Full Story »Is Eli Manning Ready to Become an Elite Fantasy QB in 2015?
While Eli Manning is criminally underrated year after year, you should be smarter than to pass on Eli in 2015. The stage is set for Eli to post top-5 QB numbers and Eli has never floundered on a big stage. If your interpretation of Eli’s fantasy value is still dictated by his 27-interception campaign, perhaps […]

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 […]
Full Story »Tim Cooney (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues OWNED IN: 4% of fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Tim Cooney is a solid young starter for the best team in baseball. That carries plenty of value.

Full Story »Mike Wallace is an Undervalued Wide Receiver in 2015
When Mike Wallace was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, I didn’t see this as a negative. Apparently I am in the minority here as Wallace’s ADP sits outside the top 30 wide receivers at WR31. Most FantasyPros experts like him even less with two thirds of all experts ranking him worse than his ADP! Keep […]
Full Story »Fantasy Football 2015: Ranking the Top 10 Second Year Running Backs
The 2014 rookie running back class wasn't as exciting as the quarterback class, nor did it hold a candle to the surge of young receivers. In fact, only a handful of second year halfbacks are expected to start for their teams in week 1 of the 2015 season. In 2014, only one rookie running back […]
Full Story »X-Rays Negative On Yunel Escobar (Wrist) MRI Thursday
The X-rays on Yunel Escobar's left hand and wrist came back negative after he left Wednesday’s game early against the New York Mets, according to The Washington Post. The Washington Nationals infielder will still undergo an MRI because there’s possible ligament damage to his wrist after an awkward swing in the second inning against Noah […]
Full Story »Manchester United Fantasy Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview
Manchester United really caught a break when Liverpool imploded on themselves, following the biting incident, the subsequent sale of Luis Suarez, and all that followed. They potentially faced years in the wilderness outside of the Champions League. Instead they are now back in the top four, despite the common acceptance of having one of their worst performing […]
Full Story »Everton Fantasy Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview
Everton has traditionally been considered on the fringes of the Champions League, but it may be getting worse. The spending of not just the new big four teams, but even teams such as Crystal Palace and Stoke City, is placing Everton in a more and more difficult position as their spending has remained relatively low key. […]
Full Story »Chelsea Fantasy Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview
Chelsea was the dominant force in the EPL last season. Ten years ago, Chelsea was crowned Champions and went on to retain their title, so can Jose Mourinho repeat the trick this time around? The success of Chelsea is as always built on defensive strength. In Thibaut Courtois they have arguably the best goalkeeper in the world, and […]
Full Story »Manchester City Fantasy Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview
Manchester City, by their recent standards, had a poor season last year. Manager Manuel Pellegrini is in some ways fortunate to remain in his position, having failed to win a trophy and again underachieving in the Champions League. Joe Hart will be ever-present, and his difficult days between the posts seem a dim and distant […]
Full Story »Liverpool Fantasy Analysis: 2015-16 English Premier League Preview
Liverpool FC were always going to struggle to replace the goals scored by Luis Suarez and the subsequent loss of Daniel Sturridge to injury. Coupled with the disastrous acquisition of Mario Balotelli, these challenges made qualification for the Champions League a virtual impossibility. The eventual finish when put in this context, whilst of course disappointing, was not necessarily […]
