Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Wide Receiver

The wide receiver position was probably the most exciting position of the 2019 fantasy football seasons, with so many different breakouts and busts. We saw stud wide receivers like Odell Beckham and JuJu Smith-Schuster become extremely hard to trust and frustrating to own. We also saw a handful of rookie wide receivers out-perform their pre-season […]

Sophomore Players Due for Regression in 2020

The 2019 season saw a significant number of rookie hitters debut with great success. But Major League Baseball’s history is littered with strong freshman debuts followed by disappointing sophomore campaigns.

Malcolm Brogdon Continues To Struggle From The Field

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon racked up 14 points, six rebounds, three assists and one block in Monday's loss to Dallas, but he did it with some very inefficient shooting, going 6-for-17 from the field and 2-for-7 from three-point range.

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball: Lineup Spot

You may be wondering why there aren't any advanced stats aimed at predicting a player's counting stats like runs and RBI. The answer is simple: modern sabermetrics reject the idea of a "clutch RBI guy" and therefore do not bother inventing predictive metrics for it. Runs and RBI are team-dependent stats and are unhelpful in ascertaining […]

Bradley Beal Continues Scoring Excellence With 43-Point Outing

It appears that keeping Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Bradley Beal off of the All-Star roster lit a fire under him that has unleashed a scoring barrage on the rest of the league.
