Champ or Chump: Logan Forsythe and Justin Turner

I read something the other day referring to the Yankees as possible "AL Dodgers" due to their ability to spend. I thought LA's limitless payroll made them the NL's Yankees, but apparently the team is the new "Evil Empire." Regardless of their reputation, the team has kept its offseason under control. Balking at Minnesota's asking […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2016 - Running Back

Breakout – adjective. Suddenly and extremely successful. Maybe not the textbook definition, but there are several fantasy football running backs that this description could to apply to in 2016 - a season that saw a rookie running back finish second among running backs in standard scoring. This season also saw a resurgence at the running back position. […]

Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks For FanDuel (1/29/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

It is a rather short slate tonight at 6:00 PM EST. Forget about those two early games.

In this article, I will be providing you […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/28/17): NBA DFS Advice

The slate is interesting tonight, as it's fairly large, but we only have three players priced at $10k or higher. That means it won't be quite as necessary to find extremely value plays.

Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks For FanDuel (1/28/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

There are seven games on the slate tonight that offer plenty of quality matchups to choose from. I would suggest stacking a Suns-Nuggets game, a potentially high-scoring bout between two fast paced teams, led by their offensive skills rather than defense. Although the Grizzlies @ Jazz game will not be nearly as high-scoring, it is […]

Fantasy Implications of the Tyler Thornburg Trade

Tyler Thornburg established himself as one of the most reliable closers in baseball in 2016.

Houston Astros Top MLB Prospects for 2017 Dynasty Leagues

Houston Astros fans will tell you 2016 was a disappointing season. They appeared to be entering the season with one of the most solid, young cores in baseball backed by a rotation led by the reigning-Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel and a very encouraging season by Lance McCullers. An 84-78 record and third-place finish in […]

Early Sleepers for 2017 - Quarterbacks

Everyone seems to have a different definition for what makes a fantasy football "sleeper." For some, it's simply a player they expect to greatly exceed expectations based on their draft position.

Should Fantasy Baseball Owners Avoid Adam Jones?

There is a narrative that Adam Jones is in decline. But is that true? First, let’s distinguish real-life decline from fantasy baseball decline. Many of the “Jones is in decline” crowd point to his defense, which is not relevant to fantasy baseball. Jones posted -10 Defensive Runs Saved last year, but Jones had positive grades […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: DeAndre Jordan and Kristaps Porzingis?

There are a few ways to win your fantasy basketball league. One is pure luck. That's not why we're here, and that's not why most of us play fantasy basketball. Another one is a good strategy on draft day. That is something I applaud. But here you need to remain injury free or to surf […]
