Fantasy rankings: Towns jumps past Curry into top three

It went from Kevin Durant leaving Oklahoma City for Western Conference rival Golden State, to Tim Duncan deciding to join Kobe Bryant in retirement, to an assortment of high-profile coaching changes, to the U.S. taking home an Olympic gold in Rio. And we haven’t even mentioned the infusion of talent the June draft added to […]

Biggest risers, fallers in key fantasy basketball categories

At this point, Ellis probably only has a few years left in the league, and it’s safe to say that his days as a valuable fantasy option are over. Today, however, we don’t want to focus on the aging players. Instead, we want to go around the league and highlight the players in the prime […]

Lillard overtakes LeBron in rest-of-season fantasy rankings

These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means that players who excel in one or two categories will be ranked higher and those who fail miserably in percentages will be ranked lower than they would be in a points system. So, a 3-point specialist such as J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a […]

Draymond Green disputes LeBron James’ avowal that Warriors, Cavs aren’t rivals

OAKLAND, Calif. — After the Warriors served the Cleveland Cavaliers up with a 126-91 thumping Monday night, vocal Golden State leader Draymond Green disagreed with LeBron James‘ assertion that the teams aren’t rivals. “Yeah, I think this is a rivalry,” Green said quickly, not allowing a reporter to finish his question. “It’s definitely fun.

The case for Kevin Durant over Russell Westbrook in fantasy

When it comes to our high-profile couples, that unfortunate question is hard-wired into humanity. A super-couple torn apart. Shudders. Splits. Despite all of the pairing’s obvious symbiotic benefits. Post-schism pontification immediately shifts to who’s winning and who’s losing. It happens in sports, too. When I was a younger, thinner fantasy enthusiast? It was Kobe and […]

Brandon Jennings seems to mock Harrison Barnes for barely playing on Team USA

A fan then countered that Barnes at least made the Olympic team, to which Jennings replied that Barnes only made the 12-man roster because several notable star players — including LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook and James Harden — stayed home from Rio. After Team USA had all but clinched the gold-medal game against […]

Joe Kaiser’s ultimate draft board

It’s hard to argue with that. But as auctions become the way to go in many fantasy leagues in 2016, they also require much more time — sometimes around 3.5 hours in baseball leagues with large rosters — and over two hours in fantasy basketball and football leagues.
