We've officially hit the point in the baseball season where it feels like I may have written about every notable starting pitcher. So I welcome back Peter Lambert for a part two (part one was way back in April), and offer my thoughts on a few pitchers that I have been wanting to write about […]

Conference realignment is all the rage right now as conferences look to monopolize good teams to get better TV deals and teams look for more security. Money has destroyed much of what makes college football special. The collapse of the Pac-12 and the radical changes in the Big 12 have led to many rivalry games […]

With the All-Star break in the rearview mirror, we're officially entering the stretch run of the MLB season and the fantasy baseball season as well. We only have nine weeks left in the season, so that means around 5-6 weeks before the playoffs for those of you in head-to-head formats. Every move we make becomes […]

Drafting the right tight end for your fantasy football squad is never easy. Unlike QBs, RBs, and WRs, you don't see many TEs scoring over 20 points in a week. In fact, 2020 Travis Kelce (20.9 PPR points per game) is the only tight end to average over 20.0 PPR points per game over the […]

It is almost time for fantasy football drafts to start. This means it is time to find out which rookies are worth taking and which ones should be left in the queue. July 6 starts the Scott Fish Bowl. It's the official start of the fantasy football season. There are 22 rounds, and many players […]

The 2026 NFL season is fast approaching. Fantasy football draft prep is heating up, meaning it's time to dive into my league-losing picks for the upcoming year.

Every season, some players go so late in fantasy football drafts and eventually emerge as league winners. Players like Drake Maye, Javonte Williams, Alec Pierce, and Harold Fannin Jr. were some of the late-round steals in fantasy drafts last summer. This year, more late-round steals will emerge. In this article, we'll dive into the eight […]

Is there any other player in football who has more of a monopoly on their position group than Brock Bowers in dynasty fantasy football? Bowers was viewed as one of the best, and by some analysts, the absolute best tight end prospects to enter the NFL. The young phenom set NFL records for most receiving […]

It's so heartbreaking when you draft a fantasy football player highly, convinced that they will produce like their usual selves, and then they go on to have an extremely disappointing season. But there's always the potential for a glorious rebound. Naturally, whenever a player is coming off a down year, their fantasy value goes down, […]

The 2026 season is quickly approaching as fantasy managers gear up for their upcoming drafts.

In Superflex formats, these values are easier to find, with quarterbacks ranking far higher than in other […]

Some carrots are just bent. Not bad, just bent. And yet, for generations, these bent carrots sat on produce shelves unwanted and unloved.

Friday MLB slates are simply the best, hands down. Typically, we have the first game of a weekend series and all 30 teams in action.
