Regardless of your views on when to draft pitchers, every team needs them, and you have to draft them at some point. It’s great if you’ve spent hours on rankings and sleepers, but let’s face it – the real decision that must be made with pitchers is when to draft your first one or two. 2016 FANTASY BASEBALL RANKINGS:First | Second | Short | Third | Outfield | Catchers | Starters | Relievers | Prospects...
After Kershaw, you can argue for a lot of different guys at No. 2 (and No. 3, and No. 4 …), but no matter who you like, you could easily go 20 deep and feel good about whoever you get as your No. 1. Doing the math, that means most of your 12-team league should feel good about his or her No. 2 starter, too. This position is loaded, and there are plenty of ways to devise a draft strategy that nets a solid pitching staff whether you start with the following five pitchers or not....
Alright, moment of reflection over. Whether we like it or not, kickers are a part of most fantasy leagues, which means we need to research them as we would players at any other position…or, you know, at least add the rankings to the end of our cheat sheets, try to highlight a few sleepers, and come up with a draft strategy that doesn’t involve getting made fun of by our fellow drafters....

Zhou shrugged. “I’ve been growing all these years,” he said. “Consistently growing.” O’CONNOR: Who each lottery team should take No. 1 If there are some aspects of Zhou, who is 20 and hails from China, that are lost in translation, the consistent growing is not one. Zhou measured in at 7-1.25 here at the predraft combine, with a wingspan of 7-7.75, biggest among draft prospects. The downside, though, is that Zhou weighed in at only 218 pounds, which is incredibly thin for a player his height....

Prescott, who was the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Elliott, who led the NFL in rushing, helped Dallas go from 4-12 to claiming the top seed in the NFC playoffs.

Croatia dominated possession in the entire game, won the midfield battle against France but were unable to penetrate the strong French defense consisting of Umtiti and Varane effectively. Rakitic, Modric, and Perisic looked threatening and their pace, dribbling skills and passing abilities kept this match alive for Croatia. France, on the other hand, defended well and played counter-attacking football by using Giroud to shield the ball from the Croatian defense and Mbappe and Griezmann to run behind them....

The opposing Secondaries will have some difficulty lining up with them....
