Austin Meadows is Back in the Lineup on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Meadows was recently called up by the Rays and has been solid in his small sample size. He'll bat seventh and play right field versus righty Jonathan Holder. Meadows is worth considering as a cheap […]

Trey Mancini Moves Up in the Batting Order

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini will bat second and play first base versus righty Nathan Eovaldi on Monday. Mancini normally bats cleanup or fifth, but will move up to the two-hole for this one. He's been swinging a hot bat, so maybe the Orioles just want to shake up their lineup. Regardless, out of […]

Evan Gattis Remains in the Lineup on Monday

Houston Astros catcher Evan Gattis will remain in the starting lineup for the third straight game on Monday. Gattis has collected five hits and four RBIs over the last two games.

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. This will be a rare rest day for the veteran infielder.

Adam Eaton Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Eaton has taken one at-bat in the last four games due to left knee soreness. Victor Robles has seen extra playing time with Eaton out recently.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Chris Conley and Demetrius Harris both found the end zone in the Week 3 victory over the 49ers. Conley finished with two receptions for 13 yards and one touchdown. He was only targeted three times, but that is really all you can expect with Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins above […]

Tyreek Hill Has Disappointing Performance

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had a rare disappointing game on Sunday. Hill caught two passes for 51 yards and was unable to find the end zone. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes spread the ball around. Six receivers had two receptions or more during Sunday's 38-27 win over the 49ers. This was just one of […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was able to put together another solid performance in the 38-27 victory over the 49ers.

Travis Kelce Plays Well in Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was able to make the most of his opportunities during Sunday's victory over the 49ers. Kelce caught eight passes for 114 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He has now put together back-to-back solid performances after a Week 1 dud. Kelce should remain an elite […]

Miguel Sano Will Miss Weekend Series

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (leg) will sit out the entire weekend series versus the Oakland Athletics. Sano has returned to Minnesota to undergo more testing on his left leg. There is a good chance that Sano has already played his last game of the season. It sounds safe for fantasy owners to go […]

Ketel Marte is Sitting Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Marte, so he should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Daniel Descalso will bat fifth and play second base against righty German Marquez. Descalso is […]

Brandon Belt Still Sidelined on Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be the sixth straight game that Belt has missed.

Justin Bour is Back 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 has seen very little playing time lately, so it's impossible to trust him in fantasy leagues. He'll bat cleanup and play first base versus righty Julio Teheran. Bour could make an interesting DFS candidate, but […]

Billy Hamilton Will Lead Off Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off and play center field against lefty Wei-Yin Chen on Friday. Hamilton is hitting .067/.222/.067 over the last week. Chen has been pretty awful this season, but is posting a 1.78 ERA across 12 starts at home. Hamilton could be worth a look while leading off, but Chen […]

Lorenzo Cain Remains Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Travis Kelce a Great Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the Steelers in Week 2.

Sammy Watkins A Solid WR3 for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a rough first week but was able to put together a 100-yard game against the Steelers in Week 2. Watkins has been tough to trust since last season, but hopefully a change in scenery has helped him. He's going up against a 49ers defense that has allowed […]

Tyreek Hill is Elite Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has four touchdowns through the first two games of the regular season. New Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found immediate chemistry with Hill. The Chiefs are heading into a matchup with the 49ers who have allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Both Hill and Mahomes should have […]

Kareem Hunt Should Be Reliable for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has put together one forgettable week and one respectable week through the first two games of the season. It's sometimes tough to know which Hunt you're going to get on a weekly basis. Hunt was able to find room to run against the Steelers last week, so he […]

Patrick Mahomes an Excellent Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first two weeks of the regular season. Mahomes has thrown 10 touchdowns without a single interception through two weeks. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Mahomes should be one of the best fantasy quarterbacks […]

Robert Woods Expected to be Productive in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has seen nine targets in each of the first two weeks of the regular season. It appears that adding wide receiver Brandin Cooks over the offseason has not hurt the value of Woods. He'll go up against a Chargers defense that has allowed 250 passing yards over the […]
