He reflected upon his Fantasy Alarm days and then, Eureka! Like a flash of lightning, the thought sprung from his mind… the MLB Weekly Preview. For those of you…

Best Ball Winners & Losers
If you were to ask anyone who plays in a league with me what my most prominent weakness would be, the answer would be a resounding, “WAIVERS!” I love drafting, but let’s be honest here; when you’re in the thick of the NFL season, managing high volumes of season-long leagues, dynasty leagues, DFS lineups, and maybe Read More!

Week 7: Vlad, Alonso, Mondesi & More
Vlad Guerrero has struggled to this point. Is there anything to be overly worried about? Peter Alonso was great. Now the game of adjustments has started and it’s caused him to slow of late. The Mariners need infield help and that means J.P. Crawford and/or Shed Long might be of value in the fantasy game. Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.
