Luke Gregerson Could Open the Season as Closer

St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said he sees reliever Luke Gregerson opening the season as the team's closer if no other moves are made. The Cardinals are still reportedly shopping for relief help, and Mozeliak also mentioned the idea that Jordan Hicks could develop into the closer's role. Gregerson would likely be a […]

Zach Ertz Catches Three Passes on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught three of five targets on Saturday, gaining 32 yards. Ertz tied for the team lead in targets, as coach Doug Pederson tried his best to hide Nick Foles. The Eagles offense centered around the running game and short passes. They'll almost certainly go with a similar game plan […]

Nelson Agholor Catches All Three of His Targets on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught all three of his targets on Saturday, gaining 24 yards. He also ran the ball twice for 20 yards. The Eagles manufactured a few touches for Agholor on Saturday, but he's seen both his floor and his ceiling lower significantly since the Eagles installed Nick Foles under center […]

Alshon Jeffery Leads the Eagles in Receiving on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery led the Eagles in receiving on Saturday, catching four passes on five targets and gaining 61 yards. The Eagles relied on their running backs, especially Jay Ajayi, limiting opportunities for their wide receivers. They'll go with a similar game plan on offense next week in the NFC Championship Game.

LeGarrette Blount Scores a Touchdown on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount scored a touchdown on Saturday in the victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Aside from his score, Blount didn't do much else, ending up running the ball nine times for 19 yards. Like his backfield mate Jay Ajayi, Blount also fumbled in the first quarter. The Eagles will likely set […]

Jay Ajayi Makes Up For a Rough Start on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi started off Saturday's game by fumbling away his first handoff. He made up for it, though, ending up running the ball 15 times for 54 yards and catching three passes for 44 yards. Ajayi was expected to be the focal point of the Eagles offense, but there was certainly […]

Nick Foles Leads the Eagles Over the Falcons

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles led his team to a victory over the Atlanta Falcons by completing 23 of 30 passes for 246 yards without a touchdown or an interception. It wasn't a statistically impressive outing by Foles, but he did his job and led his team into next week's NFC Championship Game. Foles and […]

Jonathan Cooper Undergoes Knee Surgery

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper underwent surgery on his knee to repair a sprained MCL. Cooper suffered the injury in the Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cooper was the seventh overall pick in the 2013 draft, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He's expected to be fully recovered from […]

Zach McAllister, Indians Avoid Arbitration

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Zach McAllister was able to reach an agreement to avoid arbitration with the team, signing a one-year, $2.45 million contract. McAllister was an important part of the Cleveland bullpen in 2017, posting a 2.61 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 66/21 K/BB ratio in 62 innings. He'll return to a middle-relief role in […]

Cowboys Offensive Line Coach Frank Pollack Will Not Return in 2018

Dallas Cowboys offensive line coach Frank Pollack will not return to the team for the 2018 season. This will be the sixth change on head coach Jason Garrett's staff since the season ended and is considered the most significant so far because of all the resources the team has put into its running game. Rumored […]

Brice Butler Won't Re-Sign With the Cowboys Without a Promise That He'll Start

Impending free-agent wide receiver Brice Butler stated in an interview on Thursday that he will not re-sign with the Dallas Cowboys unless he is promised a starting job next season. His exact words were, "With Dallas, the situation has to be right for me to go back [...] I have to be a starter. If […]

Zach Ertz Always a Solid Choice at Tight End

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a solid fantasy option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Ertz takes a bit of a hit of course with Carson Wentz (knee) out and the Eagles expected to rely on the running game. Still, he's Zach Ertz and playmakers like him can make things happen […]

Torrey Smith Not an Option in the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith, as he has been all season, will not be a strong fantasy option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Even when the Eagles offense was clicking on all cylinders with Carson Wentz under center, Smith was a boom-or-bust player who busted almost every time. Now, with Nick […]

Nelson Agholor a Sneaky Play in the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is a sneaky play in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Even though the Eagles offense is expected to run through Jay Ajayi and the running game, Agholor has frequently been quarterback Nick Foles' favorite target. Even with the presence of Alshon Jeffery, Agholor has been the guy […]

