2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Adam Wainwright

In sports, both real world and fantasy, injuries can really muddle a player’s overall value. Just like a Major League ball club may be bullish on signing a big name player who is returning from a significant injury to a big contract, a fantasy owner may hesitate to commit to drafting a big name player […]

Five 2016 Second Base Sleepers

After you get past the elite options at second base, guys like Jose Altuve, things can get a little iffy. Because of that, it is pretty easy to just settle for a low-end player, punt that position, or even worse, reach for an overvalued player. As we get closer to Opening Day, here are some […]

Buying Back In To Hunter Pence?

It's an even year, so you know what that means. The Giants are in line for another World Series.

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Marcell Ozuna

Marcell Ozuna of the Miami Marlins may have had an underwhelming season in 2015, but all signs point to him bouncing back next season to his 2014 form.

Okay, so you’ve heard some chatter about this Korean power hitter who the Twins signed this offseason, but you still aren’t sure what he brings to the table.

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Jonathan Schoop

In recent years, the Baltimore Orioles have done a great job of balancing their lineup out with a mix of young talent and veteran presence.

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/21/2015
