Max Kepler Back In The Lineup Versus Yankees

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. He sat out for rest purposes on Friday after playing in six straight games. He'll cover the leadoff spot and play right field versus righty Gerrit Cole. It's never a great idea to bet against Cole […]

Hunter Dozier Absent From Saturday's Lineup

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He didn't play on Friday and it appears he is still feeling under the weather. Emmanuel Rivera will cover third base and bat eighth versus right-hander Keegan Thompson. Rivera doesn't have much upside with […]

Reynaldo Lopez To Be Demoted To Bullpen

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez has been a stellar option in both the rotation and bullpen this season. Thus far, Lopez has posted a 1.08 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 26/7 K/BB ratio across 25 innings (11 appearances, three starts) this season. The 27-year-old has been fantastic, but will soon hand over the rotation […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Goes Down With Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. (hamstring) was forced to leave early during Thursday's practice. It's uncertain if Bowden will be able to suit up for their next preseason matchup. In the meantime, Jakeem Grant should get increased snaps as he attempts to pass Bowden on the depth chart. Regardless, neither Bowden or Grant […]

Emmanuel Sanders Continues Dealing With Foot Issue

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) has been in and out of practice lately. He continues dealing with a lingering foot issue that could cost him playing time. The Bills don't expect Sanders to be sidelined to begin the season. Although, he could miss their upcoming preseason matchup. Sanders was brought in to be […]

Travis d'Arnaud Leads The Charge On Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is having a fantastic Friday considering the events that have happened. First off, he signed a two-year extension worth $16 million. Then he went deep later in the day against the Baltimore Orioles. He would finish 2-for-3 at the plate with an important two-run home run in the 3-0 victory. […]

Jorge Soler Slugs 17th Homer In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has somewhat improved with the bat since the trade in July. On Friday, Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Keegan Akin in the third inning. A run that was fairly important in the 3-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. That home run marked Soler's 17th long […]

Max Fried Completes First Career Shutout

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was nearly perfect against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. He went nine innings, five hits allowed, zero earned runs, no walks, and four strikeouts in the 3-0 victory. This was Fried's first career MLB shutout and the young lefty only needed 90 pitches to do it. After this outing, […]

Denzel Mims Remains Day-To-Day

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims (hip) is reportedly day-to-day, but will hopefully be able to play in Saturday's second preseason matchup. Mims has not exactly been a reliable option for the Jets. He was disappointing during his rookie season and will likely be the No. 3 option heading into the season. The Jets […]

Carl Lawson Suffers Season-Ending Achilles Injury

New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson (Achilles) will miss the entire 2021 regular season. The veteran pass rusher suffered a ruptured Achilles during practice on Thursday. This is a tough blow especially after the team signed Lawson to a three-year deal worth $45 million this past offseason. The 26-year-old was going to be a […]

Jakobi Meyers Snags Touchdown In Preseason Matchup

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is expected to be a productive option for this offensive unit. He showed what he was capable of doing during Thursday's preseason matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Meyers hauled in three receptions for 56 yards and one touchdown in the 35-0 victory. Last season, Meyers carried weekly standard […]

Gunner Olszewski Goes Over 50 Yards In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Gunner Olszewski is a name no one can forget, but has been lost in the shuffle on the depth chart. Despite that, Olszewski put on a show during their second preseason matchup on Thursday. He finished with four receptions and a team-high 57 receiving yards in the blowout win over […]

Damien Harris Finds Endzone In Blowout Win

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris found the end zone for the first time in the preseason on Thursday. Although, it wasn't really a difficult task against the Philadelphia Eagles who were blown out 35-0. Nonetheless, Harris carried the ball six times for 14 yards and one touchdown. He didn't do anything in the […]

Sony Michel Sees Action On Thursday

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was able to see some playing time during their second preseason game versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Both J.J. Taylor and Rhamondre Stevenson stole the show on the ground. However, Michel was able to get involved with seven carries for 34 yards on the ground, which is a decent […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Has Two-Touchdown Game

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has shown he is certainly capable of carry this own weight. He went off in the preseason opener for over 100 yards on the ground. Stevenson slowed down on the ground in this one and took over the power back role. On Thursday, Stevenson rushed 15 times for […]

