Boston Scott Looking At Backup Duties For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott looks set to enter Week 1 as the backup for starter Miles Sanders. Sanders has been dealing with a hamstring injury though, so if he were to suffer any setbacks, Scott's Week 1 role would grow significantly. As it stands though, Sanders is fully expected to play, and Scott […]

Miles Sanders A Solid RB1 Choice For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was dealing with a slight hamstring strain, but it does not seem to be putting his availability for Week 1 at any kind of risk. Sanders should easily lead the backfield in Philadelphia this year after Jordan Howard departed. Coach Doug Pederson always uses some kind of timeshare approach […]

Carson Wentz Should Be Good To Go For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been off to the side in practice this week because of a soft-tissue injury. It doesn't seem to be causing any concern about his availability for Week 1, however. The Eagles will take on the Washington Football Team in Week 1, and that makes for a good matchup for […]

Cowboys Defense Not The Best Option In Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a strong Week 1 option. Facing off against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere around the 18-20 range for DSTs. The Cowboys are fairly solid up front, but they could have some real struggles in the secondary this season. Combined […]

Greg Zuerlein A Solid Kicker In A Solid Offense

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein should be a solid kicking option all season and is ranked as a top-five kicker for Week 1 against his former team, the Los Angeles Rams. Zuerlein has had some accuracy issues popping up lately like they did earlier in his career, but the Cowboys offense provides tons of kicking […]

Blake Jarwin Should Be Effective As Long As He's On The Field

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin should make for a solid fantasy tight end given the Cowboys fast-paced, powerful offense. But, he'll need to be on the field to make an impact. Some Cowboys beat writers have voiced concern about Jarwin's blocking ability, which could keep him off the field somewhat more often than expected. […]

CeeDee Lamb Set Up As A Week 1 Starter

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is set to start in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. Lamb of course got no preseason games and is coming from the Big-12, where defenses essentially don't exist, so he could have a bit of a bigger learning curve than some are expecting. Still, with Mike […]

Michael Gallup Checks In As A WR3 For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup makes for a solid WR3 option in Week 1 fantasy lineups. Like usual, Gallup carries nice upside and a formidable floor in a fast-paced Dallas offense. Coach Mike McCarthy says Gallup is, "a number one wide receiver in [his] view." Incoming rookie CeeDee Lamb could eat into some of […]

Amari Cooper Missing Practice Time Ahead Of Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is missing practices or practicing with a limited designation leading up to Week 1. Cooper's limited practices are for "preventative measures" according to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, but it's of course something to keep an eye on with Week 1 approaching. For now, Cooper is expected to be on […]

Ezekiel Elliott A Great Week 1 Option

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is, as usual, a great option for Week 1 fantasy lineups. Elliott dealt with a positive COVID-19 test along with other drama earlier in the offseason, but he is reportedly fine now and ready to go as one of the few running backs left in the league that rarely […]

Dak Prescott Ranked As The Third-Best Week 1 Option

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is being ranked as the third-best quarterback option for Week 1 lineups. He does have one of the widest ranges in predictions, though, as many writers have him at or near No. 3, but some have him ranked as low as 16. With a new weapon in rookie wide receiver […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 7 Waiver Wire

In the wild 2020 season, it made sense that we had a somewhat wild 2020 trade deadline. The trade deadline is a legitimate baseball holiday, and without an All-Star Game this year, it became the most exciting day in the regular season. The Padres went wild and made all the headlines, acquiring basically a whole […]

Sixto Sanchez Takes A Tough Loss On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez took a tough loss in Wednesday's game. He pitched seven innings, allowing just two runs on six hits. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. The rookie didn't have the elite swing-and-miss stuff in this one as he did in his last start, but he […]

Dexter Fowler Goes On The Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler was placed on the injured list on Wednesday. Fowler takes a medication for his stomach that leaves him somewhat immunocompromised, so of course the team did not want to take any chances with COVID-19 still raging. He's expected to be able to rejoin the team soon after the 10 […]

