Who says you can’t kill two birds with one stone? Or in this case, sink two players’ fantasy value at once. That’s exactly what happened when Thomas Jones signed with the Chiefs. Clearly any high that Jamaal Charles’ owners have been on following his impressive run at the end of the year came to an abrupt halt at the news of Jones’ signing. While I still think Charles will be ...
The free agent signings and trades have changed the complexion of the 2010 NFL draft. Here’s my fourth look at the first round of the draft:
1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
It appears as if Bradford’s decision to stay in school won’t cost him the No. 1 overall pick, after all. He bulked up for the combine, and as long as his shoulder checks out, he’ll be the No. ...

So you missed out on Dustin Pedroia or Hanley Ramirez. There are still plenty of runs out there. Elvis Andrus, SS, Texas Rangers With his speed and Texas’ offense, he should cross the plate often. Erick Aybar, SS, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Aybar scored 70 last year for the Halos, but I expect him to approach 90 runs in 2010.
Julio Borbon, OF, Texas Rangers Ditto Andrus. ...
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers
Holliday had 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. He’s up and down, but is a good option in daily leagues.
Jarrett Jack, Toronto Raptors
Jack had 20 points, 9 assists, and 4 steals. He ’s averaging 16.0 points and 4.4 assists over his past five games.
Jason Maxiell, Detroit Pistons
Maxiell played ...
Whenever your star closer breaks camp to have his surgically-repaired elbow looked at, all the excitement surrounding the start of a new year comes to a screeching halt.
The joy of finally having outdoor baseball in Minnesota again is replaced with the fear that they will suffer a similar fate as the Mets in their new ballpark.
For now they are just running some tests on the elbow, but is certainly is ...
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Chris Hunter, Golden State Warriors Hunter had 9 points and 13 rebounds. He hasn’t done much this year, but keep an eye on him to see if he can build from this.
D.J. Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats Augustin had 19 points against the Warriors. It was his third straight game in double-figures.
Quentin Richardson, Miami Heat ...

By landingáAnquan Boldin, whose fantasy value probably stays about the same given the upgrade from Matt Leinart to Joe Flacco, Baltimore is unlikely to take a WR in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Because Boldin had such a brilliant rookie season in 2003, he seems to be older than he actually is. HeÆll be 30 this year, and has plenty left in the tank. He can challenge Ray ...
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Carlos Delfino, Milwaukee Bucks
Delfino had 19 points and 6 rebounds against the Wizards. He’s been playing well of late.
JaVale McGee, Washington Wizards
McGee had a double-double (13 points, 11 rebounds). He’s a decent option in daily leagues if you need a big man.
Sonny Weems and Amir Johnson, Toronto Raptors
Weems had 20 points and 9 rebounds. Johnson ...

This Week’s Topic:Who’s the biggest bust of last summer’s free-agent class, and what will it take for him to turn it around next season?
My Response:The biggest bust of last summer’s free-agent class is Ben Gordon.
He signed a five-year $55 million contract to give the Pistons a scoring punch. The Pistons were ...
