Ausar Thompson Could Be Day 1 Starter

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson appears to have already impressed the team. The Pistons used the No. 5 selection in this year's draft to select Thompson, so they have high expectations for him. There's a chance that Thompson is a Day 1 starter in the Pistons rotation. His defense is impressive and the Pistons could […]

Christian Braun Expected To Play Bigger Role

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun could see himself with a bigger role on the team next season. It sounds like the organization believes Braun could be a critical piece to this rotation. The team praised his defensive toughness and fundamentals during the postseason. The 22-year-old is expected to have more minutes coming his way with […]

Jonnu Smith Could Have Streaming Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith has surprisingly been productive early in the season. He posted his best game of the season last week with six receptions for 95 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith has four receptions in each of his last three contests. He has been the most consistent receiving […]

Kyle Pitts Has TE2 Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts continues to struggle with two receptions in three of the first four games this season. The young tight end has a ton of potential, but the Falcons just can't seem to get him involved. Last week, Pitts finished with two receptions for 21 yards in the loss to the […]

Drake London Hopeful To Bounce Back

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been unable to get significantly involved in the passing game this season. The second-year wideout has been held to under 35 receiving yards in three of the first four games this season. The Falcons have struggled to move the ball on offense and it continues to hurt London's […]

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Choice For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has seen his role continue to decrease as the season goes on. Last week, Allgeier saw only seven carries and two targets in what ended up being a blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The expectation is that Allgeier will continue to be involved, but his value is limited […]

Bijan Robinson Should Continue To Succeed

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been one of the few bright spots for this team early in the season. The rookie back rushed for over 100 yards and hauled in five receptions in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He might've done more, but the Falcons had to abandon the running […]

Desmond Ridder Remains Avoidable For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has been unable to find much success early in the season. Despite that, head coach Arthur Smith is sticking with Ridder under center for at least one more game. Last week, Ridder took four sacks and threw two interceptions as the Falcons lost a lopsided game to the Jacksonville Jaguars. […]

Miguel Rojas Continues Making Progress

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hand) was able to play in a simulated game on Wednesday. This is good news after Rojas missed the final two games of the regular season due to a left hand injury. It sounds like Rojas is making good progress and will hopefully be ready for Game 1 of […]

Max Fried On Track For NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (finger) appears to be on track for Game 2 of the National League Division Series. The left-hander wore a protective bandage across the blister on his finger during his 76-pitch simulated game. However, Fried won't be allowed to wear the bandage in an actual game. The hope is that […]

Jacob Stallings Catching In Game 2

Miami Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings is in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 of the Wild Card round versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Nick Fortes got the nod behind the plate for Game 1. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout, so the Marlins decided to go in a different direction for Game 2. Stallings […]

Carlos Santana Remains In The Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana (hand) will remain in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 of the Wild Card round versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Santana jammed his hand while making a tag during Game 1, but it appears to be only a minor issue. The veteran slugger remained in the lineup for […]

Brandon Marsh Remains On The Bench

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh remains on the bench once again ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 of the Wild Card round versus the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old sat out Game 1 versus a southpaw and he'll do it again on Wednesday. The Phillies will elect to use Cristian Pache, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos in […]

Jon Berti Starting At Shortstop On Tuesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Jon Berti is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Normally, Garrett Hampson would cover shortstop as he did a majority of the time down the stretch of the season. However, the Marlins will ride the hot hand here with Berti. Over […]

Nick Fortes Catching In Game 1

Miami Marlins catcher Nick Fortes is behind the plate for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 26-year-old will bat ninth and do the catching versus right-hander Zack Wheeler on Tuesday. The Marlins didn't have a great option here with both their catchers struggling with the bat this season. […]

Evan White Should Be Ready For Spring Training

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is expected to be ready for the beginning of spring training. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2021 due to multiple injuries. When healthy, White slashed .165/.235/.308 with 10 home runs and 35 RBI in 84 games across parts of two seasons with the Mariners. […]

