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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/25/16

The time is right to employ an ultimate stars and scrubs strategy on Thursday night. With KD, Brook, the Brow and the Beard all on the board with plus matchups, it just feels right. And hey, maybe even Dwight Howard could get a mention in today’s DFS DraftKings piece. Spoiler Alert: He doesn’t. In this […]

Off to Canton Goes Charles Woodson

Defensive back Charles Woodson had previously announced that 2015-16 would be his last season playing pro football. Woodson, now 39, has had quite the amazing career. Starting with his time at the University of Michigan, Woodson won the Heisman Trophy in 1997 while helping the Wolverines win a national title in that same season. It's also […]

2016 Top Five Outfield Keeper Values

These rankings are derived from my 15 step formula. The Keeper Valuation Formula uses the players’ age, draft round, number of teams in the league, current stats, projected stats, games played percentage, positional value, and some secret squirrel statistical math. The product is a true Keeper Value for each player. Consider the derived Values the same […]

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball Part 10: Minor League Stats

Once you've grown accustomed to having advanced tools to help make fantasy decisions, it can be disorientating to be without them. Prospects are increasingly becoming a focal point in both real and fantasy baseball, but the minors simply do not have all of the data available for MLB players. For example, advanced plate discipline stats, […]

Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500: Daily Fantasy NASCAR DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks

Another Daytona 500 is in the books and Denny Hamlin picked up the win in the closest margin of victory in Daytona history. Hamlin and the #11 team were strong all speedweeks as was the entire Joe Gibbs Racing team. Hamlin dominated the race throughout leading 95 laps while his teammates Matt Kenseth(40) and Kyle […]

Bartolo Colon Will Have Value Early in 2016

Bartolo Colon may be the most entertaining player on the Mets just by virtue of his size, and how he looks at the plate. Make no mistake though, the seasoned veteran still has a little something something to offer. His strikeout rate and ERA won't wow anyone, but his walk rate will. Colon makes hitters […]

Kevin Plawecki Makes For A Good Injury Replacement

Kevin Plawecki did not make the most of his opportunity last season, but that doesn't mean he can't be someone to watch in 2016. The narrative hasn't changed in the sense that Plawecki still needs an injury to Travis d'Arnaud in order to be relevant. That being said, catcher isn't the best source of counting […]

Rafael Montero Worth Monitoring In 2016

Rafael Montero doesn't have much fantasy value at the moment, as he's projected to be a bullpen option or spot starter. However, given the seemingly increased fragility of starting pitchers lately, Montero is worth keeping tabs on. Should one of the Mets' other starters go down, Montero would likely be the next man up. Also, […]

Jayson Werth (OF, WAS) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~190 CURRENT ADP: 306 ANALYSIS: Jayson Werth is entering his age-37 season, and he's averaged just 111 games per season since 2012 due to a variety of injuries. 2015 was the worst season of his career, and the end is nigh for the 13-year veteran. That said, Werth was pretty awesome in […]

Stephen Piscotty (OF, STL) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: 268 ANALYSIS: Stephen Piscotty is just outside the top 10 on the batted ball distance leader-boards, sandwiched between J.D. Martinez and reigning AL MVP Josh Donaldson. Piscotty posted this mark while hitting nearly 60 percent of his fly balls to the opposite field. Additionally, he managed a fairly remarkable .350 […]

Michael Conforto (OF, NYM) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140 CURRENT ADP: 230 ANALYSIS: Even though Michael Conforto had fewer than 200 plate appearances above A-ball, the Mets were aggressive in promoting him last July. Thrown into the fire of a pennant race, Conforto shined, putting together a .270/.335/.506 line with nine homers and 56 R+RBI in 56 games. The power […]

Jorge Soler (OF, CHC) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: 171 ANALYSIS: In 2014, then 22-year-old Jorge Soler gave the Wrigley faithful and fantasy owners alike plenty to get excited about, slashing .292/.330/.573 with five homers in just 97 plate appearances. Unfortunately, he stumbled out of the gate in 2015 and never really recovered, turning in an underwhelming .262/.324/.399 […]

Joc Pederson (OF, LAD) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: 169 ANALYSIS: Despite a second-half collapse, Joc Pederson still hit 26 home runs and posted a 15.7% walk rate in his rookie season. Yes, the contact issues will continue to suppress his batting average, and the lack of stolen bases (just four in 11 attempts) was a disappointing development, […]

NBA Forwards: Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

It's another week of questions at the forward position--and hopefully another week of three more potential answers on the waiver wire. This week, I bring to the forefront three sleepers on the power end of the forward position who have brought their respective games to a level high enough in the past couple of weeks […]

NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/16): FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I hope everyone is as starving for a big Wednesday night of action as I am. I thought the All-Star break would be a nice, well, break, but then I remembered how long the NBA's break is compared to the MLB and regretted ever wishing for a few days off from it all. Wednesday's slate […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values? Raisel Iglesias

The hard throwing Iglesias came on the scene in Cincinnati last season and turned a lot of heads within the organization. He also made believers of the rest of the league of his true talent. Now he's one of the most popular "sleepers" in 2016 drafts. Will he turn in a big-time 2016 season for […]

Now we'll shift to a broader topic: breakout players for 2016. Finding the […]
