32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Vikings

The Vikings made the playoffs in 2019 on the back of a stellar performance by Dalvin Cook. The question is whether he can stay healthy and repeat that performance in 2020.

Browns 2.0? A Cautionary Tale for the 2020 Arizona Cardinals

We all remember what happened last season in Cleveland. The excitement was there and so were the weapons. Or so we thought. As with anything in life, things do not always turn out the way we think they will. The team which is supposed to win doesn’t. The player who was supposed to make the […]

NL Starting Pitching Sleepers for 2020

The shorter 2020 MLB regular season has led to a few shifts in fantasy strategy, but perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the starting pitching landscape. We're used to constructing fantasy rotations around strikeout pitchers and ratio arms or high-upside flyers and solid innings-eaters. However, with a shorter season, there will likely be no major […]

Spencer Turnbull (SP, DET) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~320 CURRENT ADP: ~378 overall ANALYSIS: While Spencer Turnbull seemed to struggle last year with a 3-17 record and a 4.61 ERA, he showed enough flashes of success to instill confidence that he can compete at this level. His xFIP for the season was 3.99, his WAR was 2.9 (43rd among […]

Nathan Eovaldi (SP, BOS) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~240 CURRENT ADP: ~260 overall ANALYSIS: Nathan Eovaldi threw 67.2 unsuccessful innings for the Red Sox last year while battling injury. However, he did show the same dynamic stuff which led his K% to jump between 2018 and 2019. In 2018, Eovaldi used his cutter to get ahead and then set […]

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~250 CURRENT ADP: ~275 overall ANALYSIS: The White Sox have a few young arms of intrigue in Cease, Michael Kopech and Reynaldo Lopez; however, Cease may have the most upside for 2020.

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~185 CURRENT ADP: ~216 overall ANALYSIS: Dylan Bundy has been a favorite of baseball twitter this offseason.

Lance McCullers (SP, HOU) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~135 CURRENT ADP: ~155 overall ANALYSIS: McCullers wasn't a sleeper when we entered February mainly because he had an injury that was capping his total innings and causing him to be drafted later than their talent would suggest. With a shortened season, much of that risk no longer applies. McCullers missed […]

Johan Camargo (3B/SS, ATL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~350 CURRENT ADP: ~484 overall ANALYSIS: Johan Camargo appeared to have beaten out Austin Riley to be the Atlanta Braves’ third baseman before spring training was ended early and with a current ADP ~484, he’s effectively free in drafts. A lot of that has to do with his limited playing time in 2019, […]

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Wide Receivers

I am introducing three metrics for fantasy football for the 2020 season: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple: take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player over/underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that […]
