Fanduel College Basketball Lineups 2/28

Posted on by Jourdan Case
DeShaun Thomas will help your CBB Daily Fantasy bottom line.

Posted on by Davis Mattek
2013 fantasy baseball rankings

How you feel about starting pitchers in relation to the rest of the 2013 fantasy baseball rankings determines the type of fantasy baseball player you are. None of my roto baseball teams will include Steven Strasburg, Justin Verlander or any other top tier pitcher. Hitting is such a scare commodity, specifically with homeruns, that wasting a pick in the first five rounds on a pitcher just is not worth it. There are hundreds of pitchers who will start against weak offenses and be available for…
