Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/14
Gibson has been starting recently for the struggling and fantasy-performance-declining Nikola Mirotic. Simple enough, Gibson can do just what he needs to do for his price to make daily fantasy owners happy. He's more than capable of scoring in double digits or grabbing double digit rebounds. The Philadelphia 76ers let up 36 rebounds a game, […]

New Orleans is one of my favorite vacation spots. Unfortunately, I have fun picking on their basketball team as well. It's hard not to. Same with the Houston Rockets.

There are only four games on Sunday to choose from. In the lineup below, you'll see a more well-rounded team, focused more so on players in the 7,000-8,000 range. I've tried, very hard, to stay away from the 9,000-10,000 guys, to free up cap space, and fill my lineup with at least four or five […]
Demetri 9 years agoFantasy Stock Up: Brandon Coleman, Marques Colston
With Brandin Cooks likely to miss Sunday's action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Willie Snead limited in practice Thursday, nursing a calf injury, two wide receivers can step up and aid Drew Brees in once again lighting up the scoreboard. This all depends on the health of Snead. If Snead plays, he will be […]

The Minnesota Vikings enter Thursday night's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals tied for first place in the NFC North. The Vikings are looking to win their first division title since 2009 but do they have enough weapons, on the field and in fantasy lineups, to sustain production? Teddy Bridgewater is not start-able.

I apologize in advance to the Sacramento Kings. I'll be picking on them more than any other team in this lineup, but maybe I'm just following suit of every other offense they've faced this season.
