2015 Fantasy Football: Wide Receiver Sleepers
Sleepers All average draft position data comes from Fantasy Pros cumulative numbers. Mike Wallace (WR30, 79th overall) – When you think of Wallace you may think he’s inconsistent simply because he was/is labeled as a deep threat and isn’t a possession receiver catching five balls a game. But that’s not
2015 Fantasy Baseball: Rookie Report – Randal Grichuk Soaring
Just like with Matt Duffy, for most of the season I’ve been thinking Randal Grichuk wasn’t a rookie. That’s probably because he played in 47 games in last year’s regular season and then started all nine St. Louis postseason games. He also debuted in April of last year, so he’s
2015 Fantasy Football Team Preview: San Francisco 49ers
Quarterback The 49ers may have changed head coaches this offseason, but new offensive coordinator Geep Chryst was the team’s quarterbacks coach for four years so Colin Kaepernick shouldn’t go under much of a transition this summer. I think it’s telling that San Francisco departed from Jim Harbaugh and Michael Crabtree
2015 Fantasy Baseball: Rookie Report – Heston, Heaney Updates; Washington’s Ross Rising
Chris Heston Continues Strong Season Heston is tied for the rookie lead in starts with 20 and he’s behind only Noah Syndergaard in rookie pitcher WAR. Heston’s 3.14 ERA ranks 24th among all qualified starts, and his 56.5 percent ground ball rate ranks fifth among all starters. Heston’s only had

The Cardinals paid a steep price for Moss, giving up a former first-rounder who
2015 Fantasy Football Team Preview: San Diego Chargers
QUARTERBACK Philip Rivers returns for his 12th season in San Diego, and he’s not slowing down. In the past two seasons he has posted his third- and fourth-highest yardage totals as well as his second- and third-highest touchdown totals. He’s also finished in the top eight in yards and touchdowns
2015 MLB Trade Deadline: St. Louis Cardinals Acquire Steve Cishek
The St. Louis Cardinals have struck again, acquiring an undervalued relief pitcher in July in hopes of improving their bullpen for October. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald first reported Friday afternoon that St. Louis is trading for the 29-year-old righty Steve Cishek. In exchange, the Cardinals will be sending
2015 Fantasy Baseball: Rookie Report — Matt Duffy’s Power Surge
Somehow, I’ve missed Matt Duffy being a rookie this year. Even after perusing the Fangraphs rookie leaderboards and the MLB.com rookie stats pages I missed his name…every…single…time. I don’t get it. So let’s fix that.
2015 Fantasy Football: Atlanta Falcons Team Preview
The Atlanta Falcons are a team wrapped in a mixture of certainty and uncertainty. While some of their players (Matt Ryan, Julio Jones) will produce week-in and week-out, there remain questions about many other players (Roddy White, Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman). There’s a new head coach (former Seattle defensive coordinator
2015 Fantasy Baseball: Ground Ball Rate Risers
I’ve wanted to do a post on Carlos Martinez for a while, and as I was looking at batted ball statistics at Fangraphs I noticed he’s currently eighth in ground ball rate at 55.6 percent, an increase from his two previous seasons. There were other names that caught my eye,
