I am an Oregon State alum with a B.S. in Psychology. I am a 10-year fantasy sports veteran mainly focused on baseball and football. Best ball is my format of choice as my busy schedule makes it the best format for me. I also have experience as a baseball coach at the college level. Furthermore, I am a San Francisco Giants and Indianapolis Colts fan.

Ian Happ (OF, CHC) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 170 CURRENT ADP: ~190 overall ANALYSIS: Ian Happ finally got his opportunity once the Chicago Cubs traded most of their starting lineup prior to the trade deadline. He did not disappoint down the stretch. In the month of September, Happ produced a 167 wRC+ across 121 plate appearances with eight […]


Frank Schwindel (1B, CHC) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 190 CURRENT ADP: ~226 overall ANALYSIS: During the month of September, Schwindel produced a 160 wRC+ and a 1.2 fWAR across 134 plate appearances. The plate appearances are just as noteworthy as the production. Schwindel, 29, had seen a total of 15 career plate appearances prior to 2021. However, he […]


Strong Septembers to Remember - 2022 Breakout Candidates

One of the most difficult things to do as a fantasy sports contributor is attempting to glean valuable information from small sample sizes. Small sample sizes represent a higher opportunity for variance, which can wreak havoc if not taken seriously or properly accounted for. However, variance isn't all bad and there are certain things to […]


Oneil Cruz - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Oneil Cruz: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

Discovering sleepers is a vital part of the fantasy baseball process. Finding a quality sleeper can often be the difference between a championship team and a bust. One of the more interesting sleeper prospects heading into the 2022 MLB season is Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz. Let's dig in to see if he can be […]


cam akers fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Is Cam Akers Playing This Week? Is Darrell Henderson Jr. Out For The Year?

As we head into Week 18, most leagues have reached their championship. That said, there are several leagues that have late championships or daily fantasy leagues. That means injury news is still extremely important as we approach the conclusion of the regular season. A good example of this is the Los Angeles Rams running back […]


Texans Defense Knocked Around By 49ers

The Houston Texans defense was knocked around by 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance in his second-ever NFL start. They gave up 23 points while only managing one interception and one sack. Running back Elijah Mitchell rushed for 119 yards, and Lance managed a 116 passer rating. It was a rather disappointing showing from a Texans […]


Brandin Cooks Continues Hot Streak

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks continued his hot streak this week against the 49ers. He managed seven catches on 11 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. Cooks has now managed either 100 yards or a touchdown in each of the last three games he has played in. Rookie quarterback Davis Mills has proven […]


Rex Burkhead Fails To Build On Momentum

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead failed to build on his 100-yard performance from last week. He was only able to manage 47 yards rushing on 16 attempts while adding six receptions for 32 yards against the 49ers. All in all, it wasn't a terrible day for Burkhead, considering his solid PPR score. That said, […]


Davis Mills Struggles Against 49ers

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills struggled in Week 17 against the 49ers. Mills managed 163 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. He finished with a mediocre passer rating of 75.4. Mills isn't always going to be able to overcome the ineptitude around him. His offensive line was dominated by the 49ers, and […]


Mike Evans - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Mike Evans Playing This Week? Should I Start Mike Evans In Week 17 If He Plays?

COVID continues to run rampant across the NFL as every team is dealing with issues of this pandemic. However, the change in COVID protocols has allowed vaccinated and unvaccinated players to return to the field in five days instead of ten. This has allowed many players to get placed on the COVID list and be […]


austin ekeler fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Is Austin Ekeler Playing This Week? Fantasy Football COVID Updates for Week 17

COVID and the Omicron variant are rampaging through the NFL. However, the change in COVID protocols over the last few days has allowed players to return from the COVID list much faster than before. The Chargers are among many teams that are likely thankful for the new COVID guidelines. Austin Ekeler was placed on the […]


Dalvin Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Is Dalvin Cook Playing This Week? Fantasy Football COVID Updates for Week 17

COVID has caused a ton of issues across the NFL over the last several weeks. The Minnesota Vikings are not exempt from those issues. Kirk Cousins will miss this week against the Packers due to the pandemic and Dalvin Cook missed last week dealing with COVID as well. With the most critical week of the […]


Texans Defense - Week 17 Fantasy Outlook

The Houston Texans defense is a viable streamer in deeper leagues as we head into Week 17. The Texans have a plus-three turnover differential, which may surprise many considering their lack of talent across the board. They rank sixth in interceptions, 12th in fumbles and ninth in total takeaways. Furthermore, they'll be facing a rookie […]


Brevin Jordan - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie tight end Brevin Jordan was disappointing last week when saw his usual four targets for 56 yards, even though receiver Brandin Cooks missed the game. That said, this week sets up rather well for the Houston passing attack. The 49ers represent the second-ranked run defense, but they also have the 20th-ranked pass […]


Rex Burkhead - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead shocked everyone last week when he topped 100 yards rushing for the first time all season. There were multiple factors that led to the explosion. Fellow running back David Johnson missed the game, allowing Burkhead to receive the vast majority of the touches. Also, Burkhead was facing the worst […]


Davis Mills - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills has been solid since taking over for Tyrod Taylor a few weeks ago. Mills has managed a passer rating of 86.2 in 2021, which puts him between Taylor Heinicke and Baker Mayfield. Furthermore, Mills has produced passer ratings of 93.2, 92.2 and 130.6 over the last three weeks, showcasing […]


Dare Ogunbowale fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Is James Robinson Out For The Year? Is Dare Ogunbowale Worth Picking Up?

