Fantasy Baseball 2022 Preview: Bucketing Late-Round Hitters for Profit
It’s a fairly common occurrence for us in baseball drafts. On the clock in the 25th round of a 30-round draft and a bit of anxiety seeps in as you try deciding which player to select. You were more confident heading into the draft with all the prep, but these last few rounds have been grueling […]

Fantasy Baseball 2022 Preview: NFBC Roster Construction
Building a successful rotisserie team in fantasy baseball starts during the draft.

Inevitably, a player that I was targeting would be drafted earlier than I expected. I would […]

Fantasy Baseball 2022 Preview: Head-to-Head and Points Overview
Head-to-head leagues seem to be a constant source of ridicule in the fantasy baseball realm. That doesn’t mean you should believe the hype. My big-money home league is a H2H league. It is filled with hardcore fantasy baseball managers who have built up rivalries and trash-talking platforms over many years mainly due to the direct […]

Fantasy Baseball 2022 Preview: Seam-Shifted Sleepers
It’s always beneficial to find areas of information to leverage before the crowd does, and fantasy baseball is no different. The sooner you can weaponize new information, the more ahead of the curve you stay, the more you’re set up for success. Baseball may seem maddeningly random at times, but it’s no accident that the […]
