Andre Drummond is averaging 8.6 rebounds per game this season. Despite Thanksgiving being in our rearview mirror, stuffing is still on the menu. Specifically, it’s time to serve up some “stat stuffers” still available in most Yahoo leagues and can help fantasy basketball managers in specific categories. Rebounds John Konchar, Memphis Grizzlies (57% available) Konchar is one of the best rebounding guards in the league. The problem has been he wasn’t getting enough minutes at the… Source link

Week 12 Waiver-Wire Pickups: Available Sleepers in Most Yahoo Leagues 0 of 4 Mark Alberti/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Week 12 got underway on Thursday with a trio of Thanksgiving games. Some fantasy managers were thankful for point-stuffed performances from players like Amon-Ra St. Brown and CeeDee Lamb, while others were left hungry for a big bounce-back on Sunday. And with several key injuries this week, some managers will be scrambling to make late additions to their lineups. There are… Source link

There certainly were contentious issues with arbitrator Sue L. Robinson’s decision in the Deshaun Watson case last month. But one thing Robinson got absolutely correct was how she noted that the NFL’s inconsistencies played a role in how she came to her conclusion on Watson’s six-game punishment (which has since been changed to 11 games after appeal). The inconsistency of sanctions continues to baffle observers, and not just how players are dealt with. And it’s not just the NFL. We saw it again… Source link

Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday. She was 96. The queen, who was coronated in 1953, spent more than 70 years as the head of the British royal family. One of Queen Elizabeth II’s many royal duties as queen was paying tribute to the rich history of England’s sporting culture. A number of athletes and professional sports leagues issued statements and paid tribute to the queen on Twitter following news of her death.

Yesterday I listed a few players that I think are being drafted too high based on the fact that they are more likely to be autopicked (at least when I autopicked in a few mock drafts). Listing players to move down your rankings also begs the question of which players you could probably reach a little higher for. In other words, which players are being drafted too low by Yahoo and perhaps other fantasy hockey providers. ADP (average draft position) is a useful tool in the draft room… Source link

Average draft position fluctuates throughout the months leading up to the NFL regular season, and never more so than when teams hit the field in pads for the first time. Players drastically fall up and down the draft board as injury news, depth chart battles, and the like begin to trickle out of training camps and preseason games. It’s easy for players to get lost in the weeds, being completely forgotten about as we try to adjust on the fly to the newest available information. That’s why… Source link

In a fantasy public service announcement, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has some advice for fantasy managers and the Yahoo scoring system. Video Transcript DAK PRESCOTT: Are you going to superflex me? Just drag me into a flex spot? Me? No. I’m sorry, that’s not happening. Here’s the deal. If you’re drafting me, Dak Prescott, I play quarterback, right at the top of the lineup. I don’t want to be stuck down near the kicker. If I wanted to grow up to be a flex, I would have asked my… Source link

BEREA, Ohio — The NFL has moved to appeal the six-game suspension handed down to Deshaun Watson after deliberating over Monday’s personal conduct judgement by arbitrator Sue L. Robinson, the league announced Wednesday. This effectively extends the league’s personal conduct case against Watson into next week, and puts the final determination into the hands of commissioner Roger Goodell or any designee he appoints to hear the appeal. “Under the 2020 NFL-NFLPA collective bargaining… Source link

On Tuesday, the 644th day of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly two years after it began ravaging American life, more than 100 players in the nation’s two biggest sports leagues were sidelined by the virus. Thirty-six NFL players tested positive on Monday. Dozens more joined them Tuesday, including eight Cleveland Browns. In the NBA, meanwhile, 10 Chicago Bulls and seven Brooklyn Nets are in the league’s health and safety protocols. Practices are being canceled. Team facilities are being… Source link
