Bijan Robinson A High-End RB1 For Monday Night Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has gone over 100 total yards rushing and receiving in seven of the last eight games and nine of 13 overall. Heavy involvement in both the running and the passing attack, along with finding the end zone on nine occasions, has propelled the 22-year-old to top-five fantasy running back […]

Kirk Cousins Draws Favorable Matchup, But A Risky QB2 In Fantasy Playoffs

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 9, a stretch of four consecutive games without one, while throwing eight interceptions during that time. The 36-year-old has struggled mightily outside of the three games played against the Buccaneers and Cowboys. In those other 10 contests, the veteran signal-caller has a 6:14 […]

Adonai Mitchell Not Lineup-Worthy In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell didn't catch either of his targets back in Week 13, a disappointing outcome considering the Colts were without one of their top pass catchers in Josh Downs. It was Alec Pierce who earned an uptick in targets, not Mitchell, although there wasn't much production to go around anyway with […]

Matt Gay A Stable Play With Limited Upside In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay made just one field goal back before the team's bye week in Week 13, but it was the first time since Week 3 that the 30-year-old was held to just a single field goal. The veteran had been busy since Week 4, knocking 21 footballs through the uprights, which is […]

Alec Pierce Looking Like A Boom/Bust Fantasy Play Again In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce drew the second-most looks of any Colt receiver in Week 13 with six targets, but was only able to secure two of them for 16 yards. His fantasy day was saved, however, on a last-second touchdown that helped Indy to a late-game come-from-behind win. The 24-year-old was averaging four […]

Michael Pittman Jr. A Risky Fantasy Play In Tough Week 15 Matchup

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has at least seven targets and five catches in the last three games since Anthony Richardson was reinserted under center for Indy. It's an encouraging trend after a rough stretch of relative underperformance midseason and after missing Week 10's contest due to a back injury. The 27-year-old was […]

Jonathan Taylor Falls To The Ranks Of RB2 In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor received 25 carries in Week 13, even with Anthony Richardson logging nine rush attempts of his own, nearly topping the century mark in rush yards with 96. It was the sixth time this season that the 25-year-old was given 20 or more carries in the 10 games he's played, […]

Anthony Richardson A Mid-Range QB2 With Some Upside In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had a great fantasy day in Week 13, throwing two touchdown passes, rushing for a touchdown, and scoring a two-point conversion. Fresh off their bye week, the 22-year-old has had an extra week to prepare for Sunday's matchup, although it remains to be seen whether or not that was enough […]

Red Sox Have Had Talks With John Means

A day after landing left-hander Garrett Crochet, the Boston Red Sox are apparently still looking for pitching.

The 31-year-old was an All-Star […]

Mets Still Trying To Bring Back Pete Alonso

Even after landing the crown jewel of the free-agent market in outfielder Juan Soto, the New York Mets are still trying to bring back fan favorite first baseman Pete Alonso.

The San Francisco Giants are said to be the "heavy favorites" for landing free-agent pitcher Corbin Burnes.

Red Sox Working To Land A Starter From The Mariners

On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox acquired starting pitcher Garrett Crochet from the White Sox.

Orioles Interested In Acquiring Dylan Cease

The Baltimore Orioles are in the market for pitching help as it seems less and less likely that free-agent right-hander Corbin Burnes will be returning to the team in 2025, so the O's are reportedly interested in acquiring the Padres' Dylan Cease. The 28-year-old is set to become a free agent in 2026 and the […]

Reds Interested In Luis Robert Jr.

The Cincinnati Reds have "checked in on" outfielder Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox in an effort to upgrade their outfield, both on defense and on offense.

The Rule 5 Draft will take place Wednesday at 2 p.m. EST, and the Chicago White Sox have the first pick after finishing last season with the worst record in baseball.

Nolan Arenado Would Green Light Trades To Six Teams

St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak recently acknowledged that the team was interested in trading third baseman Nolan Arenado, but with Arenado's full no-trade clause in his contract, the 10-tim Gold Glover would have to approve of any trade. The 33-year-old already has said he would be willing to switch to first […]

Anthony Santander Drawing Interest From AL East Clubs

Free-agent outfielder Anthony Santander is drawing strong interest from the Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Yankees -- all teams who missed out on the Juan Soto sweepstakes. Santander is a switch-hitting power hitter who has hit 105 home runs over the last three seasons combined, including a career-high 44 last season. The 30-year-old also set […]

Brewers Still A Possibility For Garrett Crochet

The Milwaukee Brewers are "engaged with the White Sox" for the services of pitcher Garrett Crochet.

Dodgers, Blake Treinen Agree On Two-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back reliever Blake Treinen on a two-year, $22 million contract. The 36-year-old had a fantastic season coming out of the 'pen for the Dodgers, recording 16 holds and a save on the back of a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and an 11:56 BB:K over 46 2/3 IP. It was […]

Roki Sasaki Has Officially Been Posted

Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki has officially been posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan, opening a 45-day window that will allow teams on Tuesday to begin negotiations for the right-hander's services.

Kyle Pitts A Non-Factor Again With One Catch In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was a non-factor in the passing game yet again in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. The 24-year-old recorded six targets but caught just one pass for 14 yards, which was the fourth time in the last five games that he caught just one or fewer passes. Even if […]

Drake London Records 70 Scoreless Yards In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London earned 10 looks in Week 14 but was able to haul in just five of those passes, tallying 70 yards receiving in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings.
