Brandon Lowe (2B, TB) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 170 CURRENT ADP: ~196 overall ANALYSIS: Brandon Lowe is a prime breakout candidate at second base heading into 2020 after his injury-riddled 2019 campaign limited him to just 296 at-bats throughout 82 games. He is another second baseman that can provide power, the ability to get on base, and a […]

Welcome back to RotoBaller, your source for all things fantasy sports!

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/1/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The league has six games scheduled to close out the week. With contests beginning at 1 p.m. (eastern), things are a bit trickier and harder to gauge in terms of plugging in potential value plays for an injured player. As a result, it would be wise to negate those who are questionable as well as […]

Khris Davis (UT, OAK) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 150 CURRENT ADP: ~175 overall ANALYSIS: Davis struggled mightily in 2019 by slashing .220/.293/.387 with 23 HR, 73 RBI, 61 R, and 47 BB in 481 at-bats. He put up career-lows in average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS, most likely all attributed to a nagging hip injury Davis had […]

Harry Giles III (PF/C, SAC): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's taking time, but Harry Giles is finally getting there. A first-rounder in the 2017 draft, this is just Giles second season playing in the NBA and he's starting games once for all after featuring in 58 last year but without appearing in […]

C.J. Cron (1B, DET) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 210 CURRENT ADP: ~247 overall ANALYSIS: Cron's 2019 season was a tale of two seasons. Cron battled thumb injuries that resulted in two injured list stints. The first trip was on July 6 and the other on July 21. The stats before and after his first IL stint show differing […]

Shake Milton (PG/SG, PHI): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Philly’s two centerpieces Joel Embiid (shoulder) and Ben Simmons (back) out for the foreseeable future, the team needs guys to step up. One of those guys has been second-year guard Shake Milton. Don’t let his current average of 7.6 points per game be […]

Justin Holiday (SG/SF, IND): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Pacers small forward Justin Holiday has been picking up his play in the most recent games. Though the 30-year-old has been averaging 25 minutes per game this season, he only averages 8.5 points. Furthermore, he has been inconsistent for much of the season, […]

Mo Bamba (C, ORL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Truth be told, for someone drafted with the sixth pick the 101 games played and the single-game started through more than a season and a half falls a little short of expectations. Mohamed Bamba entered the NBA last season and in the […]

Juan Toscano-Anderson (SG/SF, GSW): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Getting Juan Toscano-Anderson in your roster won't make you a league-winner overnight. Now, with that out of the way and already out there in the known, picking Toscano-Anderson up is an absolute upside-based move. Juan is one of the last additions to […]

Ivica Zubac (C, LAC): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is no way to make a case for Zubac being--or even eventually becoming--a go-to guy for the Clippers. Los Angeles has Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris, etc. and that is just the start. This team is so stacked that it […]

Evaluating OAA for Pitchers Changing Teams (AL and NL-Only)

Earlier this preseason, I looked deeper into Statcast’s new Outs Above Average (OAA) leaderboard, which identifies the best defensive infielders in the league. I used 2019 OAA to look at how a pitcher's new defense will affect his value in the 2020 season. The first article evaluated pitchers drafted inside the top 300 picks, so this […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/29/20): NBA DFS Lineups

A seven-game slate means we have a bit more flexibility with lineup construction, but that also means our sleeper picks need to be spot-on. There are a ton of options tonight, and even though Ricky Rubio's price is a little steep, this seems like a trap game for value plays. Jevon Carter, and a few other […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 20 (Mar 2 - Mar 8)

Fantasy basketball season is in full swing. Most of us are either fighting for playoff berth/seeding, or are already in the playoffs and are in full win-now mode. These circumstances give streaming even more importance, as many players become expendable if they're not going to give us enough games next week. Their place can be […]

The purpose of this article, as the title suggests, is to identify outfielders who had a breakout season in 2019 and should be expected to continue their success in 2020.
