Alex Reyes Pitches In The Sixth Inning On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes, formerly the team's closer, pitched in the sixth inning of a 4-2 deficit on Tuesday. Reyes started the season as the closer and locked down the ninth for the first few months of the season, but struggled mightily in August and was removed from the closer's role. Giovanny […]

J.A. Happ Takes Another Loss On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher J.A. Happ lasted five innings in his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Happ was decent, allowing four runs on seven hits in five innings. He did not issue a walk and struck out three. With the Cardinals only scoring two runs, Happ took his eighth loss of […]

Edward Cabrera Ineffectively Wild On Tuesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Edward Cabrera simply could not throw strikes in Tuesday's start against the New York Mets. Cabrera lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on one hit and four walks while hitting two batters. The rookie threw 65 pitches, just 31 strikes. Both batters he hit came with the bases […]

DeVonta Smith Looking For A Quick Start In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith has an excellent matchup in his first real NFL game. Smith and the Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Their defense can stop the running game very well, but they were easily exploited through the air last season. Smith is coming off one of the best […]

Kenneth Gainwell Could Have The Third Down Role

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell could have a bigger role than expected as early as Week 1. Miles Sanders remains the starter and should see the most snaps in the Eagles backfield, but the coaching staff has made it clear that they don't plan to use Sanders as an every-down back. Gainwell was […]

Boston Scott May Have Fallen To Third On The Depth Chart

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott may have fallen to third on the running back depth chart and is likely no longer a fantasy option in most formats. Miles Sanders is the clear starter in the Eagles backfield, although the team has made it clear that they don't want to use him as an every-down […]

Miles Sanders Settled In As A Decent RB2 For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has always has upside to spare, but the way the Eagles have used him and say they will continue to use him this season severely limits his upside. Combine that with a Week 1 matchup against a Falcons defense that was fourth against opposing running backs last season, and […]

Jalen Hurts A Solid Week 1 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has an outstanding option for Week 1 and should be in fantasy lineups as a QB1. Hurts and the Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons, who allowed the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks last season. With the Eagles expected to open up the passing game a bit more this […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Great Option In Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys defense is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 1 lineups. Starting the season off against Tom Brady and the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs, the Cowboys defense is ranked in the bottom-five of fantasy defenses for the week. The main effect the Cowboys defense is expected to have this season […]

Greg Zuerlein A Decent Week 1 Kicking Choice

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a decent kicking option for Week 1 fantasy lineups. With the Cowboys opening up the season against the Tampa Bay Bucs, Week 1 could quickly turn into a shootout with plenty of kicking opportunities for Zuerlein. "Greg the Leg" missed some time with a back injury, but isn't expected […]

Dalton Schultz Will Have More Competition This Season

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was very good last season despite mostly awful quarterback play. This season, Dak Prescott is expected to provide top-tier quarterback play, but Schultz will likely be sharing time with Blake Jarwin. Jarwin was meant to be the starter last season, but he went down with a torn ACL in […]

Blake Jarwin Looking For A Healthy Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is hoping for a much better Week 1 than he had last season, when he tore his ACL and was done for the year. This season, even though the Cowboys offense will certainly be better than it was, Jarwin will have to compete with Dalton Schultz, who emerged in […]

Michael Gallup Should Have Some Week 1 Value

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup doesn't have the upside of some of his teammates, but should still be a solid lower-end option in a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Gallup was the overall WR29 while Dak Prescott was on the field last season, and he's certainly not being drafted as a […]

Miguel Rojas Not Starting On Tuesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (neck/shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Rojas was forced to leave Sunday's game with left trapezius soreness, but Marlins manager Don Mattingly said the issue is minor and likely not something that will linger. The Marlins had Monday off, so this […]

Amari Cooper Undervalued Heading Into Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is undervalued by most fantasy football players heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Before Dak Prescott was out for the season, Cooper was the overall WR13 even with CeeDee Lamb playing at a high level alongside him. In what should be a greatly improved […]

