Buster Posey is Still Fantasy Baseball's Top Catcher

Catcher is the weakest position in fantasy baseball, but that fact doesn't hurt San Francisco Giants backstop Buster Posey. In fact, the dearth of quality options makes Posey even more attractive. His last two seasons have been remarkably consistent. He hit .311 with 22 home runs and 89 RBIs in 2014 and followed it up […]

Tyson Ross: A Solid Second-Tier Pitcher

Only 12 pitchers had more than Tyson Ross' 212 strikeouts last season. His 9.73 strikeouts per nine innings were eighth-best in the majors. His numbers were borderline ace material, but because he pitched for an underwhelming 74-88 San Diego Padres team, you might not have noticed. Don't make that mistake again in 2016. The Padres aren't […]

A Grand Return for Yasmani Grandal

Not many catchers have the ability to hit 20 HR at the major league level. Limited to only 115 games in 2015, Yasmani Grandal proved his name deserves to be on such a list. While he won't start many more than 115 games in 2016 even if he avoids injury (simply due to a catcher's need […]

Jared Dudley (SG/SF, WAS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Jared Dudley has had a small resurgence lately, scoring double digit points in his last three games. In 31 minutes of action on Tuesday, Dudley scored 14 points with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers. Clearly he's capable […]

Brandan Wright (PF/C, MEM) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Injury Stash In All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Memphis Grizzlies big man Brandan Wright is working his way back from injury, and it couldn't come at a better time. The Grizzlies just lost Marc Gasol for what could be the rest of the season to a broken foot and […]

George Springer is Ready for a Full Season

George Springer hasn’t played more than 102 games in each of his first two seasons yet everyone is still talking about him. Rightfully so. Springer entered the bigs in 2014 and hit 20 dingers and drove in 51 runs in only 78 appearances. In 2015, despite a slight dip in production mainly in part to […]

2/11 Combine Upcoming and the Rise of Carson Wentz

Combine Is Coming The NFL Combine will be held Feb. 23-29 and the list of invitees is currently being put together. Stay tuned as we will bring you the full in depth list when released. Carson Wentz....Told Ya So Anyone who has followed my blog over the last YEAR. knows I have been talking about […]

Brock Holt Ready For Another Year As Red Sox Utility Man

Brock Holt, whose name sounds like something out of a Wild West movie, isn't going to be a superstar. The nearly 28-year-old will be a very good player who can handle enough positions to allow manager John Farrell to give him around 500 plate appearances a year. He'll hit for a modest .280 average and […]

Marcin Gortat (C, WAS) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIL, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Had to end with the Polish Hammer. Although I think he's a great play tonight, I expect Marcin Gortat's ownership level to be through the roof. Although I'm sure there will be a chunk of DFS'ers risking it with Enes Kanter or Steven Adams tonight, I just don't see the upside, and […]

Jared Dudley (PF, WAS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIL, $4,600 ANALYSIS: Ok so hear me out. I know his DFS numbers are generally underwhelming, but Jared Dudley has been pretty consistently hitting 4x value, and has the revenge game factor tonight. What's the revenge game factor you ask? Players always play better against their former teams. Now I don't have any numbers to […]

Ryan Anderson (SF, NO) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at OKC, $5,900 ANALYSIS: With Tyreke Evans out, someone has to score for New Orleans other than Anthony Davis, and that man is Ryan Anderson. I'm a little worried about Durant guarding him for stretches of games where OKC goes small, but hopefully they won't need too, as this should be an absolute blow out. And […]

Greg Monroe (C, MIL) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/11

Greg Monroe (vs WAS, $7,000) So, what exactly is Jason Kidd doing? Greg Monroe was relegated to the bench last game for some odd reason, presumably to “shake things up,” and although it kind of worked out with a win, it took a lot of court time from usual starter Monroe to will the Bucks […]

Ryan Anderson (PF, NO) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/11

Ryan Anderson (at OKC, $5,700) Anderson is in a nice spot against the Thunder. He should see some nice run with the second unit and after only playing 24 minutes on Wednesday, he should be as fresh as produce for an up-tempo game. OKC typically does not blow teams out because the bench unit is […]

Khris Middleton (SG, MIL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $7,300 ANALYSIS: So normally I would do just about everything possible to avoid rostering players from this game tonight, but on a two game slate that's impossible. Although the spread looks to be around 210 points, both of these teams are really hard to predict on a night to night basis with the […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) and Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - Stack on DraftKings 2/11

Russell Westbrook (vs NOP, $11,200) This just in: Westbrook is a stud. And if you’re looking for a reason to not roster him, I cannot give one. The Thunder don’t really blow teams out, especially when they’re favored heavily. I imagine he will be the most heavily owned player on the board across the industry. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/11/16

After Thursday’s megaslate of two games is finished, there will be not fantasy basketball for about a week. Seriously, what are we supposed to do? Read a book? How could the Association do this to us? Have fun playing tonight and good luck to all of you over the next week. I know I’ll need […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - Undervalued FanDuel Play on 2/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NOP, $5,100 ANALYSIS: With Tyreke Evens out until the all star break, and Jrue Holiday on a 25ish minutes restriction, Norris Cole will be the biggest DFS beneficiary of the next few games.  Cole has shown that he can produce serious fantasy numbers when given starters minutes. He has scored over 30 FD points in […]

Five 2015 Busts Who Will Bounce Back

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. Separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to last year’s performances can be the difference between a championship season and bitter, abject […]

Collin McHugh Worth a Middle-Round Look

It’s easy to overlook Collin McHugh’s impressive 2015 season when the pitcher ahead of him in the rotation won the Cy Young. McHugh’s 19 wins, one fewer than Keuchel, were accompanied by a 3.89 ERA and 171 strikeouts. McHugh was also the recipient of plenty run support as he posted four wins in both June […]

Blake Swihart May Get Nod to Start Season Behind The Plate For Boston

Right now Boston has a crowded catching corps with Blake Swihart, Ryan Hanigan and Christian Vazquez all on the roster. After Spring Training, it'll probably be pared down to two and Swihart has the upper hand on the depth chart. He's the youngest of the three and would probably benefit from having the older Hanigan […]

Will Dallas Keuchel Repeat Success in 2016?

After posting a bloated 5.00-plus ERA in his first two seasons, no one could have guess what was later in store for Dallas Keuchel. 2014 showcased a completely different pitcher, a confidence that was then carried into 2015. The hard-throwing lefty’s numbers jumped tremendously, even from a productive 2014 where he won 12 games and […]

We're getting into the nitty-gritty of the college basketball season now--the time of year that separates the contenders from the pretenders. And, not surprisingly, we've seen some movement in our Top 10, just like in the AP and USA Today polls, even as we evaluate teams based on fantasy metrics. Below are our CBB rankings […]

What Evan Gattis's Injury Could Mean for Fantasy

Evan Gattis will be sidelined four to six weeks after having hernia surgery. This means a couple of things for the fantasy world. If the recovery goes as planned, Gattis will be able to get some work in before opening against the New York Yankees in early April, and will very well remain a suitable […]

Gerald Henderson (SG/SF, POR) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Gerald Henderson has scored double digit points in five straight games, and in seven of the last eight. It looks like Henderson is finally getting into a groove with the Blazers and he could have some deep league fantasy value. Any value […]
