Figuring Out the Buffalo Bills Backfield

After trading for Stefon Diggs at the start of the offseason, the Buffalo Bills had to sit out Day One of the 2020 NFL Draft, but when they got in on the fun on Friday night, they selected two highly-touted college prospects: Iowa DE A.J. Epenesa and Utah RB Zack Moss. For fantasy purposes, Moss […]

2020 NFL Draft Review - AFC East

Eliminating Park Factors: Which Pitchers Will Suffer the Most

After weeks of half-baked proposals cribbed from rejected "BioDome" scripts, there now seems to be a scrape of light at the end of the no-baseball tunnel. MLB seems to be increasingly confident that a 2020 season will be played, whether it's playing all games in one location (the Arizona plan), playing in multiple warm-weather hubs (Arizona, […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another KBO DFS column. Have you caught KBO fever yet? Our first slate went, well, as baseball slates tend to go!

Evan Longoria (3B, SF) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~340 CURRENT ADP: ~Undrafted ANALYSIS: Evan Longoria is not the MVP candidate that he once was, but he doesn’t have to be considering he is not being drafted in NFBC contests currently. In 2019, Longoria posted a .254/.325/.437 slash line that appears to be replicable in 2020. Longoria possesses a patient plate […]

Veteran Running Back Winners From the NFL Draft

Some of the running back picks in the NFL Draft have damaged the fantasy outlooks of veterans such as Aaron Jones, Mark Ingram, Kerryon Johnson, and Damien Williams. But there was also positive news coming out of the draft process. Several current NFL running backs saw their values and appeal rise when their existing teams either […]

Drafting First Overall In Rotisserie Formats

I really do believe there’s no such thing as too much draft strategy. There are a lot of factors that play into draft selections. I will be discussing topics ranging from positional scarcity to team construction and many things in between. The idea is to go into my strategy and targets through the first 10 […]

Third Base ADP Reflections

Third base is arguably the deepest position in fantasy this year, with plenty of highly productive options outside of the first 20 third basemen being drafted. The position is so deep that if a player isn’t a lock for an OPS above .900, doesn’t have positional versatility, or doesn’t offer stolen bases, then they may […]

KBO DFS Lineup Picks for 5/5/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

DeVante Parker - Dynasty Price Check

Well, it finally happened. After five years in the NFL, DeVante Parker finally broke out. Parker just turned 27 years old and in 2019 he saw a career-high in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. Not only did Parker break out, but he finished as the WR6 in Standard scoring leagues and as the WR11 […]

RB Committees to Avoid in 2020

Nobody likes a running back committee. Nobody besides Austin Ekeler, I guess, but that's a story for another day. We fantasy football owners want clarity in the backfield. If we have the chance to draft a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019 we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends being. […]

2020 MLB Draft Sleeper - Mauricio Dubon

One of the most significant components to winning a fantasy baseball league is spotting the undervalued player, better known as a sleeper. An excellent place to discover hidden value is with Major League teams' rising rookies. A prospect waiting to make an ascension into the big leagues can bring life to any franchise and help […]

eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational - Finish Line 150: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks

After one of the most eventful eNASCAR races of the year last Sunday, we're headed to virtual Dover International Speedway (AKA Concrete Jungle, AKA The Monster Mile, AKA Jimmie Johnson's Playground, AKA, etc.) for the Finish Line 150. Alex Bowman secured the bag at Talladega, and even he was shocked at the outcome. He was […]

Using xPA to Evaluate Lineup Movers: Victor Robles

We don't need to talk about how much a player's lineup spot matters. The higher you are, the more times a game you'll bat. Plus, you'll almost necessarily be surrounded by better players. That simply means more opportunities to pile up fantasy stats. Consider Ronald Acuna Jr., who was on pace for 658 plate appearances […]

Infielder Busts Set to Bounce Back in 2020

Fantasy baseball owners tend to put too much emphasis on the previous season when it comes to valuing players. There is a reason projection systems use three years of data, because while last year's numbers are typically the most important thing to consider, what a player has done in the past matters as well. Each […]

NFL Draft Losers - Dynasty Edition

The NFL Draft is a time where collegiate players find new opportunities playing professional football. It's a time when NFL teams fill important holes in their rosters with young talent. But it's also a time where two things also happen. First, that young talent often displaces veteran players on a team's depth chart, leading to […]

Mid-Round Third Base Targets and Avoids in 2020

Once you reach the middle-to-late rounds of drafts, it would be smart to consider drafting some upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can take a risk or two on a variety of different players, including a prospect, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even players with skills but have […]

Is Todd Gurley Done in Dynasty?

Done is a strong word. When we say a player is "done," we're usually making a judgment of a player's game right now, as in "yeah, Tom Brady is done," which means "2020 Tom Brady is going to stink." But with dynasty leagues, the word "done" carries some different meanings. "Todd Gurley is done," for […]