J.J. Taylor Impressive In Second Preseason Matchup

New England Patriots running back J.J. Taylor exceeded expectations during their second preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday. Taylor was decent in their preseason opener, but came alive here. He rushed for 93 yards on 12 attempts with one touchdown in the blowout victory. Taylor also recorded three receptions for 18 yards through […]

Mac Jones Remains Solid Versus Eagles

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones saw time with the second stringers during their second preseason matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Veteran Cam Newton drew the start and played well during his limited action. Jones completed 13-of-19 passing attempts for 146 yards and one touchdown without an interception in the blowout win. Right now, Newton […]

Cam Newton Looks Sharp In Second Preseason Contest

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton started and played with the first team during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He didn't see a ton of time on the field, but played well with his limited reps. Newton completed 8-of-9 passing attempts for 103 yards without a touchdown or interception. Rookie Mac Jones came in […]

Adolis Garcia Hits 27th Homer On Thursday

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia seems to be getting his power swing back over the last few games. On Thursday, Garcia went 2-for-4 with a single and a solo home run in the sixth inning off righty Chris Flexen. Sadly, the Rangers would end up dropping this game to the Seattle Mariners 9-8 in 11 […]

Jason Martin Hits Game-Tying Blast

Texas Rangers outfielder Jason Martin was almost the hero in a hard fought 9-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Martin hit a game-tying three-run home run off Diego Castillo in the ninth inning. Sadly, the Rangers would end up losing in 11 innings, but that was likely Martin's biggest hit of his career. […]

Joe Barlow Tagged With Loss On Thursday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow appears to be the favorite for save chances down the stretch. On Thursday, Barlow got through a scoreless 10th inning and appeared locked in. Sadly, that changed in the 11th when Ty France hit a go-ahead two-run home run off Barlow. He was given the loss in what was […]

Spencer Howard Lifted After Two Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Spencer Howard is certainly going to be a work in progress for the organization. He turned in a decent outing last time on the mound, but was rocked during Thursday's contest. Howard went two innings, five hits allowed, five earned runs, one walk, and three strikeouts in the 9-8 loss to […]

Dolphins Acquire Greg Little From Panthers

The Miami Dolphins made a handful of roster moves on Tuesday. The most interesting being acquiring offensive tackle Greg Little from the Carolina Panthers. In exchange for the former second round pick, the Panthers received a seventh round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The promising talent prospect was selected 37th overall during the 2019 […]

Hunter Long Returned To Practice On Thursday

Miami Dolphins tight end Hunter Long (knee) was able to return to the practice field on Thursday. He was carted off the field a few weeks ago after getting shoved while making a catch out of bounds. Surprisingly, Long returned on Thursday and was doing team drills in front of reporters. The third round pick […]

Myles Gaskin Stuck In Messy Backfield Situation

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin could have a difficult time holding reliable fantasy value during the 2021 season. Last season, Gaskin emerged as the lead back and held RB2 value in PPR formats. However, the Dolphins are going to use a three-back committee this upcoming season. Head coach Brian Flores mentioned that the organization […]

Dion Dawkins Will Play Versus Bears

Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins will suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. This is positive news after Dawkins spent four days in the hospital from COVID-19. Dawkins returned to practice this week and apparently made enough progress that he'll get to play on Saturday. The Bills are certainly excited to […]

Stefon Diggs Won't Play On Saturday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bears. The superstar receiver will sit out, which isn't surprising considering he continues to recover from a knee issue. Head coach Sean McDermott mentioned earlier in training camp that Diggs is unlikely to play at all during the […]

Josh Allen To Rest Versus Bears

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will not suit up for the preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Friday that the superstar quarterback will sit out the second preseason matchup. That being said, Mitchell Trubisky will get a chance to start against his former team. The former second overall pick […]

Chad Pinder Could Return On Friday

Oakland Athletics infielder/outfielder Chad Pinder (hamstring) could return as early as Friday. It sounds like the veteran utility man will play one final game in Triple-A on Thursday to finish up his rehab assignment. Pinder has been sidelined since early July due to a lingering hamstring issue. He wasn't much of a fantasy asset when […]

Alex Cobb Making Solid Progress

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (wrist) was able to throw without any issues on Wednesday. Despite that, manager Joe Maddon has not given a timetable on the veteran righty. Cobb has been sidelined since late July due to wrist inflammation. There's a good chance he'll need at least one rehab start before returning […]
