Every year, there are certain players you draft because you are comfortable with them. I get it. I do the same thing. It is time however to break that trend. So with that said, here are nine players to avoid. Nelson Cruz, DH, Twins: Nellie has been a model of consistency at the plate the past five seasons. He has averaged 42 home runs and 104 RBI’s in that span….
Every year there are certain players that fly under the radar that can help your team. Here are nine players (position players and pitchers) that you should consider drafting. Enrique Hernandez, SS/OF/2B, Dodgers: Hernandez will be the Dodgers starting second baseman but like his predecessor Chris Taylor, he will also play shortstop and in the outfield. Hernandez belted 21 home runs and had 462 plate appearances. He could easily match…
Max Scherzer pitched 300 innings for the Nationals last season. I used to be one of those guys that drafted a balanced team. Whether it be in a ten team league or a twelve team league, I would draft the best player on the board depending on where I picked. Using that strategy helped as I was able to make the playoffs consistently and make deep playoff runs. I have…
NFL free agency was as hectic as usual with several free agents changing teams last week. Here is a breakdown of the remaining free agents that signed and what the fantasy implications are. Nick Foles, QB, Jaguars: I expect Foles to produce at the level we are accustomed to seeing him produce at. Sure, he doesn’t have the skill around him that he had in Philadelphia but the Jaguars have…
The New York Jets signed free agent running back LeVeon Bell to a four year, $52 million dollar contract last week. Bell sat out all of last season, refusing to play on the franchise tag and in the process leaving $14 million dollars on the table. So what kind of a player are the Jets getting in Bell? It depends on what kind of shape he is in. By all…
The Cleveland Browns acquired wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. last week in exchange for a first round pick in this year’s draft (17th overall), a 3rd round pick in this year’s draft and safety Jabril Peppers. The Browns paid a fairly steep price for one of the game’s best receivers in the NFL. If Beckham stays healthy however, he is an elite level talent that should thrive playing in head…
The Flyers and Penguins renew one of the NHL’s most bitter rivalries tonight as Philadelphia visits Pittsburgh. The last time these two teams met was February 23rd in the Stadium Series outdoor. The Flyers stormed back to beat the Penguins in overtime. Here is my showdown line up for tonight. Sidney Crosby, C, Penguins ($11,800): Sid the Kid has been at the center of the Penguins resurgence and he has…
I am doing a showdown line up on Draft Kings this St. Patrick’s Day between the 76ers and the Bucks. This game has enormous playoff implications regarding seeding in the Eastern Conference. Here is my line up. CAPT. Jimmy Butler, SF, 76ers ($13,200): I didn’t want overspend for my captain. Butler made sense because he is affordable and will get plenty of minutes in this game. UTIL: Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF/PF,…
There several attractive match ups on the schedule for tonight including Warriors at Thunder. Here is our Draft Kings line up for tonight. PG: Luca Doncic, Mavericks vs. Cavaliers ($8,700): Luca has slowed down his torrid pace the last two weeks but he is still a must play in match ups like this. SG: Spencer Dinwiddie, Nets at Jazz ($6,100): Dinwiddie is healthy and back to his normal minutes off…
With the season winding down, there several game with major playoff implications tonight. These games also provide quality match ups in daily fantasy. Here is line up for tonight. C: Matt Duchene, Blue Jackets at Bruins ($5,600): Duchene has been a terrific DFS value all season long. The move to Columbus hasn’t effected his production and with a playoff spot on the line, expect Duchene to get more minutes and…
