DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/6/16): MLB DFS Advice

Does it surprise anyone else that the San Francisco Giants have the worst record in the MLB since the All Star Break? I would have guessed a team like the Tampa Bay Rays or Atlanta Braves, but the Giants have been on a downward spiral recently. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/5/16)

The NCAA’s television partners trumpeted the week that was as the “greatest” opening weekend in the history of college football. In fact, the slate of games lived up to this over-hype, but not for the reasons originally intended. While pundits and pigskin propagandists waxed on (and on) about match-ups between the “Power Five” elites, programs […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust, Again

2014 was a banner year for rookie receivers. 2015 was a bummer year for rookie receivers. Only Oakland’s Amari Cooper had 1,000 receiving yards, and no other wideout topped the 900-yard mark. So there is no shortage of candidates for the award of "Sophomore Receiver Ready to Bust for the Second Straight Year".  Here are three […]

Five Wide Receivers Who Could Return to Top Tier Status in 2016

With the changing landscape in fantasy football, locking up two or three star wide receivers is becoming a requirement at draft time. Everyone knows to target Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, and Julio Jones at the top of drafts, but taking the wide receivers that come after them becomes just as important. Let's take a look […]

Win Your Fantasy Football League in 100 minutes or Less - The Perfect Strategy for the Busy Guy (or Girl)

I love fantasy football, and it's that emotional connection which as led to me frequently telling family, friends, and anyone who will listen that I play and so should they. When I started playing fantasy in 2001, it was smaller. Only a handful of websites had fantasy leagues available, and those same websites had a monopoly on fantasy advice […]

2016 Player vs. Player - Amari Cooper vs. Brandon Marshall

Breshad Perriman - Potential Sleeper in 2016

Earlier in August, the Baltimore Ravens finally received some good news regarding their young, and prospectively impactful, wide receiver. Breshad Perriman was activated off of the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list after partially tearing the ACL in his left knee in early June, according to coach John Harbaugh and CBS Sports. But for the fantasy […]

Three Quarterbacks Who Are Being Overvalued in 2016

Quarterbacks are always an interesting position every year for fantasy purposes. Some owners love using a selection on the top QBs in the third round (sometimes, even the second), essentially locking up the spot and never looking back. Others tend to use all of their high picks on other positions, believing they can secure great […]

September has begun – and with it, the fantasy football season has truly kicked off in earnest.

You’re all staring […]

Booms or Busts? Wide Receivers and Tight Ends

Today we will be checking out whether some tight ends and wide receivers will go boom or bust in 2016 fantasy football. There's nothing better than nailing that draft pick, and watching them produce like studs for your fantasy teams. At the same time, drafting a dud can bury your fantasy teams early in the […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Tight Ends Set to Bust Again

Just like 2015 was not a year to applaud rookie receivers, rookie tight ends did not deserve any standing ovations, either. No tight ends were taken in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft, and the first-year brood showed why.  This was far from a bumper crop of fantasy darlings.  The best of the unexceptional […]

2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook - San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers. You can go back less than 10 years ago and the combination of Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates was all promised to finish in the top-12 of their position. Today’s Chargers are not filled with as much certainty. While two of the three previously named players are still active, […]

Week 23 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

In just a month, baseball’s regular season will be over. More importantly, the fantasy baseball season will be over. This is the definition of crunch time. What you do right now defines you as a person. Will you be that team that fizzles out down the stretch? Or will you finish by skyrocketing upwards faster […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Peraza, Prado, and Tyler Anderson

Thanks to the new splits tab on Fangraphs.com, we now have access to BABIP data by batted ball type for pitchers. This is a useful tool for determining whether a speedy batter has been fortunate, and I expect this new data to tell us how much a pitcher is benefiting from or being hindered by […]

Player Props And What They Mean For Fantasy

Everyone’s got the $2 friend. I don’t mean a friend who is cheap, or may be considered trashy. It’s the friend who will find himself, every year, placing a buck or two on his team. He may casually bring it up at work, and say “Oh yeah, every year my buddies and I place $20 […]

Three Running Backs Who Will Bounce Back To The Top Tier

2015 was perhaps one of the most disastrous seasons for fantasy owners who spent a high draft pick on a running back. In 2015, Adrian Peterson, Le'Veon Bell, Eddie Lacy, Jamaal Charles, Marshawn Lynch, Jeremy Hill, and C.J. Anderson were all generally first round picks. Of that group, only Peterson finished as a top-10 scorer. The […]

Second Year Running Backs Primed to Breakout in 2016

It seems that the running back position for fantasy has been recently overshadowed by wide receivers. Owners are now looking to draft wideouts first, before running backs. In the past, running backs were flying off the draft board before everybody. Now, it's guys like Antonio Brown and A.J. Green and DeAndre Hopkins that have our […]

Rapid Reaction - Justin Forsett Cut, Who to Add in Fantasy Football

Justin Forsett was Saturday’s surprise cut, and fantasy players who bought in late on the 30-year old RB are most likely scrambling to replace him. Staying within the Ravens, there are only two running backs worth mentioning; Terrance West and Kenneth "Boobie" Dixon. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + […]

Rapid Reaction - Eagles Trade Sam Bradford to Vikings

It seemed that the Minnesota Vikings' hopes for a deep playoff run this year were dashed when quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went down in practice with a dislocated knee, a ruptured ACL, and a tibiofemoral dislocation, an injury described as career threatening by several sources close to to the team. The injury was so unexpected that it left […]
