2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Third Base

We’re bearing down on the end of another calendar year. To most people, December signifies holidays, the onset of winter, and the stretch run of football season. To me – along with Brad Johnson, Nick Mariano, and Max Petrie – it means it’s time for the first round of 2016 fantasy baseball rankings. As we […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/17/15

It looks like the beat down in Oakland has finally finished, so that means it is time to talk Thursday. With only three games on the slate, the margin for error is razor thin. For that reason and that reason only, most of my selections today will be for tournaments and not for cash game […]

The Next Men Up - Denard Robinson, Bryce Brown, Brandon Bolden, and Carolina's Committee

There are four new faces coming out of the woodwork to help you out (maybe) at running back in Week 15. LeGarrette Blount (hip), T.J. Yeldon (MCL), Jonathan Stewart (foot), Thomas Rawls (ankle) all suffered injuries in Week 14, and I guess DuJuan Harris (he stinks) is notably out of the way as well in […]

Nothing like starting up the semifinals with a hard-hitting matchup between the St. Louis Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, am I right? With less options to debate about, below are the definite plays and the not-so-definite plays for […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals: Amari Cooper, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, Emmanuel Sanders & More

The theme of this week's Warning Signals piece is essentially "repeat offenders." We'll be taking a look at some players who we've already discussed in the past but are once again throwing up duds at the worst possible time. For the most part, a lot of the key fantasy wide receivers are what they are at […]

Kevin Love (PF, CLE) - DraftKings Big Money Play, 12/17

Kevin Love (vs OKC, $8,000) For all you Serge Ibaka haters out there (cough cough, yours truly, cough), we’re going to see if all that practice of him standing out near the three point line has finally paid off. Because Kevin Love will be taking outside shots. And despite Ibaka’s insistence to hang out near the arc, I am […]

D'Angelo Russell (PG, LAL) - Tournament Value Play for DraftKings, 12/17

D’Angelo Russell (vs HOU, $5,400) The rookie out of Ohio State is bar none the top value play at point guard of the day, despite most likely starting off the bench. Russell has scored at least 41 DraftKings points in two out of his last three games while averaging about 34 minutes of playing time during […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Brandon Bolden, James White

The injury bug has enjoyed sweeping through the NFL and specifically New England this season. LaGarrette Blount joins a long list of fantasy-point-producers that will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season, while Brandon Bolden and James White join another list of those with sudden increased fantasy value and emergent opportunities. Bolden will step in […]

Quarterback Outlooks: Sam Bradford, Tyrod Taylor and Andy Dalton

If you ask two different people about their thoughts on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford, you would probably get two different answers. Some people believe he is super talented and the Eagles shouldn’t let him test free agency during the offseason. Others think he has absolutely no business being a starting quarterback in the league. […]

Running Back Outlook: Bryce Brown, Christine Michael, Fred Jackson

First it was Marshawn Lynch. An injured abdomen. Likely out for the season. Then, Thomas Rawls. Rushed for over 200 yards in one game, but fractured his ankle three weeks later. Out for the season as well. DuJuan Harris was supposed to get the call, but was subsequently released by the Seahawks after a relief […]

Running Back Outlooks: Jonathan Stewart, T.J. Yeldon, C.J. Anderson

Fantasy football owners will not be happy to hear that Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart has been ruled out for Week 15 against the New York Giants. He’s not going to play this week. We are going to be very cautious with this," head coach Ron Rivera said, according to Panthers.com. "The MRI came […]

Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/17

Kevin Durant (at CLE, $10,200) Yes I am trying to fit Kevin Durant and James Harden in my lineups tonight. As they say, big time players, make big time plays, in big time games. As far as regular season games go this game is one of the biggest. The Thunder have quietly won six games in […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) and Trevor Ariza (SF, HOU) - Stack on FanDuel 12/17

James Harden (at LAL, $10,800) This is definitely going to be a popular pick tonight, and rightfully so. Don't over think this one, it's James Harden against the Lakers. With a bunch of relatively safe cheap players available to roster tonight, Harden should not be the only star you can fit into your lineup.   Trevor […]

Keshawn Martin (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Keep on the waiver wire Owned In: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The New England Patriots always find a way. Dropping two in a row, falling out of first place overall in the AFC, the Patriots rebounded last week against the Houston Texans and now find themselves back in control of obtaining a […]

Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Omri Casspi had himself a pretty nice day on Tuesday against the Rockets. He recorded 19 points, six rebounds, six assists, and two steals. The scoring came on an efficient 8 of 11 shooting, with three of those makes coming from downtown. […]

Matthew Dellavedova (PG, CLE) - Value Pick on FanDuel 12/17

Matthew Dellavedova (at OKC, $4,200) Matthew Dellavedova is another low priced point guard I think has great chance to exceed value tonight. Of course Kyle Lowry is super tempting, but there are some other stars I have my eye on,  and I think Dellavedova will get starters minutes at a bench players price. There is […]

Jon Leuer (PF/C, PHO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Markieff Morris has been struggling this season and has lost his slot in the starting lineup. As a result, Jon Leuer has stepped up big time. Leuer has been found money over the last two weeks for the Suns and is contributing […]

Matt Barnes (SG/SF, MEM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Matt Barnes was recently moved into the starting lineup for Memphis, and he's been playing very well. Over the last four games, he's averaging 13 points and slightly over nine rebounds a game. Barnes has always been a good defensive enforcer due […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Leonard Hankerson, Julian Edelman and Vincent Jackson

Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Leonard Hankerson wasn’t without a football team for very long.

Thus far this season he has 26 receptions for 327 […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Donte Moncrief, Allen Hurns and Rishard Matthews

There have not been many bright spots for the Indianapolis Colts thus far this season, but one bright spot for the team has been wide receiver Donte Moncrief. Moncrief has been playing great throughout the season with 56 catches for 669 yards and five touchdowns. Not only has Moncrief been playing great this season, he […]

Fantasy Stock Down: T.J. Yeldon, Lamar Miller and Andre Ellington

It’s definitely not the time of year when fantasy football owners want to hear about a starter being out with an injury. Then again, fantasy football players never want to hear about a player being out with an injury. One running back who has probably helped lead many teams to their fantasy football playoffs is […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Week 8 Category Streamers

Week 8 is here! This week I stuck to three categories again, as the waiver wire pool just keeps getting thinner and thinner. Going forward you should be paying very close attention to injury news, even if it’s just for a game or two. Rotations are pretty locked in by this point in the season, […]
