Matt Olson is Out of the Lineup on Saturday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Olson will get a breather against the left-handed starter.

Paul Goldschmidt Will Sit Out on Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. It appears that this is just a routine day off for Goldschmidt. He'll likely be back in the lineup for Sunday's contest. Daniel Descalso will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Jacob […]

Ryan Zimmerman Remains Out of the Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Zimmerman exited Wednesday's game early with back tightness and apparently is not ready to go yet. Mark Reynolds will bat sixth and play first base versus righty Jon Gray. Reynolds is probably not the best […]

Salvador Perez Will Sit Out on Saturday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) will sit out of Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Perez was expected to serve as the DH for this one, but will sit out due to a sore thumb. Ryan O'Hearn will serve as the DH and bat fifth versus righty Corey Kluber. Perez is expected to […]

David Wright is Starting at Third Base on Saturday

New York Mets third baseman David Wright is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Wright came off the bench and took his first at-bat since May 27, 2016. Wright is expected to take a couple at-bats on Saturday before exiting the game. It will be his final game in the […]

Jose Reyes Will Lead Off on Saturday

New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will lead off and play shortstop versus righty Trevor Richards on Saturday. Reyes has been a part-time player this season, but hasn't done anything with the bat to earn a bigger role. The Mets could be giving Reyes a "farewell tour", so we could see him in the lineup […]

Travis Shaw is Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Shaw will get the night off against the left-handed starter. Jonathan Schoop will slide over to second base and bat seventh versus lefty Daniel Norris. Schoop is not worth a look in any fantasy lineups right […]

Wilson Ramos Continues to Sit Out

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This will be the fourth straight game that Ramos has not started. It appears the Phillies want to get their younger catchers some extra playing time. Jorge Alfaro will draw the start behind the plate and […]

Kevin Pillar is Not in the Lineup on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Jays aren't playing for much so this is likely just the organization letting their younger players get on the field. Jonathan Davis will bat second and play center field versus lefty Blake Snell. […]

Matt Duffy is Sitting Out on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This will be the third straight game that Duffy has sat out.

Travis Kelce Has Great Matchup in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has a great chance to have an excellent game against the Broncos in Week 4. The Broncos defense has allowed nearly 80 yards a game to tight ends this season. Kelce has put together back-to-back games with over 100 yards or more. He's going to be an elite […]

Sammy Watkins Has WR3 Upside in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has put together two solid performances after a Week 1 dud. A change of scenery has really helped Watkins this season. Watkins still has fantasy value despite being the third option behind Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Watkins has WR3 upside against a Broncos pass defense that has […]

Yasiel Puig, Cody Bellinger Sitting on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and first baseman Cody Bellinger are both out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. It appears both players will rest against the left-handed starter. Kike Hernandez will lead off and play right field, while David Freese bats third and play first base against […]

Adrian Beltre Returns to the Lineup

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Beltre has been battling a sore hip recently, so that's why he's been seeing increased off days. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the DH against lefty Wade LeBlanc. Beltre is hitting .286/.324/.686 with three […]

Kyle Seager is Out of the Lineup on Friday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Kristopher Negron will bat ninth and play third base versus Perez. […]

Ketel Marte Will Lead Off Again on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte will lead off and play second base versus lefty Eric Lauer on Friday. This will be the second game in a row that Marte will be leading off for the D-Backs. Marte is hitting .311/.379/.548 with seven home runs and 25 RBI off left-handed pitching this season. He should be […]

Ryan Zimmerman is Out of the Lineup on Friday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Zimmerman left Wednesday's game with back tightness and apparently is not ready to play yet. Mark Reynolds will play first base and bat sixth versus lefty Kyle Freeland. Reynolds is normally worth a shot against […]

Tim Anderson Sitting Out Game 2 on Friday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Anderson went 0-for-3 during the first game and has been slumping at the plate recently. Jose Rondon will play shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Chase De Jong. DFS players can avoid Rondon for this […]

Justin Smoak, Kendrys Morales Are Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first basemen Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It appears both players are just getting routine rest days in this one. Rowdy Tellez will play first base and bat cleanup, while Teoscar Hernandez bats fifth and serves as the […]

Kevin Kiermaier Remains Out of the Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (foot) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Kiermaier has a fractured hairline in his right foot after fouling a ball off it on Wednesday. It sounds unlikely that Kiermaier will play again this season. Austin Meadows will bat eighth and play […]

Eduardo Nunez Returns to the Lineup

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Nunez missed a week due to a hamstring issue, but will bat seventh and serve as the DH versus lefty J.A. Happ on Friday. Nunez is hitting .264/.288/.389 this season and does not have […]

Starlin Castro is Back in the Lineup

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. Castro left on Monday to be with his wife who was having a baby. He missed three games, but is back in the lineup for this one. Although, Castro has not been hitting well lately. […]

Brandon Nimmo Will Lead Off Again

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo will lead off and play center field versus righty Jose Urena on Friday. Nimmo normally bats lower in the order, but has been leading off these last two games. Nimmo is hitting .272/.415/.524 with 14 home runs and 38 RBI against right-handed pitching this season. He's a decent option […]

Wilson Ramos is Sitting Out on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Ramos will sit out for the third game in a row. The Phillies aren't playing for much, so they might as well let their younger players get some playing time. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind […]

Justin Bour is in the Lineup on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Bour will play first base and bat second versus righty Mike Foltynewicz. Bour has not seen much playing time lately and has mainly been used off the bench this month. He's not going to be worth […]

Corey Dickerson is Back on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Dickerson sat out on Thursday against lefty Jon Lester. He'll bat cleanup and play left field versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Dickerson is hitting 1.233 OPS over the last two weeks. He should be a reliable fantasy option […]

Adam Frazier is Back in the Lineup on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Frazier was given an off day on Thursday against the left-handed starter. Frazier will lead off and play right field versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. He's hitting .296/.368/.488 with eight home runs and 28 RBI off right-handed pitching […]

Tyreek Hill Should Bounce Back in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill failed to find the end zone for the first time this season during the Week 3 victory over the 49ers. It was a rough week for Hill as he only caught two passes for 51 yards. It appears that was likely just a fluke week as Travis Kelce […]

Kareem Hunt Could Struggle in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt might not be able to find room to run against a Broncos run defense that has been strong this season. Hunt has only rushed for over 50 yards once through three games. It appears he does not have the same ceiling that he did last season. The Chiefs […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Excellent Option in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes set a new NFL record with 13 touchdowns through his first three games. Mahomes has been truly been excellent and basically unstoppable this season. There should be no reason that Mahomes slows down in Week 4 against a Broncos team that has struggled. Mahomes owners should be in for […]
