NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Basketball Advice for 3/30/16

Not to be a downer, but there's little matchup appeal in this slate compared to most NBA Wednesdays.

Juan Nicasio (SP, PIT) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

Current ADP: 344 Baller Move: Target ~321 No one has ever questioned Juan Nicasio's ability to pitch, but after posting a 5.03 ERA through four seasons in Colorado, the outlook was not bright.

Three Catchers Poised to Break Out in 2016

Ah yes, the ol' catcher slot. A treacherous minefield where most people seem to be playing for the "friendliest loss" with who they settle for at the position. Well fear not, as here are three players who are set to breakout in 2016. When I say breakout, I don't mean going from 0-to-100 just like […]

Youth in Revolt: Three Potential 2016 Busts

As the noble poet Flavor Flav once proclaimed, "Don't Believe the Hype!" No sport is more rife with sleepers, prospects, and future superstars than baseball.

[…]

Preseason Champ or Chump: Shortstop

There are those who will try to convince you SS is amazingly deep this year. Don't buy it. In reality, it is just littered with guys that have ridiculously inflated ADPs based on unsustainable performances in small sample sizes. My best advice on the position is to wait to fill it, kind of like catcher. […]

Adrian Beltre: Undervalued Draft Day Target

BALLER MOVE: Target ~top 65 CURRENT ADP: 81.6 ANALYSIS: Sure things can be boring. Sure things don't elicit much excitement or get ooh's and ahh's at fantasy drafts.

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (3/28/16)

Packers To Sign Jared Cook

The Green Bay Packers have been in dire need for a tight end ever since Jermichael Finley. Richard Rodgers filled in will for the Pack in 2015, most notably on that miraculous TD catch to end the game against Detroit. However, they still needed a tight end who could create more matchup problems. Jared Cook […]

Bullpen Position Battles: American League

With spring training more than halfway through, evaluations of battles within bullpens of the American League have started to clear up.

Four Draft Targets On New MLB Teams

Same players, but new environments. It happens every year. For any number of reasons - including trades, free agency, new team directions, or just plain old chemistry issues -  MLB players switch to new teams in the offseason.

RotoBaller Rankings vs. ADP: Overvalued Shortstops

Draft preparation can be broken down into three stages. Stage one occurs during baseball's offseason.

Preseason Champ or Chump: Third Base

Third base is home to two of the trendiest "sleeper" picks this draft season, Kris Bryant and Miguel Sano.
