Last week, I rolled out my top sleepers for the coming season. Now it's time to temper my enthusiasm. Collectively, we fantasy owners can get too exuberant about certain players. Sometimes we put too much stock in an apparent breakout season. Other times, we don't give enough weight to the previous season's warning signs. Hidden trends can elude us. Whatever the reason, the hype around certain players can get overheated. I've listed 10 players who are particularly at risk of underperforming based on their average draft…

Over the last several weeks, we've ranked hundreds of hitters whose job it is to provide as much offense as possible. Actually, 276 to be exact. Now we dive into the men who get paid tens of millions of dollars a year to limit that offense. When it comes to pitching in fantasy baseball, everyone seems to have a different opinion.

(Note: Stats and numbers are as of July 28) Jaime Garcia   Garcia was shipped from Atlanta to Minnesota a few days ago as the Twins added an arm to their rotation in an attempt…

After two very subpar weeks of two-start pitchers, we have a much deeper pool to jump into this week. Though it isn't very heavy at the top, it is pretty deep with opportunities in just about every tier. That makes for some very exciting plays in leagues where you can stack these dual start pitchers in your lineup. If you are fortunate enough to have each tier covered, all the better! On the other hand, with so many options out there in multiple tiers, your opponents will also have the same opportunities to stack up. Keep…
