/ Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

Ennis has just been put on waivers in our league, and we’re not sure why. He had a spectacular Week Five, scoring two goals and five points with a plus-3 rating, five penalty minutes, two power play points, 10 shots on goal, a hit and two blocked shots. In 19 games played, the youngster has six goals, 12 points, a minus-8 rating and 40 shots on goal.

The Wire Troll: Lavoy Allen Standing Tall

/ Basketball, McCade Pearson, The Wire Troll

Caldwell-Pope has been a nice surprise for the Pistons this season as the former eighth overall pick has really stepped up his game. One of the nicest surprises from this young man has been his three-point shooting. He has made 16 of his last 36 attempts from beyond the arc over the last six games. You would like to see KCP’s other numbers go up, but if you are looking for a three-point specialist, he may be your guy, even if his shooting is inconsistent. He has had games of 1-for-6, 0-for-6 and 1-for-8 from downtown, but when he gets it going, he gets it going. The bottom line is any guy averaging 36 minutes needs to be owned — especially one with this kind of upside.

Many believe the key to Fantasy basketball success lies in your ability to hoard point guards and power forwards. What you want out of your point guard is simple: lots of dimes, plenty of points and tons of treys. Ideally, they are also great free throw shooters. But bear in mind, while assists is a by-product of having the ball in their hands most of the time, so are turnovers, so pay attention to that all important assist-to-turnover ratio.

Start ’em, Sit ’em: Indianapolis Colts Edition

/ Football, Josh Johnson, Ken LeBlanc, Start 'em Sit 'em

What QB hasn’t excelled vs. Tampa Bay this season? Griffin and the ‘Skins are coming off bye and the Buccaneers just allowed the Falcons to finally earn a road win. A week of rest should translate into a looser, more confident Redskin offense. The bust talking is rumbling but Griffin is far from done. By the way, the Bucs ranks 31st in yards allowed and points per game.

Review: NBA Game Time App (PS4)

/ Basketball, Product reviews

A year ago, we checked out the NBA Game Time App with Broadband League Pass on the Xbox 360 and found it to be an uneven experience — due mostly to poor stability in the actual stream. This time we’re jumping to next-gen and checking out the other console by reviewing the app for the PlayStation 4. The cost remains unchanged from the premium pass (US$199 for all 30 teams), while the choice package (in which you select any five teams) has gone from US$140 to US$149.
