Are You For Real? Surprising SP Starts from Week 6

Welcome back to "Are You For Real?" Each week, we look at lower-owned starting pitchers who have performed unexpectedly well in their last outing(s). We're looking at a trio of low-owned right-handers this week, as Dane Dunning, Zach Eflin, and Tyler Mahle all impressed over the weekend. Each is available in more than 80% of […]

Will Mike Clevinger's Strikeouts Return Soon?

This was supposed to be a wider look at the biggest decreases in starting pitcher strikeout rates. But lo and behold, the leader of that list - and someone who had been cooling his heels at Cleveland's alternate site, as of late - was traded to San Diego in a blockbuster deal. And even though […]

A Robbie Ray Reclamation in Toronto?

Robbie Ray is in the midst of an awful season, posting a 7.84 ERA, 2.00 WHIP, and a hideous 20.1 BB%. Hitters have been able to pound his pitches, as he's allowed a 13.9 Barrel% and 2.61 HR/9.  These type of numbers should have you ignoring his trade to the American League and Toronto Blue […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for 9/2/20 (Premium Content)

With only two games on this Wednesday slate, I'm going to discuss each game and provide a player pool for the slate at the bottom.  The majority of the slates moving forward will be smaller so remember that almost anyone getting minutes is in play instead of being able to easily cross off or remove […]

Cleveland Browns Defense/ST (D/ST, CLE) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 28.1 (11th D/ST) ANALYSIS: The story in Cleveland is a combination of veterans stepping up and rookies showing out. Myles Garrett may be the best pass rusher on the planet (the Bosa brothers may certainly quibble about that point), and both Sheldon Richardson and Oliver Vernon will anchor the middle once again. Rookie Jacob […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/2/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We have a large 10-game slate on DraftKings where we'll be sidestepping the two offenses that exploded for a combined 39 runs last night in the Giants and the Cardinals. No Coors Field to stack up tonight, either, so we'll have to dig a little deeper to look at offenses to target on this slate. […]

Washington Football Team Defense (D/ST, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 40.6 (25th D/ST) ANALYSIS: The Washington defense is littered with former first-round picks, but easily the most exciting player here is defensive end Chase Young, who they drafted with the second overall pick this year. Young is widely regarded as one of the more transcendent talents in recent memory, and he'll step in […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Veteran Cole Beasley is entering his ninth season in the NFL and second playing in Buffalo. There aren't much more reliable player out there other than Beasley, though: the wideout has missed just four games in the past seven seasons and for the first time […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAX) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: After having his best season as a pro in his second year in the NFL in 2018, Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver Dede Westbrook dropped his numbers a bit playing mostly under rookie-QB Gardner Minshew in 2019, going from 179.5 PPR points two years ago to 156.7 last […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/2/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, Diana Taurasi went off last night, didn't she? Apologies for not writing about her in yesterday's article. But hey, all of the players I wrote about yesterday scored 30 or more DraftKings points, so missing out on Taurasi wasn't a total bummer, right? In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: You can criticize Kirk Cousins all you want, but the truth is that the current Vikings' starter has finished as a top-15 quarterback in five consecutive seasons, which means every year he's started more than five games. His lowest finish (during the 2019 season) was directly correlated […]

Jacksonville Jaguars Defense (D/ST, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 34.3 (26th D/ST) ANALYSIS: Losing Calais Campbell is obviously significant, but the Jaguars have a ton of young talent up front that can make the Jaguars reminisce about the unbelievable 2017 season. It'd be nice if they could figure out Yannick Ngakoue's contract situation, but even if they head into the 2020 season […]

Coaching Matters: NFC East Play-Calling Impact On RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That includes looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary playcaller's historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge […]

New England Patriots Defense (D/ST, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 22.3 (5th D/ST) ANALYSIS: The Patriots had a dominant defense in the first half of 2019 (partly due to them playing very weak opponents), but the unit still finished as the top-ranked fantasy defense at the end of the season. It’s best to temper expectations heading into this season though, as the Pats […]

Updated Running Back PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Hitting on the right RB can win you a league. Christian McCaffrey was a monster in 2019, rewarding fantasy players who took him over Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliot, and in some instances even Saquon Barkley. Sorting out this year’s RB landscape could be the difference between winning it all and missing the playoffs. This year, […]
