NBA December- Who To Watch: Andre Drummond

           Who To Watch: Andre Drummond
                    (Detroit Pistons, Center)
                     December 2015-2016

        When writing about fantasy sports, I find it very easy to explain my thoughts, my ideas, and my plans to win. In fantasy football, you play to win the weekend. In other fantasy sports, like: basketball, baseball, hockey, etc., we have to have a similar mindset. Instead of win the weekend, it's win the entire week. From Sunday to Saturday, games are played everyday. We must be prepared to start, sit, pickup, and drop at any given moment.
        In some fantasy apps, players are given the opportunity to simply "auto-start" a lineup. But in fantasy sports, "auto" doesn't mean perfection. You can't trust it. Back in 2008, I attempted my first fantasy basketball league. I was very excited about it. I had only done fantasy football, so this was my first time owning a fantasy basketball team. I can't remember, but something happened that made me miss my online fantasy draft. I put my picks on auto-pick, thinking that the computer would draft me a better team than I could. Well, I was wrong. My first three picks were a free agent, an injured player, and a guy that shot a horrible percentage. Trust me when I say, don't trust the computer. 
        So far this season, we have seen one of the NBA's best players in Stephen Curry. It's no surprise that Curry is ranked #1 in fantasy basketball. He shoots a high percentage, while scoring 40+ points and racking up double-doubles every night. Finishing out the top 10 in fantasy are: Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kevin Durant, DeMarcus Cousins, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, and Blake Griffin. These guys are fantastic players both in real life and in fantasy. It's no shock to anyone that these guys are in the top 10. So let's take a look at some players that have increased their fantasy value. In this month's article, I'll be going over the good, the bad, and ways to win before the end the year of 2015. One of my favorite players in December's Who To Watch is Detroit Pistons' Center, Andre Drummond. 
        In fantasy basketball, points are not the only stay that matters. Rebounds and field goal percentage can increase your points change and gain you the lead. Andre Drummond is a three year veteran. He was drafted in 2012 by the Detroit Pistons in the 1st round, 9th Overall Pick. This season, the 6'11" center is averaging 18.3 points, 16.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. He's steadily shooting the ball with a .518 field goal percentage and a .380 free throw percentage. Looking at his stats, Detroit's big man is a must own in all leagues. With his increase in rebounds per game, his put-backs are steadily increasing his shooting percentage, as well. 
        To go along with Andre Drummond, there are plenty of other players that have surprised us this season. While many players have decreased their fantasy rank this season, I have chosen a few players from all over the top 100 fantasy players this season. Forcing their way to the top of the fantasy board, these guys have proven themselves to be starters in every fantasy lineup. 
Kyle Lowry (TOR • PG/SG) - The Toronto Raptors guard has shot a remarkable FG% of .416. Averaging 20.9 points, 6.2 assists, 4.9 rebounds per game, Lowry has created himself as a household name in Toronto and has become their go-to guy game after game. This will increase Lowry's fantasy value, giving him a higher chance to score more fantasy points through shooting percentage, 3-pointers made, and assists. Kyle Lowry is a buy low guard, right now. This means that you could trade to get him at a lower price than you will in a few months. 
Kristaps Porzingis (NY • PF/C) - The New York Knicks first round draft pick has lived up to the hype. Leading the Knicks in points and rebounds per game, the 7'3" rookie has led his team into the Eastern Conference top 15. Porzingis is averaging 13.3 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 2.0 BPG, and a shooting percentage of .418. Becoming more dependent down the stretch, I expect the Knicks to trust Kristaps more in the offense. This should increase his fantasy value tremendously, especially towards the end of the season. 
Karl-Anthony Towns (MIN • C/PF) - Not only one of the top rookies in the league, Karl-Anthony Towns has become one of the top fantasy players, as well. Averaging a double-double each game with a 15.9 PPG and 9.4 RPG. Along with these, he's shooting a high .534 FG% and a high .370 3P%. A great start for any roster. If he continues to play at such a high level, he'll be able to lead any fantasy team to the top. 
