Carlos Correa: AL Rookie of the Year to Potential AL MVP

The reigning American League Rookie of the Year could very well contend for the American League Most Valuable Player award this season. Although a bold prediction, Carlos Correa turned plenty of heads with his 22 home runs and 68 RBI’s in only 99 games played during his rookie campaign. His average was significantly higher at […]

Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs TOR, $8,700 ANALYSIS: There are actually quite a few centers I'm intrigued with this evening, but KAT is going to be my guy in tournament play. He's been playing excellent, well-rounded basketball and has a few 50+ and nearly-50 fantasy point games in the past few weeks because of it. With so many […]

Myles Turner (PF, IND) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $5,700 ANALYSIS: With his recent play, Turner is looking like he could be the steal of the lottery in the 2015 NBA Draft, save for that Kristaps Porzingis guy. Over his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times, and by an average of more than seven points per contest. Even better, […]

Stanley Johnson (SF, DET) - Underused FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $4,900 ANALYSIS: After a few hot games, Johnson threw up a dud his last time out, which I'm hoping keeps his ownership percentage below 20% this evening. The thing I love about StanJohn is that even on nights his fantasy production isn't great, he never cheats himself of opportunity. In other words, […]

E'Twaun Moore (SG, CHI) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $4,200 ANALYSIS: I'm pretty underwhelmed by the options at shooting guard tonight, especially the pricier options, and with that in mind I'm looking for cheaper options with solid minutes and opportunity. Mr. Moore fits that description this evening, and he's currently playing some of the best basketball of his career. He's exceeded […]

Cory Joseph (PG, TOR) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $4,000 ANALYSIS: If you need salary relief at the point, Joseph is your guy on Wednesday. He draws a good matchup against the Timberwolves and since he comes off the bench, he likely wont have to deal with the pesky hands and defense of Ricky Rubio. Like Irving, Joseph too has exceeded […]

Rusney Castillo Has to Make Most of His Chance in 2016

OK. It looks like the training wheels are finally going to be off for Rusney Castillo. Boston has him starting in left field and they are going to see if that seven-year, $72.5 million contract is worth it. Either the Cuban will break out and make everyone in the Red Sox front office happy they […]

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $7,600 ANALYSIS: There's a lot to like about Kyrie Irving this evening, and if his recent play is indicative of anything, he's in for a big time performance. Over the Cavaliers' last 10 games, Irving has exceeded value 80% of the time, and by an average of over seven points per contest. […]

NBA Centers: Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The waiver wire this week is filled with all of the Zeller family and an old veteran showing he might have one last trick up his sleeve. The fantasy basketball season is slowly winding down so there's a good chance you already have your dream squad set up. If not, there are still a lot […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/10/16

We've got ourselves a 12-game Wednesday. What a damn treat that is. Options galore. The fact that we've got 24 teams in action means there are options. The fact that only the Spurs, Celtics, Jazz, Rockets, and Warriors on the back end of a back-to-back means we've really, really got options. As for Vegas insights, the […]

Brook Lopez (C, BK) - Smart DraftKings Play on 2/10/16

Brook Lopez (vs MEM, $7,500) Marc Gasol has recently been diagnosed with a broken foot, and the Grizzlies don’t have anyone else who is big enough to play center for an entire game. Brook Lopez is one of the best centers in the NBA, and it’s tough for anyone to guard him, let alone someone who isn’t […]

Markieff Morris (PF, PHO) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/10/16

Markieff Morris (vs GS, $6,500) Morris’ price is on the rise, but he’s still entirely too cheap for his new role with the Suns. Since the Suns changed their head coach, Morris is averaging 21.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steal in 34.5 minutes per game. He has only struggled in one of […]

Jamal Crawford (SG, LAC) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/10/16

Jamal Crawford (at BOS, $5,300) Jamal Crawford’s price is finally around where it should be, but Crawford should still nearly be a lock for value tonight. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 20.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He gets most of his fantasy production from scoring, and he’s averaging over […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/10/16

The Grizzlies recently announced that Marc Gasol has a broken foot, and he'll be out for a while. This is a major problem for the Grizzlies, as they don't have anyone that can fill in big minutes at the center position, but this is great for fantasy purposes. We can attack the Grizzlies center position, […]

Turning Two: Who Will Save 50 Games? Welcome back to our fifth edition of Turning Two.

Five 2015 Breakouts to Believe In

It happens every year: A bunch of players produce way above or below expectations, and we spend the entire offseason arguing over whether or not the improvement or decline was genuine. Today we'll discuss five players whose coming out parties should continue in 2016. All week long, I’ll be taking a look at last season’s surprises, […]

Boston Needs Joe Kelly To Be An Above-Average Joe This Season

There was a time where Joe Kelly showed a glimmer of hope that he might be a very good starter. It was in 2013, when he fashioned a 10-5 record for the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals. He didn't overpower anyone, but his 2.69 ERA showed promise. Ironically, he was traded the next year […]

Stacking the Pads: Sneaky Goalies for DFS Lineups

At this point in the season we have a pretty good sense of how every goaltender is playing. There’s always going to be some variance, but we have a nice sense of what to expect, this side of hot streaks and slumps, across the board. That winds up making it tricky to find a good […]

Mat Latos: A Fresh Chance in Chicago Means Fantasy Relevance

The White Sox just signed Mat Latos to a one year deal, shoring up the back end of their rotation. It’s a low risk maneuver from the Chi-Sox here to bring in Latos after a horrid end to 2015. Latos used to be good for 185 strikeouts in a full season (he's only 28), and […]

NBA Player Analysis: What's Up With Andrew Wiggins?

RotoBaller is starting up a new series taking a close look at selected universally-owned star players. NBA writer Nate Derosena will take a fresh look at players that have fantasy basketball owners wondering -- what's up? Where's the big jump in stats you were expecting? Where were the big numbers he was producing in the […]

Brandon Moss Hard to Recommend for 2016

Brandon Moss and his frustrated fantasy owners may have had little to be proud of in 2015 as he scuffled mightily, but a late season trade to the Red Birds gave his fortunes a slight turnaround. If you are wondering how this story may play out in 2016--that of an aging slugger falling on hard times--you need look […]

Don't Overpay in 2016 for Randal Grichuk's 2015

After holding his own in a 2014 audition, rookie Randal Grichuk found himself starting full-time in the majors for the first time last year after the Cardinals lost Matt Holliday to the DL. He filled in admirably, hitting .276 with 17 home runs in only 350 at-bats. Already up to 46th in our outfield ranking after […]

Stephen Piscotty Should Help Ease the Sting of Heyward's Departure

Stephen Piscotty had a spectacular 2015 that saw him hit .305 with seven home runs and 39 RBI over 256 at-bats, earning him the 43rd spot in our outfield ranking. Currently atop the right field depth chart, Piscotty hopes that he and Randal Grichuk can help prove that the Cardinals were smart in letting star outfielder Jason Heyward leave for the rival Cubs this off-season. […]

Francisco Liriano Hopes To Keep Rolling In 2016

Since signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates prior to the 2013 season, starting pitcher Francisco Liriano has strung together three straight seasons of posting a 3.38 ERA or better. The left-hander has done so by featuring a dominant slider and improving his command. The slider, which in 2015 ranked fourth in the majors according to Fangraphs.com valuations, […]

PGA DFS: DraftKings Fantasy Golf Sleeper Picks and Advice for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

What a Phoenix Open that was. I wonder how many watched Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama play all four playoff holes, even though the Super Bowl was kicking off during the playoff. I'll be honest, I was switching back and forth between the Super Bowl and the sudden death playoff. Ricky Fowler completely blew that […]
