RotoScoop.com – The Scoop on Fantasy Sports

  • Mock Draft

    I know it’s baseball time, and I’ll have multiple “The Scoops” up this week, along with a different type of article (be on the lookout!) later Monday as well, but until then, here’s a fantasy football mock draft I was just in for you all to chew on in the meantime.

  • Best of 2009

    By Dalton Del Don It’s that time of year again – RotoScoop’s year-end lists. I know you’ve all been impatiently awaiting 2009’s version after last year’s was such a hit. As always, feel free to let me know what I got right, what I missed and what I got wrong in the comments. MOVIES Here…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don I hope Joey Votto ends up on a bunch of my teams this year. His overall numbers were suppressed last season since he took some time off dealing with depression, and while his BA is probably due for a bit of a dip, Votto possesses serious power potential. He more than…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don For those who took the over in the Jets/Colts game Sunday, what a difference a quarter makes. The game was scoreless at the end of the first quarter, yet the teams had totaled 30 points at halftime…What an effort by New York. Ironically, the last person to blame for the loss…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 2-2, making me 3-5 during the postseason. Here’s my outlook for the Championship games: Jets +8 at COLTS (Best Bet) VIKINGS +3.5 at Saints Comments: The Jets are no fluke, and turnovers could be the great equalizer, but this is a tough matchup for New York. Not…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Clayton Kershaw is just 21 years old, tossed more than seven innings in just one of his 30 starts last season and had the second-worst BB/9 (4.79) in all of baseball last year, and yet I’m having a hard time not ranking him as a top-10 fantasy starter for 2010 (his…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don What a performance by the Saints. I would have loved to see how the Packers would have fared (no doubt a much closer contest), but the Cards were also pretty unlucky losing both Antrel Rolle (concussion) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (knee) in the first quarter Saturday…I still like Beanie Wells plenty long-term,…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 1-3 to open the playoffs, making it a particularly bad time to happen to be in Reno. The Green Bay loss will be felt for some time. Here are my divisional picks, and beware, I actually feel pretty confident about them: CARDINALS +7 at Saints Ravens +6.5…

  • Baseball Draft

    I participated in a fantasy baseball draft Wednesday with a bunch of folks who have their own blogs. Here are the results: My final roster looked like this: C – Joe Mauer 1B – Pablo Sandoval 2B – Ian Kinsler 3B – Chipper Jones SS – Derek Jeter CI – Todd Helton MI – Rickie…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Funny, I backed the Jets ATS more than any team in the league this season and consistently proclaimed the Bengals would be “one-and-done” in the playoffs, yet picked Cincy last week. I’m an idiot…Leon Washington will enter the picture, but for 2010 fantasy drafts, I guarantee I’d draft Shonn Greene ahead…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 9-6-1 to close the regular season, making me 126-125-5 for 2009. Over the last three years, I’m 386-358. My best bet (Titans) pushed last week, leaving me an underwhelming 7-8-2 for the season. We’ll start fresh for the postseason: Jets +2.5 at Bengals Eagles +4 at Cowboys…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don It’s never easy to project next season just after this one ended, especially with a new coaching staff taking over, but you have to think Fred Jackson’s Week 17 performance put a stamp on him being Buffalo’s true workhorse moving forward. Marshawn Lynch’s presence still causes concern, dropping him from first…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, leaving me with a 117-119-4 record on the year. My best bet (the Pats) covered easily, making me 7-8-1 there. It’s been my worst year since I started picking every game ATS in 2007, but it’d be nice to finish with a record better than .500.…

  • NFL Barometer

    By Dalton Del Don RISERS Brian Westbrook, RB, PHI – Westbrook (concussion) returned to action Sunday for the first time since Week 10, seeing 23 snaps. He remains a huge injury risk and is unlikely to be a true workhorse like in years past, but if he’s truly back to 100 percent, the Eagles will…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Vince Young showed last Thursday he’s still far from a finished product, but with 40 rushing yards and a TD on the ground as well, the outing also revealed that even during a terrible passing performance, his fantasy floor remains high because of his running ability. Young will enter 2010 as…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 8-6-2, bringing my overall season record to 110-110-4. Like Jerry Seinfeld, I’m Even Steven entering Week 16. My best bet (KC) lost, making me 6-8-1 there on the year. Every single home team is favored this week until Sunday night’s game, and I really struggle with all…

  • NFL Barometer

    By Dalton Del Don RISERS Jerome Harrison, RB, CLE – Harrison and Chris Jennings have traded off as upgrades seemingly every other week for the past month, so Cleveland’s backfield usage is anything but predictable. After Harrison’s performance Sunday (286 rushing yards, three touchdowns), he should be the starter from here on out. The former…
