Time To Step it Up, Time To Get Aggressive

It’s time to shift strategy here, and get into end game mode. We’re past the halfway mark, with both the All Star break and the NBA Trade Deadline looming. Now one thing I can tell you about the trade deadline is that you’re going to hear a lot more chatter and a lot more rumors, [...]

Welcome Back Mr. Martin… We Missed Ya!

Before we get into today’s post, let me just say………….ahem……………..WELCOME BACK KEVIN MARTIN!! Wow we were REALLY sweating it there for a bit weren’t we. Those of you who went out on a limb and snagged ole Kevin on the cheapy cheap, this is your return on investment. For everyone else, it’s DECISION TIME. If [...]

Minutes + Stability = Production?

Today’s post isn’t going to be much of a post at all. Instead I’d like to point you in the direction of a fantastic article I read this morning on ESPN. John Cregan is a fantasy basketball analyst for ESPN and he issued a piece yesterday titled “Best, Worst rotations for Fantasy”. Inside he describes [...]

More Data Please!

Data data data, that’s the name of the game. As most of you already know, I created the Team Analyzer (aka Secret Sauce Calculator) by aggregating and manipulating a decades worth of fantasy basketball historical data. I feel good about the accuracy of the results for a standard league, and as I mention in the [...]

A Closer Look at the Top Tier

In case you haven’t been able to tell yet, I find it vitally important to clue you in as to exactly how I come across the various conclusions that I draw in fantasy sports. When I suggest a player as a buy low, or sell high, I do my best to show you my line [...]

I’ve updated the player rankings and Tiers through the most recent week. I’ve also published the scores for every player out there. Next to the current rank is last week’s rank too. Before you all tear me up, remember a few things. I tier players based off more than just what they’ve done for the [...]
