With spring games happening weekend after weekend this month, fantasy owners are looking for certain position battles to shake out so they know who to draft come August. With that being said, these are the most high-profile position battles this spring. Clemson Quarterback Participants: Kelly Bryant, Hunter Johnson, Trevor Lawrence, Chase Brice The quarterback situation will be interesting as Clemson, according to Tom Luginbill, has the best four quarterbacks ever compiled on one Division I roster. Kelly Bryant is the…

2018 NFL Draft ProFiles: J'Mon Moore J'Mon Moore looks the part of an elite Wide Receiver. His production on paper holds true to that picture as well, having turned in back to back thousand yard seasons in the vaunted South East Conference. However, with such a loaded NFL Draft class at the WR position, does the Missouri product even crack the Top 10? With other big WR1 types in this class like Courtland Sutton, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Calvin Ridley, is J'Mon Moore able to convince you that he should be a high pick…

Even people living under rocks know about the offensive prowess of Vladimir Guerreo Jr. and Bo Bichette, two second-generation hitters who have been turning heads all spring. Prospects like this don't come around very often, and the fact that both currently play for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats is just plain unfair for the rest of the Eastern League. Not to mention that Craig Biggio's son and Yuli Gurriel's little brother are also on the roster. On Saturday night, when the temperatures sat in the mid to upper-30s, I sat…

Friday’s “Kris Bryant” day came and went with almost no action taken by teams to call up their stud prospects. Before we speculate on when the next crop of top-tier prospects will see MLB, let's recap the pertinent dates teams are considering. For those unfamiliar with the term that isn’t really a term — just something I say loudly to myself while complaining about my fantasy teams — Kris Bryant day is the exact date each season when a team can call a prospect up and retain an extra year of service time on that player.…

One of the toughest things to keep a grip on in sports is the constant evolution of players. We get so used to seeing players like Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera compete for triple crowns every year that it takes us a long time to adjust our perception when those days start to fade. On the flip side, a new crop of players is always on the rise, ready to swoop in and steal headlines from the previous stars of the game. Winning in fantasy sports has a lot to do with getting in or out on players long before the public…

2018 NFL Draft ProFiles: Hayden Hurst Hayden Hurst was once a promising minor league Baseball pitcher, who had a traumatic experience alter that course. He went back to South Carolina, became a leading Tight End, and now may be the first one called at his position, ahead of guys like Mike Gesicki and Dallas Goedert in this year's NFL Draft. He will be one of the oldest rookies in the league, but does that mean he's ready to come in and contribute from day one? Hayden Hurst Tight End South Carolina 6'4" | 250…

While the infield has its fair share of power hitters and speedsters, the outfield is where you find the players with the perfect blend of herbs and spices. Sorry, got KFC on the brain. By herbs and spices, I mean power and speed. And I'm not just talking about one or the other. While there are power and speed-only players in the outfield, there are a ton that bring plenty of both to the table. That extends deep down into the depths of the minor leagues as well. So strap on a bib and get out the wet naps, 'cause this is…

We're still on the April page of the calendar, so the appropriate response to most fantasy-induced panic is still "it's too early." The phrase "small sample size" might be getting on our nerves, but it's still applicable. Yet this is not to say that there is no reason to dabble in some roster moves. Take my industry league teams (please). After the third weekend of play, my Tout Wars mixed auction squad has staggered its way to 10th place out of 15 teams, and in TGFBI, I am sitting in 11th place. The two rosters share…

Fantasy Football: Old Faces, New Places: Running Backs More than a dozen running backs will put on a new NFL jersey this season, and that's not including the future talent that will be drafted next week. There are still a couple of impactful running backs available on the free agent market, such as DeMarco Murray and the recently released C.J. Anderson to keep an eye on. Some who signed landed in better fantasy football environments, while others are likely to provide a fantasy hit to their stock or new teammates. The…