Tommy Pham Still Dealing With Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham (toe) is reportedly not 100 percent healthy heading into the postseason. The 35-year-old outfielder admitted on Tuesday that he's still dealing with a turf toe issue. Despite the injury, Pham is still in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round against the Milwaukee Brewers. He'll bat […]

Cristian Pache In The Lineup For Game 1

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card series against the Miami Marlins. The Phillies will move Pache into the lineup versus left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Normally, Brandon Marsh would be out there, but he'll head to the bench versus the southpaw. Pache will cover left […]

Bones Hyland Likely To Be Backup Point Guard

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland is expected to be the team's backup point guard, according to head coach Ty Lue. The 23-year-old was the backup in Denver before being traded to the Clippers mid-season. After being traded, Hyland had a tough time cracking the rotation on a nightly basis. However, it sounds like Hyland […]

Trey Murphy III Could Be Back In November

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) recently underwent surgery to repair a left meniscus tear. This is a tough blow to the young guard, but at least he won't miss all of the season. In fact, Murphy is expected to be back in November or December. This is obviously a rough timetable, but […]

Domantas Sabonis Is Fully Healthy

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (thumb) is fully healthy heading into training camp. It appears Sabonis has healed from his avulsion fracture in his right thumb. The big man suffered the injury in December and missed just one game. After that, Sabonis continued to play through the issue down the stretch of the season. Luckily, […]

Bryce McGowens Dealing With Minor Injury

Charlotte Hornets guard Bryce McGowens (ankle) suffered a minor injury during a workout last week. It appears McGowens suffered a sprained ankle that will limit him for the beginning of training camp. The 20-year-old appeared in 46 contests with the Hornets last season. During that time, he averaged 5.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists […]

Gordon Hayward Healthy Entering Camp

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward is reportedly 100 percent healthy ahead of training camp. That is great news after the oft-injured forward missed chunks of last season due to multiple injuries. Hayward has been unable to play more than 52 games in a single season since the 2018 campaign. He'll enter a crowded roster in […]

Tyler Glasnow Expected To Start Game 1 Of Wild-Card Series

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is expected to take the ball for Tuesday's Game 1 of the wild-card series versus the Texas Rangers. The 30-year-old has been fantastic this season, posting a 3.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 162/37 K/BB ratio through 21 starts. He should be refreshed after the Rays pulled him […]

Zack Wheeler To Start Game 1 Of Wild-Card Series

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has been named the starter for Tuesday's Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Miami Marlins. This doesn't come as a huge surprise considering Wheeler has been the ace of this team all season long. Through 32 starts, Wheeler posted a 3.61 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and a 212/39 […]

D.J. Moore Totals 131 Yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore had seemingly no issues versus the Denver Broncos defense in Week 4. The stud wideout hauled in eight of his nine targets for 131 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Moore saw a 27.3 percent target share in this game as the Bears continue to lean on him […]

Cole Kmet Catches Two Touchdowns In Week 4

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet did everything he could during Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The young tight end hauled in seven of his nine targets for 85 yards and scored two touchdowns in the loss. Kmet was tied with D.J. Moore for a team-high nine targets on the day. The Bears were […]

Khalil Herbert Goes Off In Week 4

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert made easy work of the Denver Broncos defense in Week 4. Before the game, the expectation was that Roschon Johnson was going to see a majority of the carries. However, that wasn't the case during Sunday's contest. Herbert rushed 18 times for 103 yards, while hauling in four receptions […]

Matthew Judon Expected To Miss Time

New England Patriots pass-rusher Matthew Judon (biceps) is expected to miss some time after suffering an injury during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The All-Pro defensive end has reportedly suffered a lower bicep tendon tear during the Week 4 loss. The team is still evaluating Judon, so his recovery timetable is unknown. The expectation […]

Mac Jones To Remain The Starter

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones looked horrendous during Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Jones was benched after throwing for 150 yards with two interceptions and a fumble in the blowout loss. There was some speculation that the Patriots would shake up their quarterback situation after this performance. However, head coach Bill Belichick has […]
