Full Story »Philadephia Eagles: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook
The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2014 NFL season as a very interesting team from a fantasy perspective. There are questions that need to be asked--can the NFL teams catch up to Chip Kelly's offense having seen it for a full season?

Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Buy Low / Sell High: Hitters Week 17
We are now entering the post-All Star Game portion of the fantasy season. My biggest takeaway from the game itself was how bad Yasiel Puig choked in not JUST the game, but the Home Run Derby, too. Poor guy. We should all know by now whether our teams need true adjustment or if it'll be […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: With the recent news that Zach Putnam has been placed on the DL earlier today, some more clarity has has been shed onto the White Sox bullpen situation.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Once considered a big time prospect within the Cardinals organization, Colby Rasmus had his best year in 2010 when he hit .276, with 23 HRS, 85 runs scored, 66 RBIs, and 12 steals. That's very solid production. Unfortunately, his numbers have not come close to that since. This year […]
Full Story »Wily Peralta (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues; Scout in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: Wily Peralta is someone I've heard about from the fantasy community on and off all year, and with good reason. He has had many starts where he has given up 3 runs or less, but he also had a run of starts where he gave […]
Full Story »Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 17 (Part 2)
Tampa Rays manager Joe Maddon has never been one to follow conventional thinking. The Rays, winners of their last seven, just completed a two-game sweep of the Cardinals in St. Louis, and Maddon’s starting lineups for the series had his starting pitchers hitting eighth followed by Kevin Kiermaier in the nine-hole. What’s funny about Maddon’s lineup choices […]
Full Story »Trending Up & Trending Down: Week 17 Report
Fantasy Baseball Trends For Week 17 I'd like to begin this week's report by doing somewhat of a follow up to my article from two weeks ago. I really still like Hughes's K/BB ratios, but it's hard to ignore his current results. I've dropped him until he shows signs of improvement, and recommend you […]

Full Story »Eric Decker (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target ~70-75th overall (Current ADP: 91) ANALYSIS: Eric Decker's move from Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos to Geno Smith's New York Jets has caused his stock to drop heavily amongst most drafters. It's notable that even after a huge breakout year with Peyton Manning in 2012 which saw him finish at WR9, in 2013 Decker […]
Full Story »Jarred Cosart (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Super Deep Leagues; Continue Scouting in Most ANALYSIS: Jarred Cosart is one of my favorite up-and-coming young pitchers in the game.

Full Story »Tanner Roark (SP, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: The fact that Tanner Roark is only 61 % owned is downright criminal. Sure he had back to back hiccups on June 27th and July 4th, where he gave up 4 runs to the light hitting Cubs, but otherwise he has been an ERA and WHIP saint. On […]
