Kelder does have a first name but only his Mom uses it. He's been playing fantasy sports since before the internet had sites to do it. Not a member of any important organization but he thinks he's super funny! When not consuming baseball, he enjoys church coffee and food in larger quantities than his doctor would like.

I had no intention of doing that new Yahoo fantasy game called High Score. Like at all. I don’t like new things and this is a new thing. At age 48, this old dog was out of new tricks. Then I got a DM from Dan Titus, the NBA fantasy guy who writes for Yahoo, […]

Yes, the NBA is in full swing and they’re keeping the doctors busy, as always. Here’s a rundown of major injuries, and what you can do to fill in the gaps.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Two nights in, and there’s already an ancient truth coming-out party. It has been the same since the days of the Aztecs, where they played that crazy game where they shot a ball through a ring and the losing team died. In that game, as in the NBA, the bad players just don’t get that […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dan Titus and I put together this league. Titus gave me a legitimate name to float, and we got a lot of sharp analysts (and then myself) into the annual Y! Friends and Family League. (I am old and am currently trying to figure out how to make it viewable. It should be at https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/League/friendsandfamily2025) […]

When I started this writing thing three years ago, the impostor syndrome was strong. I play a lot of fantasy; would my writing measure up? Am I smart? Will people actually use my advice for good not evil? The research that I did back then was reading a ton of articles. My favorite was always […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This will be brief. It is simply an effort to get some information to you guys as reports from training camp trickle in… Zion Williamson is skinny.

Off to the West! And just a quick reminder, don’t go nuts over exhibition games. It’s not a real competition. So, maybe it’s just for confirmation bias? Golden State Warriors: The center position is the competition. Al Horford will take his walker up and down the court to start games, based on their practice runs. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I live in the Southeast, which means I should get plenty of Hornets games. Instead, the NBA wants me to drop 20 bucks a month on a streaming plan—and nobody’s about that life. If they ever show up on Hulu Live, then bet. But that’s an access problem. On the court, the Southeast has some […]

Organizing things is kinda hard. My thoughts, well, organizing them is even harder. So I used this format to help me. I had grand idea about general thoughts, etc. I’m not doing anything grand. This is a basic article, folks. One principle I follow here is to not draft guys initially from teams that want […]

Minutes are the lifeblood of fantasy hoops. You can’t score, rebound, or block anything from the bench, and every year depth charts shake out in ways that make or break fantasy squads. This series is all about opportunity: who’s getting run, who’s losing it, and which “next man up” might sneak into your waiver wire […]

It’s exceedingly hard to write about rotations after a trade deadline. By exceedingly, I mean kinda. Back in my day, guys didn’t rest for two games after being traded. Get in there and get sweaty. But kids these days don’t play that way, so lots of guys sat and watched a game or two. Factor […]
