Should We Be Using Team Bullpens in 2020?
The 2020 MLB season is going to be different. I think we’ve all accepted that as our truth, and therefore running fantasy baseball leagues like we always have might be a mistake.

Surprising Player Ages
In many formats of fantasy football, a player’s age has little-to-no significance. Since most players are only good for a few years anyway, and it’s almost impossible to know at which part of their careers they’ll find fantasy success, most of the time looking at age is a worthless endeavor. Despite all that, there are Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Using Bulk Relievers in 2020
In article written a few days back, I listed the reasons why one should strongly consider avoiding taking starting pitchers early in a fantasy draft (Why Avoid Starting Pitching Early?). I get it, you’ve already drafted and you don’t care or cannot take advantage of the advice so it doesn’t matter. Even if that is Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Games Played Qualifications in 2021
We have rules in place for positional qualifications in baseball. Some leagues use this number, others that number, but we all have a number.

2020 Player Profile: Cesar Hernandez
For years, Cesar Hernandez was a nice little player who would steal and help you out in the batting average category.

Rookie Class Expectations: Wide Receiver
Rookie Class Expectations is a series that helps define how a specific class of players should be perceived.

2020 Player Profile: John Means
John Means had a 3.60 ERA and 1.14 WHIP last season over 155 innings, and he was a lifesaver as a result to many who added him off the waiver-wire to replace a struggling or injured arm.

Greatest One Season Wonders of All-Time
As fantasy football players, we collectively love finding sleepers.
