Welcome to the Negative Nate version of Dudes and Don'ts! It was actually more difficult than I thought it would be for me to come up with names here. I dislike plenty of starters, but with most of them, it's all purely injury related. That doesn't make for great written content. "Hey, this guy gets hurt all the time. He'll get hurt again this year. Don't draft him!" Shampoo, rinse, repeat. Guys like James Paxton, Alex Wood, Rich Hill, and Danny Duffy all congregate under this umbrella of doom. I expect varying returns of…

2018 NFL Draft Player Profile Tre'Quan Smith Wide Receiver Central Florida 6'1" | 210 Projected 4th Round Pick 2018 NFL Draft This class is loaded with Wide Receiver prospects, which can mask the abilities of a player like Tre'Quan Smith. But he has the size, speed, and track record to suggest you shouldn't ignore his talent. Because he is flying under the radar, he becomes an excellent Dynasty league target. Hence, his inclusion in our 2o18 NFL Draft Pro-Files series featuring Andy Singleton (@PeoplezPen) and…

Much like the best barbeque sauce or a stern letter sent to a co-worker, there’s no better type of prediction than a bold one. And I’ve seen plenty of writers throw out bold predictions like “Francisco Lindor finishes 2018 as a top-15 player!” To those writers, I give a hearty scoff. That’s not a bold prediction; that’s a mild prediction. That’s the generic brand sauce that disappoints your friends and neighbors when you pull it out for your grilling session. It’s the Kyle Seager of predictions. It likely produces, but no…

As we are ready to embark on a new baseball season, we have participated in drafts and seen many trends. Specifically, there are a number of players who seem to end up on many of our rosters. Here are some players that I find myself gravitating towards during this draft season. I believe all of these players can provide excellent value in 2018. Christian Yelich, OF – ADP 53.2 Christian Yelich is one of the most underrated players in the game. For his career, he is a .290 hitter with a 10.7 percent walk rate and has an 80…

2018 NFL Draft Player Profile Mike Gesicki Tight End Penn State 6'5" | 247 Projected 1st/2nd Round Pick 2018 NFL Draft In a class rumored to be deep at the Tight End position, Mike Gesicki sits at the top. What separates the Penn State product and makes him a unique talent? Due to his past Basketball and Volleyball background, he has a fluidity not often seen. Because of that, he is shooting up draft boards. Therefore a player you should be targeting in Dynasty leagues. And hence, his inclusion in our 2o18 NFL…

This year's Tout Wars mixed league auction felt different to me, and it wasn't just the surroundings. For the first time, we held our auction in the locker room at Richmond County Bank Ballpark, the home of the Short Season Class A Staten Island Yankees. For reasons that probably had little to do with the presence of lockers, uniforms and even mascot costumes, I spent the bulk of my $260 budget more quickly than I can ever recall doing. Though I had been consciously moving toward emphasizing hitters over the last couple of…

If you're a fan of the Cowboys, Giants, or Redskins, you'd hope to see your team making splashy free agent signings. Anything to keep them in competition with the Eagles. Let's check in on the offensive free agent tracker: Cowboys - zero signings Giants - one signing (Jonathan Stewart) Redskins - one signing (Paul Richardson) Meanwhile, the Eagles have boosted an already formidable defensive front and trimmed their offense. With the infrastructure already in place, it's going to be hard to dethrone the reigning…

As a result, he's quickly climbing up draft boards, and should be on yours as well. Furthermore, an intriguing off-field upbringing that will be sure to get your attention.