Alshon Jeffery Not a Great Divisional Round Play

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is not a great play in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Jeffery gave Eagles fans and fantasy owners plenty to be excited about in the second half of the season, really turning it on after a very slow start. Without quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), however, Jeffery is stuck […]

Corey Clement Not a Strong Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement is not a recommended option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Clement flashed plenty of upside this year and gave Eagles fans and dynasty owners plenty to be excited about for the future, but right now he's just not getting enough playing time to be worth […]

LeGarrette Blount a Touchdown-Dependent Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount is a touchdown-dependent option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Eagles are almost certain to have their offense focus on the running game, but Jay Ajayi is shaping up to be the featured runner on the field. Still, Blount will have his opportunities to mix in […]

Jay Ajayi a Strong Divisional Round Play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is a strong play for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. With the Eagles forced to start Nick Foles at quarterback after Carson Wentz went down with an ACL injury, it's a near certainty that the NFC's top seed will try to run their offense through the running […]

Nick Foles a Mediocre Starting Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is a middling option at best for this week's Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Eagles seem almost certain to run their offense through Jay Ajayi and the running game, so Foles may have limited chances to throw. Foles has been a serviceable backup, but he's struggled in his […]

Maliek Collins Undergoes Foot Surgery

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Maliek Collins (foot) underwent foot surgery on his left foot. The foot had reportedly been bothering him all season. The surgery he had performed was similar to a surgery he had on his other foot prior to his rookie season. That time, he was able to rebound without issue, and the […]

Zack Martin Has Surgery on His Elbow

Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin (elbow) had a clean-up procedure done on his right elbow. It will knock him out of the Pro Bowl, but he's fully expected to be ready for the start of the offseason program. Martin was a key part of the Cowboys offensive line and is slated for the same […]

Jay Ajayi Practices in Full on Tuesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, as were all the Eagles players outside of linebacker Dannell Ellerbee, who was limited. Ajayi got some rest last week during the Eagles' first-round bye, but there never seemed to be much concern regarding his availability for their first playoff game […]

Jay Ajayi Not Practicing on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Eagles have a first-round bye, so there is very little concern about Ajayi missing the first day of practice. Coach Doug Pederson said the team is just giving Ajayi some rest and that he is not at all concerned about the running […]

Nick Foles Given a Vote of Confidence Going Into the Playoffs

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said, “My guy is Nick Foles, end of story.” After Foles ended the regular season with two awful performances, some Eagles fans were asking for second-year quarterback Nate Sudfeld to take over. Pederson may have given credence to some of the rumors by saying, "If you're in desperation mode, […]

Cowboys "In a Good Spot" With Head Coach Jason Garrett

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones commented on his head coach Jason Garrett, saying, "It's not even a thought for me. ... I think we're in a good spot with Jason." There had previously been some rumblings that Garrett was on the hot seat, but this should more or less quell those rumors. Garrett will return […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report Week 25

  Looks like we made it, folks. With only about nine or ten games left for each team, the baseball season is just about over. Of course, there's the playoffs to look forward to, but for most fantasy leagues, things end with Game 162. If you're still here, if you're still following along with our weekly MLB […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report Week 24

We're in the thick of the fantasy playoffs for most leagues, and if you're anything like me, you're stressed, anxious, and hoping to have at least one more week of lineups to set and waiver wires to comb through. September call-ups make for some crowded bullpens, but there is still value that can be found […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report Week 23

I made the playoffs in my main league as the number two seed, so don't worry folks, I still have credibility when I write these fantasy bullpen pieces (I was in the top five in every pitching category, but let's just say I don't write an offense piece each week for a reason...) Hopefully your […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report Week 22

Week 22 is here and both fantasy and "real life" teams are starting to realize the playoffs are much closer than they appear. With September here and teams able to expand their active rosters up to 40, there will be many more bullpen arms tossing innings over the next few weeks. Still, most of these […]
