Mario Chalmers (PG/SG, MEM) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add OWNED: 30% of Yahoo!

Five Deeper Options At First Base For 2016

There are some positions in fantasy baseball where one should avoid getting cute and creative as much as possible. First base is one of them. But drafts are a funny thing: one rarely knows how they will play out. That's before one mentions leagues with flex positions, such as UTIL or MI. Personally, I have made that mistake […]

Kobalt 400 from Las Vegas: Daily Fantasy NASCAR DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks

It was another fantastic race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Jimmie Johnson tied Dale Earnhardt Sr. for 7th in all time wins with his 76th career victory.  It was an old school kind of race as we seen 210 laps of green flag racing before seeing a caution. It was the first race in 2016 with the […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Dustin Pedroia

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Five Runs Sleepers

Bringing runs across the plate is often seen as a one dimensional facet of the game. The guys who swat the RBI are saluted while many fantasy owners forget about the valuable run scored, an unglamorous statistic. I guess the R column just isn't as sexy as the HR or the SB. Overlooking the runs […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Travis d'Arnaud

It’s almost that time of the year again, when fantasy baseball owners are forced to make the decision to either reach for catcher Buster Posey in the first three rounds for his good but not great production, or wait and draft one of the tier three catchers and hope for the best.

t’s really hard to admit when we have made a mistake. But sometimes, we look back on our fantasy season and we slap ourselves around for drafting a player who just didn’t cut it. The preseason hype was there, we were so excited to see the player tear it up, and he completely failed us. […]

Stacking the Pads: Using 10-Game Trends to Find Steals

There is a clear correlation between limiting walks and posting a low WHIP. When looking for WHIP sleepers, it’s ideal to […]

Pittsburgh Pirates Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

For the third consecutive season, the Pittsburgh Pirates hosted a Wild Card Game and for the second straight season they were eliminated at home.
