2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Blake Swihart

2015 In Review Prior to the 2015 season, the Boston Red Sox had set themselves up with one of the best defensive tandems behind the plate; the combination of veteran Ryan Hanigan and up-and-coming Christian Vazquez, who's knack for impeding opposing run games raised plenty of eyebrows during his short stint in 2014. But after already […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Basketball Advice for 3/8/16

Six games is nothing to scoff at for a Tuesday. We should have some high totals as well, likely coming from Toronto, Portland, and Los Angeles. Two of the teams we try to avoid (San Antonio and Utah) are on this slate, but that doesn't mean you have to disregard the game entirely. With that […]

CBB DFS Lineup Picks (03/08/16): Daily Fantasy College Basketball  Advice for FanDuel

Everyone knows about March Madness, but only Daily Fantasy players know that this can be a difficult week for team selection, given the complexities of the conference tournament schedule.

Beast Quake, Skittles and Action, Boss: Marshawn Lynch's Career Retrospective

Marshawn Lynch is a magician. No, you say? Well, how else can you explain one man making nary a peep with his mouth, but creating a rumble so large that it registered on a seismograph with only his legs? OK, OK, magician is probably pushing it, but Lynch has safely assumed hero status in the […]

Mario Chalmers (PG/SG, MEM) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add OWNED: 30% of Yahoo!

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: 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 […]
