Aaron Hicks Gets The Start In Game 3

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is getting a rare postseason start and will hit ninth against the Astros and Gerrit Cole in Game 3. Hicks has seen only one at-bat this postseason as teammate Giancarlo Stanton heads to the bench. The move can certainly be described as surprising as Hicks is slashing a dismal […]

Hideki Matsuyama A Solid DFS Option At CJ Cup

Japanese superstar Hideki Matsuyama is in the field for the upcoming CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges. Matsuyama heads to Korea on the heels of two swing season starts that produced mixed results. 'Deki missed the cut at the Safeway Open last month, but rebounded for a T16 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open to […]

Jose Altuve Takes Playoff Hitting Streak Into Game 3

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has hits in all seven of the teams playoff games this season heading into Game 3. Altuve has an excellent track record of postseason success and it is on full display once again this season. The 29-year-old is 10-for-27 (.370) with two home runs and three doubles, four runs […]

Viktor Hovland Looks To Stay Hot At Nine Bridges

Viktor Hovland is set to make his CJ Cup debut this week. Hovland exploded on to the professional scene earlier this year after an All-American career at Oklahoma State University. The 22-year-old quickly announced his presence on the PGA Tour with four top-25 finishes in five starts to close out the 2018-19 season. The rising […]

Luis Severino Looking For Revenge Against Astros

New York Yankees starter Luis Severino will take the ball in Game 3 against the Astros in Yankee Stadium. Severino tossed four spotless innings in the ALDS and his stuff looked electric. Severino has missed most of the season due to injury and is not expected to pitch deep into the game. The talented starter […]

Gerrit Cole Cometh To New York For Game 3

Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will take his historic run on the mound into Yankee Stadium for Game 3 of the ALCS. Cole set a major league record with 25 strikeouts in the ALDS and has 10-plus strikeouts in 11 straight starts. Cole has not lost since May 22 and is 18-0 during that span. […]

Giancarlo Stanton Sits For Game 3

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will ride the bench to start Game 3 against Gerrit Cole and the Houston Astros. Stanton is 2-for-4 in the series thus far but the Yankees have opted to start Aaron Hicks in his place. It has been a lost season for the slugger but Stanton has come up […]

Phil Mickelson Making CJ Cup Debut

Phil Mickelson is in the field for this week's CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges. It will be Mickelson's first start in the Korean-based event. 'Lefty' has struggled mightily over the latter portion of 2019, with his last top-25 finish coming at the Masters in April. The 49-year-old has continued his erratic play recently in two […]

Brooks Koepka Set To Defend CJ Cup Title

Brooks Koepka is in the field for this week's CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges. Koepka captured last season's CJ Cup with an impressive score of 21-under par. The four-time major champion heads to Jeju Island with just one swing season start under his belt - a missed cut at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open […]

Sungjae Im is in the field for the upcoming CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges. A native of Jeju Island, Im will get a chance to attack The Club at Nine Bridges, where he just so happens to be a member. The youngster had a tremendous rookie campaign on the PGA Tour last season, recording seven […]

FanDuel, DraftKings NHL DFS Lineup Picks (10/15/19): Daily Fantasy Hockey

Tuesday features seven games in all with a spotlight on games like Nashville and Vegas, Montreal and Tampa Bay, plus even Calgary and Philadelphia. Remember, when looking around for plays, an over/under of 6 dictates offense, but an over/under of 5 or sometimes 5.5 tilts towards the goalies. There are several games at 6.5, as […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 6 Outliers

In Week 6, several players exploded in fantasy lineups. There were a few receivers that were above the rest of the pack in Week 6, such as Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Chris Godwin and Tyreek Hill, but there shouldn't be any surprises there as those guys should have been in fantasy lineups. At the quarterback […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

