Antonio Brown, A.J. Green, Randall Cobb: Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

Antonio Brown – WR, Pittsburg Steelers When I first mentioned Antonio Brown on this list last week, the premise was rather simple: hang in there while Michael Vick is under center, leave Brown in your lineup, and hope for the best. Obviously injuries are never something you hope for, but sometimes there's a silver lining to a team being forced […]

Giants Will Exercise $5.5 Mill Option On Aoki

The San Francisco Giants will exercise Nori Aoki’s $5.5 million option for the 2016 season. The defending World Series champions are under the impression that the right fielder will continue to heal from a concussion that forced his 2015 season to end early. The hope is that Aoki will be back in time for Spring […]

Twins Pursuing Pierzynski For 2016

The Minnesota Twins are “expected to look to bring back” A.J. Pierzynski for the 2016 season. The veteran catcher had an amazing season for a 38-year-old catcher. Pierzynski finished the 2015 season with a .300/.339/.430 batting line with 9 HR and 49 RBI over 113 games for the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta could look to re-sign […]

Landry Jones to Start; 49ers Sticking with Colin Kaepernick; Marcus Mariota Ruled Out

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going forward with plans to start Landry Jones at quarterback in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ben Roethlisberger was listed as questionable on the team’s injury report this week instead of doubtful, but he’s still expected to sit the game out. Roethlisberger’s backup Michael Vick has not practiced at […]

Jeremy Maclin, Julio Jones and Stevie Johnson All Expected to Play in Week 7

Here is some good news if you own Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones and/or San Diego Chargers receiver Stevie Johnson. Maclin returned to practice on Friday after suffering a concussion in Week 6. Currently he has 39 receptions for 531 yards and one touchdown. With Jamaal Charles out […]

Patrick Patterson (PF, TOR) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

With the departure of starting PF Amir Johnson, it appears that Patrick Patterson will fill the hole at the 4-slot for the Raptors, at least initially. Patterson has only averaged 8.3 points and 4.8 rebounds over his career, but the 26 year old's ability to knock down the three at a respectable clip makes him […]

Indians 'Have Some Interest' In Ozuna

The Cleveland Indians “have some interest” in Marcell Ozuna. The Tribe need some help at centerfielder, and Ozuna could be the help they’re looking for, according to CBS Sports. Marlins general manager Michael Hill has said the club intends to keep Ozuna, but the outfielder might not want to be in Miami for the 2016, […]

Cespedes (Shoulder) Doesn't Participate In Team Workouts

Yoenis Cespedes will not participate in the New York Mets workouts on Friday. The outfielder is dealing with a shoulder issue that he suffered at some point prior to Game 4 on Wednesday. Cespedes didn’t receive a cortisone shot, which could be good news for the severity of the injury. It could be simply a […]

Julius Randle (PF, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

After sitting out his rookie season after a heartbreaking injury in his first game as an NBA pro, many have discounted the Kentucky star's ability to carve out a role in the NBA. The 6' 9” power forward has been branded as a “tweener” who excelled bullying smaller college players with his strength - a […]

Quarterbacks & Tight Ends Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 7

There's been the good, the bad and the ugly through six weeks of NFL action. More specifically, there's been a slew of quarterbacks and tight ends who have broken your heart repeatedly. Whether it's been inconsistent play for weeks, or just one or two weeks of struggles, the players listed below have all put out warning […]

Roy Hibbert (C, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

It seems like forever since the former All-Star has been an exciting fantasy player to own – but this preseason Hibbert has looked rejuvenated. He has been rebounding the ball at a tremendous rate for the Lakers – averaging 10.4 rebounds in just 25.3 minutes. Minutes should not be an issue as Hibbert, as the […]

Isaiah Thomas (G, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Perhaps no player burst onto the scene in the 2013-2014 season as loudly as Isaiah Thomas.  In that season the diminutive guard averaged 20.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.8 three pointers made per game for the Sacramento Kings.  He then signed a new deal with the Phoenix Suns, but got off to a disappointing start while battling […]

Marco Belinelli (SG/SF, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

The Kings are a somewhat of a mystery for fantasy basketball managers. They've undergone a change of ownership and several front-office staffing and coaching changes over the past couple of years. The organization has essentially been in turmoil over the past few seasons, but in the NBA's land of misfits, this could be the season […]

C.J. Spiller to See More Carries? Carlos Hyde Dealing With Stress Fracture

If you’re still holding onto C.J. Spiller in any of your redraft leagues, congratulations – you have more patience than me! The former Buffalo Bills running back currently only has 12 rushes for 41 yards for the Saints this season through five games. He has been slightly more effective in the passing game with 15 […]

