For wrestling, I think 2024 will be remembered as a year where change became more certain. The year began with perhaps the final separation of Vince McMahon and WWE, as he resigned from the newly-merged TKO amidst public outcry and continued allegations. We also saw a full year of AEW attempting to move on from the continuing ghosts of CM Punk and backstage scandals. Outside the two largest companies, other brands like TNA and NJPW also made strides to carve out their own roles in a very congested wrestling scene. Today I break down my picks for the best of…

College football heads towards its Championship Week with one more bout of lunacy. The ACC took the big dive this week, with a loss for both Miami and Clemson. Miami’s loss to unranked Syracuse especially seems to have sealed their fate in missing the College Football Playoff completely. Meanwhile, it has all but guaranteed the Big 12 Champion will be allowed to dance. Now, the rest of the college landscape locks in on games that will decide seeding, and the last few spots up for grabs in the 2024 College Football Playoff. Will the selection committee even consider the outcome…

For all the spotlight the surprising Minnesota Twins got last year, somehow most of that shine missed Ryan Jeffers. By all respects, you could call 2023 the Ryan Jeffers fantasy baseball breakout, with a WAR of 3.3, OPS of .858, and a BA of .276. However, the reason Jeffers is considered our “sleeper” for 2024 is that nobody seems to think that indicates future performance for him. Click here for the best fantasy baseball team names for 2024!

In looking for a breakout player in fantasy baseball’s most stacked position, it’s really about finding a good player that people sleep on rather than finding a diamond in the rough. That pretty much summarizes the value of the Chicago Cubs’ Seiya Suzuki for the 2024 fantasy baseball season. Click here for the best fantasy baseball team names for 2024!

The case for Seattle Mariner Andres Munoz to be a fantasy breakout is simply one of exposure. Munoz had an incredible 2022 as the Mariners set up man, with an ERA of 2.50 and a K per 9 of close to 14 while only being 25. However, last year he was only so-so when given the nod to fully overtake Paul Sewald as the closer in Seattle. So, what do we make of the Andres Munoz fantasy baseball value for 2024?

It takes a long time for a Tampa Bay Rays player to shake off the vibe that their success is more about their value than the team’s “secret formula” to success. And perhaps that’s why Isaac Paredes doesn’t jump out to fantasy baseball owners immediately. However, at a closer look, Isaac Parades could be a 2024 fantasy baseball breakout candidate at third base. Click here for the best fantasy baseball team names for 2024! Isaac Paredes Fantasy Baseball Breakout Candidate Isaac Paredes is the fill-in for Wander Franco Jr’s exit from the league. Paredes finished a full season’s value with…

The Cincinnati Reds were a Cinderella story in 2023, and perhaps the most underappreciated piece of that was Matt McLain. I want to be clear here, people know about McLain, but perhaps we’re still undervaluing the young stud for fantasy. Below, we’ll discuss why the Matt McLain fantasy baseball value is high for 2024. In fact, he could be a breakout player for your team. Click here for the best fantasy baseball team names for 2024!
