WEEK 15: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Time flies. It feels like it was only yesterday when I was writing about the upcoming Pep vs. Mou battle, and we’re already there. But, before going into further detail, let’s have a look at last week’s action, in which Liverpool's Brazilian duo of Firmino and Coutinho led the way.The Reds are officially on fire. They’ve scored at least three times in eight of the last nine fixtures, including five times in Brighton in Week 15. That’s exactly where the above-mentioned Firmino and Coutinho…

Tyler Chatwood signed a three-year deal with the Cubs on Thursday afternoon. After pitching in Colorado for six seasons, he moves out of the most unfriendly home pitcher’s park to be the Cubs' No. 4 starter. While any move will improve Chatwood's projections compared to pitching in Coors Field, he still has a major wart holding down his value.On the surface, Chatwood struggled last season with a 4.69 ERA backed by a 7.3 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9, both career highs. While a 2.5 mph increase in fastball velocity helped increase his…

For most of you, this is where the fun begins: fantasy football playoffs. Unfortunately, it falls on a week that features some of the season's toughest matchups, as games between the Falcons/Saints, Eagles/Rams, and Chiefs/Raiders hold some real-life playoff implications of their own. If you're on team Brady, you can probably count on a bounce-back week against the Dolphins. Of course, if you own shares in Antonio Brown, you can probably find solace in the fact that he owns 874 career yards and three touchdowns versus the…

Golf's fall season has come to an end, and for fantasy owners, it's time to look forward to the New Year. The 2017 year brought us the dominance of Justin Thomas, and the emergence of golfers like Jon Rahm, Marc Leishman, and Brooks Koepka. Not to mention the unfathomable outcome of McIlroy and Day not winning on TOUR, while Sergio Garcia finally grabbed his first major.Below are the top 25 golfers for the 2018 fantasy golf season, taking into account the fact that more tournaments played will get you a higher ranking,…

Tommy Pham: Feast or Phamine? Tommy Pham, the speedy St. Louis outfielder, was one of the few Cardinals players to outperform expectations in 2017. He logged the majority of his time in left field last season, but after his All-Star caliber performance -- and Dexter Fowler's declining range in center field -- Pham is slated to spend the majority of his time in center in 2018. In addition to covering a lot of ground in the outfield, Pham also covers a lot ground on the base paths. Despite his shortened season of only 128…

The Texas Rangers added to their pitching staff by signing Mike Minor after just adding Doug Fister about a week ago. The Rangers are in desperate need of rotation help, and they hope the 29-year-old lefty can fill one of those spots. The plan is suspect, though, because Minor hasn’t started a major league game since 2014 after struggling to come back from shoulder surgery.While Minor may or may not start, he threw lights out as a reliever for the Royals and closed at the end of the season, notching six saves. In 77…

If you are a fantasy football diehard, and you actively use a Twitter account to track news about your squad, you have likely heard of a little thing called The Fish Bowl. Essentially, it is a ProAm for Fantasy Football, created by Scott Fish, that has grown to epic proportions. Industry "analysts" and "experts" are pitted against their audience and readers, and go head to head in ruthless fashion. Scoring wrinkles, hidden prizes for drafting secret players, oh and did I mention, it now houses 720 teams. You read that right…
