Darrynton Evans Injures Knee In Preseason Opener

Tennessee Titans running back Darrynton Evans served as the team's lead running back in the team's preseason opener against the Falcons, but exited with a knee after his fourth carry of the game. Evans finished with 26 rushing yards on those four carries, but that impressive start is undercut by the injury concern. Considering a […]

Let's get ready for some more NASCAR action! These daily fantasy NASCAR rankings for Sunday's Go Bowling At The Glen were determined by a combination of DraftKings and FanDuel prices, and the projected DFS points each driver is expected to earn in this week’s race. Each week, we'll present you the weekly rankings, followed by some […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for United Rentals 176 at the Glen (8/7/21)

NASCAR is back! After two weeks with no NASCAR at all and even longer with no Truck Series, we're finally getting things going again. The Truck Series heads to Watkins Glen on Saturday for the final race before the playoffs, which means there are no Cup Series drivers to worry about anymore when it comes […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Watkins Glen Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey 200 (8/7/21)

The Xfinity Series is back after the Olympic break! We've got road course racing this weekend at Watkins Glen in a race that should instantly join the "wow, that title sponsor" pantheon: the Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey 200. Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why […]

Carmelo Anthony Signing With Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran free agent Carmelo Anthony. Anthony joining up with his friend LeBron James shouldn't be a surprise, but it'll be interesting to see how the Lakers deploy Anthony. They also signed Malik Monk on Tuesday, and while the two play different positions, they overlap […]

Malik Monk Signing With Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a deal with free agent guard Malik Monk. It's been a busy offseason for the Lakers, who've signed a lot of depth pieces. Monk might be the signing with the best chance to make a fantasy impact this season though, as he's coming off a season in which […]

Rodney Hood Expected To Sign With Bucks

Toronto Raptors forward Rodney Hood is expected to be released on Tuesday and intends to sign a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks following that release. Hood struggled last season, averaging 4.5 points per game on 36.2 percent shooting, but is just a season removed from averaging 11.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game for […]

James Johnson Signs With Nets

Free agent forward James Johnson has agreed to a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Last season, Johnson averaged 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the floor. Johnson will likely occupy a role similar to the one that Jeff Green had last year for the team, with some time […]

Andre Drummond Agrees To Deal With Sixers

Free agent center Andre Drummond has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Philly is obviously a bad landing spot for Drummond when it comes to fantasy, as he'll be relegated to a reserve role behind Joel Embiid. Drummond has led the NBA in rebounding four times and averaged 12.0 per game last […]

Taj Gibson Returning To Knicks

New York Knicks center/power forward Taj Gibson has agreed to a one-year, $2.7 million deal to return to the Knicks for the 2021-22 season. There's not a ton of fantasy upside, but Gibson did average 5.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season, playing 45 games for the Knicks. He shot 62.7 percent from […]

Quenton Nelson Watches Practice In Boot

Indianapolis Colts left guard Quenton Nelson didn't practice on Tuesday and was seen wearing a boot on the sidelines. This comes after Nelson left practice on Monday with an apparent foot injury. Nelson's arguably the best guard in the NFL and is a vital piece of this offensive attack, so it's worth monitoring the injury. […]

Pharaoh Brown Activated

The Houston Texans have activated tight end Pharaoh Brown from the team's non-football injury list. Brown was seen practicing in pads on Tuesday, so it appears that he's now a full go in camp. Houston's got an interesting tight end room, with Brown competing for snaps with Jordan Akins, Kahale Warring, and rookie Brevin Jordan. […]

Kenny Golladay Leaves Practice With Leg Injury

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay left practice on Tuesday with an apparent leg injury. Considering Golladay was limited last season in Detroit by a hip injury, any lower-body issue should be seen as a concern right now. Maybe Golladay will be fine, but he went inside with a trainer and didn't appear to […]

Colts Not Trading For Nick Foles Or Other Veteran QBs

With quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) sidelined and perhaps set to miss some regular-season time, many have wondered if the Indianapolis Colts will look to trade for a backup quarterback, like Chicago's Nick Foles, who is familiar with the system that the team runs. But according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Colts aren't looking to trade […]

D'Onta Foreman Working Out For Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have long been expected to make a move to shore up their running back depth. On Tuesday, the team brought in former Texans and Titans running back D'Onta Foreman for a visit. Foreman likely won't be able to beat out Mike Davis for starting reps if signed, but he could impact the […]

