Kyle Hendricks (SP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Just in case you hadn't noticed, Kyle Hendricks has been pitching extremely well for the Cubs - essentially since being called up to the majors - and is now making an appearance on our waiver wire pickups and sleepers list. Given that he's still only 43% owned in Yahoo leagues, it is […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~125  (Current ADP: 136, RB: 45) ANALYSIS:  Last season Andre Williams lead all of college football with over 2,000 yards rushing making him the 16th player to achieve this accomplishment in NCAA history.  As we all know college football success does not always translate to the NFL but it is a nice appetizer. […]

Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target as your QB1 (Current ADP: QB 15) ANALYSIS: When you hear the stories from so called experts talking about how they never draft a quarterback early, it all boils down to who you can trust in the later rounds of fantasy football drafts. When playing in leagues of 12 teams or less, unless […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 8/26

Today's DFS picks are based upon FanDuel’s dollar values and they won’t necessarily be the best plays in other formats. Additionally, there's been a lot of weather activity affecting games lately, so check the rain report before committing to a lineup. You definitely don't want a starting pitcher who is at risk of having his start cut short […]

5 Fantasy Baseball Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

Here are five outfield sleepers to consider adding off of the waiver wire in fantasy baseball leagues. This week's list features two sleeper outfielders in each league, as well as the race to add Rusney Castillo. I believe these players are undervalued and capable of providing a valuable boost as the season winds down.   […]

Deeper League Catchers: Waiver Wire Options for Week 22

Four Catcher Sleepers for the Final Push We're coming down the stretch, and this may be the final battle before the playoffs for all you H2H fantasy managers.

Potential Stud Fantasy Offenses: Offensive Line Analysis of AFC North

This post originally appeared on Rotoback. The offensive line is one of the most important facets of football, and yet it's usually not accounted for when people talk about fantasy outcomes.

Brock Holt (OF / SS / 3B, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite his impressive play through 94 games, the Red Sox have struggled to find Holt a steady position.

With such a high emphasis on the passing game in today’s NFL, you can pretty much find a potential fantasy sleeper on nearly every NFL roster.

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 8/25

There are ten games this evening with a wide-open pitching field and some juicy stacks against vulnerable pitchers, so I'm going to suggest a few stacks to consider in addition to my typical position-by-position recommendations. With no extremely pricey pitchers on the slate today, everyone will have some extra bucks to build an offense. I will […]

Well Mr. Burns had done it/The power plant had won it/With Roger Clemens clucking all the while/Mike Scioscia’s tragic illness made us smile/While Wade Boggs laid unconscious on the barroom tile/We’re talking softball A friend of mine posted those beautiful lyrics on social media last week, and I knew it could only mean one thing: The Simpson’s marathon […]

Overvalued Wide Receivers for 2014 Fantasy Football Drafts

Identifying the risers/fallers, worthwhile rookies, sleepers and potential busts are all key components for your draft strategy. Evaluating a player’s average draft position (ADP) involves comparing that player to the other options being selected around him. The players listed below aren’t guys I would suggest avoiding altogether necessarily; rather, I'd pass on them where they […]

Dan Bailey (K, DAL)

BALLER MOVE: Grab in Late Rounds of Deep Leagues For Week 1 Start ANALYSIS: One thing we absolutely love at RotoBaller are kickers who play half their games in dome stadiums, and Mr. Dan Bailey is at the top of the list for week 1 kickers who are poised to put up some points. Hosting the San […]

Avisail Garcia (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Garcia's return this year came as a bit of a surprise, just five months after tearing the labrum in his left shoulder diving for a ball in the outfield. The White Sox may be a longshot for the postseason, but that doesn't take anything away from […]

2014 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 60 Wide Receivers

While we've already published our Top 60 Wide Receivers in three separate tiers, we thought it was time to update these rankings just a little bit, especially considering all the news out of preseason and the number of position battles we're seeing among wide receivers.  This is not a knee-jerk overreaction based on preseason performances, just some basic accounting […]

Eye on the Minors: Prospects, Rookies and September Call-ups

  MLB Prospects & Call-Ups This week, I took to the phones and email to try to get a scoop on which prospects will get called up when rosters expand to 40 players on September 1. I put in some work trying to track down information on rookies and sleepers from all 30 major league teams, and though the […]

Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues (14+ Teams) ANALYSIS: At this point in the season, if you are in a mixed league and looking to turn to Jonathan Schoop as the savior of your MI slot (or even worse, 2B slot), then you are probably the captain of a sinking ship, or just fighting […]

Travis d'Arnaud (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues / Two-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: When the Mets traded reigning Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey before the 2013 season, they expected a little more from top propsect Travis d'Arnaud than they have gotten thus far. In 385 at-bats over the past two seasons, d'Arnaud owns just a […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~80  (Current ADP: 98, QB: 14) ANALYSIS:  For those of you who are seeking a sleeper QB option look no further than Jay Cutler. While Cutler has some risk with his injury history (his last full season was 2009), he does come with some upside. Chicago Bears new head coach and offensive minded […]

Danny Amendola (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: ~115 (ADP135,WR55) ANALYSIS: Speaking of guys who get injured pretty frequently, have you met Danny Amendola? He's only played in 16 games once in his five year career - the highest he has ever finished at the wide receiver position is being the 47th best in the fantasy game. Yikes. So why am […]
