Late-Round Fantasy Baseball Third Base Targets - NFBC Draft and Hold Leagues

Lockout or not, fantasy baseball drafts have been taking place on several platforms. Sure, we do not know if or when the MLB season will start, but that will not stop us die-hard fantasy players. Some players have been researching for a few months, while some players are just now getting their first looks at […]

Matt Shoemaker Close To Deal With Yomiuri Giants

According to Sports Hochi, former Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker is nearing a deal with the Yomiuri Giants of NPB. Shoemaker pitched for the Twins in 2021, where he compiled a dismal 8.06 ERA with 40 strikeouts across 60 1/3 innings pitched. He spent parts of nine seasons in the big leagues with the […]

Duncan Robinson (SG/SF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of leagues ANALYSIS: Five games. That's the count. That's the count of matches D-Rob hasn't started (while he played, I mean) for the Heat this season, and it only happened in a 10-day span in which he was coming off a week-long absence. Robinson is […]

Kevin Huerter (SG, ATL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Huerter missed ample time from Dec. 17 to Jan. 3 but once he was back for good he's not surrendered the starting gig more than two games in a row--and that happened all the way back before mid-January. It's now been […]

Nicolas Batum (SG/SF, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone past his peak, Nicolas Batum keeps racking up starts on a nightly basis in this barren Clips squad. The Clippers might opt to make some moves and sell the house come trade-deadline day, and we'll see how that goes, but […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a month of play in which Chuma Okeke started 10 of 12 games (from mid-December to mid-January), the Magic sent Okeke back to the pine and trusted him to man a second-unit leading role. So far, so good for the second-year […]

Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you go check Gary Harris' fantasy profile you're going to think he's been a rather putrid option all season long. Makes sense on an FP/min basis considering Harris started every game (29 of them) from Nov. 20 to Jan. 26 while […]

Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Luke Kennard's last couple of games through Friday were not his best of the year, that's for sure. He could only play 16 minutes to close January in a game in which he finished 2-1-2 shooting 14% from the floor, and although […]

Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another set of starts for the Warriors center given the inexistent depth of the team at the big-man position. Seriously. With Draymond Green expected to miss three or four more weeks and James Wiseman not even on the radar, it's […]

Javonte Green (PG/SG/SF, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Coby White and Zach LaVine are day-to-day casualties as I'm writing this on Saturday. Not that this is the main reason for Javonte Green to become an important part of the Bulls lineup, though, as Green has started the last 18 games […]

P.J. Tucker (SF/PF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't even know how I landed on P.J. Tucker, but here we are now I guess... Tuck Tuck is most definitively a winning asset to have around in an NBA squad. Now, in a fantasy team? That's more of a question […]

Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ayo! It's now been 12 starts in a row for the Rookie of the Year! Let's go! Ayo Dosunmu came absolutely out of left field just by virtue of pure necessity, and oh boy is he thriving while manning the point for […]

Kurt Busch Struggles Saturday Night At Coliseum

Kurt Busch and his car just did not have it on Saturday night. He qualified 32nd out of 36 cars. The new No. 45 car for 23XI Racing just did not seem to have the same speed it did during the day. Something was off as Busch lost speed in each sector during his 14.437 […]

Kevin Harvick Drops To 23rd During Qualifying

Kevin Harvick looked great during practice and had the second fastest lap among all drivers. He was two thousandths of a second behind Chase Elliott. Some of his runs rivaled Elliott even. Then, the qualifying run happened and the speed was not there for the No. 4 car. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver almost had to […]

Denny Hamlin Has Slower Than Expected Qualifying Run

Denny Hamlin has had an interesting week in Los Angeles. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has kissed a wall or two and only qualified 17th on Saturday. He did look better in practice runs where he raced 102 laps in all. His best lap there was good enough for tenth spot. The faster conditions earlier […]

Christopher Bell OK In Qualifying On Saturday At Coliseum

Christopher Bell did not have the best or worst of runs on Saturday night as he qualified 15th for Joe Gibbs Racing. Again, he was a couple of mph's faster in practice topping out just over 66 mph. Bell seems to have the car to make a run during the main event but it is […]

