Ray’s Ramblings: The Replacement Level Game
Winning in the DFS game. Getting the hot gal at the end of the bar on a Saturday night to go home with you. Finding strong performances off the waiver-wire. People think it’s easy to accomplish all three of those tasks, but I’m here to tell you it isn’t. Since I’m not going to comment Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 28th
Arrieta is just average, maybe. Corbin is missing bats and has been good, without matching last season. Boyd has hit the skids, but should you panic with the lefty from Detroit? The Braves’ Fried has been solid, but… Gibson has quietly been pretty darn effective. What has Keuchel looked like his first two starts? Marquez Read More!

Mind Of Marsal: My Thoughts On Sammy Watkins In 2019
Happy Friday Fantasy Guru fam! Hope everyone had an awesome week and is ready to unwind this weekend.

Friday Fantasy Focus – Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Welcome back for another installment of the #FridayFantasyFocus! Last week’s segment on Rashaad Penny provided a ton of clarity in how I’ll be approaching Penny in redraft, bestball, and dynasty leagues this summer. Hope you took notes.

Filling the Void: Oakland Raiders Receiving Options
It seems every offseason there becomes more and more player movement in the NFL. Between free agency, trades, the draft and players getting released, there’s an immense amount of fluctuation surrounding target-shares and how teams will distribute targets. The goal of this article is to evaluate what teams looked like in 2018 and what changes Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 27th
The D’backs have Robbie Ray, and are calling up Alex Young. David Price continues to generate outs. John Means is just about ready to return for the Orioles. Lyles should return for Pirates, but he hit the shelf while on a big-time skid. Mahle and Heaney have both hit the skids a bit. Marco Gonzales Read More!

Superflex Quarterbacks to Stash in Dynasty Leagues
If there’s one thing I try to do every year as a fantasy analyst, it’s to try and get more and more people to play Superflex leagues. The quarterback position in a single-quarterback setting is so replaceable that it really doesn’t matter where you pick your quarterback. Adding a second roster spot to flex an Read More!

2019 Undervalued Players
What’s good Fantasy Guru fam! It is Thursday and although we are still far away from having Thursday night football, we have plenty of football to chat about. There are no exceptions.

Targeting Third Down Running Backs in Fantasy Drafts
When people talk about third down running backs, what typically comes to mind? The PPR catch-specialists, right? While these players certainly see an uptick in volume on third downs, once opposing defenses see them run out onto the field, the offense is generally tipping off that it’ll be a pass play. Unsurprisingly, these backs don’t Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Ray’s Ramblings: Injuries & Lineup Decisions
Tim Anderson is hurt, and he’s going to miss substantial time with that ankle holding him back. What will the White Sox do in his absence? Is there anything to worry about with the slumping Josh Bell? Giancarlo Stanton is hurt again. Should anyone be surprised? The Marlins and the Padres pitching rotations could be Read More!

League Format: 14-Team PPR
How’s it going my Fantasy Guru fam! We have been getting asked a decent amount of questions in our chat room about 14-team leagues. So I have decided to go ahead and dig into this format at this time. This is very similar to a 12-team PPR format which I’ve already covered. If you haven’t Read More!

Never Again: Fantasy Football Players I’m Fading in 2019
“NEVER AGAIN” isn’t a phrase I tend to use in fantasy football. In fact, I put emphasis on avoiding that type of Black/White thinking. Howevah (I’m from Massachusetts), there are certain instances in life where moving on from bad situations can be healthy. Today, we’re going to be talking about some painful fantasy situations from Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

ADP Report – Fanball June Update
Last week, we took a look at DRAFT ADP to find risers and fallers over the past month. These leagues vary in size, but the biggest distinguishing factor is it’s half-PPR scoring format. This week we’re going to dive into the popular Fanball site. Fanball drafts offer a different composition with them being 20 rounds Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 25th
Homer Bailey is performing, but can you trust him? Luis Castillo is a sell now candidate? Merrill Kelly has been effective, in particular of late. Kikuchi has become a pitching machine. Mikolas has been effective, nothing more. Miley is showing some signs of crumbling. Paddack has the yellow flags a waving. Pineda just can’t seem Read More!

Happy Tuesday my Fantasy Guru fam! The summer is here and it is extremely hot in South Florida, but thank goodness for a wise man called Willis Carrier who invented air conditioning.

Fade Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues
One of the most successful things veteran fantasy football players do is avoid the hype surrounding incoming rookies at the wide receiver position. Historically, we’ve seen very few produce elite fantasy numbers right off the bat. In fact, over the past decade, we’ve only seen 13 rookie receivers finish as top-24 fantasy assets — and Read More!

Future NFL Draft Prospects: June 25
The NFL is built upon what college football provides. Every year, there’s a focus on incoming rookies and players who are going to make an impact for their new teams, but where did those players come from?

2018 Fantasy Football Scoring Dependency
I’ve been working on building my fantasy projections for the 2019 season. It’s a fruitful, yet arduous exercise going team by team, position by position, and breaking down market shares, touchdown rates, catch percentage, etc. One of the most beneficial things I take away from doing this exercise every year is seeing how a team Read More!

Year 3 Breakout Fantasy Football Candidates
The 2017 NFL Draft was a terrific one for fantasy football. There are already multiple players inside the top-five at their respective positions among Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, JuJu Smith-Schuster, George Kittle, O.J. Howard, and Evan Engram. Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook, James Conner, Chris Godwin, and David Njoku have also found Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2019 Player Profile: Bobby Bradley
The Indians need offense, so they made the move over the weekend to call up one of their best power bats in Bobby Bradley. The name might be boring an uninteresting, but that doesn’t mean the game is.
