Welcome to the Shack!
Fantasy Sports Shack is a place for stats, opinions, information and links to the important stuff that will help you win a fantasy title, with a focus on football and baseball.
I’m a stats guy. I want to know what a player has done for the last few years, their trends and projections for this year. I want to know sleepers who are going to make a difference, rookies who will shine and veterans who will bounce back. I want to know it before the next guy (or girl – the Shack doesn’t discriminate!), and I want to share it with you!
I’ve been playing fantasy sports for almost 15 years, on a number of platforms with a variety of people, and not to boast, but I do okay (3-peat in an uber-competitive baseball league, 5 straight top 3 finish in competitive football). Just want to let you know I’m not yanking your chain when I offer my opinion. And that’s what I’m here to do, give you my opinion.
My opinion is what the Fantasy Sports Shack is all about. I’ll give you mine, so don’t be afraid to give me yours.
Great predictions! 70% success using nothing but obscure players. Keep it up, my fantasy team needs the points!
