Fantasy Hockey goalie draft tiers: Finding quality netminders

1 DAY AGO - Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby has won 40 games in three straight seasons. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Neil Parker, RotoWire Special to Yahoo Sports With scoring down in the NHL, having a quality collection of goaltenders is more important than ever. Because offense has decreased across the board, goaltending numbers have improved, and the position should be attacked early and often throughout drafts and auctions. Ignoring goalies in the front end of your draft can lead to chasing your competition with inferior assets the entire season. Unlike skaters’ statistical categories, there are capped numbers for goaltenders. Only one win is awarded each game, and there were only 158 shutouts across 2,624 goalie starts last season. Additionally, trying to chip away at poor goalie ratios can be a nightmare. Streaming has also become common practice in most fantasy circles. On the flip side, when an owner has go-to netminders who can stabilize save percentage and GAA, it opens up more Collapse

Stream Police: Do we dare trust Mark Leiter?

18 HRS AGO - Can Mark Leiter hang in against the Dodgers on Thursday? (Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images) It’s a slow Tuesday afternoon and you’re thinking about a pitcher streamer. You play in a competitive league, so you need to look an extra day ahead, consider the Thursday schedule. You see Mark Leiter of the Phillies. He’s carrying an ERA just under 5 and he’s up against the Dodgers, that’s bad. But it’s a home game for Philly and he’s matched against Kenta Maeda (a good pitcher but not LA’s ace or No. 2); that’s good. And let’s look a little deeper at Leiter’s performance numbers. He’s posted a 1.29 WHIP, which is solid — and when an ERA and WHIP conflict, I tend to trust the WHIP. He’s striking out just under a batter per inning, and he’s getting almost three whiffs for every walk. His last two turns have been ordinary (12 IP, 8 ER), but he did collect 18 strikeouts in those appearances. Keeping the ball in the park has been Leiter’s biggest bugaboo, and maybe the Dodgers will get him Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Le’Veon Bell is one of many early fantasy picks failing to live up to expectations (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic). It’s early, but the theme to the start of the 2017 season has to be the amount of disappointing performances from early fantasy picks. Let’s take a look at which ones are worth truly being concerned over and those who aren’t while also recapping the rest of the action in Week 2. Vikings vs. Steelers: Le’Veon Bell went either No. 1 or No. 2 in nearly every draft and quickly became the most desirable fantasy commodity when David Johnson went down in Week 1. But after two games, Bell has totaled just 138 yards (getting a paltry 3.2 YPC) and has yet to find the end zone. Still, there’s no reason for any concern, as it makes sense he’s off to a slow start after holding out for much of the summer. After seeing just 10 carries in Week 1, Bell was given 31 touches Sunday. The matchups will get easier, and while durability remains a worry with Bell, he’d still be worth taking No. 1 in Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Victor Oladipo is playing for his third team in three seasons, but could see his fantasy value spike with the Pacers. (AP Photo/Jim Mone) Alex Rikleen, RotoWire Special to Yahoo Sports The fantasy preseason is dominated by discussion of “sleepers” and “busts”, with the occasional mention of potential “breakouts,” which often overlap with the sleepers discussion. But one of the best ways to build a fantasy juggernaut is to find the production we already know is possible, as long as we remember to look beyond the most recent season. There are two primary categories when it comes to bounce-back candidates: players recovering from injury, and players looking to rebound after a poor season. [Now’s the time to sign up for Fantasy Basketball! Join for free] At different points throughout his career, Rajon Rondo has exemplified both types.

1 DAY AGO - No one wins a fantasy league without making a few smart in-season pickups. Your draft, while important, was just the beginning. Each week throughout the NFL season, we identify six players to target on waiver wires, plus a lightly owned D/ST. All are available in a majority of Yahoo leagues and approved for immediate use. Add as needed. Chris Carson, RB, Seattle Seahawks, 39% owned Carson is of course long gone in nearly all hardcore fantasy leagues, but he remains unattached in 60 percent of the Yahoo universe. He was a well-hyped player throughout the preseason, outproducing every other back on Seattle’s roster. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll suggested entering the week that we might see more of Carson, and he followed through in a big way. Carson carried the ball 20 times for 93 yards against the Niners, adding one reception for seven yards. Meanwhile, Thomas Rawls had only a cameo role, carrying five times for four yards. Eddie Lacy was an uninvolved onlooker, inactive for the Collapse
