Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa won the Sporting News AL Rookie of the Year award on Monday. The award is voted on by the current players in the MLB, which showed the great praise Correa already has from his peers.

Gerald Green (SG/SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Although Gerald Green was in a great spot for fantasy players in Phoenix, I think he landed with the perfect team and a better opportunity for playing time in Miami.  On the surface, Green has to compete with Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, and Justise Winslow for time and touches. However, we all know the Heat […]

Robin Lopez (C, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Definitely not the sexiest name in fantasy basketball, but don’t sleep on Robin Lopez as a potential key piece to more than a few winning fantasy rosters this season. Players like Robin Lopez are perfect to round out any roster and add a significant amount of consistency. I expect Robin Lopez to duplicate his 2013-14 […]

Arron Afflalo (SG/SF, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Sasha Vujacic. That’s right, Sasha Vujacic is the only positional competition for Arron Afflalo. Fantasy value is usually based off of two things--talent and opportunity. Fortunately for Arron Afflalo owners, he has both right now. Just in case you forgot, Arron Afflalo averaged 18 pts., 3.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, while shooting 46/42/81 (FG%/3P%/FT%) in his […]

Arian Foster Ruptures Achilles, Owners Scramble For Replacements

Arian Foster owners cringed as they heard the news of Foster blowing his Achilles on a non-contact play. To add insult to injury, the damage came when Foster's Houston Texans were down 44-22 late in a blowout against the Dolphins. Two players on the Texans are worth watching for those looking to replace the stud running […]

Rishard Matthews and Lamar Miller Among Those Revitalized by Miami Coaching Change

When Miami announced that tight end coach Dan Campbell would be taking over coaching duties from Joe Philbin, nobody expected him to have the immediate effect on the offense that he has in just two games. Fantasy owners should take note, as Rishard Matthews and Lamar Miller have benefited from the change, among others. Matthews, […]

Darren McFadden Outshines, Out-Carries Christine Michael

The hype was simply hype, a flush draw that didn’t hit in a hand of Texas Hold ‘Em. Dallas Cowboys running back, Christine Michael, was set to be the lead guy this week against the division rival New York Giants, but it was Darren McFadden who emerged with a bang. McFadden rushed the ball for […]

Charcandrick West Separates Himself from Knile Davis and Others in Kansas City

Jamaal Charles' owners worried for their team when they lost him for the year due to a torn ACL two weeks ago, but they are breathing a little easier if they were lucky enough to snatch up his teammate and emerging fantasy star Charcandrick West as a replacement. West rushed for 110 yards and scored […]

Chris Ivory and Zac Stacy: A Potential Tandem?

When facing the New England Patriots, whether they are undefeated or not, with or without Dion Lewis, and despite Tom Brady looking like he was going to cry every time he watched the game from the bench, star players need to be 100% in order to beat them. It was Jets fans who were left […]

Ryan Tannehill and Dan Campbell: A Match Made in Miami

After a loss to the New York Jets in London, the Miami Dolphins needed a change in the worst way. A team that once looked all but headed for a bid for the number one pick in next year’s draft, has received a makeover at the hands of interim head coach, Dan Campbell. The former […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Alex Smith, Marcus Mariota & Brian Hoyer

Week 7 was the best week for the article yet! All three QBs produced QB1 days with at least 19 fantasy points. It was particularly ugly for Brian Hoyer who had a completion rate below 50% and racked up points after the Texans went down by 41 at halftime. Hey, I don’t care how my […]

Week 7 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Ravens @ Cardinals Players we love: Justin Forsett, RB, Ravens - Forsett has come on strong the last three weeks after I began thinking it's time to give him "one hit wonder" status. The Ravens have had an abysmal start to the season (1-5) but whenever they manage to stay in […]

Torrey Smith: Too Inconsistent to Start

A solid WR2 in every season of his career, this season might be the most frustrating yet for Torrey Smith's fantasy owners. Smith has been disappointing except for two big games in Week 2 and Week 6. His two touchdown catches (75 and 76 yard bombs) account for almost half of Smith's receiving yards. Smith […]

With Vincent Jackson and Louis Murphy Injured, Buccaneers Look Toward Mike Evans and Others

While owners of Vincent Jackson patiently wait for an update on his knee – which he hurt Sunday in Washington – they’ll begin looking elsewhere for help, should the news be bad. In addition to Jackson being injured, Louis Murphy also left the game with a knee injury. While the coaching staff of the Buccaneers […]

Blake Bortles, T.J. Yeldon, and the Jacksonville Jaguars Offense

When it comes to fantasy football, there is only one record that matters; your own, as an owner. Despite a 2-5 start, the Jacksonville Jaguars are a team filled with offensive weapons likely to put up solid and consistent fantasy points each week. It wasn’t their best performance of the season, but the London crowd […]

Cam Newton and Jonathan Stewart Run Over the Eagles, Stay Undefeated at 6-0

The 2015 Carolina Panthers have now broken their record for the best start in franchise history, as they improved to 6-0 with a 27-16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Cam Newton didn’t have the best day through the air, but he used his legs and head to beat the Eagles. Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert, and […]

Todd Gurley and T.J. Yeldon Have Monster Games, Melvin Gordon Is In The Doghouse

There was a trio of running backs in the 2015 NFL Draft that had fans buzzing about their potential all offseason; Melvin Gordon of the San Diego Chargers, T.J. Yeldon of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Todd Gurley of the St. Louis Rams. While two of them had monster games, one of them didn’t even see […]

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski Fire Up the Jets in the Fourth Quarter, Remain Undefeated

For a while there, the New York Jets were holding Rob Gronkowski down and really limiting the Patriots’ star tight end. The Patriots were without their budding running back star in Dion Lewis thanks to an abdomen injury, and so they only suited up two running backs, bulldozer LeGarrette Blount and the new pass catcher […]

Navarro May Return With Jays Next Season

Dioner Navarro said he’s open to returning with the Toronto Blue Jays for the 2016 season. The 31-year-old catcher will be a free agent after this season.

Ryan Tannehill, Lamar Miller Lead the Miami Dolphins to a Rout Over the Houston Texans

You can't get off to a much better start to your time as the interim head coach than Dan Campbell has. In fact, he's making a pretty strong argument for why he should become the Miami Dolphins' full-time coach. In Miami's second victory in a row, which pushed them to 3-3, they absolutely lit up the Houston Texans. […]

Three Interceptions Aside, Matt Cassel Will Start Over Brandon Weeden Moving Forward for Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys made a significant move during their bye week, switching from quarterback Brandon Weeden to Matt Cassel.
