Travis d'Arnaud (C, NYM) - Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target as Low-End #1 Catcher ANALYSIS: The rigors of the catcher position mean that catchers typically don’t offer the same five-category upside as other positions, but recently, the number of deserving backstops has increased.

Travis d'Arnaud: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Sleepers

  Travis d'Arnaud: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper As a general rule, I don't invest much in catchers. The rigors of the position mean that, with rare exceptions, catchers don't play as much, hit as well, or offer the same five category upside as other positions. However, in recent years, the number of rosterable backstops has increased. In 2002, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in dynasty & keeper leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS:  It was very clear in week 16 that the San Francisco 49ers planned to feature rookie Bruce Ellington.  Sadly Ellington sustained a hamstring injury in the 3rd quarter and wasn't seen the rest of the game.  However in the time we […]

Marquess Wilson (WR, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep PPR leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: With the loss of WR Brandon Marshall to injury, Marquess Wilson has been given an opportunity to start the past two weeks opposite of Alshon Jeffery.  During that time Wilson has averaged 7.5 targets, 5 catches, 41 yards, & .5 TDs.  Last […]
