Everyone knows you should take Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, or Auston Matthews with your first few Fantasy Hockey Draft picks. But who should you be drafting in the mid-to-late rounds? Who is going much later than they should be? Who has the same profile as a player going much earlier? I looked at Yahoo ADPs (Average Draft Position) and compared them with my projections and customizable rankings tool to find the biggest draft day steals as of right now. Mark Scheifele (WPG – C | ADP… Source link

[Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] Much was expected from Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones and Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders back in 2021. Their ADPs differed — Jones was a first-round draft pick, while Sanders was to be had in the early middle rounds — but each was expected to deliver sound fantasy production last season. Jones was a solid option after the top RBs and WRs were selected in the first round. Sanders was one of the last… Source link

During draft season, I didn’t see writing an early May article about the Arizona Diamondbacks coming. After all, this is a team that had one player with a top-100 ADP (Ketel Marte), two others who barely made the top-150 (Zac Gallen, Mark Melancon) and one other team member who was tabbed inside the top-200 picks (Daulton Varsho). But there are some statistical oddities with the D-backs right now that fantasy managers need to be aware of. Let’s start with pitching. You could guess most of… Source link

Entering Week 8 of the MLB season, let’s use CSW (my favorite quick and dirty stat) to identify pitchers whose strong (or slow) starts appear real (or not). I used 250 pitches thrown as the qualifying threshold. The Good CSW Corbin Burnes, Milwaukee Brewers (No. 1 in CSW) He leads all starters by a significant margin, as if you needed further proof his ridiculous start was real. He finally walked his first batter of the season during his return from the IL last week, but a 58:1 K:BB line will… Source link

Baseball is a grind — and the fantasy version of the game is no different. And because it’s a grind, baseball features streaks. Hitters can get hot at the plate, seemingly seeing beach balls thrown at them. Pitchers can get hot on the mound, too. And of course, both can get freezing cold. In this space, we’ll take a weekly look at who’s hot and who’s not — and whether you should believe in the streak.
