Aaron Sanchez Could Rejoin Jays This Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (finger) is scheduled to make a start in Double A on Monday. Sanchez may rejoin the Jays by this weekend, according to manager John Gibbons. Sanchez has not pitched well during his last two rehab starts, so hopefully this one is better. Most fantasy owners can take a […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Choo is hitting .400/.483/.520 over the last week, but needed a night off to rest. Adrian Beltre is serve as the DH and bat third against lefty Andrew Heaney. Beltre is back in the lineup […]

Shohei Ohtani is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Ohtani went 1-for-9 over his last three games at the plate, so he'll get the night off to rest. Albert Pujols will serve as the DH and bat cleanup against lefty Martin Perez. Pujols has […]

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It appears that this is just a rest day for Schoop. Orlando Arcia will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth against righty Miles Mikolas. Arcia has struggled with the bat all season, so […]

Ryan Braun is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He continues to deal with rib cage tightness, but the issue is believed to be day-to-day. Keon Broxton will play right field and bat sixth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Broxton can be avoided in […]

Eric Thames is Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Thames injured his right knee while colliding with teammate Lorenzo Cain on Friday. It's assumed this is just a day-to-day issue until the Brewers say it's more serious. Jesus Aguilar will bat cleanup and […]

Billy Hamilton Will Lead Off on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off for the second straight game and play center field versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Hamilton has collected at least one hit or more in each of his last nine games. He's been heating up with the bat in the second half, but Hamilton is not a recommended DFS […]

James McCann is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Grayson Greiner will start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Kohl Stewart. Greiner has been decent with the bat during his limited playing time. Stewart has been awful so far this season, so Greiner […]

Jose Martinez Scratched From the Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez (hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday. Martinez is dealing with tightness in his right hip, so he'll sit this one out. Tyler O'Neill will replace him in right field and bat third against lefty Wade Miley. O'Neill is worth a look as a cheap […]

Carlos Gomez Will Lead Off Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez will lead off and play right field versus lefty David Price on Saturday. Gomez normally bats fifth or lower in the lineup, but will move up with a lefty on the mound. However, Gomez is hitting .043/.083/.043 off Price in his career. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues […]

Josh Harrison is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Adam Frazier will draw the rare start at second base and bat sixth versus righty Tyler Chatwood. Frazier is not normally worth using in DFS, but he could be an interesting option against Chatwood. At worst, […]

Jose Urena Will Start on Sunday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena will draw the start against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Urena is awaiting the hearing for his six-game suspension, so he's eligible to keep pitching. However, Urena has been mediocre at best this season, so he's only worth owning in NL-only leagues. A matchup against the Nationals is not […]

David Bote is Back in the Lineup Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bote will bat third and play third base against righty Joe Musgrove. He's been on fire with the bat lately, but he's expected to cool off at some point. However, until that happens DFS owners can […]

Ian Happ, Albert Almora Jr. Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielders Ian Happ (rest) and Albert Almora Jr. (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ben Zobrist will lead off and play right field, while Jason Heyward bats second and slides over to center field versus righty Joe Musgrove. Both Zobrist and Heyward are worth a […]

Justin Davis, John Kelly Looking to Capitalize Saturday

Los Angeles Rams running backs Justin Davis and John Kelly are looking to capitalize on their impressive starts to the preseason. Kelly ran for 77 yards on 13 attempts in their preseason opener. Davis finished with 41 yards on seven attempts, but both players finished with the same yards per carry in that game. Todd […]

Jared Goff Should See Playing Time On Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play in the preseason opener against the Ravens. Quarterback Brandon Allen finished 10-for-15 for 73 yards and one touchdown, while Sean Mannion went 3-for-13 with 16 yards and one interception. There is no quarterback controversy for the Rams. Goff is going to be the starter, but the […]

Harrison Butker Knocks Down Two Field Goals Friday

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker knocked down both of his field goal attempts during Friday's victory over the Falcons. Butker knocked down an impressive 49 yard field goal on Friday. His long during last season was 53 yards, so it's clear Butker has not lost a step. Butker knocked down 38/42 field goals last […]

Gehrig Dieter Catches TD in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Gehrig Dieter did not see much action during Friday's victory over the Falcons, but he was able to catch a touchdown. Dieter caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from veteran quarterback Chad Henne. Dieter finished the game with two receptions for 36 yards and one touchdown. It's unlikely that Dieter finishes […]

Travis Kelce Quiet in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was held to just two receptions and 27 yards during Friday's victory over the Falcons. It's been a slow start to the preseason for Kelce, but he should see more action the next two weeks. Having Patrick Mahomes under helm should not change Kelce's fantasy value. He should […]

Tyreek Hill Catches Touchdown on Friday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill put together a fairly solid game on Friday, which included a highlight catch that was likely the play of the night around the NFL. Hill caught four passes for 87 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the Falcons. He caught a 69-yard touchdown pass from quarterback […]

Kerwynn Williams, Darrel Williams Continue Lackluster Start

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Kerwynn Williams and Darrel Williams continued their lackluster starts to the preseason on Friday. Kerwynn Williams rushed for 23 yards on eight attempts, while Darrel Williams rushed for 15 yards on six attempts. However, lead back Kareem Hunt finished with 15 yards on seven attempts. It does not appear that […]

Kareem Hunt Struggles in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt saw more attempts in the second preseason game on Friday, but failed to do much with the ball. Hunt collected a total of 15 yards on seven attempts for an average of 2.1 yards per carry. It's early in camp, so the Chiefs aren't going to overload Hunt […]

Chad Henne, Matt McGloin Continue Battling for Backup QB

Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks Chad Henne and Matt McGloin are putting on an impressive battle for backup QB. It appears that Patrick Mahomes is going to be the starting quarterback in KC, but injuries happen and his lack of experience is showing on the field. Through two games Henne has completed 16-for-24 passes with two […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well on Friday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes started off slow in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, but finished with a bang. Mahomes completed eight of twelve passes for 138 yards and one touchdown with one interception on Friday. The word from Chiefs camp is Mahomes has been struggling with interceptions and he threw one right […]

Jose Altuve Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Weekend

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) could go on a rehab assignment in Triple A this weekend, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Altuve took batting practice on the field before Wednesday's game. He has been sidelined since July 26 with discomfort in his right knee. There is a chance that Altuve does return in […]

Jose Urena is Appealing His Six-Game Suspension

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena is reportedly appealing his six-game suspension. Urena was fined and suspended after intentionally hitting Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna with a pitch on Wednesday. It appears that Urena does intend to appeal his suspension, so he could pitch on Sunday. However, Urena has been mediocre this season, so he's […]

David Peralta is Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. It appears that Peralta is getting a rest day, so fantasy owners don't need to worry about an injury. Jon Jay will lead off and play left field against lefty Joey Lucchesi. Jay can be […]

Yasiel Puig Won't Play on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Puig was suspended two games, but it's unclear if this means he's decided against appealing his suspension. Regardless, Kike Hernandez will play right field and bat sixth versus lefty Wade LeBlanc. Hernandez has been slumping […]

Ryan Braun is Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He left Wednesday's game with tightness in his rib cage and is apparently not feeling well enough to play yet. Eric Thames will start in right field and bat seventh, while Jesus Aguilar plays […]

Logan Forsythe Will Lead Off on Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe will lead off and play second base against lefty Matt Boyd on Friday. Forsythe jumps around in the Twins batting order, but it is rare to see him batting first. He went 5-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's victory. Forsythe does not have good numbers […]
