Unlike football and basketball, where you can bank and project volume, baseball is different. Mike Trout, the consensus top player in the sport, has far less control over his outcome than […]

Overlooked pass-catching duos to target in fantasy
Wide receiver and tight end are both extremely deep in fantasy football this year. There are honestly 35-40 wideouts and 13 or 14 tight ends who I would be comfortable plugging into my fantasy lineup right now. The positions are arguably deeper than ever.