C.J. McCollum (POR • SG/PG) - Becoming one of Portland's go-to shooters, McCollum is becoming a fantasy super star. With a high, .438 shooting percentage, the Trailblazers' guard has forced his way in the top 15 fantasy players this season. He's averaging 20.4 PPG, 4.3 APG, and 3.7 RPG. When looking at the available players in your league, look for guys like C.J. McCollum to being a boost to your lineup. McCollum is a must start for the remainder of the season. 
Nicolas Batum (CHA • SF/SG) - Completely overlooked by many fantasy owners during the draft, Nicolas Batum has become a hot name at the shooting guard position, averaging 16.2 PPG, 5.1 APG, and 6.6 RPG. Charlotte has been leaning on their young star more in their offense, which has completely turned Batum into a rising star. Look for Batum to remain a top 10 shooting guard for the remainder of the season. Owned in only 70% of leagues, search for Batum as a sneaky pickup or as a buy-low trade. 
Will Barton (DEN • SG/SF) - One of my favorite players to watch in the NBA, Will Barton is continuing to develop his game. Coming off the bench, Will Barton is in the early running for 6th Man of the Year. He's averaging 15.8 PPG, 2.5 APG, and 6.0 RPG this season. The former Memphis Tiger entered the season only 5% owned. Barton is a still available in most leagues; he'll be a great fantasy player down the stretch, as the Denver Nuggets will continue to feed him the ball. 
         There are plenty of players that are performing at a high level. It is crucial for you to continue to check percentages and averages of your players and of the players that are available in your league. Now, there are a few players that I have lost faith in. I'm loosing interest in some more than others, but here are a few to keep an eye on entering the heart of the NBA season. 
Derrick Rose (CHI • PG) - Owned in over 90% of fantasy leagues; Rose has been held at a high expectation by many fantasy owners this season. Derrick Rose was, at one time, one of the best point guards in fantasy. The current Derrick Rose is too injury prone. Shooting an below average .386 FG% and .246 3P%, Rose is exactly that - below average. As for owning him, I don't want to hold my breath every time he goes up for a layup. Without question, Rose is droppable. 
Kyle Korver (ATL • SF/SG) - Known for being a great shooter, Kyle Korver is one of my favorite NBA players, but fantasy is not about playing your favorites. It's about playing to win. Korver is a great shooter; this is why the Hawks lean on Korver as a huge part of their offense. He's only averaging 9.7 PPG, 2.1 APG, and 3.7 RPG. The Hawks making Korver force up bad shots is not good for your fantasy team. 
Zach Randolph (MEM • PF) - One of the faces for Memphis' Grit & Grind offense, the power forward has almost been completely lost in their offense. Memphis has transitioned their offensive game plan from feeding Zach and Marc on the block to forcing pick & rolls with Conley and Gasol. Randolph has slowly been decreasing his numbers, and I expect them to continue in that direction. The Grizz know that they need to shoot from the outside more in order to contend in a fast-pace league. 
Monta Ellis (IND • PG/SG) - The Indiana Pacers' guard was projected to be in the top 25, coming into the season. He has been shooting poorly with a .434 FG% and a .300 3P%. This has dropped his fantasy value to outside of the top 100. With that said, there are plenty of guards playing at a high level; Monta Ellis is droppable in all leagues. 
Kobe Bryant (LAL • SG) - In his final season, Kobe Bryant has shown his fatigue. He remains a great shooter, even though his numbers do not show it. He's been forcing his shots, as seen in his poor shooting performance this season, averaging .343 FG%, .785 FT%, and .256 3P%. Entering into the heart of the NBA season, I expect for Kobe's age, fatigue, and old injuries to hit him hard. Look for him to sit out a few more games, slow down on the court, and shoot a lower percentage. It's not looking good for the fantasy value of Kobe Bryant, which makes him droppable.
        Keep in mind that this doesn't mean you need to completely drop one of these players. There are a lot of players performing well this season. We need to continue to monitor these young players as they develop their game. Keep an eye on the teams that are looking to shake up their starting lineup; it could result in less playing time for many of the well-known players, like: Monta Ellis, Josh Smith, Paul Pierce, and Kobe Bryant. Continuing to check your players stats and changes are crucial to surviving fantasy basketball.

