Jeremy Lin has already become one of, if not, the biggest name in daily fantasy basketball this year! Every night, he seems to be going for 20+ points and 8+ assists. Every time you put your fantasy basketball roster together, he should be on there, no question about it. In our latest fantasy sports podcast, Zac Fluewelling and I (Dave Lawson), talk about whether or not now would be a good time for fantasy managers to trade Jeremy Lin for other big name super stars around the NBA. We also discuss big names for 2012 fantasy baseball and the type of years we think those players will have. Get on over to Weeklyfantasysportal.com and check out the podcast conversation.

We will also be having an All-Star fantasy basketball game during All-Star weekend, so be sure not to miss out and get your lineups in for that day. We hope to add a little bit of excitement to All-Star weekend by offering you a chance to earn some extra cash while watching exciting basketball between the league’s best players.

Kevin Durant continues to be fantasy basketball’s #1 ranked player. He put up 51 points last night in an overtime win against the Denver Nuggets. LeBron James is still the second ranked player in all of fantasy basketball as he flirts with a triple double night in and night out. James is a consistent source of points, rebounds and assists. If it weren’t for Kevin Durant playing so well right now, LeBron James would be the #1 ranked guy.

Kevin Durant is the number one guy right now in weekly fantasy basketball games. He is averaging 27 points and 8 rebounds a night on top of a .505 field goal percentage. LeBron James is the second ranked player in all of fantasy basketball averaging nearly a triple double a game (28/8/7) on a .538 field goal percentage for the year. I would roll with either of these two All-Stars in weekly salary cap fantasy basketball games every time!

I would also pay for the cheap services of Nikola Pekovic. He has been putting up solid scoring and rebound numbers ever since being inserted into the starting lineup. Darko Milicic got hurt and Nikola got his chance. Even when Milicic comes back, Rick Adelman is saying he might just keep Pekovic in the starting rotation. Pekovic’s season averages rest at 10.8 points and 6 rebounds and they are trending upward. He is also shooting a .630 field goal percentage, so the guy is efficient. In salary cap fantasy basketball games he won’t be too much to afford, so go ahead and pay the cheap price for him, he’ll give you some good value points which could help lead to your cash prize.

Other cheap salary cap fantasy basketball players that can really bring in the points include names like Jeremy Lin, Marcus Camby, Drew Gooden, Ramon Sessions, Randy Foye, Jodie Meeks, Trevor Ariza, Channing Frye and Gordon Hayward. All these guys are not too expensive yet they can bring in the points like some of the more pricier guys.

It looks like we get to see the Giants and Patriots in yet another super bowl game. The 2012 fantasy football season is finally winding down to a close with the super bowl and pro bowl being the last two games of the fantasy season. Those of you in the fantasy football playoff challenge games are reaping good benefits if you chose any Patriots or Giants players.

Sunday against the 49ers, Eli Manning completed 32 passes on 58 attempts for 316 yards, 2 touchdowns and no picks. Joe Flacco tried his hardest and led the day with Eli Manning, throwing for 306/2/1. Had Lee Evans held onto that late second touchdown pass from Joe Flacco like a falling baby, then maybe we’d be seeing the Ravens and Giants on Super Bowl Sunday instead, but oh well, that’s football for you.

Victor Cruz, once again, had yet another stellar outing. He caught 10 clutch balls for 142 yards. Vernon Davis also showed up to play once again, catching only 3 passes, but for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had a long of 73 yards. Finally, VD’s speed is being utilized the way we all envisioned on his draft day! Anquan Boldin tried desperately to get his team in scoring position late in the 4th quarter with several big catch and runs. He finished his day with 6 catches for 101 yards.

On to 2012 fantasy basketball, Dirk Nowitzki will miss about 4 games in order to get his so-called conditioning in check. I do think that with the shortened season, we are seeing some weird things this year. When has Dirk ever missed time due to conditioning issues? Spencer Hawes started out hot, but now is becoming somewhat of an injury nuisance. You can’t rely on players in fantasy basketball games if they’re going to be in and out of the lineup all the time. Joakim Noah is either hurt, tired, sore or not producing to his usual levels when he does play, so he’s a bit of a disappointment thus far.

