Carlos Gonzalez Looks to Continue Power Surge to Top OF Spot

Carlos Gonzalez rode one of the hottest streaks we’ve seen in a while to a fantastic finish to 2015. It’s hard to speak about seasonal averages for a guy who is always dealing with injuries, he was as locked in as he’d ever been. 2015 saw him log over 600 plate appearances for the first […]

A Year of Health, and Redemption, for Jacoby Ellsbury

Jacoby Ellsbury's forgettable 2015 campaign can undoubtedly be split into two narratives; good and bad. Ellsbury's season began promising,as he batted .321 in April and then .328 in May, but then missed nearly two months after tweaking his knee at the end of the month. Upon returning from injury in the middle of July, the Yankees' $150 million […]

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. These players did not make it into my Top Five Third Basemen Keeper Values, but may […]

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball Part 2: HR/FB for Hitters

Using BABIP to predict a player's batting average is great. Average is a category in many league formats, and every hit is an opportunity to steal a base or score a run. But most owners find the long ball sexier. Every HR comes with a guaranteed run scored and at least one RBI--and maybe more. […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/26/16

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/26

DeMarcus Cousins (at POR) - $11,200 Can anyone stop Boogie right now? Well, I'm not sure. But it surely won't be the Trail Blazers. Portland has struggled against big men all year, and Cousins is playing like he's from another planet. The pace will be up with two teams who like to push the ball, […]

Archie Goodwin (PG, PHO) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/26

Archie Goodwin (at PHI) - $4,100 With Brandon Knight out for at least another week, Archie Goodwin will presumably continue to see upwards of 40 minutes for the Suns. The Sixers are a nice matchup to target, and anyone getting over 30 minutes at this price is a solid play. Fire up Goodwin.

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) and Terrence Ross (SG, TOR) - Stack on FanDuel 1/26

DeMar DeRozan (vs. WAS) - $8,400 DeRozan has been crushing value lately, hitting 40 FDP with ease. The Wizards push the pace, which led to 49 FDP for DeRozan against this same team a few games back. Look for the shooting guard to dominate shots again on Tuesday, and don't be surprised if he is […]

Rudy Gobert (C, UTA) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DET, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Rudy Gobert has great upside, especially against the Detroit Pistons tonight, as Andre Drummond really does not know how to play defense. Gobert is a fantastic rebounder, and he has also figured out how to score around the basket. In two of his last four games, he has over 40 […]

Harrison Barnes (SF, GSW) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SA, $4,800 ANALYSIS: It looks like Harrison Barnes is going to start seeing over 30 minutes in every game from here on out. His injury is behind him, and he should continue to play well. In his last game, against the Indiana Pacers, he posted 25.7 fantasy points in 35 minutes. He generally […]

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Top FanDuel Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MIN, $9,900 ANALYSIS: LeBron James had something to prove in his last game, against the Chicago Bulls, as the Cleveland Cavaliers recently fired their head coach. He responded the way that only King James knows how to respond - with 26 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, and over 60 fantasy points. Tonight, he […]

Tyler Johnson (SG, MIA) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $4,200 ANALYSIS: The Miami Heat are dealing with a ton of injuries right now. Hassan Whiteside has been banged up. Dwyane Wade has been questionable to play for a couple of games now. Goran Dragic, Beno Udrih, and a ton of other players are banged up. That has led to Tyler Johnson […]

Tyreke Evans (SG, NO) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $7,100 ANALYSIS: Tyreke Evans did not look great in his last game, which was against the Milwaukee Bucks, as he only played 24 minutes and posted 21.4 fantasy points. However, in the game prior, against the Detroit Pistons, he posted over 40 fantasy points in only 31 minutes on the court. He […]

NBA Trade Deadline: Players to Buy Low, Part 2

It’s now less than 30 days from the NBA trade deadline (Feb. 18th, 3pm) and likely even closer to your fantasy trade deadline.

Chicago White Sox Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

There were many people wondering if the Chicago White Sox would go into this offseason as buyers or sellers.

If anyone was curious about where the team was headed going into the […]

Kemba Walker (PG, CHA) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/25

Kemba Walker (at SAC, $8,600) Walker is the recent owner of two 70+ fantasy point performances in four games, one of which exceeded 80 fantasy points (52 points, nine rebounds, eight assists). The Charlotte Hornets visit the Sacramento Kings, in a matchup between two teams that score a lot of points and play at a […]

Boban Marjanovic (C, SA) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/25

Boban Marjanovic (vs GS, $3,500) Tim Duncan will miss Monday's premium matchup between the Spurs and the Warriors due to soreness in his right knee. Boris Diaw will likely sneak into the starting lineup, but Marjanovic should see a boost in minutes. When Duncan last missed action on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns, Marjanovic posted a double-double, […]
