I've been playing this game for over 20 years, in an estimated 110 different drafts –- and my opponents are smarter than ever before. You have to stay ahead of the competition, and these tools are meant to help you do …
Over the past few weeks, we've taken a closer look at some of the different injuries Fantasy owners should be aware of as the Fantasy Football draft season approaches. We talked about injured quarterbacks, injured running backs and injured wide receivers in recent weeks. And today, we're wrapping up this series with a look at …
In an effort to come up with starting pitcher rankings that have a more predictive than descriptive value, I looked to implement a more meaningful metric in player rater evaluation than ERA—xFIP. For those of you that don’t know, xFIP is an offspring of FIP—fielding independent pitching—that was developed in the fashion of DIPs theory. …
Over Saturday, I aggregated last week’s ZiPS and Steamer rest of season projections (found on Fangraphs) into one list, and then translated those numbers into Fantasy value using Jeffrey Gross’ E.Y.E.S. formula to come up with what one may consider the most thoughtful rest of season rankings. When I say, "most thoughtful," I simply try …

How do you know who you can trust in fantasy baseball? It says here that you should hitch your wagon to this column - when I say you need to acquire a player (usually via free agency) you should! I play in deep leagues (lots of teams and lots of roster spots). That means that …
There is a special class of Fantasy Baseball player who we like to call "post-hype players." Basically, if a prospect has lots of buzz around them -– think Colby Rasmus -– and they have a dismal start to their major league career, there is a definite tendency to write them off. However, in many instances, …
Fantasy trades are the most divisive part of Fantasy Sports. It is one of two ways to improve your team, and doesn't involve any luck whatsoever, but rather your ability to know your hand and how to read theirs. The robbery of a good trade is euphoric, while to be taken for a fool can be …
