Who Ya Got: Schwarber or d'Arnaud?

Last offseason, I stumped fairly hard for Travis d'Arnaud as a fantasy sleeper, expecting him to build on his performance down the stretch in 2014. Unfortunately, he continued to have trouble staying on the field, as a pair of injuries put him on the shelf for most of the season's first half. When he did […]

Fantasy Football Sells? DeAngelo Williams, Jimmy Graham, Jay Ajayi

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) Seattle's unwillingness to make Jimmy Graham a focal point of its struggling offense is mind-boggling, but it remains to be the case.

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/20/15

Daily fantasy basketball happens to be one of the most predictable fantasy sports that there is. Players generally get the same amount of minutes per game, and they can usually be expected to score, rebound, and assist at around the same ratio. This makes finding value plays fairly easy. I will provide a top play […]

Fantasy Football Buys? Aaron Rodgers, Darren McFadden, Jeremy Hill

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your season. The right trade can make or break your team. The key is to buy low on cold players, then swap them out once they get hot and their value skyrockets. Everyone knows this method, but that doesn't mean you still can't […]

Jeffery missed practice on Friday with a shoulder and […]

Mike Evans and Calvin Johnson Both Have Huge Potential in Week 11

The wide receiver position is always interesting to forecast who will deliver the best performance on any given week. Julio Jones and Antonio Brown are the most consistent sources but just about every other wide receiver can be a hit or miss depending on the schedule. Two specific receivers that are borderline WR1 plays most […]

Charcandrick West and Darren McFadden Poised to Exploit Matchups

Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West has emerged as a great option at running back over the last month.

West is averaging 21.7 standard fantasy points per game over the […]

Emmanuel Sanders A 'Full Go' For Sunday, Not Practicing With Brock Osweiler This Week

Bradford left last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins early with a shoulder injury as […]

Brock Osweiler or Matt Hasselbeck in an Emergency Role?

My my, the fantasy year it’s been for both Peyton Manning and his successor in Indianapolis, Andrew Luck. Manning has nearly double the amount of interceptions (17) than he does touchdowns (9). Luck has 13 interceptions in a surprisingly average season for the fourth year quarterback. Both have battled through injuries. Now they tag in their replacements. […]

Matt Forte to Share Carries? Odell Beckham Sees Many Targets and Rob Gronkowski Leads League in PI Penalties

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte obviously doesn’t care much about his fantasy football owners. He has told the Chicago Tribune that he is willing to share carries with Jeremy Langford when he’s able to return from his knee injury. "Jeremy has talent," Forte said. "He's done his job like he's supposed to ... I've […]

Allen Robinson, Julius Thomas, Delanie Walker Barely Headline Thursday Night

If you started kickers Jason Myers or Ryan Succop last night, then you had a pretty good start to your fantasy week. If you started nearly anyone else, then you didn’t.

The Mighty Fall: Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez

2015 marked a changing of the guard at shortstop, as the top three players at the position in offensive value (per Fangraphs) were rookies. In fourth place? Second-year man Xander Bogaerts, aged 23.
