Shane McClanahan Hopeful To Only Miss One Start

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty-hander is dealing with back stiffness after battling through Wednesday's outing. It sounds like this is a precautionary move and the organization is hopeful that McClanahan will only miss one start. Chris Archer will likely move into the […]

Huascar Ynoa Gets No-Decision Against Nationals

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa returned where he left off since coming back off the injured list. On Thursday, he went five innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 7-6 win over the Washington Nationals. The 23-year-old has posted a 3.54 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 28/8 K/BB […]

Freddie Freeman Hits Clutch Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman came alive with the bat during the second half of the season. The 31-year-old is slashing .292/.388/.504 with 105 runs scored, 29 home runs, 74 RBI this season. On Thursday, Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run that tied the game in the eighth inning. The Braves were […]

Stephen Vogt Exits Due To Injury

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) was unable to get through Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. It's a shame considering Vogt hit two home runs in the game. Sadly, the 36-year-old was pulled out due to his hip bothering him. Hopefully, Vogt is able to avoid the injured list. In the meantime, Travis d'Arnaud […]

Damien Harris A Low-End RB2 For Opener

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris is going to be the lead back to begin the season. This team doesn't have much reliable depth behind Harris, so he should get his fair share of carries. Although, Harris could have trouble finding room to run during their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. A […]

Mac Jones Has Tough Assignment For Debut

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones won the starting spot with his impressive performance during the preseason. That means, the rookie quarterback will be the starter going forward with veteran Cam Newton being released. The 15th overall pick held his own in the preseason, but that also wasn't against first string defensive players. It's also […]

Nelson Agholor Misses Thursday's Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He continues to deal with a lingering ankle issue that could force him to miss Week 1. His absence could force Kristian Wilkerson, Gunner Olszewski, and Malcolm Perry into more playing time. It's tough to imagine any of those […]

Mike Gesicki Might Get Off To Slow Start

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki became a key part to this offensive unit last season. He finished with 53 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns, which were all career highs. However, the Dolphins did add on offense with Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller. Possibly, Gesicki gets less targets in 2021, but he should […]

Jaylen Waddle Gets Tough Matchup For NFL Debut

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is expected to be an impact player for this offense in 2021. He was taken as the sixth overall pick during this year's draft. He'll join a solid group of receivers in DeVante Parker and Will Fuller. It sounds like Waddle has been impressing in practice and could have […]

DeVante Parker A Shaky WR3 For Opener

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker struggled throughout most of the 2020 campaign. He finished with 63 receptions, 793 yards, and four touchdowns through 14 games with Miami. Those aren't bad stats, but the Dolphins have upgraded since last season. They've added both Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller to their core plus still have Preston […]

Malcolm Brown A Risky Choice In Team Debut

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is reportedly going to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. However, it sounds like the Dolphins believe Myles Gaskin can be a three-down back. Regardless, both Brown and Salvon Ahmed should see action during the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. A defense that […]

Myles Gaskin A Fine PPR Option For Opener

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is currently listed as the No. 1 option on the depth chart. However, head coach Brian Flores mentioned that the team plans to use a three-back committee. It's uncertain what is going to happen until we see it on the field in Week 1. Nonetheless, Gaskin should be the […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge In Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looked much improved during the preseason. He seemed comfortable in the pocket and was actually throwing an accurate deep ball to his wideouts. He'll certainly need to set up after having only three multiple touchdown games last season. His first assignment is going to be a tough challenge against the […]

Isaiah McKenzie Practicing In Full For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He injured his shoulder in practice a couple of weeks ago and still hasn't fully recovered. The MRI came back clean, which is a good sign going forward. However, it's unlikely that McKenzie is going to have […]

Dawson Knox Could Struggle Against Pittsburgh

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is often times the lost man for this offensive unit. However, he did scored in five of his last nine games for the Bills last season. Sadly, he'll get a tough matchup to kickoff the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A defense that allowed just three touchdowns to tight […]

