Stephen Kersey — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:42:02 +0000

Which fantasy baseball players are the hottest? Here’s a look at the hottest fantasy baseball players at each position:

C Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins
Since coming back from injury, Mauer is on a tear.

1B Mark Teixeira, New York Yankees
The $180 million contract makes a lot of sense.

2B Dan Uggla, Flordia Marlins
Uggla is a streak hitter who is on fire.

3B Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees
The offseason hip surgery isn’t slowing him.

SS Miguel Tejada, Houston Astros
Tejada has surprisingly been a beast as of late.

OF Raul Ibanez, Philadelphia Phillies
What a great free agent signing by the Phillies.

OF Carl Crawford, Tampa Bay Rays
He’s getting on base and stealing tons of bases.

OF Nelson Cruz, Texas Rangers
Cruz has been on a sick tear for the Rangers.

SP Edwin Jackson, Detroit Tigers
Jackson is finally living up to his potential.

RP Trevor Hoffman, Milwaukee Brewers
Hoffman hasn’t given up a run yet this year.

Top Five Hottest Fantasy Basketball Players

1) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
Who else? Paul has been on fire as of late. He has been simply amazing for much of the season. He had an injury that slowed him down for a couple games but other than that, he’s been everything expected and much, much more.

2) Marcus Camby, Denver Nuggets
Camby is doing it all. When he’s not getting triple doubles, he’s pulling down boards by the dozens or swiping steals. As has always been the case, a healthy Camby is a player who can produce greatly in the fantasy world and real life.

3) Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
In Don Nelson’s offense, Davis is the engine. He’s been motoring along quite nicely as of late. In the last week he’s averaging close to thirty points, close to ten assists and five rebounds per contest. Those numbers are gold in fantasy basketball.

4) Hedo Turkoglu, Orlando Magic
A funny thing happened when the Magic signed Rashard Lewis – Hedo Turkoglu exploded. Turkoglu has outplayed Lewis this year and this week Turkoglu was great. He averaged 25.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks this week.

5) Jason Richardson, Charlotte Bobcats
Although he’s not playing for Don Nelson anymore, Richardson is able to shoot as much as he wants. He has been very good as of late. He is averaging 29 points over his last four games and there are no signs of him slowing down.

Five Hottest Players in Fantasy Basketball

5) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Bryant has played a more team-oriented style this year and it’s working well for him and his team. The Lakers are winning and Bryant’s stats are still stellar. That said, expect him to start to shoulder more of the scoring load eventually. The increase in scoring will make him even more valuable in the fantasy world.

4) Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns
Marion, by his standards, is having an off season. His scoring average is down and his shooting percentages are down. That said, he’s still a fantasy stud. He impacts the box score in so many ways that he can help any fantasy team. Expect him to improve as the season goes on as he adjusts to playing alongside Grant Hill.

3) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
Paul has far and away exceeded his expectations coming into the season. He’s doing it all and doing it well. He’s taken another step forward in his development. Nowadays, he can beat you by passing the ball, scoring the ball or simply being a decoy. The scary part about Paul is he seemingly gets better each night out.

2) Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
Davis is quietly moving up the charts as an unheralded fantasy stud. While everyone knows he’s a good fantasy player, few recognize how great he’s been as of late. He’s not only the best point guard in fantasy basketball as of right now, he’s arguably the most explosive player in the game. He can come up with huge stats in almost any category.

1) Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
Butler isn’t a name you’d expect to see at the head of this list. He’s always been a good fantasy player, however now he’s playing like the best fantasy player. Butler has simply been unbelievable. He’s shooting well, he’s producing in each category and he’s doing it consistently. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Gilbert Arenas returns because Butler is proving to be a franchise player type of talent. There might not be room in Washington for both players.
