Logan Forsythe is Sitting Out on Monday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Forsythe is 0-for-12 over the last three games, so he'll get a day off on Monday. Ehire Adrianza will cover second base and bat ninth versus righty Lucas Giolito. DFS owners can avoid Adrianza […]

Starling Marte is Benched on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (personal) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Manager Clint Hurdle has decided to bench Marte due to lack of effort during Sunday's contest. Adam Frazier will draw the start in center field and bat second versus rookie right-hander Bryse Wilson. Frazier is worth […]

Josh Harrison is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It appears that Harrison's hamstring issues have knocked him out of the lineup, but it's unclear whether or not he'll be available off the bench on Monday. Kevin Newman will draw the start at second base […]

Devon Travis is Sitting Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jay second baseman Devon Travis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Travis is 0-for-10 over the last two games, so he'll get a chance to rest. Richard Urena will draw the start at second base and bat ninth against righty Andrew Cashner. Urena can be […]

Cedric Mullins Will Lead Off Again on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins will lead off and play center field versus righty Marco Estrada on Monday. Mullins is hitting .357/.419/.607 with one home run and three RBI over the last two weeks. He's only worth owning in AL-only leagues, but that could quickly change due to how well he's been hitting. DFS players […]

Adam Jones Activated, Starting Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (personal) has been activated off the bereavement list on Monday. Jones missed the weekend series against Cleveland following a death in the family. He's in right field and batting cleanup against righty Marco Estrada on Monday. He's a fairly decent DFS option against Estrada.

Brandon Nimmo Officially Placed on DL

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to August 17. Nimmo is dealing with a bruised left index finger, but doesn't have any structural damage. He should be ready to return once his 10 days are up. Dominic Smith will take over Nimmo's spot on the […]

Mark Trumbo Placed on 10-Day DL

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday. Trumbo is dealing with right knee inflammation, it's something that has been bothering him since May. There is no clear timetable for Trumbo's return, so there is a chance that his 2018 season is over. The Orioles don't have […]

Aaron Sanchez Could Rejoin Jays This Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (finger) is scheduled to make a start in Double A on Monday. Sanchez may rejoin the Jays by this weekend, according to manager John Gibbons. Sanchez has not pitched well during his last two rehab starts, so hopefully this one is better. Most fantasy owners can take a […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Choo is hitting .400/.483/.520 over the last week, but needed a night off to rest. Adrian Beltre is serve as the DH and bat third against lefty Andrew Heaney. Beltre is back in the lineup […]

Shohei Ohtani is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Ohtani went 1-for-9 over his last three games at the plate, so he'll get the night off to rest. Albert Pujols will serve as the DH and bat cleanup against lefty Martin Perez. Pujols has […]

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It appears that this is just a rest day for Schoop. Orlando Arcia will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth against righty Miles Mikolas. Arcia has struggled with the bat all season, so […]

Ryan Braun is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He continues to deal with rib cage tightness, but the issue is believed to be day-to-day. Keon Broxton will play right field and bat sixth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Broxton can be avoided in […]

Eric Thames is Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Thames injured his right knee while colliding with teammate Lorenzo Cain on Friday. It's assumed this is just a day-to-day issue until the Brewers say it's more serious. Jesus Aguilar will bat cleanup and […]

Billy Hamilton Will Lead Off on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off for the second straight game and play center field versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Hamilton has collected at least one hit or more in each of his last nine games. He's been heating up with the bat in the second half, but Hamilton is not a recommended DFS […]

James McCann is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Grayson Greiner will start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Kohl Stewart. Greiner has been decent with the bat during his limited playing time. Stewart has been awful so far this season, so Greiner […]

Jose Martinez Scratched From the Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez (hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday. Martinez is dealing with tightness in his right hip, so he'll sit this one out. Tyler O'Neill will replace him in right field and bat third against lefty Wade Miley. O'Neill is worth a look as a cheap […]

Carlos Gomez Will Lead Off Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez will lead off and play right field versus lefty David Price on Saturday. Gomez normally bats fifth or lower in the lineup, but will move up with a lefty on the mound. However, Gomez is hitting .043/.083/.043 off Price in his career. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues […]

Josh Harrison is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Adam Frazier will draw the rare start at second base and bat sixth versus righty Tyler Chatwood. Frazier is not normally worth using in DFS, but he could be an interesting option against Chatwood. At worst, […]

Jose Urena Will Start on Sunday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena will draw the start against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Urena is awaiting the hearing for his six-game suspension, so he's eligible to keep pitching. However, Urena has been mediocre at best this season, so he's only worth owning in NL-only leagues. A matchup against the Nationals is not […]

David Bote is Back in the Lineup Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bote will bat third and play third base against righty Joe Musgrove. He's been on fire with the bat lately, but he's expected to cool off at some point. However, until that happens DFS owners can […]

Ian Happ, Albert Almora Jr. Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielders Ian Happ (rest) and Albert Almora Jr. (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ben Zobrist will lead off and play right field, while Jason Heyward bats second and slides over to center field versus righty Joe Musgrove. Both Zobrist and Heyward are worth a […]

Justin Davis, John Kelly Looking to Capitalize Saturday

Los Angeles Rams running backs Justin Davis and John Kelly are looking to capitalize on their impressive starts to the preseason. Kelly ran for 77 yards on 13 attempts in their preseason opener. Davis finished with 41 yards on seven attempts, but both players finished with the same yards per carry in that game. Todd […]

Jared Goff Should See Playing Time On Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play in the preseason opener against the Ravens. Quarterback Brandon Allen finished 10-for-15 for 73 yards and one touchdown, while Sean Mannion went 3-for-13 with 16 yards and one interception. There is no quarterback controversy for the Rams. Goff is going to be the starter, but the […]

Harrison Butker Knocks Down Two Field Goals Friday

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker knocked down both of his field goal attempts during Friday's victory over the Falcons. Butker knocked down an impressive 49 yard field goal on Friday. His long during last season was 53 yards, so it's clear Butker has not lost a step. Butker knocked down 38/42 field goals last […]

Gehrig Dieter Catches TD in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Gehrig Dieter did not see much action during Friday's victory over the Falcons, but he was able to catch a touchdown. Dieter caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from veteran quarterback Chad Henne. Dieter finished the game with two receptions for 36 yards and one touchdown. It's unlikely that Dieter finishes […]

Travis Kelce Quiet in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was held to just two receptions and 27 yards during Friday's victory over the Falcons. It's been a slow start to the preseason for Kelce, but he should see more action the next two weeks. Having Patrick Mahomes under helm should not change Kelce's fantasy value. He should […]

Tyreek Hill Catches Touchdown on Friday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill put together a fairly solid game on Friday, which included a highlight catch that was likely the play of the night around the NFL. Hill caught four passes for 87 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the Falcons. He caught a 69-yard touchdown pass from quarterback […]

Kerwynn Williams, Darrel Williams Continue Lackluster Start

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Kerwynn Williams and Darrel Williams continued their lackluster starts to the preseason on Friday. Kerwynn Williams rushed for 23 yards on eight attempts, while Darrel Williams rushed for 15 yards on six attempts. However, lead back Kareem Hunt finished with 15 yards on seven attempts. It does not appear that […]

Kareem Hunt Struggles in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt saw more attempts in the second preseason game on Friday, but failed to do much with the ball. Hunt collected a total of 15 yards on seven attempts for an average of 2.1 yards per carry. It's early in camp, so the Chiefs aren't going to overload Hunt […]
