We move forward with our NBA Draft prospect rankings this week, this time focusing on wings/forwards. These are players that you will usually find playing the three or the four in the NBA. When it comes to wings, this class is very top heavy. It features two potential superstars and then a drop off to players that will be starters in the NBA. With that said, the two I have at the top are two of the better players I have seen in recent years. Both have very high floors to go with high ceilings and the potential to be top 10 …

With Deshaun Watson, Chad Kelly, Mitchell Trubisky, and Patrick Mahomes graduated to the NFL, it's time to take a look at the top returning signal callers for the 2017 college football season. 10. Trace McSorley, Penn State McSorley was a nice surprise for Nittany Lions fans. After Christian Hackenberg left the fans disappointed, McSorley took the helm and led Penn State to their first Big Ten Championship since 2008. McSorley can throw the deep ball and move around well. He accounted for four touchdowns in…

The top 10 rankings will be released weekly during the hockey offseason. This week, we’re doing top 10 centers for next season. There were many factors in deciding this list, but the main criteria were consistency, age, and the player’s injury history. 10. Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks Getzlaf has been fairly consistent in his 12-season career. The Ducks captain has had seven seasons with 70 points or more. He also has two seasons in the 60-point range and 49 points in 44 games in the lockout-shortened season in 2013.…

With another full week of baseball coming up, it's always smart to check the waiver wire or scout for the occasional 'diamond in the rough' fantasy star found at a very cheap cost. Winning the waiver wire could be the difference between grabbing a few extra points to land in the money or falling just short. Here's a few hitters that might be available on your league waiver wire or could be found at a relatively low cost against favorable pitching matchups. (Note: Stats and numbers are as of June 9th) Monday, June 12:…

I need to start off this week's article by making a clarifying statement that was made in last week's Waiver Wire Pickups.  I made a comment that was attributed to my wife that she is claiming is not true. She wants everyone to know that I am generally not wrong about everything, and that to the best of her knowledge I am correct more often than not on things concerning fantasy sports. However, it should be noted that she feels that I am wrong most of the time concerning matters of finances, weather forecasting, and the…

This week features a plethora of middling pitchers with two-start weeks. This is exactly the type of week you want to take advantage of these dual matchups with very few fantasy aces getting a second start. That doesn't mean that there aren't some very intriguing matchups to take advantage of, though. With so few meaningful two-start pitchers going, you should be able to play matchups better on a few single-start pitchers. Your opponent will also be hard pressed to use too many meaningful starters against you with more than…

Fantasy football season is right around the corner. Here are the top 10 tight ends to target as we draw closer to draft season. 1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots - Is this a surprise to anyone? We all know that the big negative with Gronk is health. When he's healthy, however, it's a buffet of points from Tom Brady, possibly the greatest quarterback to play the game. In just six games in 2016, Gronk had three 100-yard games and three touchdowns. He also caught 25-of-38 targets for 540 yards. Look for more of the…

Every spring, most fantasy owners tend to wait too long on closers in their drafts and end up with uninspiring options to choose from. They then spend the rest of the season chasing saves and trying to grab the next new closer. In competitive leagues, newly anointed closers are grabbed quickly. That’s why it’s important to get ahead of the game and look for the next good reliever that might get a chance to close. If any of the below 10 guys are free agents in your league and you’re looking for a closer, give them a look.…

Even when your favorite team is playing well, it's still fun to look toward the future. For some teams, the future is all they have to look forward to. Prospects are an exciting part of the game and provide plenty of discussion on who will turn into the next star or who will bust. This week, we take a look at the New York Yankees, who have one of the deepest farm systems in baseball. The minor league season is well underway, and prospects are working hard to make their cases that they're ready for the big leagues. Here's…

With the NHL season winding down, it's time to start getting your team ready for the upcoming 2017-18 season. This is a list of the top five players at each position that can help you win your league this year. To simplify things, this list will be based on points. You should be able to draft these sleepers late and come up big in the win column. Christian Dvorak, Arizona Coyotes Dvorak is a 21-year-old center that Arizona picked in the second round, 58th overall. In his last season with the London Knights (2015-16), he…