Elieser Hernandez Placed On The Injured List

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right lat strain. Hernandez was forced to leave his start on Tuesday and now could miss a large part of what's left of the regular season. Jose Urena will take his starting spot for now, until he shows the […]

Jose Urena To Take A Rotation Spot

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena is expected to take the rotation spot left open by Elieser Hernandez's injury. Hernandez could be out for the rest of the regular season, leaving the door open for a well-below average starter in Urena to take starts for a team contending for a playoff berth. Urena keeps getting chances […]

Brad Miller Racks Up Seven RBI On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/DH Brad Miller had an excellent offensive game on Tuesday, driving in seven runs. He went 4-for-6 with a two-run double, two two-run home runs, and a run scoring single. Miller is up to a .317/.450/.619 line and should continue to rake in the Cardinals designated hitter spot. He's a good option […]

Elieser Hernandez Removed From Tuesday's Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez was removed from his start on Tuesday, apparently with an injury. While there has been no word on the extent of the injury, reporters and Marlins President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill, who happened to be on the TV broadcast at the time, mentioned that Hernandez had been dealing […]

Marlins Calling Up Jazz Chisholm

The Miami Marlins have called up shortstop Jazz Chisholm, and he will be active for tonight's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Chisholm is one of the top prospects in the Marlins system and will presumably see playing time immediately. He's exclusively played shortstop in the minors, but the Marlins have an opening at second […]

Trevor Rogers Pitches Well On Monday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers pitched well in his second major league start on Monday. He tossed five innings, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five. Rogers was hard to hit in his big league debut but threw a lot of balls out of the strike zone. […]

Jesus Aguilar Dealing With Back Stiffness

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar has been out of the lineup lately due to back stiffness. He will not travel with the team for the make-up game on Monday against the New York Mets. Even though Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Aguilar could be available as a pinch hitter for Sunday's game, it seems […]

Carson Wentz Listed As Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is officially listed as day-to-day due to a soft tissue injury. While that sounds concerning, there doesn't seem to be a lot of worry around the organization about their franchise quarterback. Wentz will certainly take it easy all week in practice and may even sit out the majority of the […]

Jalen Reagor Expected To Miss Four Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor is expected to miss four weeks due to a shoulder injury. Reagor suffered a slight tear in his labrum that will not require surgery, but will require extended rest. For now, it seems like the rookie avoided a serious injury, although there is always a chance of re-injury […]

Adam Wainwright Goes The Distance In Sunday's Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright threw a complete game on his birthday, leading the Cardinals to a 7-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Wainwright went all nine innings, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine. He allowed two runs in the second inning and then no more […]

Garrett Cooper Drives In Four Runs On Sunday

Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper had an excellent game on Sunday, going 2-for-5 with a home run and a double. He scored two runs and drove in four. Cooper hit a solo shot in the sixth inning before smacking a three-run double in the seventh. He's just back from the COVID-19 list, but he's […]

Sandy Alcantara Struggles In His First Game Back

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (COVID-19) struggled in his first game back from the injured list. He pitched four innings, allowing eight runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out just two batters. Alcantara allowed two home runs in the first inning but was able to settle down a little […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

We've only had about 30 games per team (or way less for some), but it's already almost the trade deadline! This season's trade deadline is on Monday, August 31st, and while there have already been a few trades made, there will certainly be a flurry before Monday afternoon. One thing we as baseball fans can […]

Daniel Ponce de Leon Gets Just Two Outs On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Ponce de Leon was only able to get two outs in his start against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. He ended up with 2/3 of an inning pitched, allowing four runs on two hits and four walks. Ponce de Leon threw 41 pitches, with only 17 of them going […]

Garrett Cooper Comes Off The IL And Gets Two Hits

Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper (COVID-19) was activated from the injured list on Friday and immediately put into the starting lineup. Cooper played as the designated hitter in the fourth spot in the batting order, and should see more time in that spot going forward. In his first game back, he went 2-for-4 with a […]

Sixto Sanchez Sensational Again On Friday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez was outstanding in the second start of his career. He tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just six hits and one walk while striking out 10. Sanchez had all three of his pitches working and touched 101 mph with his fastball. He looked unhittable at times and is easily […]
