This will be the last installment of the mid-season dynasty rankings. I’ve saved the best for last, too. Yeah, right. Who am I kidding? Ranking relievers is more or less a crapshoot. You got your few elite options and then the rest is anyone’s guess. Over half of the relievers that were closers to start 2016 are either now in middle relief or retired. Below are the top 40 reliever options in dynasty leagues today. There are many guys you could debate here, and this list will probably change dramatically come spring time.…

After covering the Southeast Division's sleepers last week, this week we move on to the Atlantic Division. The division includes two teams fighting for a conference finals berth, one team coming to the tail end of "the process," and two more teams who are stuck in the basement of the NBA. The varying situations of the teams in the Atlantic Division create an interesting fantasy dynamic. The sleepers for the two best teams are players who can fill roles in a fantasy lineup, while the other three could be legitimate fantasy…

On the heels of the trade deadline, which did not feature many bats, fantasy owners seeking upside at shortstop could find it with the Mets. Using Keith Law's prospect rankings, No. 1 Amed Rosario will join the Mets for the rest of the season, causing a ripple effect in many leagues. Since his team sold at the deadline, but not any of their outfield, the Mets will stick to its plan to bring Rosario up on August 1. With Yoan Moncada already in the majors, this makes for the latest prospect to hit the waiver wire in many…

We've now covered every offensive position there is in these dynasty rankings. All that's left is starting pitchers and relievers. There's an old saying, "Pitching wins championships." That might be the case in real life baseball, but in fantasy it's more about offense. That's not to say that pitching isn't important, because it is. The starting pitcher position is incredibly deep and talented. You can still build a solid staff even without aces. Below are the top 100 arms to own right now in dynasty and keeper…

With Toronto’s big three, Zach Werenski, and Matt Murray all making names for themselves, last year’s rookie class was one of the best classes  in a long time. Next season should be no different. No one really knows how any of these players will do in their first season, which is why these rookies will be drafted in the last rounds in deep drafts, if at all. However, if you play your cards right, you could end up with a really promising young player, which is great for keeper leagues. They’re probably all taken in dynasty…

In last week's top 10, we took a look at some of the top closers in waiting. This week we turn our attention to some rookies that can make a big difference for your fantasy squad down the stretch. Let me start by saying this list is for recent and future call-ups only that are still available in fantasy leagues. You won’t find Aaron Judge or Cody Bellinger on this list, so don’t get mad. I’m warning you ahead of time. I honestly could have done a top-20 list here instead of just top-10. That’s how many good prospects…

Great times are waiting. Grab some Bud. Bud Norris gave up another four earned runs against the Blue Jays on Sunday. His total now sits at nine over the last seven days, so um, it's not so great if you grabbed some Bud. Perhaps the song "Who Can It Be Now" should play whenever Norris or Cam Bedrosian take the mound. These two are like the original Odd Couple, only you can't forget Mike Scioscia. The steam coming out of his ears makes for fab-u-lous television, but if you're a fantasy owner, relax! Thanks to baseball's…

Offseasons are all about deciding who is going to be the one to take the field for the first snap of the regular season. Some position battles stand out above the rest due to their fantasy upside. These are a few of the offseason position battles that will produce big time fantasy players Week 1 this season. Oklahoma Running Back Contenders: Abdul Adams, Rodney Anderson, Marcelias Sutton, Trey Sermon Oklahoma has produced some of the best NFL talents in the backfield with guys like Adrian Peterson and DeMarco Murray and…

Welcome to this weeks' edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper. Last week I profiled a backup running back playing for the Cowboys, named Darren McFadden, who could be a nice play should Ezekiel Elliott miss any time as a result of off-field incidents. This week I will be profiling a wide receiver who looks to be primed to inherit the number one receiver job in Chicago, after the departure of Alshon Jeffery, who left via free agency to go play for the Philadelphia Eagles. A Fantasy Football Sleeper is a player that is in a…

With the MLB non-waiver trade deadline slowly creeping up on July 31 at 4pm Eastern Time, teams are beginning the annual flurry of last minute trades. Some deals have already been made a few days before the deadline that could affect player values in fantasy leagues. Here are a few of the traded players with fantasy stocks rising or falling. (Note: Stats and numbers are as of July 28) Jaime Garcia   Garcia was shipped from Atlanta to Minnesota a few days ago as the Twins added an arm to their rotation in an attempt…
