The Wire Troll: Matt Barnes Bashes His Way Back to Revelance

December 5, 2015 / Adrian Wallace, Basketball, The Wire Troll

Montiejunas has yet to play this season because of his back, but he’s very close to returning. He’s been practicing this week and his status for Saturday has been upgraded to questionable. The Young Lithuanian enjoyed a breakout last season, upping his game offensively while doing a better job on the defensive glass and pitching in with more blocks. In a deep league, stash this dude now.

2015 MLB Wire Troll All-Star Team

Schwarber tore it up almost right out of the gate once he arrived on the scene, even as he spent a lot of time in the outfield despite his draft status as a catcher. Still, he ended his rookie campaign with 16 home runs and was almost universally owned in ESPN and CBS leagues.

The Wire Troll: Joffrey Lupul Leading Lousy Leafs

November 29, 2015 / Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

Much like Gilbert, Cowen hasn’t contributed much offensively (three assists, 14 shots on goal), but his plus-9 rating, six penalty minutes, 51 hits and 31 shot blocks are considerable. He’ll do as a spare rearguard in a pinch.

The Wire Troll: Jeremy Lamb Breaks the Silence

November 28, 2015 / Adrian Wallace, Basketball, The Wire Troll

The 6’10” rookie has seen some erratic minutes lately playing in the midst of Denver’s injured frontcourt. For the most part, Jokic has been making the most of it with a double-double on Sunday (his second in three games) and 16 points on Tuesday. As long as he’s starting, he’s worth owning as he’ll contribute points and boards to your team. Now, if Jokic can just learn to stay out of foul trouble, but such is life for young bigs in the NBA.

The Wire Troll: Dan Girardi Rides Rising Rangers

November 22, 2015 / Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

With a 9-1 record in their past 10 games, the Rangers are currently the hottest team in the league, leading the Metropolitan Division with five points to spare at 32. Girardi, more of a stay-at-home defenseman, is making a serious case for himself to be on your Fantasy roster. Through 20 games played, he has two goals, eight points, a plus-12 rating, six penalty minutes, 17 shots on goal, 46 hits and 44 blocked shots. We hope you have better players on your team’s top defensive pairing, but Girardi will certainly do as a third or fourth defenseman.

The Wire Troll: Mario Chalmers Growling in Grizzlyland

November 21, 2015 / Adrian Wallace, Basketball, The Wire Troll

The Grizzlies acquired Super Mario Tuesday in a trade with the Heat. Since his debut in Memphis, that’s exactly what he’s been – superb. In just 21 minutes per game over the last three contests, Chalmers has scored double digits, including a 29-point performance Tuesday against the Thunder. We repeat — against the Thunder. He clearly didn’t fear Oklahoma’s defensive roar as he attacked the paint and received 15 free throw attempts (canning 13). Chalmers will hit treys, get to the line and a hit a ton of free throws for your team.

The Wire Troll: Jared Spurgeon Surging in St. Paul

November 15, 2015 / Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

A 16-goal, 33-point scorer last season, Hansen is off to a considerably good start this season with five goals, 11 points, a plus-10 rating, four penalty minutes, 33 shots on goal, eight hits and seven blocked shots in 18 games this season. Don’t expect him to consistently produce, but he could be a savvy pick in leagues with many teams and a very shallow free agent pool.
