Can You Trust Yu Darvish in 2016?

The Texas Rangers are a team with serious playoff aspirations. Look no further than their interest in Ian Desmond for left field to see the team is willing to entertain all possibilities to contend in the AL West. The Houston Astros made a serious step forward in 2015 and the Rangers are the only competition […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Adam Wainwright

In sports, both real world and fantasy, injuries can really muddle a player’s overall value. Just like a Major League ball club may be bullish on signing a big name player who is returning from a significant injury to a big contract, a fantasy owner may hesitate to commit to drafting a big name player […]

Milwaukee Brewers Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

In 2015, the Brewers committed to a full rebuild, dealing away Carlos Gomez and Gerardo Parra at the trade deadline and Adam Lind, Francisco Rodriguez, Jean Segura, and Khris Davis in the offseason. The Brewers could continue that trend in 2016 and attempt to deal players like Ryan Braun, Aaron Hill, Matt Garza, and Will Smith […]

Saves & Holds: NL East Bullpen Depth Chart

With the 2016 fantasy baseball season approaching, bullpen depth charts can be tricky to decipher when entering your fantasy drafts. Projections of who will be vital to their respective team and to your fantasy team will be analyzed over the course of the next two months. Below I've identified the projected NL East closers, setup men, and […]

Five 2016 Second Base Sleepers

After you get past the elite options at second base, guys like Jose Altuve, things can get a little iffy. Because of that, it is pretty easy to just settle for a low-end player, punt that position, or even worse, reach for an overvalued player. As we get closer to Opening Day, here are some […]

Tyler Clippard Set Up To Be DBacks' Setup Man

Tyler Clippard did not have a great 2015 campaign. His strikeout rate was down, and his flyball rate was up. In 2014 with the Nationals, Clippard had an impressive 10.5 K/9 ratio. However it fell to 8.8 in Oakland in 2015, and then after going to the Mets in the same season it fell to […]

Langston Galloway (PG/SG, NYK) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: The other "Gallo" (I bet New York has started wishing they still had their original "Gallo," Danilo Gallinari, since he's suddenly turned into a better player than Carmelo Anthony) looks like he could be earning a slot in the starting lineup […]

Donald Sloan (PG/SG, BKN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Larkin has frankly stunk it up at point guard this season for the Nets, so it's Donald Sloan's job now. This isn't breaking news, it's just that Sloan seems to have established a stranglehold on the point guard job. He won't […]

Net Steals Leagues: Five Fantasy Baseball Busts and Avoids

I played in a net steals league a couple years back. It did not go well. In preparation for the auction draft, I foolishly assumed I could rely on standard steals projections. My plan for this particular auction was to sport a balanced attack, targeting guys with cross-category upside instead of chasing players with one major […]

Buying Back In To Hunter Pence?

It's an even year, so you know what that means. The Giants are in line for another World Series. If that's going to happen, the team is going to need quality contributions from newcomers Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija, repeat performances from Matt Duffy and Joe Panik, and most importantly, a resurgence from their formidable right fielder, […]

Addison Reed Next In Line For Saves For NYM?

Addison Reed was bounced from Arizona after a nightmarish stretch as the team's closer. He would rebound and be an effective reliever, but never regained his closing job. After joining the Amazins, Reed posted an impressive 1.17 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 17/5 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings. With Tyler Clippard gone, Reed is poised […]

Wilmer Flores A Deep League Stash in 2016

A true fan favorite, Wilmer Flores may not have a chance to give his fans some face time in 2016. When the Mets signed Asdrubal Cabrera, it basically relegated Flores to the bench and out of fantasy relevance. However Flores could platoon with Cabrera, and will be one of the first bats off the bench […]

NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/25/16): FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I'm not normally too enthusiastic about Thursday DFS slates, but the six gamer we have on deck tonight is really appealing. Four of the contests have over/unders set higher than 217 - which is pretty remarkable. The only game I'm going to actively avoid is the San Antonio - Utah game, which should be a […]

Shelvin Mack (PG, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Shelvin Mack started on Tuesday against the Rockets, and scored 17 points in 32 minutes of play. Aside from that his stats weren't great, but Coach Snyder seemed to indicate that Mack would be the starting point guard moving forward. The six […]

Patty Mills (PG, SA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Patty Mills is starting to heat up for the Spurs, and is back on fantasy radars. Coach Gregg Popovich has stated that Mills is "starting to look like he did the year before, before his injury." He's looking confident on the court […]
