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…

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.

Fifteen games and 50 at-bats are hardly enough of a sample size to draw definitive conclusions from. Even so, this won’t prevent your league mates from jumping on or off a bandwagon based on how a player has fared in his first 10 or so games.

A wise man once said, "The games you win in April are just as important as the games you win in September."

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…
