DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/9/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome to the first Saturday of the 2016 Major League Baseball playoffs. We get a special treat with three games thanks to the Dodgers-Nationals rainout, giving us a bit more flexibility in our lineups.

Reviewing Tony Peters' Bold Predictions for 2016

After opening up the season with a list of 10 bold predictions, I have face to facts, look myself in the mirror and deal with the aftermath of my thoughts. How off-the-wall or on-the-mark was I? Well, spoiler-alert, a little spotty outside of Mariners-related picks. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS […]

Reviewing Jeff Kahntroff's Bold Predictions for 2016

Back in March, RotoBaller staff writers (including yours truly) published a series of bold predictions for the 2016 fantasy baseball season.

Reviewing Edward Sutelan's Bold Predictions for 2016

Before this season, I made a couple of bold predictions about the upcoming season. There were some hits . . . and then there were some misses. Overall, I feel that people who read my article seeking fantasy advice were probably not too let down by my predictions (unless you bought into A.J. Reed). I look […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/7/16): MLB DFS Advice

As a Mets fan, I was a little bummed out by how the season ended, but that can be expected when dealing with multiple key injuries. On a different note, props have to be sent to Madison Bumgarner, who continues to prove that he's one of the best playoff pitchers in the MLB. In this […]

Champ or Chump: How'd I Do?

The point of Champ or Chump is to use every metric imaginable to try to predict how a player will perform in the future. It's not always right, as true talent levels change while luck plays a role in every play's individual outcome. Historically, I conclude the analysis based on what I see as the […]

Lessons Learned From Our Deeper Waiver Wire Adds (American League)

With the season wrapping up this weekend, I wanted to take a moment in this final entry in the column this year to reflect on the 2016 fantasy season in terms of deep AL-only cuts. Quite a few fantasy relevant players made their way into this column this season, including more than a handful that transformed […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Salt River Rafters

The Salt River Rafters are filled to the brim with batting prospects worth watching. Likewise, they lack any rotation worth noting. They are similar to the Surprise Saguaros in nature without the obvious ace in Michael Kopech. The thing that sticks out the most about the Rafters is that two of the four players to watch […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Surprise Saguaros

Though Yoan Moncada is without a doubt the best player in the league, I have to question the quality of the Surprise Saguaros rotation and bullpen. Past Mat Kopech, there isn't anything worth noting long term as viable big league options. The Surprise Saguaros, however, may be the most fun team to watch. What they lack […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Tillman, Hanley, and Gary Sanchez

As we head toward the season's final week, chances are your fantasy fate has been decided. Even if it hasn't, adding players for this year only holds so much potential value. Your process may be flawless, but the tiny sample size remaining can ruin the best laid plans. My favorite story to that effect is from […]
