Contact Rate
 
While the true offensive busts of this fantasy season have been players who have been injured, there are still a number of people who have been healthy this year that have been major disappointments. Overall production might be down, but what about their contact rates? Can trends in contact rate be useful indicators of what this down season means? Below are some players who are ...

Proceed with Caution: The Fragile Five
 
There are few worse feelings than seeing one of your fantasy studs go down for a prolonged period of time with an early season injury. Just off the top of my head, jumping onto a bicycle without a seat and listening to Michael Bolton’s “Time, Love & Tenderness” may be the only more painful experiences than watching your season limp off the field. There is no guaranteed ...

Interception Rate
 
The Quarterback position on a fantasy team is extremely important, no matter what format you play in. A consistent QB, will score 20+ points for your fantasy team week in and week out, and on those days he explodes, unless you forgot to start the rest of your team, the week should be won with relative ease. Yet, a very under-looked aspect of drafting QBs in certain...

What's Taking So Long To Return?
 
Rafael Furcal had back surgery to correct a disc herniation in his Lumbar (lower) spine. When this is performed, there is weakness and instability that is created in the spine. The body needs to re-learn how to move again in functional patterns following an invasive procedure such as this. In addition, the wall of the disc (annulus) needs to scar over fully so that the actual disc itself does ...

Hail To The Thief
 
Comparing current MLB stats to Average Draft Position (ADP) is always interesting, and usually enlightening. When formulating a draft strategy for speed an owner needs to consider whether to concentrate the stolen bases in a few big threats or to spread them around. If the owner chooses to have one or two big SB threats then the next question is whether or not the owner is willing to spend an ...

The Closer Report
 
Just some updates on some shaky closer situations... The New York Mets say that Billy Wagner will remain on the disabled list for at least a portion, if not all, of next week.  So, Wagner owners, leave him on the bench.   Despite watching every game, there is no clear-cut option at closer.  Jerry Manuel has gone to Aaron Heilman most of the time, but tends to bring in lefties ...

Strategy Sessions - The Final Two Months
 
We can all agree that in order to win a fantasy baseball championship, it takes several things to break right.   We need to do some research in January and February.   We need to have a solid draft in March.   April and May need to be months where our drafted team provides us with a comfort level that proves "my team can compete."   June is a make or break month ...

Target Practice
 
             One constant across the sports landscape, both fantasy and professional, is the law of averages. Simply put, the law states that if a certain event is repeated enough times, a positive outcome will result. For example, if Samuel L. Jackson continues to appear in eight to ten motion pictures per year, the Academy ...

Yards Come Standard
 
For those of you in PPR leagues, it is all about the receptions. Wes Welker, T.J Houshmandzadeh, Reggie Wayne, Derrick Mason, Brandon Marshall and Jason Witten are a few of the leading pass catchers from last year. However, for those fantasy football purists out there who swear by standard leagues, yards and TDs are the only stats that matter for your pass catchers.
