Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against the Kansas City Royals.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Story will get the day off in the last game of the regular season.

Ryan Braun Won't Play in Season Finale

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (calf) won't play in the regular season finale versus the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Braun suffered a mild calf strain and will miss the last two games of the regular season. The team is hopeful that Braun will be able to suit up during the playoffs. Cory Spangenberg will bat […]

Andrew Benintendi is Out of the Lineup Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Benintendi has been dealing with a thumb injury, so he might be resting because of that. Gorkys Hernandez will play left field and bat eighth versus righty Chandler Shepherd. Hernandez doesn't have any upside with […]

Jose Iglesias Won't Play on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Iglesias (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Iglesias is getting a routine day off here, but has actually put together a good year while in Cincinnati. Jose Peraza will bat leadoff and play shortstop versus righty Trevor Williams. Peraza has put together […]

Anthony Rendon is Resting on Sunday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against the Cleveland Indians. Rendon is having an MVP type of season, so the Nats will him a day off before the playoffs start. Wilmer Difo will bat eighth and play third base versus righty Mike Clevinger. Difo […]

Blake Parker Named Opener for Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Blake Parker has been named the opener for Sunday's season finale against the Miami Marlins. Parker has already made an appearance as an opener in Philly, so the team decided to give it another shot. It's unclear who is going to follow Parker out of the bullpen. The Phillies are likely […]

Lorenzo Cain Will Rest in Season Finale

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ankle) will sit out of the season finale on Sunday versus the Colorado Rockies. Cain suffered a sprained ankle while colliding with catcher Tony Wolters during Saturday's contest. He's considered day-to-day, so hopefully he'll be ready to play in the playoffs. Trent Grisham will bat leadoff and cover center field […]

Bryan Reynolds Won't Play on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (hamstring) won't play in the season finale on Sunday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Reynolds tweaked his hamstring on Wednesday and hasn't played since then. The Pirates were eliminated from postseason contention while ago, so there was no need to rush back Reynolds. Jake Elmore will play right field and bat […]

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The Twins are giving Cruz the day off here to rest in preparation for the ALDS. Miguel Sano will bat third and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Jorge Lopez. Sano has four […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Sits Out Season Finale

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) will sit out of the season finale on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. He was scratched from Saturday's contest due to right knee soreness. The Jays are going to give their slugging rookie the day off, so he won't play in the last game. Breyvic […]

Jose Ramirez Remains Out on Sunday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Ramirez has been experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired hand, so he'll miss the weekend series. Yu Change will draw the start at third base and bat sixth versus righty Joe Ross. Chang continues to […]

Mookie Betts Will Play in Season Finale

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against the Baltimore Orioles. Betts has been dealing with soreness in his left foot for most of the month. It's not a serious injury, so Betts shouldn't require offseason surgery.

Kyle Rudolph Has Minimal Value in Week 4

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has been non-existent in the offense this season. He has four receptions for 20 yards and has yet to find the end zone through three games. The Vikings are a run-first offense and even their star wide receivers don't have great fantasy value anymore. Rudolph was a touchdown-dependent player […]

Stefon Diggs Has Low Ceiling Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been a dud in fantasy leagues through the first three weeks of the season. He has six receptions for 101 yards and one touchdown through three games. The Vikings are a run-first offense with star running back Dalvin Cook healthy. Diggs is obviously a stud and usually a […]

Adam Thielen Has WR2 Appeal in Week 4

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen hasn't played up to his expectations this season, but has made the most of his chances. Thielen has 11 receptions for 173 yards and two touchdowns through three games this season. He would've seen a bigger game in Week 3, if the Vikings didn't run away with the game […]

Alexander Mattison Has Little Value in Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison had a surprisingly solid week during the Week 3 contest versus the Oakland Raiders. Mattison rushed 12 times for 58 yards and a touchdown. This was the first time that Mattison had double digit rushing attempts this season, but that was likely a fluke game. Dalvin Cook is the […]

Dalvin Cook Remains RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has been dazzling through the first three weeks of the season. He's rushed for 375 yards and four touchdowns through three games and isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Cook heads into a matchup against an elite Chicago Bears Defense. This is going to be his toughest challenge […]

Kirk Cousins A Shaky Play Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been a headache for fantasy owners this season, and it's not going to get any easier in Week 4. Cousins is coming off a game where he completed 15 passes for 174 passing yards and a touchdown without an interception. It's not an awful game, but it was against […]

Travis Kelce is the Best TE Option for Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been an unstoppable force the last two games and that should continue to be the case in Week 4. Kelce has 19 touchdowns scored since the start of the 2017 season. Those 19 touchdowns ties Kelce for the lead among tight ends. Kelce has been targeted at […]

Demarcus Robinson Maintains WR3 Value

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has surprisingly found fantasy value out of basically nowhere. Robinson was a non-factor in the offense until Tyreek Hill (shoulder) went down. The last two games he's put together nine receptions for 215 yards and three touchdowns. It's clear he's going to targeted in the offense, but the […]

Mecole Hardman Has intriguing WR3 Value

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has seen his value increase with the absence of Tyreek Hill (shoulder) the last few weeks. Hardman caught a huge 83-yard touchdown in Week 3 that saved his fantasy value. He's seen at least five targets per game in each of the last two games. The Chiefs want […]

Sammy Watkins is Set Up for A Big Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has surprisingly carried fantasy value this season for the first time in what feels like awhile. Watkins is the No. 1 receiver in Kansas City with Tyreek Hill (shoulder) sidelined. He has 20 receptions, which is tied for sixth among receivers this season. Watkins is heading into a […]

Darwin Thompson Should Be Avoided in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson could see action in the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions, but should remain benched in fantasy leagues. Lead back Damien Williams (knee) is ruled out once again this week. LeSean McCoy and Darrel Williams will be asked to carry the load at running back. Darwin Thompson […]

Darrel Williams is A Desperation Flex Option

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams saw a significant increase in value with lead running back Damien Williams (knee) sidelined last week. The same is true for this week, so he'll continue to have value. Williams saw work behind LeSean McCoy last week, but McCoy was the favored back. He was able to have […]

LeSean McCoy Has RB2 Value Against Lions

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is a little banged up, but should be fine for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Chiefs are without running back Damien Williams (knee) once again. McCoy is going to see an increased workload because of that. The Lions have been awful at stopping […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Feast on Lions

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unbelievable this season, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Mahomes has thrown for 1,195 passing yards and 10 touchdowns without an interception through three games. He heads into a great matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have allowed 3.7 TDs per interception since the […]

Steven Brault Could Become Two-Way Player

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Steven Brault could become a two-way player next season. The Cincinnati Reds have been having success using reliever Michael Lorenzen as a pitcher and outfielder. Brault has a .341 batting average through 49 plate appearances this season. He has a 5.16 ERA through 25 games (19 starts) with the Pirates this […]

Victor Robles is Off on Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Robles is having a fairly decent season at the plate, so this appears to be a routine day off. Gerardo Parra will play center field and bat seventh versus righty Adam Plutko. Parra has been tearing […]

Dylan Bundy Won't Pitch on Sunday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy won't make his scheduled start on Sunday versus the Boston Red Sox. He'll finish the season 7-14 with a 4.79 ERA and 162 strikeouts through 30 starts. The Orioles have decided to go with a bullpen game on Sunday to close out the regular season. They have not announced […]
