FanDuel DFS Risers/Fallers for Week 14

Player values are constantly moving targets in daily leagues. A high profile player can put together a couple of big games and see his price tag skyrocket. Likewise, a couple of bad games can lead a player's stock to plummet. The correlation isn't always immediate, leading to some discrepancies in value. Savvy DFS players can […]

Khris Middleton: The NBA All-Star that Wasn’t

Right around the same time that Philadelphia 76ers’ No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons broke his foot, a much less heralded player also suffered a potentially season-ending injury. This player doesn’t merit wide-eyed comparisons to Magic Johnson and LeBron James. In his draft class, he wasn’t even picked in the first round (he was the […]

NBA Waiver Wire (Week 14): H2H Offensive Category Streamers

It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own.

Minnesota Twins Top MLB Prospects for 2017 Dynasty Leagues

After a 2015 campaign that saw the Minnesota Twins go 83-79 and second in the AL Central to the eventual World Champion Kansas City Royals, fans could be heard screaming “the future is now!” Unfortunately for those Twins fans, their team experienced a true disaster of a 2016 season that saw them finish 59-103 (the […]

Did Kevin Gausman Experience a Second-Half Breakout?

Kevin Gausman improved his 5x5 stats immensely in the second half of 2016. However, a player’s stat line for the year as a whole trumps a strong second half unless there is a clear reason otherwise. Two possibilities include overcoming an injury or a more favorable second half schedule. This article will explore (1) whether Gausman’s […]

Biggest Busts and Disappointments of 2016 - Quarterbacks

What a difference a year can make. Players that are viewed one year as safe bets can be viewed the very next year as shaky propositions. It's the beauty -- or, depending on how you look at it, the curse -- of fantasy football. No position is immune. Every season, there are a handful of […]

Champ or Chump: Kendrys Morales and Jose Bautista

Toronto has had a polarizing offseason to say the least. Faced with the possibility of losing two of their trademark sluggers, the team jumped on DH Kendrys Morales with a long term contract to fill the void. The move was questioned at the time, and looked even worse when the market refused to pay for […]

Fantasy Implications of Adam Eaton Joining the Washington Nationals

On December 7, the Nationals acquired Adam Eaton for Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Dane Dunning. Opinions of the trade differed based on projections of Giolito (who some remember as the game’s former top pitching prospect, and others think has lost a lot of his prospect shine) and Eaton’s center field defense (which metrics do not […]

The 2016 Fantasy Football All-Bust Team

Late in the second quarter of last Monday’s victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Clippers suffered a devastating blow to their playoff chances.

Champ or Chump: Nate Karns and Jose Quintana

Pitching always seems to define my fantasy seasons, good and bad. After covering Jarrod Dyson in the last Champ/Chump, it makes sense to acknowledge that the piece Kansas City acquired is also interesting from a fantasy perspective. Jose Quintana may be the best pitcher on the trade market, so he has been involved in his […]

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 […]
