With the 2017 NFL Draft on the horizon (it starts on Thursday), I have decided to put together a Mock Draft of the first round.  This is all in fun as it seems almost everyone has an opinion on what teams will do in the draft and they are usually wrong.  Here is the way I think it will go, barring trades:Also, check out Jim Bay's Mock Draft HereCleveland Browns - Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M - The Browns suffered through a horrible 1-15 season in 2016, so they earned this pick.  With it they do the smart thing…

Here we are back to look over our 2 start pitchers for week 4. There seems to be quite a precipitous drop from the top suspected performers and those at the bottom. Even in the very deepest of leagues, I can not in good conscience recommend some of these pitchers based on their current play or upcoming match-ups. Now that we are almost through the first month I believe some of these performances will start coming back to the norm, good or bad.As in previous weeks, I'll tier these groups and offer insight on any hidden…

I know it's early in the 2017 MLB season, but if any of these guys are on your Fantasy roster, it's time to start worrying about them:My other article:14 Players You Need to Start Worrying About in the American LeagueJustin Bour, 1B, Miami Marlins - The Marlins went into this season with the idea of starting Bour every day in 2017.  Bour is going to have to start swinging the bat better in the near future if he doesn't want to be a platoon player again.  He has played in 18 games for the Marlins this year and…

MLB Fantasy I know that it's very early in the 2017 season, but you need to start worrying about some players if they are on your Fantasy Baseball team!  Here is a look at the players in the American League that I would start being worried about if they were on my team:My other article:15 Players to Start to Worry About in the National LeagueBrad Miller, 2B/SS, Tampa Bay Rays - If you drafted lefty swinging infielder Brad Miller hoping for 30 homers again (which he did last year), you might be starting to…

The first two weeks of the Major League Baseball Season are behind us. With that being said, most of your fantasy leagues have begun (HOPEFULLY ALL!). Some of you are looking at this season as your year to win it. Others may look at this season as just another year of rebuilding. If you're an owner who plans on rebuilding, this is a must-read article for you. In this article, I will present 5 starting pitchers that one must-stash in order to become Championship contenders in years to come. Amir Garrett Cincinnati Reds…

Mike Williams Profile Around this time in 2014, the Buffalo Bills had 7 players with the last name of Williams on their roster. Many pointed out that since Bill is short for William and suggested that the team should have been called by its long name, the Buffalo Williams. They even had a WR named Mike Williams who played at Syracuse. Now, Bills fans are hoping that the tradition lives on, and the team will draft Clemson wideout Mike Williams, and reunite him with Clemson alum Sammy Watkins. Whether this happens or not,…

Charlie McAvoy Profile Usually, playoff teams keep their roster from the regular season. But due to injuries to defenseman Torey Krug, Brandon Carlo, and Colin Miller, the Boston Bruins signed Charlie McAvoy, their 2016 1st round draft pick to an entry-level 3-year deal. This contract shows that the Bruins are desperate but it also shows how much confidence they have in this 19-year-old. He's been consistently logging the 2nd most minutes for the Bruins against the Ottawa Senators in the series, most belonged to Zdeno…

Jim Bay's NFL Mock Draft As a whole, people have a tendency to love mock drafts. They set expectations, potentially offer insight, and add a bit of excitement to the grind between free agency and the draft. We know that no one is ever going to have the perfect mock as NFL teams put out and use information like players in the World Series of Poker. There still will be plenty of rumors and smokescreens between now and draft day. The draft itself? Where else will each announcement send the gathered crowd of hundreds, many…

Daily Fantasy Baseball is so different from full season leagues. A lot of players you wouldn't touch in season long leagues are gold in daily leagues due to a matchup against the starting pitcher on any given day.  Here is a look at platoon players that will give your daily rosters a good boost at a likely very cheap price (which will allow you to roster more high price players at other positions) against lefty starting pitchers:Chris Young, OF, Boston Red Sox - Young is only 1 for 10 (.100 avg., .282 OPS) with 2 runs…

Fantasy Baseball Trade Advice Trading is the best way to make your Fantasy Baseball team better each year.  Face it, after the draft/auction, there isn't a lot left in free agency if you are in an A.L. Only or N.L. Only type of league.  With that in mind, here are five tips I have for you: Don't Send Insulting Trade Offers Remember, the Fantasy Baseball season is a very long one.  You want to be able to trade with every single team in your league at some point in the season.  With that in mind, you can't send awful trade…