Week 16 saw a lot of COVID issues run rampant throughout the NFL. So much so that we sometimes forget that players are going to miss games for an actual injury rather than an illness. James Robinson was carted off the field during the Jaguars' loss to the Jets in Week 16 with a lower […]


Nico Collins Scores A Touchdown In Week 16

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins was disappointing in Week 16 in the surprising win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Collins was elevated to the team's No. 1 receiving role when Brandin Cooks missed the game due to COVID-19. Collins only managed three catches on four targets for 33 yards, but he salvaged his […]


Phillip Dorsett Plays Key Role In Week 16

Houston Texans wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (foot) led the Texans in targets in their Week 16 win over the Chargers despite leaving the game with an injury. Dorsett managed three catches on six targets for 55 yards. Brandin Cooks missed this game due to COVID-19, which opened the door for ancillary wide receivers like Dorsett […]


Brevin Jordan Mediocre In Week 16

Houston Texans rookie tight end Brevin Jordan failed to impress in Week 16. The Texans No. 1 receiving option, wideout Brandin Cooks, missed Sunday's game due to COVID-19, which opened the door for an increase in production for the rest of Houston's pass-catchers. However, Jordan saw his usual four targets, converting all of them for […]


Chris Conley Scores In Week 16

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley reached the end zone in the Texans Week 16 victory over the Chargers. Conley was elevated on the depth chart due to Brandin Cooks missing this game while on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Conley caught all three of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown. Cooks should be able […]


Royce Freeman Sees 12 Carries In Week 16

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman saw 12 carries in the Texans Week 16 win over the Chargers. Unfortunately, he could only turn it into 34 yards rushing. Freeman got a boosted role after David Johnson (quadriceps) was ruled out. The matchup was as good as it gets, and Freeman was incapable of taking advantage. […]


Rex Burkhead Tops 100 Yards In Week 16

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead had a career day in Week 16 in the big upset over the Los Angeles Chargers. Burkhead carried the ball 22 times for 149 yards and two touchdowns. It was the best day Burkhead has produced in a long time. He was able to take advantage of the 31st-ranked […]


Davis Mills Phenomenal In Week 16

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills was very good against the Chargers in Week 16. He completed 21 of his 27 pass attempts for 254 yards and two touchdowns. It was an impressive performance against the 13th-ranked pass defense in DVOA in the Chargers. Mills has shown a modicum of moxy this season and even […]


james conner fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Is James Conner Playing In Week 16? Should I Start Chase Edmonds?

Week 16 marks the semi-finals for a lot of fantasy football playoffs which makes injury news even more prevalent. One of those key injuries this week is the injury to James Conner's heel. Is James Conner play this week? If not, is it Chase Edmonds' time to shine again? This is going to be an […]


Is Jared Goff Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

It's Week 16 and we are heading for the semi-finals of most fantasy football leagues. The playoffs mean that paying attention to injury/COVID news is even more vital to your team's success. An interesting COVID situation is the one regarding Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Goff has been playing extremely well with a 105.1 passer […]


taylor heinicke fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Is Taylor Heinicke Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Injuries and COVID-19 continue to wreak havoc on the NFL schedule. Last week, the game between the Washington Football team and Philadelphia Eagles was moved to Tuesday and still failed to rid itself of COVID. Washington was adversely affected as both of their top quarterbacks were placed on the COVID list, and were forced to […]


Chris Conley - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley will be elevated on the depth chart this week. Conley will be the team's No. 2 receiver with Brandin Cooks expected to miss this game due to COVID-19. It is unlikely Conley is capable of producing much from the No. 2 receiver spot in this lackluster offense. That said, […]


Nico Collins - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins will be the Texans No. 1 receiver this weekend. Brandin Cooks is usually the team's unquestioned target hog, but he will be missing this week due to COVID-19. There is hope that this could be a big day for Collins. Rookie quarterback Davis Mills has proven to be […]


Royce Freeman - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman could see solid work in Week 16 against the Chargers. David Johnson (quadriceps) is questionable for this game. If he's inactive, Freeman would be vaulted into a split workload with Rex Burkhead. The matchup is very good against the 31st-ranked run defense in DVOA in the Chargers. That said, […]
