What can we take away from Week 13? The playoff picture may be no clearer than it was a week ago, and as far as fantasy is concerned, it really was the week of the running back. Lost among the NFC South/AFC West playoff talk was Tom Brady's unusual 258-yard, zero-touchdown, one-interception performance against the Bills. He totaled only 8.3 PPR points on Sunday, a rare occurrence indeed. Fortunately, if you do own Brady, the following players more than made up for his un-MVP like performance. Here's your Week 13 wrap:…

Backup goalies are always risky considering you…

Welington Castillo has signed with the Chicago White Sox after playing for the Baltimore Orioles last season. As for his overall fantasy value, it should remain relatively constant. He goes from one hitter-friendly park to another hitter-friendly park. While the White Sox will not be as good offensively as the Orioles, Castillo will likely hit higher in the lineup than he did in Baltimore, where he usually slotted seventh or eighth in the batting order. With the catcher position in the tank, a projection of 15 home runs and…

WEEK 14: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Salah has been the story of the season so far. Looking at what he and De Bruyne are doing, one has to wonder: What was Chelsea thinking?! That's a different discussion for a different article. Now, let's see what happened in the previous round and what to anticipate in the next one.You can see it wasn’t a regular round of play just by looking at the highest scorers among goalkeepers below. Everton is the leader because of its 4-0 victory over West Ham, in which Rooney went back in time with a…

Two trades happened mid-day Thursday, with the Angels and Diamondbacks picking up potential closers.First, Tampa Bay traded reliever Brad Boxberger to Arizona for pitching prospect Curtis Taylor. Taylor looks to have a decent chance of succeeding but is still in Low-A ball. He’s fantasy irrelevant for this season.Boxberger (463 ADP) looks like he’ll move immediately into Arizona’s closer mix, competing with Archie Bradley. Boxberger held down Tampa’s closer role in 2015, collecting 41 saves. After dealing with…

As we head into Week 13, Michael Crabtree is the only notable player missing from the wide receiver ranks. Of course, we can't look past the Eli Manning exclusion -- oh, and the fact that 10% of people have jumped all over Jimmy Garoppolo (bold!). There are some big movers this week, as well. Doug Martin comes dangerously close to falling outside the Top 50 as he works his way back from a concussion, and Zay Jones jumps back into relevancy after his 12.3-point effort. Here are your rankings ahead of Week 13: Quarterback…