Kyle Korver (G/F, ATL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Many times when you are in a fantasy draft, much of the league is looking to make flashy picks with big names or players with a high ceiling.  Often a player such as Kyle Korver goes undervalued due to style of basketball he plays.  However, when you take a look at the numbers you see […]

C.J. Anderson, Sammy Watkins, Charcandrick West: Fantasy Football Fallers

C.J. Anderson – RB, Denver Broncos The guillotine dropped slowly, but it seems to have finally fallen in Denver. C.J. Anderson had every opportunity to take hold of the starting running back position. He even started this week's game against the Cleveland Browns and had his most productive PPR fantasy day of the year, but […]

Daily Fantasy MMA: DrafKings DFS Lineup Picks & Advice for UFC Fight Night Dublin

If you read my column last week, you probably did pretty well on DraftKings. Scratch that, you WOULD HAVE done well if not for the debacle that canceled the entire slate and ruined the opportunity for major success. But it's a new week and I'm confident DraftKings will get through the slate without a glitch. The […]

Steve Smith Sr., Unlikely to Be Traded, Breshad Perriman Still Out

Earlier this year Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. announced his plans to retire following the 2015 NFL season. With that in mind, it would make sense if the 1-5 Ravens tried to deal the 36-year-old to an instant contender. That, however, doesn’t seem likely to happen. According to Yahoo Sports, the team is […]

Stefon Diggs, Christine Michael, Jonathan Stewart: Fantasy Football Risers

Stefon Diggs – WR, Minnesota Vikings While it's only been two weeks, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been red-hot lately. The rookie out of Maryland has grabbed 13 receptions for 216 yards in his last two games. His biggest game (seven catches for 129 yards) came against the weak Kansas City Chiefs secondary, […]

Kenneth Faried (F, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Going into last season, Kenneth Faried was pegged as player who could be ready to bust out for a giant season.  That was not the case.  He saw his points per game drop by over a point per game and was not able to boost his rebounding or defensive stats.  Look for that to change […]

Daily Fantasy NASCAR: DraftKings DFS Picks & Analysis for the CampingWorld.Com 500

The 12 remaining drivers in the Chase enter the second elimination this Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Going in to the CampingWorld.com 500, only Joey Logano has safely advanced into the next round.

Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part VII: Surprise Saguaros

And we have finally made it to the last team in the Arizona Fall League, the Saguaros, brought to you by the Kansas City Royals, the Milwaukee Brewers, the New York Yankees, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Texas Rangers, the letter M, and the number 6. So, with this being the last team on the […]

The Portland Trailblazers - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

When Lamarcus Aldridge left Portland this summer, many people probably dismissed the entire Trailblazers team for fantasy purposes.  That would be a mistake.  Although the loss will hurt the actual team, it may be a huge blessing for the remaining players on the team in terms of fantasy value.  Along with Aldridge, they also lose Wes […]

Fantasy Football Stock Up: Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, DeMarco Murray, Allen Robinson

Matthew Stafford – QB, Detroit Lions He's alive? I mean, okay it was against the Chicago Bears, but all the same it has to be heartwarming to see that Stafford can still actually make the throws. He completed 27 of 42 attempts for 405 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. So this performance was pretty much the […]

Robert Covington (SG/SF, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

During their lengthy and controversial rebuild, the Sixers have been a fantasy goldmine for quick pick-ups of overlooked players. They might not field the best roster, but the Sixers have to give minutes to someone, and minutes often lead to value. Robert Covington might be more than just a quick add, though. His length and […]

Eric Gordon (SG, NO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Despite all the injury woes Gordon's dealt with, he actually played over 60 games in each of the past two seasons.  Although he hasn't topped 20 points per game since the 2011-2012 season, his peak ability has always been there, tempting fantasy owners to draft him.  Past disappointments aside, this may be the year he […]

Ryan Anderson (PF/C, NO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Watch out for Ryan Anderson this year.  He’s had injuries and struggled to start over the past few seasons, but as a PF who has shown he can shoot over 40% from the three-point line on high volume, he is a valuable commodity for any NBA team.  He should especially do well in Alvin Gentry’s […]

Tyson Chandler (C, PHO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Chandler’s reputation has suffered from a down year with the Knicks.  But who can really blame him, really.  The 2013-2014 Knicks were a disaster, and only look respectable in comparison to the absolute catastrophe that was the 2014-2015 season.  Tyson turned it around once he was traded back to Dallas where he won his only […]
