Trevor Story started to garner some buzz late in 2015 as Jose Reyes struggled to perform in a Rockies’ uniform. Story has yet to hit the majors, but last year his numbers between AA and AAA saw him hit 20 homers and steal 22 bags in 575 plate appearances. You’re telling me there’s a guy […]
Full Story »Jose Reyes is a Dice Roll at SS in 2016
Jose Reyes entered the 2015 as a fourth/fifth round pick as he was poised to produce atop a powerful Toronto lineup. Unfortunately it wasn’t long before he cracked a rib on a checkswing, and was shelved in late April through most of May. He was then traded to Colorado days before the trade deadline where […]
Full Story »DJ LeMahieu: Pushing for Top Ten 2B Consideration in 2016
DJ LeMahieu really took a step forward in 2015, as he started stealing enough and upped his average to a point where he brought some juice to the table for fantasy owners. In past years he has been an empty decent batting average, but never doing enough to warrant consideration outside of deep league MI […]
Full Story »Mark Reynolds: Can Coors Field Resuscitate Him?
Mark Reynolds failed to make a positive impression in St. Louis in 2015, as he was only able to hit 13 home runs alongside a poor .230 batting average. Sadly, that was a big step forward from his .196 average in 2014 (though he did hit 22 bombs for Milwaukee at least). Teams know what […]
Full Story »Ben Paulsen: Deep League CI Option
Ben Paulsen can come across as “just a guy”, but by virtue of being on the Colorado Rockies he carries more relevance than he would anywhere else. Paulsen annually flirted with 20 home run campaigns in the minors, where he was stuck for several years thanks to a guy named Todd Helton holding down the […]
Full Story »Nick Hundley: Top Ten Catcher in 2016?
Nick Hundley is the definition of a Coors Field beneficiary. He’ll be 32 this year and has spent most of his career mired in mediocrity on the Padres. if you just blindly look at his line – 389 plate appearances with 45 runs, 10 homers, 43 RBIs, 5 steals, and a .301 average – you […]
Full Story »Salah Mejri (C, DAL) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/26/16
Salah Mejri (at LAL, $3,500) If Zaza Pachulia does not play Tuesday night, then Mejri looks to be the biggest benefactor. He has logged serious minutes in two of his last three games, while recording 32 points and 21 rebounds during that span. And we love picking on the Lakers here at Rotoballer.
Full Story »Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/26/16
Kevin Durant (at NYK, $9,800) There is something about Kevin Durant playing in Madison Square Garden, in the country’s largest media market, that makes me think that he will go HAM against the Knicks. Add in that Carmelo Anthony is reportedly dealing with some soreness in his surgically repaired knee and you have to wonder if he will be […]
Full Story »DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - DraftKings Smart Play on 1/26/16
DeMar DeRozan (vs WAS, $8,300) Every time Toronto balls against Washington, it seems like DeRozan pummels the Wizards. In three games this season against their divisional foes, he is averaging 30 points, six rebounds and three assists. Clearly he likes something in the Washington defense. With Kyle Lowry most likely being checked by John Wall, look for more of the […]
Full Story »Archie Goodwin (SG, PHO) and P.J. Tucker (SF, PHO) - DraftKings Stack on 1/26/16
Archie Goodwin (at PHI, $4,500) Goodwin is still listed as a shooting guard on DraftKings and it is looking as if Brandon Knight is going to be out for Tuesday’s matchup in Philadelphia. Goodwin has played 39 and 41 minutes, respectively, in Phoenix’s last two games where he has started at the point, dropping a total of 68 DraftKings […]

Full Story »Carlos Gonzalez Looks to Continue Power Surge to Top OF Spot
Carlos Gonzalez rode one of the hottest streaks we’ve seen in a while to a fantastic finish to 2015. It’s hard to speak about seasonal averages for a guy who is always dealing with injuries, he was as locked in as he’d ever been. 2015 saw him log over 600 plate appearances for the first […]
