Jason Heyward Suffers Injury On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (head) was forced to leave early during Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was stuck in the head when infielder Brandon Crawford attempted to hurdle Heyward. The veteran outfielder was on the ground for several minutes before exiting the game. It wouldn't be surprising to see Heyward placed […]

Nick Pivetta Expected To Be Activated On Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta is expected to be activated off the COVID-19 list on Sunday. The hope is that Pivetta will be able to take the mound in an important matchup versus the Chicago White Sox. He has not pitched since the end of August, but was a decent streaming option when […]

Brandon Woodruff Won't Pitch On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday. Instead, left-hander Eric Lauer will take the mound in his place versus the Cleveland Indians. He could have some streaming value here, but probably just a low-end option. It sounds like Woodruff has a stomach bug and will take […]

Steven Brault Moved To Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Steven Brault (arm) was removed after two innings during his start on Friday. It appears Brault has suffered a left lat strain. The organization has not given a timetable for his return to the mound. In the meantime, Connor Overton has been recalled from the minors. Brault hasn't been able to […]

Matt Chapman Exits Early On Saturday

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (undisclosed) exited early during Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Chapman was removed from the game in the fifth inning for an undisclosed reason. He didn't appear to be injured, but more information should be known after the game. Josh Harrison took over third base and could see a […]

Nathaniel Lowe Has Two RBI Game

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a nice piece for this offense down the stretch. On Friday, Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-RBI double and two walks in the 10-5 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers didn't have much of a chance after the A's put up six runs in the second […]

Glenn Otto Rocked By Athletics

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto was horrendous during Friday's outing versus the Oakland Athletics. He went 3 1/3 innings, eight hits allowed, eight earned runs, one walk, and five strikeouts. Otto kept the ball in the park, but couldn't slow down the Athletics' bats. This was his first bad outing of his young career. […]

Freddie Freeman Collects Two Hits On Friday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has been nearly impossible to slow down with the bat this season. He has been on fire in the second half and that continued on Friday. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a single in the 6-2 win over the Miami Marlins. The veteran first baseman has given […]

Ian Anderson Fans Nine In Win Over Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was tough to hit during Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Anderson went five innings, five hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and nine strikeouts in the 6-2 victory. He has pitched well since coming off the injured list and doesn't appear to have missed a beat. Anderson […]

Elijah Moore Should Produce WR3 Value

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore will be making his NFL debut in Week 1 versus the Carolina Panthers. The second round pick from this year's draft should see plenty of targets this season. He could get involved right away with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) questionable for Week 1. The […]

Corey Davis Has Solid Upside For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will likely end up with the most fantasy value out of anyone on this roster this season. Davis is coming off a season where he produced 65 receptions, 984 yards, and five touchdowns. Now, he'll be the main focus with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) […]

Michael Carter Worth Stashing, Not Starting Versus Panthers

New York Jets running back Michael Carter will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the lead back, while Ty Johnson figures to do most of the receiving work. It'll be interesting […]

Ty Johnson Not Trustworthy For Week 1

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson appears to be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the starter, while Johnson and Michael Carter should get involved as well. Johnson finished with 254 yards on the ground and 99 yards through the air in limited action last […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Tevin Coleman Named Lead Back For Opener

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was recently named the lead back for their matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee with Ty Johnson and rookie Michael Carter. None of these backs were able to separate themselves during the preseason. It's likely going to […]

Keelan Cole Banged Up For Opener

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for their Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are already going to be without veteran wideout Jamison Crowder due to COVID-19. Now, Cole will need to have his status monitored up to kickoff. Right now, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore […]

Jonnu Smith Has Tough Matchup In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith will not have an easy challenge to open the season. He'll get the Miami Dolphins defense that allowed seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Smith is coming off career highs with 448 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Although, he should be viewed as a high-end […]

Hunter Henry A TE2 For Week 1

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry will not open the season with a favorable matchup. He gets a Miami Dolphins defense that allowed the seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Henry finished with 60 receptions, 613 yards, and four touchdowns in 2020. He is a capable option at tight end, but […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Not An Ideal Option For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will be making his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He was a fourth round pick of New England during this year's draft. Stevenson was impressive in camp and likely earned himself a legitimate role in the backfield this season. However, he'll draw a tough […]

Kendrick Bourne A Sneaky PPR Choice

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne could find himself with intriguing value heading into Week 1. The Patriots could be without starting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (shoulder) for their matchup with the Miami Dolphins. That means, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne should be asked to pick up the slack. Last season, Bourne finished with […]

Jakobi Meyers Is A Intriguing PPR Option For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was one of the few bright spots for this offense last season. He finished with 59 receptions and 729 yards in 14 games (nine starts) with New England last season. Meyers averaged 7.3 targets per game over his last 11 outings of 2020. He'll get a Miami Dolphins […]

James White Has Lousy Week 1 Matchup

New England Patriots running back James White was not effective in the passing game last season. Despite having Cam Newton behind center, New England couldn't find a way to get White the ball. He finished with 375 yard through the air, which was his lowest since the 2015 season. White will begin the season with […]

Gabriel Davis Could See Increased Action

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis is currently projected to be the No. 4 option at wideout. That being said, there isn't a ton of appeal for Davis in most 12-team standard leagues. However, he could quickly become someone worth stashing. Veteran wideout Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the […]

Dominic Leone Named Opener On Friday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Dominic Leone has been named the opener for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It sounds like the Giants are going bullpen game here, which could honestly work versus this below average lineup. Leone has been excellent, posting a 1.55 ERA and 38/20 K/BB ratio over 40 2/3 innings this […]

Stephen Vogt To Injured List, William Contreras Recalled

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He put together a two-homer game on Thursday. Sadly, he exited in the middle of the game due to a hip issue. The team is going to play it safe with their veteran catcher. He'll be placed on the injured list, […]

Alex Wood Played Catch On Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Wood recently played catch while he's working his way back from COVID-19. He tested positive for coronavirus in late August, but is out of quarantine. Wood has missed more than two weeks of action, but it sounds like he'll pitch again this season. He'll need some time to build […]

Trevor Bauer Likely Done For The Season

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is expected to remain on administrative leave through the conclusion of the postseason. No one should be shocked by this news considering the circumstances. Bauer has been on leave since early July while his legal process plays out. It doesn't sound like he'll take the mound again in […]

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 […]
