Baller Move: Add Immediately for Steals/Threes Analysis: He may have been dropped due to the sprained ankle that’s kept him out the last couple weeks, but he’s due back after the All-Star Break, and will likely reclaim a spot in the starting lineup from the uninspiring Wes Johnson. In case you forgot how good Meeks […]
Full Story »DeMarre Carroll (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: DeMarre Carroll – I don’t really think I need to say much about Carroll. He’s been a top 20 fantasy player over the last month. I’ll just file this in the “I can’t believe he’s still less than half-owned category.” Whether it’s the great shooting (.567 since 1/13), the three pointers (2.0/game), […]
Full Story »PJ Tucker (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues for Rebounds Analysis: PJ Tucker is averaging a solid 7.5 rebounds over the last month. Pair that with percentages and turnover rates that are very reasonable and a solid trickle of about a trey and a steal per game, and you’ve got a guy who can help without hurting […]
Full Story »Chris Kaman (Center) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: The big bald man is on fire over the last couple games, putting up back-to-back 20+/10+ games in points and rebounds, as well as blocking multiple shots and even putting up a 3 or 4 assists. This is obviously not going to last – Chris Kaman has not suddenly turned into LaMarcus […]

Before I sat down to rank the Top 25 Third Basemen for 2014 fantasy faseball, I thought I'd have a tough time coming up with twenty-five players at the position who I would consider drafting in 2014.

Let's face facts-- for the past few seasons, it has not been easy to be a Mets fan. But each season brings hope, and the Mets path to success resides in its pitching staff, which is the team's core strength. The rotation took a serious blow last October when the Mets announced that Matt Harvey […]

Full Story »Anthony Bennett (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller move: Monitor closely Analysis: Remember the first overall pick in last year's draft? Yes, Anthony Bennett may actually become fantasy relevant. He is averaging 9.2 PTS 5.2 REB 0.7 STL in 19.7 MPG in February; obviously not stellar, but there's upside. He backed up his recently improved play with a nice double double (19 PTS/10 […]
Full Story »Zaza Pachulia (Center) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Speculative add in 12+ team leagues Analysis: The Bucks are a mess this season and Larry Drew's rotation is never set in stone, but with both Larry Sanders and John Henson out with injuries, that leaves Pachulia to take over a decent amount of minutes at the Center position. Over the past 5 […]
