Mike Tauchman Likely Done for the Season

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman (calf) is expected to miss the rest of the 2019 season following an injury.

Tauchman struggled as of late, […]

Ramon Laureano is Out on Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros.

Bryce Harper Returns on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Harper was hit in the hand during Friday's game and has missed the last two games since then. It appears to be a minor issue, so he's feeling well enough to play in this one. Harper […]

Harrison Butker Notches Four Field Goals

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had himself an excellent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Butker is already known as one of the better kicker in the league, but he proved that point on Sunday. He knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in this contest. Butker scored 16 points […]

Travis Kelce Only Hauls in Three Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could've had a big day in fantasy, but failed to haul in over half his targets.

Watkins caught nine receptions for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the fifth biggest receiving performance in team history.

LeSean McCoy Rushes for 81 Yards Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy had a solid game on the ground, but it didn't develop into many fantasy points. McCoy rushed 10 times for 81 yards and he did not score in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lead back Damien Williams only rushed for 26 yards on 13 attempts. It […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Victory

He caught six passes for 39 yards and finished second on the team in total receptions. LeSean McCoy out-rushed him, but Williams […]

He didn't do as much in the second […]

Darwin Thompson Has Minimal Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson went from late-round steal to the waiver wire in a matter of a week.

Lead back Damien Williams and McCoy are expected to see almost all the touches in […]

Travis Kelce Should Dominate on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was basically unstoppable last season and that's expected to carry over into this season. Kelce has scored 18 touchdowns since the start of the 2017, which is tied for the most among tight ends. He heads into a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 that struggle […]

Sammy Watkins A WR2 Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins is once again predicted to have a solid fantasy season, but injuries are going to dictate that. Watkins seems to have the potential to be a reliable fantasy wideout, but it never comes to fruition. Tyreek Hill is going to be the No. 1 receiver for the Chiefs, […]

Bryce Harper is Fine After Getting Hit

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (hand) avoided any serious injury after getting hit on the wrist during Friday's game against the New York Mets. Harper said afterwards he was unable to grip the bat. However, the Phillies are listing him as day-to-day with a hand contusion. The X-rays came back negative, so he'll likely just […]

Matt Carpenter is Out on Saturday

Nelson Cruz Exits Early on Friday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) was removed early from Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Cruz is dealing with a sore left wrist, but this appears to be a minor issue. Cruz is hitting .305/.384/.627 with 35 home runs and 92 RBI this season, so the Twins can't afford to lose him. He […]

George Springer Able to Swing on Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (concussion) was able to get into the cage and take some swings on Friday. He suffered a mild concussion after crashing into the wall on Tuesday. The fact that he's taking batting practice is a good sign that he'll hopefully be able to return soon. He's been having a monster […]

Nick Senzel Remains Sidelined on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Tyler Glasnow Will Start Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) will be activated from the injured list and make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

Joe Ross Scratched From Start

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves.

Austin Voth will draw the […]

Mike Yastrzemski Sits Out on Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Craig Kimbrel Expects to Return Thursday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel (elbow) expects to return from the injured list when first eligible on Thursday.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Polanco did not play on Thursday due to a minor finger issue. Polanco will bat second and play shortstop versus righty Adam Plutko. Polanco is hitting over .400 during the last week, so he's an excellent […]
