Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Ben Wallace, Detroit PistonsWallace score 18 points with 6 rebounds. This is not a typical performance for Big Ben. His fantasy run appears over.
Marreese Speights, Philadelphia 76ersSpeights scored 21 points against the Pistons. He’s averaging 12.0 points over his past five games.
Jodie Meeks, Philadelphia 76ersMeeks added 19 points. Perhaps he will get some more run ...
Here’s a look at the unheralded players who played well yesterday.
Placido Polanco, Philadelphia Phillies Polanco hit just 10 HRs last year, but started out with a bang going 3-for-4 with a grand slam and six RBI. Hitting between Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley doesn’t hurt.
Ivan Rodriguez, Washington Nationals Pudge went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles. I’m not sure how much he has left in the ...
The McNabb trade certainly changes Washington’s direction with the No. 4 pick.
1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma His Pro Day only cemented the fact that the Rams are taking Bradford with the first pick.
2. Detroit Lions: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State Suh is an option, but protecting Matthew Stafford is the smart thing to do. Matt Millen would want Dez Bryant with or without shoes.
3. Tampa ...

Posted: 1st April 2010 by Ryan Lester in NBA
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Jordan Farmar, Los Angeles Lakers Farmar scored 16 points against the Hawks. He’s not a fantasy option.
Maurice Evans, Atlanta Hawks Evans countered with 18 points. He’s also not an option.
Rasual Butler, Los Angeles Clippers Butler scored 17 against the Raptors. He’s a good daily league option if you need some scoring.
Steve Blake, ...
Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Taj Gibson, Chicago BullsTaj kept chugging along with 14 points and 10 rebounds. He’s really a solid option right now.
Flip Murray, Chicago BullsFlip had 23 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. Consistency is an issue, but he’s a decent option in deep daily leagues.
Jerry Stackhouse, Milwaukee BucksStack had 16 points against the Clippers. He’s not ...
We’ve had some player movement that shook up my initial rankings. Here’s my second look at early 2010 fantasy football Running Back rankings.
1. Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings They said Peterson would have a hard time staying healthy. He has. They said he couldn’t catch the ball out of the backfield. He more than doubled his reception total last year with 43. They say he fumbles too much. Adrian Peterson ...
If you didn’t fill your outfield slots early, you can still find value later in the draft. Try these OFers on for size.
Rajai Davis, Nyjer Morgan, Juan Pierre, & Scott Podsednik Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, and Michael Bourne will garner most of the attention, as long as early draft selections, but his quartet should put up solid SB totals as well. None of them offer much pop, but ...

Wright had 16 points and six rebounds against the Bobcats. He’s not much of a fantasy option at this point.
DeJuan Blair, San Antonio Spurs

Courtney Lee, New Jersey Nets
Lee had 19 ...