Emmanuel Sanders Hopeful To Play In Opener

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Obviously, fantasy managers don't like to see that with Week 1 being just a few days away. However, Sanders is currently listed as questionable, but it doesn't sound like this issue should hold him out of the season opener. Right now, fantasy managers […]

Cole Beasley Remains Trustworthy PPR Option

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley is coming off a career-year last season. He finished with a career-high 967 yards and 82 receptions. The veteran receiver has seen over 100 targets during both of his seasons in Buffalo. That is likely going to remain the same, especially with John Brown departing over the offseason. However, […]

Stefon Diggs Draws Tough Matchup

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs will have a tough challenge ahead of him against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He is coming off an incredible 2020 season where he recorded 127 receptions and 1,535 yards in 16 games. Diggs was likely the first wideout off draft boards and for good reason. However, he'll […]

Zack Moss Likely Touchdown Dependent For Week 1

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss is coming off a lackluster rookie campaign. He rushed for 481 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games last season. Devin Singletary was the lead back, but Moss saw plenty of chances behind him. It sounds like the two of them will split up the carries this season. Although, […]

Devin Singletary Could Struggle In Opener

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was not much of a fantasy option in most formats last season. He finished with 687 yards and two total touchdowns on the ground in 16 games. Things aren't going to get easier for him against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. A team that allowed the 10th-fewest amount […]

Josh Allen Gets Tough Assignment Week 1

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is no doubt one of the best options to have at QB this fantasy season. However, he'll get a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 1. A secondary that allowed the third-fewest amount of passing yards in 2020. The Steelers didn't have any major changes on defense […]

Colton Welker Expected To Be Called Up On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Colton Welker is reportedly going to get the call-up to the big leagues on Wednesday. The once Top 100 prospect has seen better days after a suspension cost him 100 games of the season. The 23-year-old hit .258 with an .829 OPS during his brief time in the minors this season. […]

Jason Martin Drives In Two Runs

Texas Rangers outfielder Jason Martin was one of the few sources of offense for this lineup on Tuesday. That isn't a sentence you're likely going to see often, but Martin was clutch here. He went 1-for-4 with a two-run single that helped the Rangers secure the 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Martin still has […]

Jordan Lyles Spins Quality Start Versus Arizona

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles surprisingly pitched well during Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Right-hander Spencer Howard fired two scoreless frames before Lyles took over on the mound. He went seven innings, three hits allowed, one earned run, two walks, and three strikeouts in the 3-1 win. Let's be honest, the D-Backs are […]

Adam Duvall Launches 32nd Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall has found new life with the bat since the trade deadline. Duvall has been hitting much better since being acquired by Atlanta. On Tuesday, he went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in the first inning off the Washington Nationals. This game was certainly a battle, but that three-run blast […]

Max Fried Holds His Own On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried worked himself out of a handful of jams during Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. He went six innings, six hits allowed, one earned run, four walks, and five strikeouts in the 8-5 victory. The 27-year-old clearly had control issues with four walks, but managed to escape with limited […]

Drew Smyly To Remain In Bullpen

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly will remain in the bullpen for likely the rest of the season. The veteran lefty seems to have lost his spot in the rotation to youngster Touki Toussaint. To be fair, Smyly hasn't been too reliable with a 4.71 ERA in 116 2/3 innings. He signed a one-year deal […]

Charlie Morton Signs Extension With Braves

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton has signed a one-year extension with the organization. There was some speculation that Morton would retire this offseason, but he received a significant offer from Atlanta. The veteran right-hander will receive a one-year extension worth $20 million, which includes a club option for the 2023 season. The 37-year-old has […]

Jimmy Lambert To Start On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jimmy Lambert will take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. He has not been reliable this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't use him as a streaming option. Lambert has allowed eight runs over eight innings this season. The White Sox rotation is banged up right now, so they […]

Yohel Pozo Continues Impressing

Texas Rangers catcher Yohel Pozo has been reliable with the bat since joining the big league roster. On Monday, he went 2-for-4 with two singles in the 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old is slashing .264/.291/.340 in his 53 at-bats with the Rangers this season. He is a catcher by trade, but […]