I would stay away from these three guys for this week at least. Check back with us for more next week. As always, remember to get on over to Fantazzle and win money playing fantasy sports games. You can even check out our all new fantasy football pro-bowl game where you choose from only the best players in the league. Have fun and enjoy the week.

Another exciting week of playoff fantasy football in the books. Tom Brady led the day with 363 yards passing on top of 6 touchdowns and 1 pick. Drew Brees was next in line for top quarterback performers. He threw for 462 yards, 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Eli Manning was also solid once again putting up his stat line of 330/3/1 in a win against the heavy favorites, Green Bay Packers.

Arian Foster was the lone 100-yard rusher in week 19. He ran for 131 yards and 1 touchdown on 27 carries, but it was not enough to beat the Baltimore Ravens. On the receiving end of things, there were plenty of big time players in week 19. Vernon Davis was huge in his game against the Saints and came up big, play after play. Davis finished the day with 7 catches, 180 yards and 2 scores. Rob Gronkowski was magnificent also, recording 10 receptions for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Hakeem Nicks made several game changing plays, ending the night at 7/165/2. Marques Colston went 9/136/1, Darren Sproles went 15/119/1, Andre Johnson 8/111 and Jimmy Graham 5/103/2. All of these players most certainly come with a high price tag in fantasy football playoff games and this is why.

On to 2012 fantasy basketball, Kobe Bryant is the number one guy right now in terms of fantasy ranking. He has scored at least 40 points in 4 consecutive games (4 out of the last 5). I guess the guy really does still have something noteworthy left in the tank. Kevin Durant is right behind him though with LeBron James ranked third. I would say these guys are definitely worth the hefty price tag in all fantasy basketball game formats.

Be sure to check out all our cool fantasy sports games at Fantazzle. Play to win prize money or play the free games for the fun of it. As alway have a safe and productive week.

The fantasy football playoff games are in full swing at Fantazzle. At quarterback, once again, Drew Brees headlines our report as he  threw for 466 yards and 3 touchdowns on Wild Card Weekend. Matthew Stafford was right behind him though with 380/3/2. Most impressive was Tim Tebow’s heroic efforts against the vaunted Steelers. Tebow finished his day with 316 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. He also carried 10 times for 50 yards and a score.

Arian Foster led the playoff weekend for running backs with 153 yards and 2 scores on 24 carries. Isaac Redman is next in line for fantasy running back accolades as he ran for 121 yards on 17 touches. He would have had a touchdown, but got clipped up right at the goaline.

Calvin Johnson was a man amongst boys this Wild Card Weekend. Against the Saints, Megatron pulled in 12 catches for 211 yards and 2 TD’s. Demaryius Thomas had 4, 204 and 1, Marques Colston went 7 for 120 and Hakeem Nicks finished his day with 6, 115 and 2. It was an exciting week of first round playoff fantasy football and we can’t wait for more of the same next week.

In the world of weekly fantasy basketball games, things are popping off already. Zach Randolph has a torn medial collateral knee ligament which is going to sideline him for the next seven weeks! Marreese Speights was traded to Memphis over from Philly to help fill the void for Memphis while Randolph sits out. Speights debuted with a 17 point, 7 rebound effort Sunday against the Lakers–pick him up, Marreese Speights has proved effective when given the minutes.

If your playing weekly salary cap fantasy basketball and you need some bang for your buck, go with Ryan Anderson, power forward/center for the Orlando Magic. He’s currently the 6th ranked fantasy player and he’ll be a bit cheaper then some of the other big name forwards. He’ll get you the same type of numbers or if not better! He can hit three’s, grab rebounds and score points as his season averages are 18 pts/7.3 rebs/ 3.2 3ptm per game. Another guy I like this season is Jose Calderon. He’s fourth in the league in total assists behind Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash and Derrick Rose. Calderon is averaging 12.4 pts and 9.4 assists a game. He won’t be too expensive in the salary cap format, so make good use of him and ride him to your weekly prize money.
