A bad feeling crept into my stomach during Noah Syndergaard’s Phillies debut last Thursday night. It stuck with me until the game was mercifully cut short due to inclement weather in 5th inning. It’s not that I wasn’t excited for Thor’s debut – he was the Phillies biggest acquisition at the trade deadline. The team desperately needed starting pitching and …
You like cheesesteaks, right? Now imagine a world where your fantasy football previews are written like cheesesteak orders. That’s right, welcome to WizWitWill. I’m Will, and I’m here to help you win your league. That, or I am bringing you down with my team. Only time will tell. First, there will be a fun little anecdote having something to do …
No one reads Matthew Berry’s Love/Hate for the anecdotal openings. ARIZONA CARDINALS Kenyan Drake is a top 10 running back: Drake finished 2019 atop the Arizona depth chart, and, after seeing David Johnson shipped to Houston, finds himself steering the ship once again. In games where Drake saw 10 or more handoffs, the former Dolphin averaged 18.06 points per game. …
Welcome, dear reader, to the first (and decidedly poorly timed) installment of F Lot Fantasy! The concept is pretty straightforward: I’ll hit you with some juicy anecdotes that’ll make you laugh and cry, then I’ll spew my takes on the fantasy value of Eagles players you may be thinking of starting. I’ll go by position to keep things organized, and …
We are just 4 days away from the first game of the 2017 MLB season, and for baseball fans everywhere, that means the return of so many great things in life that baseball brings.

It can take fantasy football players weeks to choose their perfect team. You choose players that you are certain will perform as the season before they were top class. When the new season starts the play you though that was going to help you get to the top, has a poor season. You then have the tough decision should …
With three weeks of preseason NFL action in the books, it’s time to look at our weekly stock report based on what we are seeing unfold on the field. While it is important not to overreact to meaningless games (with injuries being a notable exception), evaluating what we are seeing and allowing that to help us craft an overall narrative about a …
Quick, pop quiz! Name the sophomore wideout who averaged roughly 8.5 fantasy points per game in standard-scoring leagues last season despite limited time, but following the departures of two of his team’s top offensive weapons now has the chance to lead his team in targets, receptions, and yards in 2015? If you said Jordan Matthews, you would be correct. And if you said Brandin Cooks, you would …
There are two things I look for in a late-round quarterback: season-long upside and an easy beginning-of-season schedule. Sam Bradford has both. Last year in Chip Kelly’s offense, Eagles’ quarterbacks combined for low-end QB1 production in fantasy football, compiling seven top-12 performances. And that was with a struggling Nick Folesand a guy coming off the bench in Mark Sanchez. Sanchez was especially effective, …
The spring of 2015 carried with it one of the more dramatic NFL offseasons in recent memory. One of the first moves made in March was Chip Kelly’s decision to send 2013 rushing title champion, Lesean McCoy, and the remainder of his contract, to the Buffalo Bills. Kelly was subsequently shunned by Frank Gore, leading Eagles fans to question Kelly’s sanity. Soon …