All of a sudden, the Chargers look like one of the worst teams in football and the Jets look like a playoff contender. Maybe things won't shake out that way in the end but it goes to show how quickly things change in the "Not For Long" NFL. For that reason, we advise looking at […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 7)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Some of you have been rewarded for your meticulous roster planning by receiving excellent production from your running backs. Unfortunately, many of you have been equally prepared when making roster decisions, but have been undermined by injuries, inconsistent usage, or underwhelming performances. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have forced you to […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

We weren't really surprised by the top-scoring fantasy wide receivers from Week 6. Out of the top-20 receivers, only Jamison Crowder, Auden Tate and Jaron Brown were less than 50% owned. Jaron Brown (0% owned) was only targeted five times but he scored two touchdowns off of those five targets. Auden Tate (23% owned) hauled […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers – Week 7

Another week, another four teams on bye in the NFL. Fantasy football players are going to have to make due this week without Carolina’s Greg Olsen, Tampa Bay’s O.J. Howard and Pittsburgh’s Vance McDonald, not to mention Seattle’s Will Dissly, who was injured this past Sunday. It could be a worse week for fantasy players […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 7

It was another big week at the quarterback position, as five quarterbacks topped 30 points and 12 scored more than 20 heading into Sunday Night Football. Most of the big performers were players we expect, such as Matt Ryan and Deshaun Watson, but we also got some surprising starts from quarterbacks who are widely available. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

The Jets are back! OK, maybe not back because they were never here but at least there's some actual hope and fantasy value to be had from a previously winless team. The tight end landscape has changed drastically again, as Hunter Henry returns right at 60% ownership, while breakout second-year Seahawk Will Dissly's season appears […]

PGA DFS (DraftKings): Horse For The Course - The CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges

Welcome back RotoBallers and PGA DFS fans! We expected the Houston Open to be rather 'ho-hum' with its less-than-stellar field, but we actually got a pretty wild tournament with the Texas winds and weather wreaking havoc during the first couple of rounds. If your players survived the cut, there was some firework-type scoring over the […]

Mikal Bridges: 2019-20 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

Welcome to October. NBA season is encroaching and drafts are looming. I wanted to key in on one of my sleeper candidates for the upcoming season. There might be a load of biases heaped onto this as I had him on my fantasy roster last year, but let me try to convince you why Mikal […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is tough to make a case for Albert Wilson, but here I am. It is tough first because I was a true believer of Wilson’s potential entering the year--yes, I had him as one of my go-to sleepers in almost every draft--and […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I learned something this past Sunday, and it is that bad teams are bad no matter who they face. It was the case in the Washington versus Miami game from Week 6, which some reasoned would be a slugfest just because both […]

Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is no better time to jump on Benny Snell Jr. than this week. Let’s recap: Pittsburgh is missing its starting quarterback and the backup to the starting quarterback. JuJu Smith-Schuster looks nothing like the JuJu Smith-Schuster we know. And most of […]

Brock Nelson Posts Two Points In Monday's Victory

New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson potted a goal and added a helper as his team defeated the St. Louis Blues by a 3-2 score on Monday. Aside from recording his second multi-point performance of the young season, Nelson also contributed two shots and two hits in 19:20 of ice time in the contest. After […]

Mathew Barzal Leads Isles Past Blues On Monday

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal registered a goal and a primary assist in his team's 3-2 overtime defeat of the visiting St. Louis Blues on Monday afternoon. The 22-year-old saved his production for late in the contest in this one - burying the game-tying goal with just 27 seconds remaining and then setting up […]

Alex Stalock Records Shutout In First Start

Minnesota Wild goaltender Alex Stalock picked up his first victory of the season in Monday's 2-0 win over the Ottawa Senators. The 32-year-old stopped all 26 shots he faced in the contest, earning his sixth career NHL shutout. Stalock's sturdy performance comes at an opportune time, as his team had failed to post a win […]

Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, NO) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Time flies. It’s been more than 10 years since Ted Ginn Jr. was drafted in 2007 by the Dolphins and he keeps grinding. Now in his third season with the Saints, it is normal that he has fallen in the dark a bit […]
