2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

As you've doubtless sussed out by this point of the season, deft work on the waiver wire is even more pivotal than it is in a full campaign. Injuries and ineffectiveness are, have been, and will be that much more challenging to overcome, especially as the 2020 runway grows shorter. By contrast, this column remains […]

Unexpected Dynasty Risers - Pitchers

Every year in dynasty league drafts fantasy managers will target young future stars, prospects which rank highly among all prospect rankings. There's a tendency to overdraft/overpay for these high-end prospects as fantasy folks are drawn to the new and shiny things much like kids get gooey-eyed for the newest toys each Christmas. While this is […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 7

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Chris Conley (WR, JAX) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: After spending four years in Kansas City, Conley moved places to play for the Jaguars. Obviously, part of a much slimmer offense, his opportunities were poised to increase in 2019. And they did. And with them Conley's numbers, performance, and overall efficiency. Chris Conley set career […]

Sam Hilliard (OF, COL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Hilliard has been putting up eyebrow-raising numbers since arriving in the Colorado farm system in 2015 from Wichita State (21 HR and 37 SB in 2017 for Single-A+ Lancaster), but 2019 was a particularly triumphant year (causing eyebrows to raise so high they're hitting […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/31/20): MLB DFS Lineups

We only get seven games on the DraftKings main slate today but it does include a game at Coors and multiple elite starters, with Cole and Bieber battling for the king of chalk.

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/31/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/31/20): NBA DFS Lineups

If you’ve made it this far, you’ve likely already begun ruminating about who you could stack up alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo or James Harden, which isn’t really all that much of a deviation from much of the 2019-20 regular season. But where things differ Monday is in the compressed player pool to choose from, which is […]

Victor Reyes (OF, DET) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: 25-year-old Victor Reyes was never a top-rated prospect as he bounced around from the Atlanta and Arizona organizations before finding a home in Detroit, but he was able to earn a spot with the big league Tigers for the shortened 2020 campaign after an […]

Golden Tate (WR, NYG) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~134 ANALYSIS: It is a shame that we didn't get the full Tate-experience in 2019 as he missed five games entirely while appearing in 11 as a whole (he tested positive for a banned substance). Why, you ask? Well, Tate was one of the most efficient players out […]

Jamal Williams (RB, GB) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers' running back Jamaal Williams is entering his fourth year as a pro, all of them playing for the Pack. While his rushing attempts have dropped every year he has been in the NFL, his production has increased and he has become more efficient […]

Coaching Matters: NFC North 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 means 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 […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work In 2020 (and Beyond!)

In the 1970s, you didn't have to go far to find a funky cool cat cutting up the dance floor in a polyester leisure suit while his pet rock named Morton rested comfortably in his pocket. By the 1980s, people had realized things like the pet rock, and leisure suits were lame. Instead, it was […]

Jared Goff (QB, LAR) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff finished the 2019 season as the QB13 in fantasy leagues, throwing for 4,638 yards and 22 touchdowns to go along with 16 interceptions. It marked the first season where he didn’t finish as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy since he became a […]

Jacob Stallings (C, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: On a very stitched-together 2020 Pittsburgh Pirates squad, even Jacob Stallings name doesn't tend to stick out, and it certainly didn't jump off the page before the season started when compared to fellow Buccos backstops John Ryan Murphy and Luke Maile. While Maile hit the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Duffy has put in a ton of work for the Royals over the years as both a starter and occasional reliever, and after a couple of seasons where he appeared to be losing his touch, Duffy is back to some good old Danny […]

Ty Buttrey (RP, LAA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: The pressure is about as low as it can get for members of the 12-22 Los Angeles Angels bullpen, as Hoby Milner and Cam Bedrosian are currently sidelined on the IL; Jaime Barria isn't even currently with the major league club; and the likes […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2020

In a world where Christian McCaffrey is coming off a historic year comprised of 287 carries, 142 targets, 19 touchdowns and over 2,300 yards from scrimmage, the Zero RB strategy might seem like a losing recipe. How can you justify shooting for any non-running back at the top of drafts when we’ve seen just how […]
