Fantasy Baseball Spring Training News and Notes for 3/7/16 Cano Showing No Ill Effects From Off-Season Surgery Robinson Cano's 2015 Spring Training stats gave no indication that he was going to struggle for the first three months of the regular season. But that is exactly what happened when he hit .251 with six home runs […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Jose Iglesias

2015 In Review August had finished and fall baseball had begun. It was the first month that Jose Iglesias batted below .290 after a surprisingly hot and consistent start to his season. The Detroit Tigers were about to taste an October without playoff baseball for the first time since 2010, looking up at the Kansas City […]

Five Deeper Options At First Base For 2016

There are some positions in fantasy baseball where one should avoid getting cute and creative as much as possible. First base is one of them. But drafts are a funny thing: one rarely knows how they will play out. That's before one mentions leagues with flex positions, such as UTIL or MI. Personally, I have made that mistake […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Byron Buxton

2015 In Review Byron Buxton is an exceptional talent with All-Star written all over him someday, but the question is, can he help your fantasy team this season?

Kobalt 400 from Las Vegas: Daily Fantasy NASCAR DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks

It was another fantastic race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Jimmie Johnson tied Dale Earnhardt Sr. for 7th in all time wins with his 76th career victory.  It was an old school kind of race as we seen 210 laps of green flag racing before seeing a caution. It was the first race in 2016 with the […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Dustin Pedroia

There are many out there who think Dustin Pedroia is a sleeper pick this season. He's certainly got a lot to prove after his injury-marred 2015 season. He's a player who bleeds for the game and he's going to be aiming to bring himself back to the upper echelon. The question is... is it a […]

San Francisco Giants Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

First off, I just want to say congratulations to the 2016 World Series winning San Francisco Giants!

[…]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Five Runs Sleepers

Bringing runs across the plate is often seen as a one dimensional facet of the game. The guys who swat the RBI are saluted while many fantasy owners forget about the valuable run scored, an unglamorous statistic. I guess the R column just isn't as sexy as the HR or the SB. Overlooking the runs […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Travis d'Arnaud

It’s almost that time of the year again, when fantasy baseball owners are forced to make the decision to either reach for catcher Buster Posey in the first three rounds for his good but not great production, or wait and draft one of the tier three catchers and hope for the best. The catching position […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: 5 Busts Due for a Rebound

t’s really hard to admit when we have made a mistake. But sometimes, we look back on our fantasy season and we slap ourselves around for drafting a player who just didn’t cut it. The preseason hype was there, we were so excited to see the player tear it up, and he completely failed us. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/6/16): NBA DFS Advice

The two matchups that have the most stack-appeal on Sunday are the Oklahoma City Thunder versus the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Toronto Raptors hosting the Houston Rockets.

Stacking the Pads: Using 10-Game Trends to Find Steals

At this point in the season we have a pretty good sense of how every goaltender is playing. There’s always going to be some variance, but we have a nice sense of what to expect, this side of hot streaks and slumps, across the board. Outside of playing a backup, finding a steal at netminder […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Three WHIP Sleepers

In 2015, every qualified starting pitcher who ranked in the top 30 of WHIP (Walks + Hits per Inning Pitched) had a BB/9 under 3.00. 15 of those pitchers had a BB/9 under 2.00. There is a clear correlation between limiting walks and posting a low WHIP. When looking for WHIP sleepers, it’s ideal to […]

Pittsburgh Pirates Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

For the third consecutive season, the Pittsburgh Pirates hosted a Wild Card Game and for the second straight season they were eliminated at home.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/5/16): NBA DFS Advice

Has anyone else noticed that earlier in the season 250 fantasy points was enough to cash in a contest, but now it takes closer to 280+ fantasy points to cash? It's just a though, but I'd like to see DraftKings tighten up the prices a bit. Okay, so back to business. In this article, I […]
