Let’s take a look at some risers and fallers in ADP using consensus ADP data compiled from Fantrax, RTSports, NFBC and Yahoo from Feb. 19-March 2. We’ll also compare their current ADPs to that of Fantasy Alarm’s Mock Draft Army, which has compiled its ADP over a similar period. The Army is a group of fantasy industry writers and their readers who do live mock drafts as part of their prep for their actual drafts....

We here at Fantasy Source already started our prep. Our 2014 fantasy baseball preview magazine is on newsstands, and it's full of great features, stat projections and player rankings. On the digital side, we've started rolling out site updates, with positional rankings, our overall Top 300, stat projections and more. You can also see a free preview of our Top 25 with their stat projections and estimated auction values. In the meantime, here are some of my quick thoughts as I glanced over Fantasy Source's initial 2014 position rankings: Catcher...

Injuries, inconsistency, and the all-around volatility of the position make it tough to handicap. Just think back to this time last year – would you have ever expected Seung Hwan Oh and not Trevor Rosenthal to be on this list? Moreover, would you have ever expected Oh to be a top-10 closer, maybe even top-five, on many big boards? And that’s just the way it is with relievers. You can try to avoid injury risks, but, really, they’re all injury risks....

Where do you find a sleeper in this group? The easy pick would be Nick Castellanos, the 21-year-old 3B who has an impressive .303/.359/.445 minor league mark — but plenty has been and will be written about Castellanos. Instead, we're picking pitcher Drew Smyly, who's move from the bullpen to the rotation hasn't been met with much fanfare. Smyly worked as a middle reliever last year, posting a 2.37/1.04 line and 81 Ks in 76 innings....

Fantasy owners are undoubtedly wondering who’s worth grabbing. Let’s take a look at the top pickups and see if we can spot anyone else worth adding to your fantasy lineup.

Avoiding that pitfall is one of the easiest ways to gain an advantage on your friends and/or other competitiors in your leagues. In that spirit, below are four players, one at each position, that have recently established or re-established themselves into their club’s starting line-up. This type of player is even more valuable in the Goal game as, with no bench, you are more heavily rewarded for owning players who consistently start....

With that in mind, here’s a closer look at our positional rankings, which not only help during your draft, but also early in the year when you’re looking for pickups on the waiver wire. MORE: Ultimate fantasy cheat sheet | Experts draft Note: We’ll be updating our positional rankings right up until the start of Week 1, so check back often!

There are a few established schools of thought for assembling a fantasy team. Many experts and casual players enter snake drafts with an ideology that informs how they approach most drafts before the order is determined. FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: QB | RB | WR | TE | D/ST Different draft strategies Start with RBs; take a late-round QB; don’t take any RBs until the middle rounds. Fantasy owners live and die by these strategies, and depending on the owner — and the year — having an established philosophy can help produce incredible success across various leagues....

MORE FANTASY: Join Fantasy Source Football | Join Fantasy Source Baseball Bills acquire WR Mike Williams. Buffalo sent a sixth-round draft pick to the Buccaneers for the troubled receiver, who was recently stabbed in the leg by his brother. The low trade value and the sibling assault both say a lot about Williams’ upside and character. He’ll be nothing but a bench flier with an unproven QB in EJ Manuel while competing for targets with Stevie Johnson (if he stays in Buffalo) and Robert Woods in an offense that should run the ball....

OK, only four people are asking that, but we still talk about it because we care about every fantasy owner. Why else would we muse about Tra Carson’s ownership percentage? Or whether Kalen Ballage is the worst running back in the NFL? Or if Gardner Minshew is going to do something weird in London? Or if Adrian Peterson or LeSean McCoy is more washed up? Or why Vance McDonald has been so disappointing?...