NBA November - Who To Watch: Kristaps Porzingis

           Who To Watch: Kristaps Porzingis
        (New York Knicks • Forward/Center)
                 November 2015-2016

        When playing fantasy basketball, many players want to get the biggest names and the guys that take all the shots. Well, unlike other fantasy sports, basketball is all about statistics. In fact, many fantasy players that are good at fantasy baseball are good at basketball, too. Like baseball, it's all about percentages. 
        So many fantasy players get tempted to draft big names guys, like: Kobe Bryant or Derrick Rose, but those guys will ruin your fantasy season right from the start. Guys that I like to pickup in my NBA draft are the more role-specific players. Players, like: Mike Conley, Klay Thompson, and Serge Ibaka, are more likely to win you the season. Don't get me wrong, points are important, but points aren't the only stat that counts in fantasy. Similar to baseball player's batting average, NBA players have free throw percentage, field goal percentage, and 3-point percentage. While many leagues are set up different, you have to keep in mind that your all star player, like a Carmelo Anthony, can be a great basketball player but a horrible fantasy player. Taking 80 shots might sound great, but if he only makes 12 of those shots, his percentage kills you. Sometimes it is best to draft the role players, 3-point specialists, lock-down defensive players, and rebounders. 
Personally, I like to grab players that have the higher chance of having a double-double every night. Looking at it this way, guys like LeBron and Kobe are no longer the best in the NBA. I believe the best in NBA fantasy basketball are Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Stephen Curry, Rajon Rondo, and Russell Westbrook. They're hardly hurt; they put up double-doubles consistently; and they shoot for high percentages. Along with these, one of my favorite players for fantasy this year is my Who To Watch for the start of the NBA season in the month of November, New York Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis. 
        Entering into the 2015-2016 NBA season, the New York Knicks are are extremely excited about their rookie forward, Kristaps Porzingis. The 7'3", 240 lb Latvian star was selected by the New York Knicks as the 4th overall pick in the 1st round of the 2015 NBA Draft. Only 20 years old, the young rookie has been praised by the scouts, coaches, and Knicks teammates, especially from Knicks' all star, Carmelo Anthony. Looking like a young Dirk Nowitzki, Porzingis will be a definite sleeper this season; he'll win a ton of championships this season. Looking ahead, Kristaps is a great draft pick for any keeper or dynasty leagues. To me, he looks like the Knicks' franchise player.

A Christmas Story

To My League: The Quest For Tayla

'Twas the night before Christmas 
And all through my team
Not a player was healthy
Not even AJ Green

My roster so cluttered
With Qs and with Os
In hopes that the waiver
Would cure all my woes 

Yet all of the injuries
Will continue this week
Dreams of TheTayla 
Whom I'll have for one last week

My friends in the league
All mopey and sad
Nightmares from the weeks
When I beat them so bad

Then quickly and suddenly 
There arose such a sound
That I sprang from my couch
To see what was around

Quickly to my phone
I flew like the Flash
Swiped straight to the right
And discovered at last

A glistening and gleaming 
Sweet sound had revealed 
I giggled, I laughed
I snorted, I squealed 

And there right before me
My fantasy app was providin'
The matchup for last place
Would be Chops vs. Holden

Of course, it doesn't matter
Who I start or I sit
My dreams of winning TheTayla
Was flushed like a shit

I'll piece it together
I'll search and I'll find
A way to win again
For TheTayla will be mine

Next season, I won't loose
I'll remain in the lead
On Alshon! On Lacy! 
On Palmer and Snead! 