CeeDee Lamb Could Be The Best Cowboys Receiver In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could have a big start to the season in a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. With Dak Prescott back to lead the offense, the Cowboys passing game is expected to see huge improvements from last season. Lamb played most of his snaps in 2020 from the […]

Tony Pollard Not A Safe Option For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is not a great choice for any Week 1 fantasy lineups. Ezekiel Elliott will start and is expected to get most of the work in the Dallas backfield, leaving Pollard around for change-of-pace duties and perhaps occasional third downs. With the Cowboys opening the season against the Tampa Bay […]

Ezekiel Elliott Still A Strong Option Despite A Tough Week 1 Opponent

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has a difficult matchup to open up the season, but should still be a solid fantasy option for Week 1 lineups. "Zeke" and the Cowboys face off against the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs, who had the second best defense against opposing running backs last season. Many fantasy […]

Dak Prescott A Great Choice Despite A Tough Week 1 Matchup

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) is an excellent fantasy option in Week 1 despite a tough Thursday matchup against the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott was dynamic for the short time he was on the field last season, and with Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield along with tons of receiving options running […]

Jazz Chisholm Has A Double And A Triple On Friday

Miami Marlins rookie infielder Jazz Chisholm got halfway to the cycle on Friday, hitting a double and a triple in a 10-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Jazz ended up 2-for-3, adding a walk to his line as well. He scored two runs while lifting his batting average up to .260 and his OPS to […]

Miguel Rojas Has Three Hits In Friday's Win

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas had a three-hit game in Friday's 10-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas went 3-for-3 with three singles, also adding a walk. He scored twice and drove in three runs. With second baseman Jazz Chisholm taking the leadoff spot in this one, Rojas slid down to the second spot in […]

Jesus Sanchez Blasts A Three-Run Homer On Friday

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Jesus Sanchez blasted a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The lefty-hitting rookie went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, and a single. He scored twice and drove in three runs, lifting his batting average to .246 and his OPS to .777. The homer was his […]

Jesus Luzardo Just One Out Shy Of A Quality Start

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo pitched pretty well again on Friday, falling just one out away from a quality start. "The Jesus Lizard" pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three. He lowered his ERA to an even 7.00 and has looked significantly better […]

Brian Anderson Back To The Injured List

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (shoulder) is on his way back to the injured list, and may not play again this season. Anderson previously spent time on the injured list with a left shoulder subluxation, and that's what this new injury is being described as also. If Anderson's season is indeed over, he'll finish […]

Tyree Jackson Makes The Initial Roster

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (back) officially made it to the Eagles 53-man roster. He fractured a bone in his back during a preseason game about two weeks ago, so he'll almost certainly end up on IR before the Eagles play their first game, but the fact that he was officially on the roster […]

Dak Prescott Will Be A "Full Go" For Thursday's Game

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle, shoulder) will be a "full go" for Thursday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott missed most of last season due to a severe ankle injury and then had some trouble throwing this summer due to shoulder issues. Rest and rehab seem to have him, "back where the […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 23 Waiver Wire

The playoffs are coming! The playoffs are coming! Well, not the real playoffs, yet. We still have some time before those. But fantasy playoffs are starting up in some leagues next week while others are already in their first playoff week, so every single little statistic starts to matter more and more. Head to head […]

Trevor Rogers To Start Friday's Game

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers (personal) will be activated from the restricted list to make a start in Friday's game. Rogers was dealing with personal issues and has not made a start since July 31st. He'll return to a 7-6 record and a 2.45 ERA and will try to make a strong finish […]

Will Grier Claimed By The Cowboys

Quarterback Will Grier was claimed off waivers by the Cowboys. Grier, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, immediately enters the picture as the primary backup for starter Dak Prescott in Dallas. After somewhat surprisingly releasing presumed second string quarterback Garrett Gilbert earlier in the week, the Cowboys were left with just Cooper Rush in the quarterback […]

Miguel Rojas Leads Off With A Home Run

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas led off Thursday's game with a solo home run. Rojas took the first pitch of the game and deposited it into the left field seats, giving the Marlins a quick 1-0 lead that wouldn't last too long. Rojas ended up going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and the RBI from […]
