RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Round 1
The great thing about playing your favorite game with true fantasy degenerates is that there is never an "off" time for the game.

ADP Sleepers and Busts - NL Relief Pitchers
Early-season drafts do not always tend to be reflective of a player's actual value.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~245 CURRENT ADP: 302 ANALYSIS: Fantasy owners are showing a lot more love to Oakland’s other Matt- Olson, natch – in drafts this spring, but don’t forget about Chapman.

Austin Hedges (C, SD) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target ~220 CURRENT ADP: 266 ANALYSIS: Regarded as a top-shelf defensive catcher, Austin Hedges bucked his one-sided reputation in 2017 by hitting 18 homeruns, tied eighth-best for signal-callers. Unfortunately, the power did not translate into other fantasy-useful categories. Hedges finished outside the top-20 for backstops with a meager 36 runs, 55 RBI and... Read More
