Late-Round Lottery Tickets to Target in Fantasy Drafts

My dreams of playing in a mega-high stakes (jelly beans, of course) fantasy league were crushed when I didn't win the Powerball jackpot. My guess is you aren't that one lucky soul who won either so here you are slumming it with the rest of us. That's ok though, there's always the fantasy lottery. Besides, […]

What it Takes to Succeed (or Fail) at QB, Part 3 - Success Standards

Quarterback is the most important position in football, and as the league turns more towards a dominant passing attack, the QB has risen up the list of priorities of fantasy managers as well. In part two of this series, I described what I called “death knell stats.” These are characteristics that if a quarterback fails […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

From a fantasy football aspect, the name Kenny Golladay might not mean much as you wade through which wide receivers will help catapult your team into the playoffs. However, taking a closer look at the situation, he might prove to be worthy of a late round draft pick with not much to lose. After some […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals were all over the place in terms of fantasy value last season. Carson Palmer disappointed, David Johnson dominated, and Larry Fitzgerald remained Larry Fitzgerald. Not much has changed personnel wise for the Cardinals, but these guys are all being drafted in different spots than they were a year ago. This team still […]

Champ or Chump: Nick Delmonico & Lucas Giolito

It's easy to stop paying attention to the weaker teams this time of year, as the small portion of media coverage baseball gets with football starting up is devoted exclusively to the pennant races. The weakest teams are arguably the most interesting from a fantasy perspective, however, because they are trying to unearth the gems […]

Overvalued PPR Wide Receivers and Who To Draft Instead

When it comes to PPR formats, wide receivers are king. 2017 presents a unique opportunity for early wide receiver drafters as running backs are being scooped up at a record pace. Despite running backs' perceived dominance in 2016, wide receivers should once again assume their role on the top of the mountain. Still, even the […]

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/24/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

Thursday's slate is chalk full of good pitching, including the elite Chris Sale but also including several other interesting options such as Jake Arrieta, Stephen Strasburg, Dallas Keuchel, and Carlos Martinez. This stands in contrast to several game totals projected for over nine runs, many of which are in the early slate. Thus, the dichotomy […]

Chicago Bears 2017 Team Outlook

The Chicago Bears finished the 2017 season 3-13 and last in the NFC North for the third straight season. It was a step-back season for GM Ryan Pace and Head Coach John Fox as injuries and a carousel of quarterbacks derailed a team trying to build upon its young talent. The Bears will take the […]

Kirk Cousins Still Underrated? I Like That

Heading into the 2016 fantasy season, there was a general reluctance within the fantasy community to treat Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins as a fixture inside the top 10 ranks among signal callers. Through his first six games in 2015, he had thrown just six TD passes to go with eight interceptions, including four multi-turnover […]

Deshaun Watson (QB, HOU) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Chicago’s Mitchell Trubisky and Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes may have been drafted higher in the first round this past April, but Houston’s Deshaun Watson might become the biggest fantasy sleeper and the most productive quarterback out of the rookie trio by the time the 2017 season concludes. The last time most football fans saw Watson […]

Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 21

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Batting average is just one of many statistics fantasy owners must consider, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate.

Late-Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Drafting running backs early in 2017 seems to be the increasingly common strategy. According to Fantasy Football Calculator, 17 running backs are being drafted in the first three rounds in PPR leagues. The prevailing thought seems to be if you miss out on a running back in the early rounds you have no good options […]

Jose Pirela (SD, 2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper mixed and  NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jose Pirela has been under looked the entire season as he quietly has put together a .295 batting average and .858 OPS with eight home runs on the season in just 244 at-bats. Yes, the Padres don’t offer the best lineup, but […]

Logan Forsythe (LAD, 2B/3B) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team and NL-only leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Logan Forsythe is another example of a player who was highly regarded coming into the season but has not been able to muster it all together. Acquired for one of the top pitching prospects Jose De Leon in the offseason, many had […]

Tim Anderson (CWS, SS) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team and AL-only leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox was a hot name heading into fantasy drafts this year. For most of this season the young shortstop has disappointed both for the Chicago White Sox and fantasy owners. However a light has flicked on for […]

Kolten Wong (STL, 2B/OF) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team and NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kolten Wong is the perfect example of a player who should be owned as soon as owners give up on the player. Wong has been hyped up every season by both fantasy owners and the St. Louis Cardinals every season. As soon […]

Neil Walker (MIL, 2B) - Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12 team leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Neil Walker is a player I have mentioned before in this article. Now that he is with the Milwaukee Brewers, his stock should only improve as he joins a much more potent lineup while hitting in the heart of the order since his arrival. […]
