Introducing xPA to Project Plate Appearances

I like big rates and I cannot lie. You other readers can't deny. When a rate walks in with an itty PA and an integer in my face, I get sprung...Whoa! Wait just one second, Sir-Mix-A-Nick. Before I go full-Rhymenoceros on everyone, maybe we oughta back the track up a little bit. What I like […]

Caleb Martin Wants to Focus More Energy on Defense

Charlotte Hornets forward Caleb Martin says that he wants to focus more of his energy on the defensive side of the ball.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson (knee) has not fully recovered yet, according to Mychal Thompson. Before the league was suspended Thompson was cleared for light shooting drills.

The New Orleans Saints re-signed Taysom Hill to a two-year contract extension worth $21 million, including $16 million guaranteed at the time of signing.

The New England Patriots addressed multiple areas during the 2020 NFL Draft, but one of the biggest holes on the team wasn't improved at all.

They Took Who??? Confusing NFL Draft Picks

Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]

Which Rookie Quarterbacks Can Turn Their Franchises Around?

On April 23, 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals made Joe Burrow the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft and the new franchise quarterback in the Queen City. Burrow has been touted as a slam dunk pick and will surely unseat Andy Dalton as the starter, but through the first two days of the draft, […]

Three Shortstops Set To Bust In 2020

Shortstop is a fairly deep fantasy position, with fifteen shortstops going before the 150th pick on average and plenty of value to be found even later in drafts. The top-end of the shortstop group is particularly strong, with three shortstops owning top-10 ADPs. No other infield position group has had as many different players drafted […]

Deeper Draft Sleepers - NL Outfielders

We’re confident there will be a 2020 baseball season, but the game might look a little different. For instance, we may not see a 162 game season and the first several weeks may be played in empty baseball stadiums. The game may also feature a universal designated hitter. In attempting to identify deep outfield NL […]

Kevin Davidson Signing With Browns

Former Princeton quarterback Kevin Davidson is signing with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent, according to a source.

While the Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly tried to trade running back Leonard Fournette during the NFL Draft, no deal materialized, and general manager Dave Caldwell says that Fournette remains the starter.

Giants Make Tae Crowder This Year's Mr. Irrelevant

The New York Giants used the 255th and final pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on Georgia linebacker Tae Crowder. Mr. Irrelevant is a great athlete who will be a backup while the Giants attempt to harness his pure athleticism. He needs help in coverage and struggles to shed blocks in the run game, so […]

The Denver Broncos used the second-to-last pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on North Dakota State edge rusher Derrek Tuszka. Tuszka is a skilled pass rusher who can provide depth and learn how to get to the quarterback from Von Miller. He is a high-caliber athlete who can grow into an NFL role if he […]

The Minnesota Vikings used their last pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on offensive guard Kyle Hinton out of Washburn.
