CWS) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Like many young players, Vaughn had some trouble getting going when he broke camp with the White Sox. He was a hot commodity in leagues that drafted closer to the start of the season, but his .255 average with just one […]

Robbie Grossman (OF, DET) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: Grossman is one of those guys that's always an afterthought, even in the deepest of leagues, when it comes to fantasy baseball. He's a career .249 hitter and had only had double-digit homers once in eight major league seasons.......prior to this year, that […]

Adam Frazier to the Padres - Fantasy Impact

We're heading into the final stretch before the deadline, and another major trade target has been dealt in Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier, who now heads to the west coast to join the San Diego Padres. Here's how that trade broke down: Padres receive: 2B Adam Frazier, cash considerations Pirates receive: INF Tucupita Marcano, OF […]

Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 18

We're days away from the Trade Deadline, which means we're about to see a lot of prospects on the move to new organizations. So far we've seen Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman go from the Rays to the Twins, Tucupita Marcano headed to Pittsburgh from San Diego, and then on Monday the Pirates acquired Hoy […]

MLB Trade Deadline: Lineup Spot & Team Opportunity Impact

The trade deadline unofficially was kicked off on Sunday, when the Rays acquired Nelson Cruz and the Padres nabbed Adam Frazier. Fantasy managers will always be quick to scrutinize trades through the lens of fantasy - and that's good, we should be looking for any edge we can find. However, it's possible that we sometimes […]

Melvin Gordon (RB, DEN) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~57 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~67 ANALYSIS:  Look, I understand the Denver Broncos drafted Javonte Williams in the second round making Gordon's time/value in Denver apparently short-lived. But this is about now. The Broncos have utilized a running back by committee in the past and with Williams, Royce Freeman, and Mike Boone, 2021 looks to be no […]

Jared Cook (TE, LAC) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS:  Drafting Cook is a cheap ticket to the Justin Herbert show. This will be Cook’s 13th NFL season after two solid campaigns with the Saints that led to 16 combined TDs in 29 games. I’d expect similar TD looks from the Chargers offense after Hunter Henry, Donald […]

Who is this Year's Breakout Tight End?

Welcome fantasy friends and foes to my unveiling of "Who is this Year's Breakout Tight End?" A productive fantasy tight end provides a definite advantage during any week. Avoiding the tight ends after the big three of Travis Kelce, Darren Waller, and George Kittle can make winning an uphill battle. Fantasy managers must realize that […]

Champ or Chump: Patrick Sandoval

Patrick Sandoval exploded onto the national scene when he nearly no-hit the Minnesota Twins, but his name has been whispered in fantasy circles as a potential sleeper for quite a while. He posted a 4.02 xFIP in 39 1/3 IP in 2019 and 4.00 xFIP in 36 2/3 IP in 2020, but actual ERAs of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/27/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 15-game main slate on tap tonight, and it should be a fun one. There is some top-end pitching with McCullers and Morton, but you may not need the top-end arms with so many mid-tier and punt pitchers. We have a lot of game totals well over nine, meaning there should be offense […]

We’re less than a week away from the 2021 MLB trade deadline so it could be a busy week for rookies and prospects.
