Rhys Hoskins – Is 200 enough? 9, 17, 38, 47.What does that sound like? 9, 17, 38, 47? A locker combination at the gym? Maybe jersey numbers from retired Yankee greats? Lotto numbers? Nope, those are the yearly home run totals for Rhys Hoskins in his minor and now major league career. Hoskins slugged his way onto the scene late in 2017 by becoming the fastest player in major league history to reach 18 career home runs.While sharing time at first base and outfield, Hoskins slashed an impressive .259/.396/.618 in his…

Ah, Week 12, the week that was. There were some seriously crooked fantasy scores on the board this week, and if you thought this whole Case Keenum thing was just a facade, don't look now, but he scored a casual 27.3 fantasy points this week. In other news, there were some big breakouts that need to be discussed, and of course, some more brilliance from Le'Veon Bell. The Steelers RB made 183 yards look easy against the Packers, and he was in good company, as a handful of other backs had themselves a monster week, as well.…

We have an EPL bonus this week, with games being played on Tuesday and Wednesday. I project Gabriel Jesus, Aaron Ramsey and Sadio Mane to have good fantasy days. But first, let’s take a look at what happened this past weekend. WEEK 13: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Fantasy disappointment was all over, especially for forwards. The teams that should’ve brought the most fantasy points were Manchester United and Tottenham. Well, United barely won against Brighton, and even that was through an own goal. The Spurs didn’t win at all,…

We're already a quarter of the way through the hockey season, and now's the time to start evaluating whether teams and players can maintain their early-season production. There have been a lot of surprises so far. Brent Burns is in a historic scoring slump, the Vegas Golden Knights might actually be good, 37 players are at a point-per-game pace or more, and the Edmonton Oilers, Montreal Canadiens, and Arizona Coyotes aren't playing to their potential. These are all examples of early trends that probably won't last the entire…

Doug Fister signed a one-year deal with a club option with the Texas Rangers. While he is not considered one of the top free agents this offseason, the 33-year-old displayed improved talent last year to be considered a late-round flier.In 2015 and 2016, Fister struggled to remain productive, as his average fastball velocity dropped to 86 mph. Because of the decline, he posted a sub-6.0 K/9 and got hit around with the highest home run rates (both 1.2 HR/9) since his rookie season.Fister's 2017 outlooked seem grim, but…

WEEK 12: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Round 12 was marked by the triumphal return of "Poggy." The Frenchman led United to a much-needed victory, while at the same time reminding the world of how valuable he really is to this team. Both Martial and Lukaku scored, while Rashford assisted on Paul Pogba's goal. Ibrahimovic also found his way onto the field as a late-game substitute. So, as a whole, it was a great day for Manchester United fans, and the 4-1 final score was only the cherry on top.In general, it was a goal-heavy…

We finally get all the chips back this week, and a couple of extras. Welcome back into the fold, Greg Olsen, but owners will also have to find alternatives for Robert Woods, as he's set to miss several weeks with a shoulder injury. While you're scouting your waiver wire for replacements, be sure to check on the status of Samaje Perine at the same time. The Redskins running back is in for some serious work after Chris Thompson's injury last week, and since he's still available in over 70% of leagues, he's an easy hook up.…

Get a load of Week 11. Certainly entertaining, and quite possibly the greatest weekend of your life - if you own shares in a select few star wide receivers, of course. Even after a full Sunday's worth of games, Ben Roethlisberger was this week's top-scoring QB. His Thursday night performance against the Titans was nothing short of scintillating, as he stands atop the leader board with 29 PPR points. As for the rest, Week 11 held a few surprises. Here's everything you need to know: Thumbs UpPoints for trying. The…

We’ve made it to our final week of byes, and that means we’re in the final stretch of the fantasy regular season. That also means we’re in crunch time for teams on the fringes of the playoffs and these matchups matter more now than ever. Fortunately, we have plenty of favorable matchups that can lead you to victory this week. Without further ado, we start with former first-round pick DeVante Parker.