I don't care who I drop
No move will be a mistake 
Next year's main goal
Is to beat the shit out of Jake

Now don't get butt-hurt
The only one who'll need lube
He might look like Shaggy
But we know him as Scoob

Now as for Benny and Beej
And the rest of you scum
Get your faces ready
For all of my team's cum

To my friends in the league
I send this with love
Merry Christmas to all
And forget what I said above

Wk 16- Who To Watch: Championship Week

Who To Watch: The Championship Week
Week 16

        Similar to last week's article, this week's Who To Watch will be completely different from the previous articles I've posted during this season. We can no longer pickup guys that you think may have potential; it's time to win and win now. In this week's article, I want to go over the games, the matchups, the players I like and dislike, and the star players to sit. You heard me right. You might have to sit one of your top draft picks this week.

        Before we get into it, I'd like to explain the importance of this week. Not only is this week the Championship for many fantasy leagues, but it is also one of the last two weeks in the NFL's regular season. For many NFL teams, they know their season is over; for some, they know they're in the playoffs. These teams should scare fantasy owners. Why? Because these teams are simply trying to get through these two weeks injury free for the playoffs or for next season. Some teams may sit their stars for the whole game or play their stars for a limited time. So that star player that you've been riding all year could, potentially, be the reason you fail to bring home the trophy this weekend. So take a look at the matchups, take a look at your players, and ask yourself: will my RB1 play the whole game? Will my defense start all of their playmakers? These are the questions that you must ask yourself before setting your lineup this week.

Wk 15- Who To Watch: Playoffs

            Who To Watch: Playoffs
                       Week 15

        PLAYOFFS! Well, it's finally here. In the fantasy season, your playoff lineup is very important. My advice this week is going to be a little different. It's very important to start your studs, sit the guys that have bad matchups, and stream your kickers and D/STs. I know it might sound crazy, but after you read this article, you'll understand. In this week's Who To Watch, my plan is to go over the matchups and explain my thoughts on who to sit and who to start. This can win you the week and ultimately the championship. Also, at the end of the article, I will be writing for those of you that are not in the playoffs and are in Dynasty or deep Keeper Leagues; going over the young players that I love for next year. 

*Note: When we're looking at each team in this week's matchups, I'm going to save time and go over the players I'm most interested in. Well, it's a big week; let's get started.

      Who Else To Look At For Next Year
              (Dynasty, Deep Keepers)


Quarterbacks 
Jameis Winston (TB • QB) - He has shown a ton of potential this year; he has the chance to be the franchise QB

Marcus Mariota (TEN • QB) - Another young all star; he has the potential to be a fantastic fantasy QB

Blake Bortles (JAX • QB) - Jags' franchise QB; he put up great numbers this year. Jacksonville will have a dominate team next year

Brock Osweiler (DEN • QB) - He has the possibility of being Denver's new-look; depends on Manning

Derek Carr (OAK • QB) - A young QB in a young offense; Oakland will be dangerous for the next few years


Running Backs
Thomas Rawls (SEA • RB) - Could be the starter for Seattle in 2016

Dion Lewis (NE • RB) - Looks to be the No. 1 back for Patriots in 2016

Shaun Draughn (SF • RB) - Looks to be No. 1 RB for 49ers next year

Charcandrick West (KC • RB) - He will be the starter for some team next year

Jay Ajayi (MIA • RB) - He will likely be the starter for Miami in 2016

David Cobb (TEN • RB) - If healthy, he will be the No. 1 RB for Tennessee 

Matt Jones (WAS • RB) - Looks to be No. 1 RB in Washington

David Johnson (ARZ • RB) - He should be the starter for Arizona in 2016

Duke Johnson Jr. (CLE • RB) - Should be the starter for Cleveland in 2016

Wide Receivers
Dorial Green-Beckham (TEN • WR) - Great talent in a young offense; he is ending the season as one of Mariota's favorite targets

Ty Montgomery (GB • WR) - In a pass dominant offense, Rodgers like Montgomery a lot which gives him a ton of upside for next year

Jeff Janis (GB • WR) - One of the most physically talented wideouts in Green Bay, he should be in the top 3 of WRs in Green Bay next year; as soon as Rodgers trusts Janis, Janis will be a top 10 fantasy WR

