Fantasy Pick-Up of the Week

Fantasy Baseball Pick-Up of the Week:

Jake Peavy (CWS)

A fantasy star from a few years ago has reemerged into fantasy greatness early this year! Last night Peavy continued his hot start by throwing a complete game shutout against the Oakland A's. Peavy is now 3-0 on the year with a 1.88 ERA. If he is still available in your league go pick him up!

Injury Update-NBA

There are a few weeks left before the NBA fantasy playoffs start. Here are some players you need to keep your eye on or off for the stretch run.

Zach Randolph (MEM): He is getting very close to a return with the Grizz. If Randolph is still available in your league pick him up now.

Richard Hamilton (CHI): After coming back from injury, Rip is hurt again. Rip left last night's game with a shoulder injury, so I think it if safe to say look for other options.

Wilson Chandler (DEN): Chandler finished with his team in China and can only sign with the Nuggets this season. The problem is that Chandler is in a stalemate with the Nuggets on a contract. If you are holding on to him in your league you might look for other options.

Anderson Varejao (CLE): After breaking his hands three weeks ago, Varejao is still targeting the last 25 or so games to play in. If he can come back for the last part of the season he could be a big help in your playoff run.

*Pick-Up of the Week* Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets. Faried has been starting for the Nuggets with Nene and Danilo out of the lineup but he has put up solid numbers. He will see he role decrease some as the season goes but still a very valuable fantasy player. Last night against the Kings he scored 20 points and nabbed 12 rebounds.

Good Luck!
