It’s always a treat when I open my browser to the NBA schedule and see a nice, juicy 10-game slate to pick apart. After countless weeks of short Sunday slates it’s about time we got one, right? Not only that but we have THE RETURN OF BLAKE GRIFFIN!!! Given the massive slate, I’m going to give you a stud recommendation, a mid-tier value play, and…...

NASCAR heads to the shortest track on the schedule this weekend — the 0.526-mile paperclip-shaped track known as Martinsville Speedway for the STP 500. That 500 is a key number, because that’s the number of laps there are this week. As a result, it is of utmost importance to find the likely race dominators. Without getting them in your roster, you’ll be behind the eight-ball in the…...

Welcome to NBA DFS silly season where players shutdown for the remainder of the year with nonexistent injuries and “DNP – Rest” appears in the box score on a nightly basis. During this stretch run the rotations of non-playoffs teams get wonky. Have no fear — the increased volatility means chaos, and chaos means opportunity. Between these recommendations, the On the Daily Podcast, the NBA Game…...

Fantasy Douche already broached this subject in his case for Laquon Treadwell, but I thought it was worth diving into a little deeper. Age matters for prospects, especially wide receivers. With the recent news about “disappointing” pro days for both Treadwell and Pharoh Cooper, I think it is easy to forget that both will play their rookie season at age 21, and just how important that is. The…...

Earlier this week, we unveiled the 2016 opportunity scores for rookie wide receivers. Opportunity scores are a numbers-based formula for determining which teams are the best landing spots for rookies. In fantasy and real football, performance is largely a function of opportunity, whether created through talent, draft position or a lack of roster competition….

Tight end (with a few exceptions) is usually the last position player considered by drafters when putting together a team for best ball leagues. And for the most part, that is a good strategy. Unless you are able to get a Rob Gronkowski or Jordan Reed at a discount, the TE spot will likely be one of the lower point scoring slots in your lineup (not…...

We’ve been doing some speculative rookie landing spot discussions around here lately, and contemplating what the implications of these dream scenarios would be for rookie dynasty drafts. Today I’m going to look at C.J. Prosise to the Colts. The Team Almost certain to take a running back in the draft, the Colts are perhaps the single best landing spot for a rookie runner. Frank Gore‘s workload was among the most valuable…...

A brief exploration of coaching and PPR scoring trends. I often hear people talk about the “coaching narrative.” How much does play calling matter for the top scoring players? I decided to find out if there is any correlation between play calling/coaching and the top fantasy players. There are some visible historical trends in the grids that follow. Below are the top 12 non-QB scoring PPR players…...

I’m going to be honest. When I thought of this one it almost blew my mind. Before I get to how this would shake up rookie drafts let’s talk about how it could happen. According to Play the Draft Tyler Ervin might not even get drafted. The scouts that power the RSI disagree slightly but their rating would still imply something like a fourth round…...

After a refreshing week off, NASCAR returns this weekend to Martinsville Speedway for the STP 500. However, first we’ll revisit the model projections and my picks for the Auto Club 400 two weekends ago at Auto Club Speedway. The race was somewhat nutty, with several tires going down or outright blowing out. This led to multiple cautions and put several drivers back in the running…...

Bengals running back Jeremy Hill was a sensation as a rookie, totaling 1,339 yards from scrimmage and nine TDs. But he struggled as a sophomore, rushing for only 3.6 yards per rushing attempt and totaling just 873 yards from scrimmage. Will he make a fantasy comeback in 2016? Hill’s situation reminds me of Doug Martin, another RB who had a strong rookie situation and then struggled as a…...
