TARGET: ~250 CURRENT ADP: 380 ANALYSIS: Before Capps was shut down last year he was the definition of dominant. Seriously. This isn't one of those "oh, he said dominant but that just means he was the best" situations. I mean dominant. Here are the top five relievers and their swinging strike rate from 2015 (min. 30 IP): Zach Putnam […]
Full Story »Eugenio Suarez (CIN, SS) - Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
TARGET: ~220 CURRENT ADP: 297 ANALYSIS: When Suarez first started his professional baseball career, he would not have had “power” bat attached to him. Now it’d still be a stretch to call him a slugger, but out of the shortstop slot he did hit 13 bombs in 97 games (398 plate appearances). Now Todd Frazier is gone and […]

Full Story »Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
TARGET: 192 (16th round in 12-team leagues) CURRENT ADP: 237 (19th round in 12-team leagues) ANALYSIS: The 2015 MLB season will be remembered for the emergence of a plethora of young talent: Kris Bryant, Carlos Correa, Francisco Lindor, Miguel Sano, Noah Syndergaard, Jung Ho Kang, Joc Pederson, Matt Duffy. We could go on. But can you name who finished […]
Full Story »Mike Napoli (1B, CLE) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
TARGET: ~260 CURRENT ADP: 442 ANALYSIS: Location, location, location. The old real estate adage absolutely applies to sports, and one of the main beneficiaries of a change of scenery will be Mike Napoli. Napoli signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Indians and was told he will spend the majority of his time as the everyday first basemen, per […]
Full Story »Josh Harrison (2B/3B/OF, PIT) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
TARGET: ~160 CURRENT ADP: 225 (22nd round in 10-team leagues) ANALYSIS: Let's start by saying there's no way Josh Harrison's current ADP sticks around the 22nd round. I'd assume most of these rankings were completed before Neil Walker was shipped to New York (N), opening the door for playing time for Harrison. As of this moment, Harrison is in […]
Full Story »Marcin Gortat (C, WAS) - Great FanDuel Play on 1/11/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Marcin Gortat is the best center option on the board tonight against the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls are the worst team in the league against opposing centers, and Gortat is having a great season. He plays well with John Wall. Gortat has over 25 fantasy points in all of his […]
Full Story »Nikola Mirotic (PF/SF, CHI) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/11/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $5,500 ANALYSIS: Nikola Mirotic makes for a great tournament play tonight against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are horrible against both the power forward and small forward positions. That means that Mirotic should have a solid outing. In his last game, against the Atlanta Hawks, he posted over 40 fantasy points. He […]
Full Story »Pau Gasol (PF, CHI) - Top Option on FanDuel for 1/11/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $8,700: ANALYSIS: Pau Gasol is the best forward option on the board tonight against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are an uptempo team, and they are going to keep this game close. That means that Gasol is going to play big minutes. Gasol did not look great in his last game against […]
Full Story »Shane Larkin (PG, BKN) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/11/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAS, $4,300 ANALYSIS: Shane Larkin is not a great basketball player. In fact, he is probably the worst starting point guard in the league right now. However, he is going to continue to play 25-30 minutes per game because Jarrett Jack is out for the season. Larkin gets a tough matchup tonight against […]
Full Story »John Wall (PG, WAS) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/11/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $9,900 ANALYSIS: John Wall started to go on a decline prior to his last game, but after his solid showing against the Orlando Magic, in which is posted over 45 fantasy points, it seems as if John Wall is fine. He is definitely the best point guard on the board tonight, as […]
Full Story »Aaron Gordon (SF/PF, ORL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add for Upside OWNED: 41% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Orlando took Aaron Gordon, a super-athletic but raw combo forward, 4th overall in the 2014 draft. Gordon’s rookie year was a bit of a disappointment, but the athleticism and potential was on display for all to see. Many expected a significant jump in […]
Full Story »NBA Centers: Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers
The waiver wire this week is filled with guys who may not blow you away with their overall production but should intrigue you because of their consistency night in and night out. Finding someone who is going to contribute every night is more important than potential and possible production. Also, getting rid of guys who […]
Full Story »Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/11
Chris Bosh (at GS, $7,800) If the Heat want to hand the Warriors only their third loss this season, they'll need a big performance from their veteran power forward. Granted I'm talking as if the Heat aren't a good team this year, but with the way Golden State has been playing, they could give the famous […]
