West Ham United Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

Be careful what you wish for!  The EPL has a classic historical example of what can happen if you get ideas above your station and get rid of a successful manager who cannot take supporters to their desired 'next level'. For Alan Curbishley at Charlton Athletic who were relegated and never returned to the top […]

Swansea City Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

Swansea City have been very quiet this post season at a time when perhaps they had every reason to be loud and proud.  We hope that satisfaction with an excellent season last time around doesn't lead to any complacency. In the EPL it is always said that the best time to invest is when you […]

Watford FC Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

Last season saw Watford have four Managers in 37 days and yet promotion from the Championship was still achieved.  It is not necessarily then too much of a surprise to see that they will be starting the new season with another new Manager, this time Quique Flores who won the Europa League with Athletico Madrid. He is, however […]

Top RB Sleepers for PPR Leagues in 2015

Roy Helu - Fantasy Pros ADP RB51 Roy Helu moved to the Raiders this past offseason and will be holding the role of backup behind Latavius Murray, but he is definitely the best receiving back on that team and offers sneaky value. In three full seasons used mostly as a third down back in Washington, Helu […]

Who Will Take Over for Arian Foster in Houston?

Arian Foster's groin injury is going to force him to enter surgery and miss anywhere from 6-8 weeks of the regular season depending on whether the Texan's decide to put him on PUP or IR (as of writing this article, which of the two they'll go with is unclear).

Baltimore Ravens: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Baltimore Ravens are a bit of a strange team to analyze for fantasy purposes this year. This is a team that pretty much has a little bit of everything; a polarizing quarterback in Joe Flacco, a surprising running back from 2014 in Justin Forsett, some turnover at the wide receiver position, and a need […]

Yangervis Solarte (1B / 2B / 3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (Injury Replacement) OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The biggest complaint about the Padres' offseason was that they did nothing to improve a terrible infield, with only second sacker Jedd Gyorko showing any upside of the bunch. Gyorko and the Padres have failed, but Yangervis Solarte has been […]

Randal Grichuk (OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Grichuk homered again on Sunday, giving him a dozen on the year (and 37 extra-base hits in total) in only 243 at-bats. His season line stands at .288/.338/.564, and he’s even chipped in with four steals. He was already getting consistent starts in center […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as Low-End QB1 CURRENT ADP: 84 STD ANALYSIS: The stage is set for Eli Manning to post top-five QB numbers in 2015. Last season, Manning finished in the top 10 among fantasy quarterbacks despite injuries to then-top WR Victor Cruz and big free agent acquisition Geoff Schwartz, among others. Manning owns one of […]

Ameer Abdullah (RB, DET) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Round 7 as RB3 CURRENT ADP: 93 STD, 53 PPR ANALYSIS: The Lions let Reggie Bush walk in free agency after Joique Bell did the heavy duty work and Theo Riddick proved himself just as effective in the passing game. Despite having Bell and Riddick, Detroit used their second round pick on Ameer Abdullah. Abdullah […]

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in deep and AL-Only leagues OWNED: 8% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Hicks finally appears to be figuring things out at the major league level. The young outfielder strung together five straight multi-hit performances last week, hitting 2 HR while managing 7 RBI and seven runs of his own over that span. The streak […]

Eddie Rosario (2B / OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED: 6% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Somewhere lost in the hype of Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano's major league debuts this season has been the success of yet another Twins prospect, Eddie Rosario.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 69% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off a 3-for-5 performance in which he belted (pun intended) his 13th homer of the season, Brandon Belt has proven himself a solid source of production at the 1B position in 2015.

West Bromwich Albion Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

West Bromwich Albion moved quickly last season and the arrival of Tony Pulis secured their future in the EPL, but also started a complete overhaul of the club both on the pitch and behind the scenes. Pulis, who has never been relegated in his managerial career, has cemented his position at the club with the […]

Norwich City Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

Norwich City won promotion through the playoffs and this usually earns you the title of being the favorites for relegation in the following season. Norwich City however has EPL pedigree and were one of the leading lights in the Championship last season under the guidance of Manager Alex Neil.  Neil will not be afraid of […]

Newcastle United Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

Newcastle United were in freefall for much of 2015.  They survived more as a consequence of the lack of quality of the clubs eventually relegated rather than through their own efforts. John Carver was Manager in name only and he never appeared to have the respect of the players. He hardly endeared himself to them either by some […]

Leicester City Fantasy Soccer Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview

Whilst there is no truth to the rumor that Tom Cruise was recruited to Leicester City for the last 10 games of last season, it truly was a Hollywood outcome for Leicester to not only survive, but to do so with room to spare.  Vindication for manager Nigel Pearson, who of course in typical EPL […]
