Ryan Cook’s Draft Day Targets

Actual regular season baseball is great and everything, but there's something to be said for this time of year. I like to think of it as a time for the "dreamers," a time when mock drafts give us hope that we might be able to draft the perfect team in our real-life fantasy leagues, even though you and I both know that's never going to happen.Articles like these are fun because they make me look smart. Then in six months time when 75% of my draft day targets have mediocre seasons, it's your turn to look smart by saying "I…

Dynasty Dugout: First Base Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

After getting the mostly offensively deprived catcher position out of the way, we make a left turn, hop on I-95, and get off in Long Ball City. First base has always been known for its vast offensive numbers. From Albert Pujols, to Miguel Cabrera, to Paul Goldschmidt.

Last week we covered the top-25 fantasy outfielders for the 2018 season. However, the outfield position is so deep and there's no way I could fit in all I want/need to write about each player into just one article, so I decided to break up the outfield into three separate articles. In this article, we'll break down outfielders ranked 26-50.A lot of these players come with some sort of concern, whether it's injuries, track record, or lack of experience. However, there's no debating the talent each player possesses. After…

ESPN Player Rater Retrospective

It can often be difficult to place into context how well (or how poorly) certain players have performed recently. A glance at ESPN’s Player Rater, which attempts to quantify a player’s overall fantasy value by analyzing their performance in each facet of the game, can focus targets for fantasy owners looking for help on the waiver wire. Of course, when dealing with small sample sizes, a player’s results can be fluky, but placement at or near the top of these lists could be indicative of a substantive change to a player’s…
