ROUND 33: FANTASY EPL REVIEW The meeting between Manchester City and Manchester United was one of the most anticipated matches of the season, and it more than delivered on its promise. It was a tale of two halves. City dominated the first half and went into half-time leading by two goals (Kompany and Gundogan). It could’ve easily been more if Sterling had been more focused. Mourinho’s half-time talk, combined with a few tactical tweaks and some Pogba magic, helped United get back into the game. And then Smalling got his…

2018 NFL Draft ProFiles: Dante Pettis Dante Pettis is the favorite Wide Receiver in this year's draft class by a number of Draftniks. The son of former MLB Outfielder Gary Pettis, Dante has the athletic profile you dream of. But, can he grow into his frame and become an elite WR in the NFL? Productive in college at Washington, is he better suited to play a complimentary role? Or can he challenge other alpha's in this class like Courtland Sutton, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Calvin Ridley.

If the best of the best starting pitchers are aces, what do we call the growing…

Sports have been an obsession for me since I was a little boy. Growing up, my father and I would attend dozens and dozens of sporting events. From MLB All-Star Games to World Cup soccer matches, I would soak it all up. As a huge sports fan, I naturally loved reading magazines like Sports Illustrated and Sporting News. On the back pages of these publications, I’d notice ads for fantasy sports leagues. While many people played in the same types of “home leagues” we have today, at the time, the only public ones you could…

It’s still far too early to panic if your team is low in the standings, but at least we are starting to a gather a bit of data to work with. In general, it would be wise to wait a couple of more weeks to determine whether a player is addable or droppable. However, that luxury is not always afforded due to injuries and other factors. Here are the players who are the most popular among the nearly 750 teams in the Bronze Salary Cap Points Challenge game. I have also noted players who have been added or dropped by at least 20…

Now that the season has gotten underway and injuries are piling up all across the league, the minor league depth of many teams is being tested. Some of the names being called up are quality prospects like the Yankees' Miguel Andujar, but there are also some deeper prospects making their debuts, including Corey Oswalt of the Mets and Jaime Barria of the Angels.

What: RBC Heritage Open Where: Harbour Town GL, Hilton Head, SC When: April 12th-15th Defending Champion: Wesley Bryan FedEx Cup Points and Purse: 500 and $6,700,000 Last week at the Masters, we saw Patrick Reed take home the green jacket with a very nice score of 15-under. Rory was in a prime position to make a run at Reed heading into Sunday, but it was Spieth, Fowler, and Rahm stealing the show for a run at second-place. Spieth nearly tied the record of 63 for the lowest single round at the Masters. Last…
