It’s certainly been awhile, but the process of deciphering total run index can be a little tedious. The good news is that when it’s done you have a great head start on your fantasy drafts next season. Today, we will look at first basemen. You can’t get anymore different than

The NFL season is entering into the 3rd quarter of action and has been pretty hectic. I have never seen more up and down fantasy weeks from would be / should be first round talent. From Ray Rice (BAL) 245 yards rushing, to sophomore slumps by Doug Martin (TB) and

After a solid but unspectacular 22-game taste of NFL football – three receptions and 41 yards per game – Michael Floyd is a strong candidate to emerge in the Cardinals final ten contests.  Floyd has been targeted at least six times in each week (high of ten), finally breaking the

It’s early in the season and overreactions are pouring in from fan bases across the National Hockey League. The best thing to do at this juncture is to look at actual game-tape since stats can be incredibly deceiving in such small sample sizes. Since today is “Special Teams Saturday”, we
