Frankie Montas (SP, OAK) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 135 CURRENT ADP: ~151 overall ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers may be hesitant to draft Montas after looking at his 2020 line of a 5.60 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP, but you have to keep in mind that the guy just was not healthy last year. Pair that up with him […]

We have seen Dustin Johnson trending in the right direction at TPC Sawgrass over the last few years, posting finishes of fifth, 17th, 12th and 28th in his previous four go-arounds.

Rory McIlroy Looks To Win Again At TPC Sawgrass

Zack Greinke (SP, HOU) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 90 CURRENT ADP: ~106 overall ANALYSIS: Greinke is once again going pretty late with an ADP of above 100.