Bubba Wallace Has Somewhat Troubling Run At Coliseum

Bubba Wallace had a better qualifying session on Saturday night and wound up 18th. However, the 23Xi Racing team is not having the best start to the season in Los Angeles. Kurt Busch was 32nd fastest on Saturday night and both cars looked slow in the qualifying session. Wallace's car may be more concerning because […]

Martin Truex Jr. Continues Troubling Week At Coliseum

Martin Truex Jr. has not had the best of weeks in Los Angeles. The Coliseum track just does not seem to suit him well. Given his history on short tracks, one would think the No. 19 car would be much closer to the top. That has not been the case. He qualified a mere 30th […]

Alex Bowman Starts Fourth In Heat 2 On Sunday At Coliseum

Alex Bowman qualified 14th on Saturday night and will be in the fourth position when Heat 2 gets underway Sunday afternoon. The No. 48 car had some nice moments in practice too but was a hair off from the top cars during that faster session. His runs were not quite as good as the top […]

Ryan Blaney Hangs Around 14 Seconds On Saturday

It did not seem that Ryan Blaney overdid it on Saturday in qualifying. He qualified 13th with a time of 14.002 seconds but looked like there was a bit more speed in the Team Penske Ford. The No, 12 car easily ran in the top-ten during practice and appeared to be one of the fastest […]

Michael McDowell Manages Nice Effort To Qualify 12th Saturday

Michael McDowell put himself in a decent position on Sunday with a 12th-place qualifying result on Saturday. He will be the third car coming out for Heat 4. That will give him the luxury of seeing others on the track and how they handle the 25-lap run. McDowell can be a bit of a risk […]

William Byron Starts In Heat 3 On Sunday At Coliseum

William Byron qualified 11th on Saturday night with a time of 13.973 seconds. He was one of only 12 cars to post a sub-14 second lap in the evening session. The No. 24 Chevy was in the middle of the pack during practice so maybe Byron is figuring out the track a bit better. Again, […]

Harrison Burton Not Far Off From Practice Run At Coliseum

One of the few drivers that was about as fast in qualifying as in practice was Harrison Burton. Burton qualified tenth for the heat races on Sunday with an average speed of 64.447 mph. His practice best was 65.114 mph. Again, there were a few minor bobbles in turns 2 and 4 for Burton. With […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stays Upright During Nice Run Saturday

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. seemed quite fast in practice leading up to Saturday night's qualifying run. That panned out as Stenhouse Jr was ninth with a speed of 64.461 mph. If not for a late bobble, he may have qualified in the top-five. It is tough to pick these things out in a 14-second lap (give […]

Kyle Larson Tuning Up For Event At Coliseum On Sunday

Kyle Larson automatically qualified for the main event on Sunday in Los Angeles. This is because he won the title last season (most points). However, his No. 5 car looked pretty quick and he finished eighth in qualifying Saturday night. The Team Hendrick Motorsports car was seventh fastest in practice just 0.058 seconds off from […]

Chase Elliott Looks Strong In Advance of Sunday's Race

Chase Elliott qualified in seventh on Saturday night, just a few mph's slower than his practice session. That practice saw the No. 9 car at the top of the field. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has little to worry about in qualifying for the 23-driver main event. Elliott's runs in his 103 laps of practice […]

Cole Custer Finishes Well With Nice Qualifying Lap Saturday

Cole Custer will start from the second position in Heat 2 on Sunday afternoon from the Coliseum. Custer and his No. 41 Ford nearly edged out Daniel Suarez for 5th by the length of a credit card. Custer qualified sixth overall with an average lap speed of 64.502 mph. A strange quirk is that Suarez […]

Daniel Suarez Turns In Very Good Qualifying Lap Saturday

Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing looked quite good on Saturday evening. Suarez qualified fifth just thousandths of a second behind Joey Logano for a top heat spot. The No. 99 car went around the track at a best speed of 64.507 mph. Suarez did run a lot of practice laps (106 in all). It seemed […]
