It’s the second to last week of the regular season, so time is winding down to get in your last fix of MLB DFS. Because I’m assuming you all know the deal about how I make my decisions, I’m going to keep my articles relatively short and to the point from here on out. If […]

Sorry I missed you on Thursday, but here we are on Friday, September 18th, and we only have two more regular season Fridays after this. Wow this season flew by. Anyways, it looks like we’re going to be paying up for pitching tonight. Some studs have good matchups, and there are four pitchers priced at […]

Well, the aces were postponed yesterday, so if you were already invested in a tournament, you were likely making last-minute changes and thinking to yourself, “How come I have so much money left over?” That one be the case tonight. We will likely lose Jake Arrieta’s start this time around because of the early double-header […]

Players beware: It’s Thursday, September 10th. It’s the first official night of the NFL season. At this point in time, all of the “amateurs” that you’ve been looking to take advantage of in head-to-head, 50/50, and tournament games are no longer. They have moved onto bigger things (NFL DFS). So, I’m not saying don’t play […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoLeGarrette Blount: Undervalued RB to Target in 2015
LeGarrette Blount was a force to be reckoned with at the end of last season. In a year in which Bill Belichick used everything that moved for his running back job, Blount came out of nowhere (the waivers) to lead the Pats’ rushing attack into the playoffs and beyond. Despite scoring just three times in five games […]

BALLER MOVE: Draft In Later Rounds CURRENT ADP: Overall #136/ TE #26 ANALYSIS: Austin Sefarian-Jenkins has an even lower ADP than someone like Kyle Rudolph, but he has just as good of a chance to make an impact in 2015. Entering his sophomore season in the NFL, ASJ looks to be more of a cog […]

No worries, folks, the five-game slate yesterday is no match for tonight’s 14-game slate. The contests on Friday, September 4th give us many more pitching options, far more hitters to choose from, and bigger contests to win. I’ll get back to my regular format today, so be sure to use this advice to aid what […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoKyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around Round 10 CURRENT ADP: Overall #114/ TE# 11 ANALYSIS: While Olsen is someone to target early in your drafts, Rudolph can be picked up in the later rounds. Kyle Rudolph has always had immense potential as a big, athletic pass catcher with the Vikings. He has yet to put everything together, mostly […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoGreg Olsen (TE, CAR) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft Early Fourth/Late Third CURRENT ADP: Overall #47/ TE #3 ANALYSIS: Greg Olsen wasn’t on this list a couple week ago, but with the news that Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in practice, Olsen is someone we have to address. I had been teetering back and forth between Olsen (ADP of 47 in standard leagues […]

It’s officially September, and the playoff race is on. Rosters have expanded, meaning there will be more lineup variation than ever. With that in mind, be sure to check lineups daily before starting times to ensure that your players are in the lineup. FanDuel does a pretty good job of displaying that for you, but […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoThree Undervalued Tight Ends to Target in 2015 Drafts
While the tight end position is not the most studied and thought out of the offensive positions (in fact, it might be last), an undervalued tight end taken at the right time can really boost a fantasy team. For that reason, I’ve outlined three tight ends below that, if taken at the right point in […]

We certainly had some duds yesterday. The Blue Jays, Angels, Dodgers, and Pirates all disappointed in the runs category. However, our pitching was pretty good overall, so hopefully you had that one key batter that pushed you into cashing territory. It was the most exciting day of baseball, but if it was a successful one, […]

Well, I knew it was coming. As hot as I was last week and the week before, the cold streak has hit hard. I withdrew some money from my FanDuel account, and since then I have lost 25% of my remaining bankroll. Well, I guess that’s what this game is about. We have a little […]

We have another full slate on Friday, August 21st, and once again the Cubs will play an afternoon game, eliminating them from my analysis. They will take on the Braves at Wrigley Field at 4:05. As far as the rest of the field, we have plenty of top pitching options to choose from, and I’ll […]

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for the fullest and normal-est Thursday slate you’ve ever read about. Yes, it’s true; Thursday, August 19th has zero afternoon games and 11 night games. That’s right! It’s Friday, only a little smaller. It doesn’t get much better than that. As for me, I’ve completely taken out cash games in […]

Even when the Cubs aren’t at home their messing up DFS slates everywhere. The two Chicago teams will clash at 4:10 on Friday, August 14th, thus eliminating them from the “main slate” today. That gives us 14 games to look at, and we have a handful of pitchers from which to choose from. With that […]

Welcome to this fine Thursday, August 13th. If you follow me on Twitter (which you really should by now!) at @BellRoto, you’ll likely be aware of my awesome Monday night in which I was a base hit away from conquering my first tournament. It was a very small tournament in which the winner took home […]

If you haven’t updated your FanDuel app yet, do it! They’ve finally caught up with the times and added DL, starting or not starting, and lineup position next to players’ names in the lineup building page. This makes our jobs as DFS players much easier. Friday’s slate is much better for pitching than Thursday’s slate. […]

With football season quickly approaching, a lot of would-be amateur MLB DFS players are starting to fall off the wagon. From an opposing viewpoint, those year-long fantasy baseball players who have fallen out of contention in their leagues might be picking up DFS now. So maybe this paragraph isn’t really serving a purpose or proving […]

Ugh. Thursday was no fun for DFS. Pitchers got shelled, hitters with supposedly good splits did nothing (while lefties bombed lefties), and stacks faltered brutally. Not to mention the Pirates got blown out. We’ll chalk that one up as a loss, moving forward as quickly as possible. Friday, July 31st is deadline day! We have […]

If it weren’t for Jon Lester’s gem of a start yesterday afternoon, Justin Verlander and company might have grabbed me my first GPP takedown. I still came out near the top, finishing with one lineup tripling my money and one lineup multiplying my investment by seven. So, it was a good day overall. Thursday, July […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoKyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as High-End TE2 Current ADP: 165 STD, 147 PPR ANALYSIS: Although Minnesota is still looking for everything to come together for the injury-prone Kyle Rudolph, the immense size and upside are still there. Rudolph is 6’6” and 260 lbs-- making him a terrifying red zone threat. Between his foot injury […]

Holy pitching, Batman! As DFS analysts and players, it’s always interesting to find a slate that gives too few or too many viable options. In Friday, July 24th’s case, the options are plentiful. On a day like today, you have to weigh a few variables when selecting your go-to guy, especially because we only get […]

Well, it’s the second half of the season, and I’ve officially moved on from my “I want to cash” ways. Screw getting three times what I put in, I want to win some triple digit cash payouts! I’m still working on how exactly I should go about doing that, but I think a lot of […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoCan Vikings Tight End Kyle Rudolph Be Your Sleeper TE in 2015?
In most fantasy football leagues, managers only need to draft one tight end. Something tells me I’m going to struggle when deciding which one to target. Since writing a recent article on Travis Kelce and how he should continue to improve this year, I’ve found that I’m also in love with Kyle Rudolph. Not only […]

Tommy Bell 9 years agoTravis Kelce (TE, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as TE1 CURRENT ADP: 54 STD, 49 PPR ANALYSIS: Travis Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, but his opportunity for Gronk-like targets is increasing, as well. In 2014, Kelce reeled in 67 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns, despite a slow […]
Tommy Bell 9 years agoWhy Travis Kelce Will Be The Next Great Fantasy Tight End
Those who were big into fantasy football analysis this time last year heard far-off whispers that Travis Kelce might be the next big tight end to make a fantasy impact. This year, those whispers have turned into full-on roars from the tops of tall buildings. Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob […]