Ted Ginn Jr. (CAR • WR) - Ending the season as Cam Newton's go-to receiver; gives him a ton of upside for 2016

Devin Funchess (CAR • WR) - The most exciting WR for Carolina; gives us hope for next year; if Newton and Funchess connect during offseason, Funchess will be a top tier WR next season

Tavon Austin (STL • WR) - Austin and Gurley are the only offensive playmakers in St. Louis; St. Louis will look to develop their offense around these two next season

Kamar Aiken (BAL • WR) - Ending the season as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver 

Devante Parker (MIA • WR) - He and Landry will be a big part of Miami's offense next year

Tight Ends
Richard Rodgers (GB • TE) - A young Finely; Richard has become a top target for Aaron Rodgers; it will continue in 2016 

Clive Walford (OAK • TE) - Carr, Cooper, Murray, and Walford are the four keys to the Raiders' future

Zach Miller (CHI • TE) - A new addition to Jay Cutler's favorite targets; could be a top tier TE in 2016

Wk 14- Who To Watch: Richard Rodgers

         Who To Watch: Richard Rodgers
          (Green Bay Packers, Tight End)
                           Week 14

        In the game of fantasy football, there is one position that is completely overlooked. While many fantasy players focus on their quarterbacks, running backs, and wideouts, not that many are looking at their tight end. By the end of the week, your tight end will either win or end your matchup each week without you noticing. We all know who the best two TEs are in fantasy - Rob Gronkowski and Greg Olsen. But there are a few other players that put up the same numbers as these two, but they're also completely overlooked. I find that many fantasy owners just throw in a popular named player, like Vernon Davis or Jason Witten, and end up loosing because of their low performance. This week is especially important, and we, as fantasy owners, need to have a big week from everyone on our roster in order to get into the playoffs or win the first round. One tight end that is like to talk about this week is Richard Rodgers, My Who To Watch for Week 14. 
        Richard Rodgers went to the University of California. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft as the 3rd Round, 98th pick. In his draft profile, Rodgers was most known for his ability to block. One of his flaws was that he had trouble running routes. Last season, Richard Rodgers put up some low numbers in his rookie year; catching 20 balls for 225 yards and only 2 touchdowns. In 2014, Rodgers has not been able to become fantasy relevant; he finished the season with average numbers in targets, yardage, and touchdowns. Completing against Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and DeVonte Adams, the rookie tight end couldn't make a name for himself in the fantasy word. 
        Entering into the 2015 season, Richard Rodgers was a low ranked tight end during preseason. With the loss of Jordy Nelson, all eyes turned to Cobb and Adams. Although everyone knows the Packers love throwing to their TEs, we didn't see this coming. Richard Rodgers has been targeted more and has had 48 receptions through 13 weeks. Totaling 439 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, Richard Rodgers has become Aaron Rodgers most reliable target. Only owned in 42% of leagues, Richard Rodgers is the best, most available tight end out there. This week against the Dallas Cowboys, Rodgers is priced at $3,900 in Daily Fantasy. Most fantasy players have been starting guys like Olsen, Eifert, or Chandler at tight end, but those who started R. Rodgers at TE won the week. He's going to have another great performance this week. 


      Who Else To Watch in Week 14

Ryan Fitzpatrick (NYJ • QB) - The Jets have been playing great this season, led by a dominant defense, a great running back, two outstanding wideouts, and a solid QB. Going up against the Tennessee Titans for week 14, Fitzpatrick is a QB on fire. Throwing 36/50 for 390 yards and 2 TDs last week against Giants, FitzMagic put up his 2nd game in a row where he's had over 25 fantasy points. Only 44% owned in standard leagues, Jets' QB is a wonderful streamer. Also, priced at $5,400 in DFS, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a great, ideal start for any Daily lineup. 

