John Brown (WR, ARI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: 147 STD, 103 PPR ANALYSIS: With a potentially healthy Carson Palmer, the Cardinals could back on track in 2015, and second-year wide receiver John Brown could be a major beneficiary of Arizona's pass-happy offense. He finished in the top 10 in several major rookie receiving stats last year, […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: 181 STD, 162 PPR ANALYSIS: With Reggie Wayne out of town, the Colts' offense, which led the league in passing in 2014, will run through the hands of T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief. With only 32 targets last year, Moncrief ranked third among rookies in WR rating. Given that he […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: 129 STD, 100 PPR ANALYSIS: With only 38 targets, Davante Adams received less attention than many first year wideouts in 2014, but a few key aspects make him stand out heading into 2015. First and foremost, he has Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball. Despite being third on the […]

Philadelphia Eagles: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Philadelphia Eagles over the course of the last two seasons it’s that Head Coach Chip Kelly is a wild man. In just two seasons in Philly, Kelly has managed to completely overhaul the offense to his liking, seemingly shipping off veterans at will. Under normal circumstances, this […]

2015 Tiered Dynasty Rankings: Tight Ends (TE), Tiers 3 and 4

Today we’re looking at tiers one and two of our tight end dynasty / keeper rankings. This position typically has the largest difference in value between PPR and non-PPR formats, and the rankings here reflect my combined analysis for both formats. I will only be giving my top 25 tight ends, as it gets pretty […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/9/15

I have a lack of entertainment in my intro today. Maybe I'll make up for it tomorrow, we'll see. For all of you that are still standing in the FanDuel free entry Survivor tournament (which hopefully is none of you since I'm giving away all of my thoughts), best of luck. Three more rounds until […]

deGrom Throws 8 Scoreless In Win Over Giants

Jacob deGrom dominated the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday by pitching eight shutout innings en route to the New York Mets victory. Eric Campbell drilled a two-run homerun in the top of the ninth inning, which made the score 4-0 in favor of the Mets. New York Manager Terry Collins still decided to not give […]

Josh Harrison Out 7 Weeks After Thumb Surgery

John Harrison will miss up to seven weeks after the Pittsburgh Pirates utility underwent surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb, according to the Post-Gazette. The 28-year-old was placed on the DL Monday because of the injury he suffered on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians. Harrison’s return won’t come until […]

Jesse Hahn Won't Pitch Until Saturday: 'Slight' Discomfort In Pitching Elbow

Jesse Hahn’s next start has been pushed back to Saturday against the Cleveland Indians, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The Oakland A’s pitcher has been dealing with discomfort in his right elbow. The right-hander’s discomfort is “slight,” according to the Chronicle, so his Friday start will be pushed back one day. The A’s must […]

Bryant, Rizzo, Frazier, Pederson Make Up NL For Home Run Derby

The National League representatives in the 2015 Home Run Derby will be Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Todd Frazier and Joc Pederson.

Pujols, Machado, Donaldson And Fielder Make Up AL Sluggers For Home Run Derby

The American League representatives in Monday’s MLB Home Run Derby will be Manny Machado, Josh Donaldson, Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols.

Luis Valbuena (3B / 2B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Valbuena is nursing a sprained big toe, but that doesn’t appear to be negatively impacting him at the plate. June was actually his best month of the year, as he compiled an .883 OPS with nine homers and 32 R+RBI. Valbuena continues to be […]

Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bour homered in four consecutive games last week, giving him 10 on the year. That tends to draw the attention of fantasy owners, but he’s still free in nine out of every 10 leagues. Michael Morse is nearly recovered from his back injury, but […]

Aramis Ramirez (3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s been a difficult season for Ramirez, who has looked every bit his 37 years of age more often than not. Over the last month, however, he’s hitting .304/.343/.533 with four homers and 23 RBI. He’s reportedly drawing some trade interest, which could lead […]

Logan Forsythe (1B / 2B / 3B, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Forsythe has been a pleasant surprise for the Rays and for fantasy owners this year, making solid contributions across the board. For the season, he’s slashing .281/.365/.425 with eight homers and seven stolen bases. In addition to his current positional eligibility at first and […]

Miguel Sano (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sano has hit safely in every game since his promotion and went yard for the first time last night. The 22 year old has been thrust right into the middle of the Twins’ lineup and, to his credit, hasn’t looked overmatched. He’ll get plenty of […]

Kevin White (WR, CHI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~60 Overall in Standard Leagues, Top Five in Dynasty Leagues CURRENT ADP: 88 STD, 83 PPR ANALYSIS: The combination of his ability to make spectacular catches and his football IQ makes rookie Kevin White a feared player right away, but he still has a lot of room to grow. New Bears head coach John […]

Yankees Activate Closer Andrew Miller: Will He Close Games Again?

The New York Yankees have activated Andrew Miller from the DL after almost missing a month of action, according to the New York Daily News. The Yankees closer could potentially move back to that role, but Dellin Betances has done fine in the role until a blown-save on Saturday. Andrew Miller will be activated Wednesday. […]

Depth Chart Battles: Falcons Running Backs Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman

When the Atlanta Falcons selected Tevin Coleman out of Indiana in the third round, the assumption was that he would automatically become the starting running back. Considering how bleak Atlanta's ground game has been over the last few years, that's a fair assumption to make.  That being said, completely writing off Devonta Freeman after just one year […]

Blues Re-Sign Superstar Tarasenko on Eight-Year, $60M Extension

On Tuesday, it was reported by the St. Louis Blue’s official website that the team has resigned emerging superstar Vladimir Tarasenko to an eight-year, $60M contract extension. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said in a statement, on the Tarasenko extension, “We are not going to be active signing other players until we get him taken […]

Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 14

The last few weeks have seen some high attrition to fantasy rosters, as several stars have landed on the disabled list. Chief among those at the corner infield spots has been Miguel Cabrera, who will miss six weeks with a calf strain. Despite his questionable conditioning, Miggy had gone his entire career without needing a […]

Week 14 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball: All-Star Edition

The All-Star votes are in and the baseball world is baffled. Luckily, most of those undeserving Royals were voted off the island in the final days, leaving mostly competent players on the starting AL squad. Still, no matter how you look at it, the results of the final All-Star teams (reserves included) do not line […]

2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper: Wide Receiver Kendall Wright

Last year I wrote about Kendall Wright as a wide receiver likely to see an increase in touchdowns following a 94 catch season with just two scores. He ended up having a more than respectable six touchdowns on 57 catches. Unfortunately the touchdown increase was just about the only improvement in Wright’s numbers last years.  […]
