It’s also that time of year when I tell you not to do that. Sure, fantasy sleepers are fun to draft, but you’ll be wishing for a more established player when that sleeper is struggling in April. Plus, once you commit a relatively high pick to a sleeper, he becomes very tough to cut even when he’s being outperformed by waiver-wire players. 2016 FANTASY BASEBALL RANKINGS:First | Second | Short | Third | Outfield | Catchers | Starters | Relievers | Prospects...

Actually participating in mock drafts is arguably the best way to finalize your cheat sheets. You can try out different strategies, see how rankings’ tiers break down in real time, and test yourself in the face of adversity (i.e. “Crap, there go my top sleeper picks!”). 2016 FANTASY BASEBALL RANKINGS:First | Second | Short | Third | Outfield | Catchers | Starters | Relievers | Prospects Here are the latest ADP figures from the Mock Draft Army....

here’s a look at the Top 5 Women’s Singles contenders for that event: 1.Carolina Marin The past six months have proven to be a touch disappointing for Carolina Marin. The Spaniard has fallen at the semfinal stage of two global events- the Dubai Superseries Finals and the All England Championships- incidentally to the same opponent, Nozomi Okuhara of Japan, who after defeating Marin has gone on to win both titles....

Two-time NBA Finals MVP, LeBron James came up huge for a third straight game and helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win their first ever NBA title with a win in Game 7 over the defending champions, the Golden State Warriors. James recorded a triple double, his 7th of the Finals, with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals en route to helping his Cavaliers become the first team ever to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals....

[2] Toronto Raptors 90-100 [7] Indiana Pacers [Indiana leads series 1-0] For the third time in three years, the Toronto Raptors enter the first round of the Playoffs as the higher seed and for the third consective post-seeason they lose the first game at home. With the disappointing way they have lost Game 1’s in the last couple of years, you would think the Raptors would wanna exercise their demons and get a Game 1 win but a disastrous game by their All-Star back court duo didn’t help their chances....

Unfortunately you won’t find any any rookies here, as this year’s crop of first-year players is unlikely to yield any consistent fantasy producers, but there’s nothing wrong with “boring veterans”, as you’ll see below.

The top three is tough argue, even if you argue the exact order, but everything after that is up for debate. As we see every season, guys come out of nowhere, especially rookies, and “sure-fire picks” flop. Trying to predict how that’s going to go months before training camp can be an exercise in futility – but that’s not going to stop us from trying.

DeMarcus Cousins will not be featured on the list since he suffered a horrible injury that has ruined some NBA careers in the past, and he won’t return till early 2019. Therefore it’s too early to judge if he will be in form when he returns. I’ve done rankings of players before, but now it’s time to focus on the specific positions and see who are the best of each position....

Following the 2018 season, we took a look at the final fantasy rankings and top scorers and compared them to our own rankings and average draft position (ADP) stats from early in the season. We found a handful of big-time busts, and there were a few at every position. Some of these players will be easy to guess, but others may seem like afterthoughts. Of course, that’s due to the ever-changing nature of fantasy football, as in the preseason, these afterthoughts were considered to be potential starters by many....

It’s a shivers-down-the-back hypothetical that’s no longer a daydream heading into the 2018 Masters, which runs Thursday through Sunday and will be televised on CBS and ESPN with supplemental coverage from the Golf Channel’s “Golf Central Live from the Masters.” MORE: Woods finds it ‘kind of funny’ that he’s now a Masters favorite “There are no losers in this scenario,” Golf Channel analyst Justin Leonard told Sporting News. “But the biggest winner is the game of golf because [this tournament] is going to attract people into watching the game and hopefully those people will start playing again or take it up for the first time....

Westgate lists the Penguins at 6/1 to win the 2018 Stanley Cup, while the Oilers are at 9/1 odds after reaching the postseason for the first time in 11 years this past spring.

Houston Texans: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina There’s no Clowney question here. If they aren’t completely sold on the quarterbacks, the Texans can opt to snag a havoc-wreaking mate for J.J. Watt. St. Louis Rams: Greg Robinson, T, Auburn The Rams have a great trade commodity here no matter what happens at No. 1, but if they stay put, they can add Robinson’s athletic line prowess.
