Felix Hernandez, Starting pitcher rankings

Fantasy Baseball draft season is finally here, which means I have to get my rankings together. Normally, I’d start from catchers and go forward in the rankings posts through the infielders and outfielders, before getting to the pitchers. But this season, I’m starting with the top 70 Starting Pitcher rankings for 2015 Fantasy Baseball! Normal …

It’s crazy that we have reached Week 14 already, and not only the Fantasy Football season, also the NFL season is coming down the stretch. It has been a great season, filled with excitement and surprises. However, as the season comes down the stretch, the games become more important, and the money you have spent …

Matt Forte, 2013 Fantasy Football PPR Rankings

Three of the preseason top 25 running backs were injured this past weekend, which makes these Week 6 RB rankings a little thinner than usual. Reggie Bush, Rashad Jennings and Montee Ball all came out of Week 5 a little worse for the wear, which means players like George Winn, Andre Williams and Denver’s Ronnie …

Week 5 DST Rankings

With six teams coming off of bye weeks, you’re going to have a lot more choices among the Week 5 DST rankings, as six defenses return to the field – while just the Dolphins and Raiders defenses take a week off on Week 5 byes. The Bengals, Broncos, Browns, Cardinals, Rams and Seahawks are all …

Checking out the Week 3 Kicker rankings, eh? Color me impressed! Looking at these rankings is the equivalent of eating a salad without dressing or going swimming at a beach in Canada. This tells me three things about you as a Fantasy owner. You’re a researcher that likes to get multiple opinions in your head …

Brandon Marshall, 2013 Fantasy WR Rankings

The 2014 WR rankings are a great mix of up-and-coming talents and aging veterans, passing each other on the way up and down the rankings. Over the past few seasons, with the inordinate amount of passing yards each week, we're finding that wide receivers, in some cases, are more valuable than running backs. That's the …

Peyton Manning, 2012 Fantasy Football Awards

The dust has barely settled on your 2013 Fantasy Football championship trophy, and you're already looking for 2014 QB rankings!?! You're a sicko. You're demented. You're my kind of Fantasy Football player! So we're looking at several months before we really know where all of the players end up playing in 2014, but there likely …

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Miami Dolphins

It's playoff time for many of us, and we just need that one player to get us over the hump. Hopefully, I can share some Week 14 sleepers that can help you forge ahead. Some of us need to get our heads out of our rump. I played Danny Woodhead over Ben Tate last week …

Jake Locker, Week 2 QB Rankings

Before we get right into the Week 9 Waiver Wire Adds, I'd like to note; Marvin Jones should have been included in this column already. The reason he wasn't is simple. Personal attachment to Mohamed Sanu. After watching his nifty three-week stretch last season, where he scored 4 times and was pegged as a Sleeper …

Fantasy FatCast Podcast, 400x400

Bleacher Report's Eric Mack and I get together for another podcast, previewing the Week 8 matchups (sorta) and looking at six different Fantasy players to target for this second half.

Roger Craig, PPR Running back rankings

In every 10 Fantasy Football leagues, about three of them play in PPR leagues. For that 30 percent, getting good PPR running back rankings is essential! We aim to please this summer, as we take a look at the best PPR running backs in Fantasy. Near the end of the ‘90s, people began to understand …

Miles Austin, Week 3 Sleepers

The stock market is a lot like Fantasy Football. When a player’s value is at their lowest, it’s wise to invest in that stock, especially one that has nothing to lose. I have formulated a list of veterans that I believe are Fantasy value plays and whose stocks are relatively low. Some of these players …

San Francisco 49ers, 2013 Offensive Line Rankings

Everyone knows that a good offensive line makes a world of difference for skill position players, so these 2013 Offensive Line Rankings should help you decipher which QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs are in for good seasons ahead. Remember that a good running back is only as good as the offensive line that blocks for …

Adrian Peterson, 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft

In a few weeks, I’ll host a #TwitMock …

Peyton Manning, 2012 Fantasy Football Awards

Outside of counting up and spending your winnings, the best thing about the end of the Fantasy Football season is looking back and judging. While the 2012 Fantasy Football Awards officially mean very little, it’s always nice to look back before you look forward. And in keeper leagues, it’s always nice to taunt fellow owners …

Before the season begins, TradeDebate.com examined all 32 teams Fantasy potential, and ranked them according to their expected Fantasy output. These Fantasy power rankings are based on the rewards that the team as a whole will give the owners of whom they have drafted players.  The first half of teams examines the bottom half of …

The Fantasy Football late rounds are usually filled with a bunch of kickers and defense/special teams units. This mock draft won't be much different, as most owners still need to fill those less-than-key positions. For those owners that grabbed defenses early, they'll be likely grabbing the final sleepers at running back and wide receiver in these final …

It's official. We're in the middle rounds of our Fantasy Football Experts Draft known as #TwitMock 2012! We hope you've enjoyed it so far. The experts have been leery of drafting quarterbacks and tight ends, but these next few rounds should change some of that. They'll also be looking to fill backup spots among running …

NFL: October 19 Lions v Texans

It would be a mistake for us not to value Calvin Johnson as the best receiver in Fantasy Football. After all, he was a solid 44 pointsbetter than the second-best receiver last season, using standard scoring. And there’s a reason his nickname is Megatron: his body of work is out of this world. But let’s …
