So how’s your season going? Mine? I can’t complain. After rough first week, the team has truly bounced back. Of course, I’m still reaping the benefits of acquiring Justin Upton from Mister Average. Thanks again, buddy! He’s like the Cris Carter of baseball – all he does is hit home runs! Before we get into the fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups [...]
Week 2 was more fun for me than week 1. I convinced a silly owner to trade me Justin Upton smack-dab in the middle of the week (and his monster run), and he’s only gone on to hit another couple bombs for me. Chris Davis came back down to Earth as one would expect and has started doing Chris Davis [...]
Well, week one sure came and went quickly didn’t it? How about that Chris Davis fellow? Did you have him in week one? Did you face him in week one? I bet you either love or hate that sumbitch right now. But you’re not here to read about Chris Davis. He was likely drafted in your league. You’re here to [...]
WHOA YU DARVISH THAT WAS SO SUPER CRAZY. Everyone should run to add him! Oh, wait. You can’t. He was drafted in fantasy leagues this season to be an ace, and is clearly not available on your waiver wire. Well, then again, Yu Darvish is only owned in *98% of Yahoo! Fantasy Leagues – so go get him! Alright, now [...]
So you’re the lucky bastard that drew the top selection in the fantasy baseball draft, eh? You sly dog, you get the choice of any stud you please. Now comes the hard part… who are you taking. As Joe Slowik outlined in yesterday’s guide to Dominate Your Fantasy Baseball Draft, the job is made a bit easier by the simple [...]
Anyone that has played fantasy sports before knows that the first, and usually most important, step in building a successful team is emerging from the draft with a solid and balanced team. You can patch holes in your roster here and there, but you will have to be either really good or really lucky to fix a team that is [...]
With superstar Derrick Rose shelved for at least half the season, Chicago’s unheralded center has taken his game to new heights. The Bulls, lacking offense from every angle, have unleashed their big man and allowed him to be a larger part of their offense than ever previously considered. The cool part? He’s delivering. Last night, Joakim Noah attempted 19 shots. [...]
What? You want some sexy fantasy football pickups? Ok, FINE! I’ll drop some knowledge on you to help you survive the bye week blues and any injuries that might be piling up on your roster. I’m looking at you, Maurice Jones-Drew owners. To qualify my brilliance, I have to link you to this article where I called Alfred Morris weeks [...]
I know I’m not breaking new ground here. That said I’ve concluded that this affirmation needs a friendly reminder from time to time in life. This is yours. Life can be stripped down to a systemic sequence of individual decisions followed by an effecting results, typically leading to the next individual decision to be made. Obviously these decisions are [...]
I know everyone else in the world is obsessed with fantasy football, but I strongly prefer fantasy basketball. There are a number of reasons, but there are two main reasons: less randomness and far more strategy involved in building a good team. You’re not just trying to score the most points, you have to draft a well-rounded team that can [...]