Jameis Winston (TB • QB) - Tampa Bay has found their franchise player. Winston is another QB that's on fire. Throwing for 18/27, 227 yards, and a touchdown last week, Winston played great against a good defense in Atlanta. This week, Jameis is only 40% owned, which surprises me. He's going up against one of the worst defenses in the league, the New Orleans Saints; this week Tampa Bay will have a fully healthy offense, which gives their No. 1 pick every weapon to use for Sunday. Priced at $5,500, Winston is my start at QB in DFS. I rank him in the top 5 of QBs again this week. 

Tyrod Taylor (BUF • QB) - Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills have been playing better as of late. Taylor, coming off a good performance last week, has been dropped in many leagues. He's only 35% owned. I expect Buffalo to rely on the run more in the first half against Philadelphia, which will force the Bills' offense to throw the ball in the second. I believe LeSean McCoy will be a top 3 RB this week, Sammy Watkins will have another unexpectedly high week, and Tyrod Taylor will have another great game with 18+ points. Priced at $5,400, Taylor is a great start in Daily Fantasy. 

James White (NE • RB) - Coming off his best performance, White is moving up in the fantasy world. His value was high when Dion Lewis went down with his season-ending injury; but like I said, Belichick will have to learn to trust the halfback before relying on him in a game. It's taken a few weeks, but I believe Brady and Belichick are ready to use the young back. He'll be a great FLEX option in PPR scoring. However, I'm not ready to trust White in standard scoring; he has a very low floor with a sky high upside. If you have better options, take them. 26% owned in standard leagues, White is available for those heading into their playoff weeks. He's priced at $4,100 in DFS for this week's matchup against the Houston Texans. 

Darren Sproles (PHI • RB) - As one of my sneakiest adds and starts this week, Darren Sproles is startable in every format. With DeMarco Murray's unhappiness, Sproles will get more snaps. This week against Buffalo, Murray will struggle to make the big plays; especially with the nonexistent receivers in Philly, Sproles will be the man this week. Only 41% owned, he's still available. If you are looking for a sneaky start in DFS or a playoff, hail marry at the FLEX, Darren Sproles is your guy. His price in DFS is $3,500.

C.J. Spiller (NO • RB) - With Mark Ingram shoulder injured, CJ Spiller will be the man! Tim Hightower will get some looks, but it shouldn't matter. Because of Ingram's high number of touches, Spiller will be a high RB2 rest of season. Only 52% owned, go for it. Priced at $3,000 in DFS, Spiller is a great start this week against Tampa Bay. 

Ted Ginn Jr. (CAR • WR) - Only 36% owned, getting the most targets from Cam Newton, and the No. 1 WR in Carolina, Ted Ginn Jr. is a must pickup and a WR2 start this week against a struggling Atlanta Falcons. Many experts have been telling us to not trust him, but my question to them is why not? If Cam continues to trust the man, then so do I. Priced at $3,700 in DFS, Ted Ginn is a No. 1 receiver, who's priced as a WR3. A solid start with a ton of upside; I like Ginn this week. 

DeVante Parker (MIA • WR) - Coming off a couple of solid performances, Parker has become an above average wideout in fantasy. With Miami's shaky offense, Parker is a boom-or-bust WR3. Only 30% owned, he's still widely available. Entering into a likable matchup this week against the New York Giants, Parker could have a high number of targets. Priced at $4,000 in DFS, the Dolphin wideout could either win you the week or be the reason you lose.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TB • TE) - Finally healthy, ASJ is a top 5 tight end rest of season. With Winston having the hot hand, I look for ASJ to get a few more targets this week against the horrible Saints' defense. Only 36% owned, the tight end is still available. He has a huge opportunity to become Tampa Bay's main RedZone target. Priced at $2,700, ASJ will be one of the favorites at TE this week in Daily Fantasy. 

Zach Ertz (PHI • TE) - Becoming one of the most reliable TEs in the league, Ertz is a great start at tight end this week. Roughly 50% owned; if Ertz is there, pick him up. I'd start him over Witten, Ebron, and Clay. He's in my top 5 of tight ends this week. Priced at $2,600 in DFS, Zach Ertz is a great start this week against Buffalo.
