Ian Desmond is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Desmond will get a breather and he has poor career numbers against Tuesday's starter Zack Greinke anyway. Ryan McMahon will play first base and bat seventh versus the veteran righty Greinke. McMahon does not have […]

Josh Harrison is Back on the Bench Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Harrison returned to the lineup on Monday after missing six straight games. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the loss to the Cardinals. Kevin Kramer will play second base and bat […]

Salvador Perez is Out on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Perez recently returned from a thumb injury, so this could just be the Royals being cautious with him. Meibrys Viloria will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth against righty Dylan Covey. […]

Greg Bird is Back on The Bench

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Bird started on Monday and went 0-for-3, so he'll return to the bench on Tuesday. Luke Voit will play first base and bat seventh against righty Tyler Duffey. Voit is a solid fantasy option […]

Miguel Sano Still Remains Sidelined on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. It has now been a full week that Sano has missed due to a left knee issue. It's unclear when he'll return, so fantasy owners should not bother counting on him. Ehire Adrianza will […]

Mike Moustakas is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers have been stuck facing a bunch of left-handed starters, so Moustakas has seen plenty of the bench as of late. Travis Shaw will slide over to third base and bat sixth, while Jonathan […]

Addison Russell is Out on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs have so much depth that guys like Russell are forced to take breathers even when they might not need one. Javier Baez will slide over to shortstop and bat fifth, while Tommy La Stella […]

Kendrys Morales is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The Jays have been trying to get Rowdy Tellez in the lineup as much as possible lately. That means Justin Smoak and Morales have lost some playing time. However, the Jays are facing lefty […]

Steve Pearce is Starting on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pearce has seen his playing time decrease lately, but he really only plays against left-handed pitching. He is hitting .346/.436/.605 with four home runs and 14 RBI off lefty pitching this season. He'll bat […]

Brian Dozier is Out on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Dozier was able to break his long hitless streak on Monday, but he'll still get the day off on Tuesday. Max Muncy will play second base and bat second against righty Luis Castillo. Muncy […]

Justin Turner is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears that Turner is just getting a breather on Tuesday. Manny Machado will slide over to third base and bat third, while Chris Taylor covers shortstop and bats seventh versus righty Luis Castillo. […]

Billy Hamilton is Out on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hamilton has struggled against left-handed pitching this season, so he'll get the night off on Tuesday. Gabriel Guerrero will draw the start in center field and bat eighth against lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu. Guerrero is not […]

Joey Votto is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It appears that the Reds are just giving Votto a breather on Tuesday. Brandon Dixon will play first base and bat seventh versus lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu. Dixon is not worth a look in DFS […]

Brian McCann is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. McCann was given an off day on Monday, and the Astros have been cautious with him since returning from the disabled list. McCann will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate against righty Jordan Zimmermann. […]

Travis Kelce is Quiet in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was surprisingly quiet in the 38-28 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. Kelce was held to one catch for six yards and did not score a touchdown. He was targeted six times, but was just unable to haul in a majority of the throws. It was a quiet […]

Sammy Watkins Finishes With Three Catches

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins did not have an excellent Chiefs debut, but was still able to get involved on Sunday. Watkins finished with three receptions for 21 yards and he was unable to find the end zone in the 38-28 victory over the Chargers. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are the main […]

Tyreek Hill Has Two-Touchdown Game in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an incredible game against the Chargers in Week 1. Hill finished with seven receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the 38-28 win over the Chargers. He also added a 91-yard punt return score and he rushed twice for four yards. The chemistry between Hill and […]

Spencer Ware Held to Three Attempts on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware played in his first game since 2016 on Sunday, but was fairly quiet. Ware had three attempts for 32 yards and had one eight-yard reception. It's obvious that Kareem Hunt is the starting running back in Kansas City. Hunt finished with 16 carries, while Ware had just three. […]

Kareem Hunt Quiet in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt did not make much noise during the 38-28 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. Hunt finished with 16 carries for 49 yards and zero touchdowns. Hunt was held without a reception for the first time in a full game, according to Yahoo. The Chiefs did not need Hunt […]

Patrick Mahomes Destroys Chargers Defense in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was hyped up all offseason and maybe that was for a good reason. Mahomes was 15-for-27 with 256 passing yards and four touchdowns in the 38-28 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Chargers pass defense was supposed to be fairly strong, but they couldn't handle Mahomes […]

Carlos Gonzalez is Sitting Out on Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the second straight game that Gonzalez has not started. David Dahl will play right field and bat cleanup versus righty Zack Godley. Dahl is a great fantasy option against the D-Backs on Monday. He's […]

Josh Harrison Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Harrison has been sidelined a week due to lingering hamstring issues. It's unclear how often Harrison will be starting, but he has good career numbers against Cardinals' starter Adam Wainwright. Harrison will bat sixth […]

Greg Bird Returns to the Lineup on Monday

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Bird has missed six straight games, but is back in the lineup for Monday's contest. He'll bat seventh and play first base versus righty Kyle Gibson. Bird should be avoided in DFS contests. Gibson has […]

Miguel Sano is Still Sidelined on Monday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Sano has not played since last Tuesday due to a left knee injury. The Twins have not given an update on his timetable, so Sano could be out for the rest of the season. […]

Travis Shaw is Sitting Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Shaw will sit out his second straight game as the Brewers face another left-handed starter on Monday. Jonathan Schoop is at second base and will bat fifth, while Mike Moustakas is at third base and batting […]

Kyle Schwarber is Out on Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs are facing a left-handed starter, so that is likely why Schwarber is out of the lineup. Kris Bryant will play left field and bat second versus lefty Wade Miley. This should be a great […]

Asdrubal Cabrera is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Maikel Franco (wrist) is back in the starting lineup, so Cabrera's playing time could take a minor hit. Scott Kingery will start at shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Erick Fedde. Kingery can be avoided in […]

Maikel Franco Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (wrist) has returned to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Franco missed seven straight games due to a bone bruise in his right wrist. He took a few at-bats off the bench the last couple of games, but feels well enough to start on Monday. […]

Chris Taylor Will Lead Off on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor will lead off and play left field versus lefty Cody Reed on Monday. Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the lineup with the left-handed starter on the mound. Taylor normally isn't the best DFS option, but he could make for an interesting option while leading off. Taylor isn't worth […]

Cody Bellinger, Yasiel Puig Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (rest) and outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Bellinger is sitting out against the left-handed starter. It's unclear why Puig is out, but he's struggled against lefty pitching this season, so that is likely why he is […]
