Re-Squeezing the Juiced - Investigating Second Breakouts From 2017

2017 was a strange year in baseball. The season shattered records and set new offensive bars for the sport as a whole, with speculation running rampant about MLB "juicing" the baseballs to create more excitement, with the end result being a home run surge that saw 1.26 home runs per game being hit - a […]

Earlier this season, I took a look at the early returns on this year's rookie class and made player comparisons as well as what I thought their short and long term potential would be.

Breakout Relievers Who'll Keep Succeeding in 2019

"Don't pay for saves." That has always been the advice repeated ad nauseum by veteran fantasy baseball players and while that sentiment is true on the surface, dealing with bullpens in fantasy baseball is a lot murkier in 2019 than it was in 2009.

Pleasant Statistical Surprises of the 2018-2019 Season

The Most Damaging Stats of the NBA Season

Drafting is an art in itself. It's a dance of sorts trying to fill in blanks pick to pick with the aim of crafting a coherent team that has a strategy to play towards. Projections and expectations are what we base our research and decisions on, and it's almost a necessity to plan around laying […]

The Rookie Report - An Early Look At This Year's Class (Part 2)

I took a look at last year's rookie class, analyzing their fantasy games and throwing out some comparables based on their stat spread and figured that now is a good time to take a look at this year's class with a similar lens. We're through only around a fifth of the season so the sample […]

NBA Crisis Management - Keeping Steady Through Tough Situations

Change vs. Regression: Field Goal Percentage

One of the most common ways for a player to be overrated or underrated in their season-long stats is field goal percentage, and one of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to that stat is not correctly evaluating the reasoning behind an over or under-performance in a player's shooting. While most of […]

First Week NBA Breakouts To Believe In

If you're reading this now, you probably already know not to make snap judgments in the first week of any season - crazy things can happen in small sample sizes and dropping players you drafted because of a couple bad games for someone who had one good game (BOBAN HYPE TRAIN?) is usually not a […]

He's an elite defender who has finished better than the 90th percentile in on/off opponents' point per possession numbers in his career, with […]
