If you’re anything like me, you’re likely watching this game with family members. Some, or even many, may not be football fans. If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place! What follows are 20 questions that should be accessible to even the casual fan–though you may have to explain to someone who Andy…
The 150-170 range is an appealing area for me to target a catcher in 2021. Travis d’Arnaud, Daulton Varsho, and Christian Vazquez all make for quality targets depending on team needs and league format. But I remain most intrigued by the bottom of this grouping, in Sean Murphy. On average, Murphy is being drafted closer…
Today I’m exploring a plate discipline metric known as swinging strike rate (SwStr%). And to clarify, I’m talking hitters, not pitchers. The cool thing about swinging strike rate is that it is calculated on a per-pitch basis. So even in a shortened season, it’s a bit stickier than other research we could focus on, and…
Second base is pretty thin this year, and I think it’s leading to some debate about the worth of the keystone’s elite performers. Like it or not, if you want one of the top three guys you’ll be paying a Round 3 price for them in 2021. There also appears to be fresh news of…
First base is a top-heavy group this year, but it’s also one with plenty of depth. You can wait a long while on this position if you miss out on the elite plays. Speaking of, Jorge has been vetoed by myself and Micah on the top pick, but Bellinger vs. Freeman is splitting hairs by…
Evaluating pitchers isn’t historically my thing, but I’m working on it. Welcome to the journey! At the very least, after today I expect to have a better sense of what sort of pitcher each of these guys is. That, to me, is more valuable than any set of rankings. Today I am examining K-BB% gainers…
Last week wasn’t too shabby, says the performances of Marvin Jones Jr. (30.20), Jalen Hurts (40.82), and the Dallas defense (15.00). T.Y. Hilton (11.10) underwhelmed and Cole Kmet (3.20) was a bust, but at least those salaries weren’t prohibitive and allowed you to pay up somewhere…you know, for someone like DeAndre Hopkins (34.00). Anyway, onward…
You’ll find no frills in this space, just a few guys I like for some NFL DFS action in Week 15. Jalen Hurts was good to me last week, and he gets another chance to come through against a blitz-happy Cardinals team this week. QB Jalen Hurts @ Arizona Cardinals ($5,900 DK, $6,900 FD) Hurts…
Jorge and Micah return to talk catchers on the heels of our first set of consensus rankings dropping: the top 30 backstops for 2021 fantasy baseball. iTunes Spotify Google Podcasts
Catcher…it’s everybody’s favorite fantasy baseball position. Okay, maybe not. But Heath, Jorge, and Micah have done the dirty work for you. All you have to do is read on! In general, there’s probably a consensus among the top 13 backstops right now. But after that, it’s truly a “choose your own adventure” sort of affair.…