Keith Kirkwood Leaves Practice On Stretcher

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Keith Kirkwood took a hard hit to the head in practice from defensive back JT Ibe, leading to Kirkwood being taken off the field on a stretcher and Ibe being ejected from practice. Kirkwood was taken away by ambulance. The 26-year-old receiver isn't expected to play much of a role this […]

Deshaun Watson Absent From Tuesday's Practice

Despite his trade request and looming legal troubles, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been present at the team's training camp practices so far. But on Tuesday, with the team having their first padded practice, Watson was not on the field. Considering he's been practicing with the fourth team so far, Watson's absence as the […]

Titans Claim Sam Ficken, Waive Blake Haubeil

The kicker competition in Tennessee has taken a turn, as the Titans have claimed former Jets kicker Sam Ficken off waivers and have waived Blake Haubeil. Haubeil had been competing with Tucker McCann for the role, but both players have struggled in camp, especially on longer kicks. Ficken should be expected to win this job […]

Deshaun Watson Practicing, But With Fourth Team

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is practicing again with the team on Monday, but John McClain of the Houston Chronicle says that he's practicing with the fourth team behind Tyrod Taylor, Davis Mills, and Jeff Driskel. It's another sign that Watson isn't playing football for the Houston Texans in 2021 and that Taylor -- who […]

Nico Collins Having Impressive Camp

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins continued his impressive training camp performance on Monday, catching a deep touchdown after getting past corner John Reid. Collins is expected to play a key role as an outside receiver for this Texans team, though how soon he plays that role is still unclear. It's probably safe to assume […]

Rodrigo Blankenship, Eddy Pineiro Competing For Starting Job

We have a kicker competition on our hands. The Colts have a pair of promising players competing for the starting job, with second-year kicker Rodrigo Blankenship trying to hold off Eddy Pineiro. Blankenship had a decorated college career at Georgia, then went 32-for-37 last season. But he was just 1-for-3 on kicks of at least […]

DeVante Parker Off PUP List, Preston Williams On COVID List

The Miami Dolphins have made a pair of moves at wide receiver, activating DeVante Parker (foot) off the Physically Unable To Perform list and placing Preston Williams on the COVID-19 list. For Parker, this move gets Miami's No. 1 receiver -- for now -- back in the mix as he works to build more rapport […]

Marquise Brown Has Hamstring Injury

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that's reportedly worse than originally thought, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Brown has now missed three consecutive practices. There's still a lot of time before the regular season, so while hamstring injuries are a definite concern, especially with a receiver like […]

Devonta Smith Week To Week With Knee Sprain

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is currently "week to week" with a knee sprain. It doesn't sound like it's something that's worrying the team at this point and a sprain is probably the best-case scenario when it comes to a knee injury, but it's worth noting that Smith will miss some valuable practice […]

Fool Me Once... Second-Year Running Backs Who'll Bust Again

Out of pretty much every NFL position, running back is the one where immediate success should be the most expected. It's a position with the shortest shelf life, so players need to prove themselves quickly. So when a player's rookie year doesn't go well, that's a bad sign. And while some players will have a […]

2021 NBA Draft Winners and Losers - Instant Analysis

Last night, the annual NBA Draft happened. It was wild, and it included a Russell Westbrook trade that I'll be writing about soon in a different article, because there were just too many moving parts there. The first three picks of this draft went as expected, but then things went off the rails after that, […]

O.J. Howard Practices For First Time

For the first time since tearing his Achilles in October, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has practiced with the team. Entering his fifth NFL season, Howard -- a former first round pick -- looks like he isn't going to fulfill the massive promise that he entered the NFL with, though maybe another year […]

Colts Need Michael Pittman Jr. To Take Next Step

The Indianapolis Colts enter the 2021 season without a true No. 1 receiver for quarterback Carson Wentz, as T.Y. Hilton has seen his numbers dip the past two seasons. The team will be looking for second-year receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to be the guy who steps up and takes on that role. According to Zak […]

Blake Haubeil, Tucker McCann Battle For Titans Kicker Job

The Tennessee Titans have a kicker battle in training camp, with Blake Haubeil and Tucker McCann competing for the job. Neither player has attempted a field goal in an NFL game, so training camp results will matter a lot here, which is why Thursday's showing from both players was such a disappointment. Turron Davenport of […]

Melvin Gordon III In Line To Be "Clear-Cut Starter"

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III "is in line to be the clear-cut starter at running back," says The Athletic's Nick Kosmider. While the team drafted Javonte Williams and signed Mike Boone, it appears those two will mainly work as relief for Gordon, at least in the early going. Gordon spent last training camp […]
