Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- or 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Given the success that Dak Prescott has had, you would think he would stop being on streamer lists and would soon enter the conversation to at least be owned every week. With a Week 6 matchup in Green Bay, his ownership percentage […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcus Mariota has been underwhelming thus far in 2016, but the Browns have proven that playing them is the perfect cure for underperformance. Despite the numbers not meeting expectations overall, Mariota put forth one of his best career games in Week 5 […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Through four games in 2016, Alex Smith has been his normal, efficient self, completing 64.9% of his passes for an average of 268.3 yards per game to go along with five touchdowns and two interceptions. The Chiefs have a pretty favorable schedule overall, but […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 5 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

Listen, man, I'm just straight-up done.  I am one hundred percent over this, and after this most recent presidential debate, I was inspired to say something.  Not about the election  - God no, that debate was a hot mess.  But it did make me feel like yelling incoherently for theatrical effect at something that made […]

Reviewing Rick Lucks's Bold Predictions For 2016

During the offseason, I joined a bunch of my fellow Rotoballer writers in boldly predicting what might occur in the upcoming season. I foolishly ended that piece's intro with ,"Am I a Champ or a Chump?" despite the fact that no one had any idea how I did yet. The season is over, so now […]

Rookie Guards to Avoid in Fantasy Basketball

As much as the NBA Draft is a time to get excited about certain players, it's also a time to be skeptical from a fantasy perspective. Before a player can even get to the stage to shake Adam Silver's hand, the impacts of that player are already thought about by fantasy enthusiasts. Lets be honest; […]

Reviewing Christopher Olson's 10 Bold Predictions for 2016

I was one of several baseball writers who made a list of bold predictions heading into the 2016 season, and now it's time to see how those predictions panned out.

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/10/16)

Something had to give. With two teams in our Top 10 last week (Tennessee and Texas A&M) and several others (Miami, Wisconsin) just on the outside looking in, we expected some changes. But Houston, a 17-point favorite coming in, losing in Annapolis? Nope. We didn't see that coming. Here are our CFB rankings after Week […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids (Week 5)

The NFL schedule impacts each team in drastic ways. The Eagles opened with the Browns and Bears at home, then destroyed Pittsburgh. What if the schedule was turned around and the Eagles opened with the Steelers? The Steelers would have been a favorite and my guess is they would have won. If the Eagles lost […]

Three Overvalued Centers for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

Let me set one thing straight before I get started on my three overvalued NBA centers for the 2016-17 fantasy basketball season.

Week 5 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

Some weeks go your way, and some weeks don't. For example, if you didn't roster Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and/or wide receiver Julio Jones in your daily fantasy lineups last weekend, well ... it just wasn't your week.
