Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2016 - Wide Receivers

2016 wasn't exactly an exciting year for traditional rookie storylines. Unlike the emergence of Odell Beckham Jr. via one-handed grab in 2014, or the dominant arrival of guys like Amari Cooper last year. Ultimately, 2016 revealed no red carpet for the heir to the throne (though one rookie made a pretty dominant case.) Unlike the […]

Biggest Breakouts and Values of 2016 - Quarterbacks

Quarterback might be the most important position on an NFL field, but the truth is it's not the most important position in fantasy football. Why, you ask? Simple, the depth at quarterback is impressive, making it unnecessary -- and unwise -- to reach early for a quarterback. Sure, players like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and […]

As with any football season, the rise of the new class of fantasy studs will always, in turn, bring about the fall of the studs of old. It’s only right that in the same way we laud the more recent achievements of the Ezekiel Elliotts of the world, we ought to laud the achievements of their […]

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts of 2016

We are one weekend away from knowing who will represent the AFC and NFC in this year's Super Bowl. One team will proudly hoist the trophy, while the other is destined to spiral downward in the offseason, miss the playoffs in 2017 and be rife with busts throughout their lineup (thanks for nothing, Carolina). Before we […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2016 - Quarterbacks

The 2016 fantasy football season has come and gone. It is such a bitter period of time we currently reside in, as we watch great football games on television but no longer have our fantasy teams to constantly monitor and tinker with.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/22/17): NBA DFS Advice

This is the weirdest slate of basketball I've seen in a while. There are four total games, but DraftKings split it up into two slates with only two games. Hopefully they add an "All Day" slate, but that doesn't look likely at this point. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

Thinking Out Loud: Early Industry Mock Draft Results

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Chris Paul's body isn't doing his wallet any favors entering his free agency year.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/20/17): NBA DFS Advice

Does anyone else feel like the NBA All Star starters are a joke? Russell Westbrook and arguably Joel Embiid were snubbed, while players like Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, and Kyrie Irving are starting. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against those players, but there were certainly guys much more deserving this season. In this […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Nikola Jokic and Zach LaVine?

In addition to strategy on draft day, good eye for hidden talent and a little bit of luck a good basketball owner uses trends, slumps and surges to try and maximize his roster's potential.
