Joc Pederson Sitting Against Cincinnati

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson is on the bench for Sunday's game at Cincinnati with left-hander Wade Miley on the mound. Jake Marisnick, who is in center field and hitting seventh, is only an option in very deep and NL-only leagues, considering his .231 batting average and .746 OPS this year. Pederson has been a […]

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman did everything he could against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. He went 3-for-3 and collected two walks as well during the 3-2 loss to Miami.

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure?

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 2-for-5 in the Twins 6-3 loss to the Royals on Saturday. Polanco had been just 3-for-19 (.158) over his last five games coming into Saturday, so his two-hit game on Saturday was a welcome sight for fantasy managers.
