A.J. Pollock (OF, LAD) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~ 280 CURRENT ADP: ~323 overall ANALYSIS: A.J. Pollock has typically been very productive when on the field but has always had a very hard time staying healthy.

Detroit Lions 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Detroit Lions are the definition of mediocre in the NFL. Look no further than a string of average records in each of the past eight seasons (sans 2014). The Lions finished at the bottom of the NFC North in 2019, going 3-12. It’s no surprise that coach Matt Patricia has his job on the […]

Anthony Santander (OF, BAL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~ 300 CURRENT ADP: ~340 overall ANALYSIS: Last year, Anthony Santander received his first extended stint with the Orioles, and he did not disappoint.

Domingo Santana (OF, Cle) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper
