Another relatively calm week in the league's bullpens makes us think we're in for a wild summer coming right up. The trade deadline should be fun, but baseball will definitely continue to be fun up until then as well. This week, a closer came back from an injury, a closer who was back last week […]

Baseball is a funny sport. Some weeks it feels like absolutely everything that can happen happens and other weeks feels like there were barely any games played at all.

Sometimes bullpens feel like a daily frenzy of activity where everything is made up and the points don't matter. Other times, things go as planned and your seventh-inning guy gets the game to the eighth-inning guy, who then gets the game to the closer. The closer earns a save and everyone goes home. This week […]

April's all done, and the second month of the baseball season is off to an interesting start.

It's the first weekend of baseball and fantasy managers are already freaking out (mostly) about their pitching staffs.

It's great to have baseball back, and it […]

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher rebounded fairly well in a Divisional Round game against the San Francisco 49ers. Maher famously got an awful case of the yips in the Wild Card Round, but made both of his field goal tries in the loss. He did miss an extra point try, but it ended up not […]

David A Marcillo 2 years agoCowboys Defense A Solid Option In The Divisional Round
The Dallas Cowboys defense is a solid fantasy option for the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The Cowboys played well defensively in the Wild Card Round against the Tampa Bay Bucs, which was encouraging after they ended the season with a pair of mostly lackluster performances. They'll face a 49ers team that is certainly clicking […]

David A Marcillo 2 years agoTony Pollard A Tough Call In The Divisional Round
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard makes for a tough call for fantasy managers in the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers.
