Will Joakim Noah Rebound in New York?
The addition of Derrick Rose was a deal that left a massive hole in the defense of the Knicks.

While it's exciting to... Read More
Thad Young and the New Look Pacers
If adding Jeff Teague wasn't enough, the Pacers traded their 20th pick and future second round pick on draft night to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for 28-year old forward, Thaddeus Young.

MLB DFS - Lineup Advice, Picks, and Sleepers for DraftKings 9/10/15
There are eight games this Thursday, September 10th, and paying high for pitching will be unnecessary.

All of my options that I have... Read More

Fantasy baseball has been a game that I distanced myself from for nearly my entire fantasy career.
