Has JSN Already Won?

The NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year award has essentially become the honor for the best player in football who is not a quarterback. The MVP has been an almost exclusive quarterback award for years. Even historic seasons from Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Michael Thomas, and last year’s outstanding campaign by Ja’Marr Chase barely received serious MVP consideration. Instead, those players were recognized with Offensive Player of the Year honors.

Who's Closing in LA?

When fantasy managers are asked the question, “Who’s closing in LA?” the immediate response is usually simple. Edwin Díaz just signed a massive contract, and he will be the unquestioned endgame stopper for the Dodgers. But there is another Los Angeles team, and while they have not helped many fantasy rosters lately, they still need someone to handle the ninth inning. So the question becomes, “Who’s closing in LA—no, the other LA?” The answer is far from clear.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
