Brandon Woodruff Will Draw the Start on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list and draw the start against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Woodruff has been sidelined since late July due to a left strained oblique. The team plans to use him as an opener on Tuesday. Lefty Gio Gonzalez will follow […]

Mecole Hardman Grabs Touchdown in Victory

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman played well during the Week 2 victory over the Oakland Raiders. Hardman has quickly moved up on the depth chart after Tyreek Hill (shoulder) went down last week. Hardman caught four of his six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. Demarcus Robinson had a huge game, catching […]

Demarcus Robinson Has An Excellent Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had himself a fantastic game against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. Robinson caught all six of his targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns. He looked unstoppable against the shaky Raiders secondary, but who knows if that will happen again. Robinson, Mecole Hardman, and De'Anthony Thomas will […]

Travis Kelce Explodes for Over 100 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce started off a little slow in Week 1, but turned it around quickly in Week 2 against the Oakland Raiders. Kelce caught seven of his nine targets for 107 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the Raiders. Sammy Watkins was the only player targeted more (13), […]

Sammy Watkins Targeted 13 Times Versus Oakland

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins jumped into the No. 1 receiver spot for the team in Week 2, but unfortunately disappointed fantasy owners. Watkins was targeted 13 times, but only caught six passes for 49 yards and was unable to find the end zone. He had a huge three touchdown game in Week […]

Damien Williams is Held in Check by Oakland

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) was unable to get anything going on the ground against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. He rushed nine times for eight yards and added three receptions for 48 yards through the air. Both Williams and LeSean McCoy struggled to get anything going in the ground game. […]

LeSean McCoy Struggles on the Ground in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy wasn't able to get anything going on the ground during Sunday's Week 2 victory over the Oakland Raiders. McCoy totaled 81 yards on the ground during Week 1, but it wasn't the same result here. He rushed 11 times for 23 yards and caught three passes for zero […]

Patrick Mahomes Carves Up Raiders Defense

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is off to an incredible start to the regular season. He threw for three touchdowns in Week 1, but still somehow managed to top that in Week 2. Mahomes completed 30 of his 44 attempts for 443 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions in the victory over the […]

Dellin Betances Activated On Sunday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list. He has been sidelined all season due to shoulder issues.

Corey Dickerson Won't Play on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) is out of the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Dickerson hasn't played since Wednesday due to a bruised navicular bone in his left foot. The Phillies aren't sure when he's going to return to the lineup. Brad Miller will bat fifth and play left field […]

Jorge Polanco Gets the Day Off

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. It appears to be a routine rest day after playing in the doubleheader on Saturday. Ronald Torreyes will cover shortstop and bat ninth versus righty Shane Bieber. Torreyes doesn't have much upside with the bat here.

Nelson Cruz is Out of the Lineup Sunday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Cruz played during both games of the doubleheader on Saturday, so he'll get the day off here. Luiz Arraez will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Shane Bieber. This is a […]

George Springer is Taking a Breather

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Springer will get a regular rest day here, but should be back in the lineup next game. Josh Reddick will slide over to center field and bat sixth versus righty Jakob Junis. Reddick has been […]

Jose Altuve is Resting on Sunday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It appears to be a routine rest day for the slugging infielder. Aledmys Diaz is batting seventh and playing second base versus righty Jakob Junis. Diaz has not hit well this month and is […]

Mecole Hardman Has WR4 Upside

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will see an increased workload the next few weeks with Tyreek Hill (shoulder) sidelined. It sounds like De'Anthony Thomas and Hardman will split up the No. 2 receiver role in KC. Head coach Andy Reid believes that both players have big play potential. Hardman only saw one target […]

Travis Kelce is an Elite Option for Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce got off to a bit of a slow start against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. He managed three receptions and 88 yards, but fantasy owners are used to more from Kelce. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is going to be sidelined for awhile, so Kelce and Sammy Watkins will […]

Sammy Watkins is Strong WR1 Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a historic game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. He caught nine passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is going to be sidelined for quite awhile, so Watkins will be the No. 1 receiver in KC. He's going up […]

Sam Dyson Has Been Shut Down for the Season

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Sam Dyson (biceps) has been shut down for the rest of the regular season. Dyson began feeling pain in his right biceps again, so the team will take the cautious approach. He's scheduled to see doctor Dr. Neal elAttrache in two weeks, so Dyson shouldn't take the mound again in 2019. […]

Edwin Encarnacion Strains His Oblique

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) has been diagnosed with a mild left oblique strain. He suffered it on Thursday, but luckily it doesn't sound like he'll miss the rest of the regular season. However, the Yankees have not announced a timetable for his return yet. DJ LeMahieu will bat leadoff and serve […]

Lourdes Gurriel Activated On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel (quadriceps) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Gurriel has been sidelined since early August due to a strained left quad. He'll bat third and serve as the designated hitter versus lefty James Paxton. He's been pretty reliable with the bat, but Paxton has been tough to […]

Gary Sanchez Sidelined With Groin Injury

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) has been diagnosed with a left groin strain and he could be sidelined for the rest of the regular season. Sanchez missed almost three weeks earlier in the season due to the same issue. The Yankees have not announced a timetable yet, so fantasy owners will just have […]

Starling Marte Remains Out on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Marte injured his wrist last Sunday and has been battling through it all week. He'll sit this one out to rest and he could be doing a lot of that with the Pirates out of contention. […]

Brandon Lowe Could Return This Season

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (leg) might actually be able to return to the team before the end of the regular season. Lowe was expected to miss the rest of the season following shin and quad injuries. However, Lowe will head to instructional camp on Tuesday and get in some live batting practice. […]

Freddie Freeman Expects to Play This Weekend

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) expects to play in either Saturday or Sunday's contest after suffering an injury on Friday. Freeman left Friday's game against the Washington Nationals after aggravating a bone spur in his right elbow. Freeman has been dealing with the issue for awhile now, so he should be able to […]

Devin Smeltzer Named Starter for Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Devin Smeltzer has been named the starting pitcher for the first game of the doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. Smeltzer has a 4.05 ERA across four starts with the Twins this season. He doesn't have enough experience to make him a trustworthy option for DFS contests. He should probably […]

Jonathan Schoop is Resting Against Indians

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for the first game of the doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. Schoop doesn't see a lot of playing time these days, but he should get back into the lineup for the second game. Luis Arraez will bat sixth and play […]

C.J. Cron is Sitting Out the First Game on Saturday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's first game of the doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians. It appears to be a routine off day, so he'll likely be in the lineup for the second game. Willians Astudillo will cover first base and bat ninth versus righty Mike […]

Josh Bell is Sitting Out on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Bell left Friday's game early due to discomfort in his groin. However, the Pirates expect Bell to be fine, so he's considered day-to-day at the moment. Jose Osuna will cover first base and bat cleanup […]

LeSean McCoy is Shaky RB2 for Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy looked good during his Week 1 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. McCoy rushed for 81 yards on 10 attempts, but was unable to find the end zone. Damien Williams is going to see plenty of carries in the backfield, so that's going to limit McCoy's ceiling. McCoy has […]

Damien Williams is Low-End RB2 Option

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams remains the starter for the team, but has quickly lost value in KC. Veteran running back LeSean McCoy ended up out rushing Williams 81-26 last week against the Jaguars. Williams was given 13 attempts on the ground, but only managed 26 yards. It appears that McCoy is going […]
