2019 Player Profile: The Breakout Pitcher
Back in 2014 I started to do a thing. I decided I would target a pitcher, a guy no one was talking about much, and proclaim him to be my Breakout Pitcher of The Year.

2019 Projected Draft Position: 1.0
One of the most important indicators of future success for NFL prospects is draft position. If you’re skeptical of that fact, check this out (/general/rb-and-wr-success-probability-charts-2018-review).

As If It Never Even Happened: Le’Veon Bell
Le’Veon Bell was a dominant fantasy force as a running back since being drafted in the 2nd round by the Steelers in 2013. From that season through 2018, he was in the Top 10 in FP/G (points-per-reception scoring) every year. And except for his rookie season, he was Top 4 or better, even in 2015 Read More!

Injury-Adjusted Expected WR Points in 2019

2019 Player Profile: Wil Myers

2019 Player Profile: Miguel Andujar
The number two qualifier in the 2018 AL ROY voting, Miguel Andujar had one heck of a season for the Bronx Bombers. He showed power and combined it with batting average, something that seems in short supply these days as it’s either one or the other for most folks. He also offered one of the Read More!

2019 Player Profile: Adalberto Mondesi
After two years of horrid work in the majors, Adalberto Mondesi exploded on the fantasy scene in 2018 offering 75 games of elite level production. So stupendous was his run, giving him 150 games at those levels would have led to a season of .276-28-74-94-64, and that he was vaulted up draft boards in 2019 Read More!

2019 Player Profile: Andrew Heaney
Andrew Heaney took a long while to arrive. He finally did last season though there were still some obvious concerns.
