Fantasy Basketball Fast Break (Week of 12/25)

Happy holidays, everyone. It’s been an interesting start to the season, but there’s still plenty of work to be done in the fantasy world. And since it’s the holiday season, I won’t sit here and complain about all the injuries or how NBA players seem to be a lot softer when they were when I was growing up. I could go on for days about that, but let’s just get right into the good stuff. The stuff you came here to read. So grab a glass of eggnog, sit by the fire, and let's get started.Games Played by Team This Week4…

The Cost of Pitching in 2018

It’s been no secret that power is up in the Major Leagues. Home runs are at a record high, and whether you believe it’s the result of a juiced ball or just a mental shift in the way players approach the game, it’s up and likely to stay this way for a while. Of course, for power to be up, that means that something has to be down, and that something is most definitely pitching.I can remember back in the earlier days of my fantasy baseball career, and the one true rule to live by was to wait on pitching.

Fantasy Football: Week 16 Running Back Matchup Report

Todd Gurley almost single-handedly won his owners championship berths last week. Gurley totaled 42.00 fantasy points against the Seattle Seahawks, the most any running back has had in any game since Week 14 of 2016. The Rams are one of the best stories of the season, but they are not the only NFC team to make a dramatic turnaround in 2017. The Minnesota Vikings have clinched the NFC North and are poised to earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. Their offense has survived multiple injuries, and players have really stepped…

Fantasy Football: Week 16 Wide Receiver Matchup Report

Antonio Brown left Week 15 with a partially torn calf muscle and will not play in Week 16. This is a significant blow for fantasy owners as we head to the fantasy championship round. There is no easy fix for replacing fantasy’s overall WR1. One player who may help soften the blow to fantasy owners in Week 16 is Brown’s teammate, Martavis Bryant. Bryant entered 2017 with huge expectations after missing 2016 due to suspension. He was drafted as a low-WR2 in most leagues but has been a massive disappointment. Bryant enters Week…
