Oscar Santos Showing Improvement In Minors

Arizona Diamondbacks minor league catcher Oscar Santos hasn't done a whole lot to impress this season, hitting just .206 with a miserable 40.6 percent strikeout rate. He hasn't shown off much power, lacks speed, and has thrown out just 18.2 percent of base-stealers. The 21-year-old has been in Single-A since last September and doesn't seem […]

Yu-Min Lin Flirts With No-Hitter

Arizona Diamondbacks pitching prospect Yu-Min Lin has garnered plenty of attention lately, and rightfully so. The 19-year-old Taiwanese lefty may be just 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, but he is still mighty when he takes the mound. Lin has posted otherworldly numbers in his first pro season, all while showing effective stuff. Most notably, he has […]

Cade Marlowe Puts Power On Display

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Cade Marlowe, 25, was selected in the 20th round of the 2019 draft. The left-handed hitter is solid in all facets of the game, though his most noticeable improvements have come at the plate, where he has cut down on strikeouts and continued to develop impressive power. He now has 46 […]

Cody Laweryson Has Impressive Week In Minors

Minnesota Twins pitching prospect Cody Laweryson has posted impressive numbers between High-A and Double-A this season. The former 14th-round pick doesn't have a whole lot of heat behind his pitches, but he gets the job done with his off-speed offering. FanGraphs' Eric Longenhagen and Tess Taruskin put it best, writing, "Laweryson is in the 'How […]

Biggest Week 1 Busts: Fantasy Football Reactions for Mike Williams, Alvin Kamara, Cam Akers, Dameon Pierce, Allen Robinson

The first NFL Sunday of the 2022 season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your week went. However, this week's slate of games were certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Hot MLB Prospects To Watch For Fantasy Baseball - Week 23

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The final full month of regular season baseball is underway. We're heading into Week 24 of the fantasy baseball season, and the minor league season rages on. It would be foolish to proceed without highlighting the top performances from Week 23. It's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have […]

Jason Sanders Achieves Perfection In Week 1

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 2-for-2 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals during the team's Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. His two field goals came from 43 and 49 yards out. As long as he can continue to be accurate, the Dolphins have a strong enough offense to support […]

Dolphins Defense Forces Three Turnovers, Scores Touchdown

The Miami Dolphins defense left its mark in Week 1, tallying two fumble recoveries, one interception and one touchdown while defeating the New England Patriots. Brandon Jones and Kader Kohou forced fumbles while Melvin Ingram and Jaelan Phillips tallied recoveries. Ingram's recovery turned into a two-yard scoop-and-score, giving Miami a defensive touchdown. Additionally, Jevon Holland […]

Raheem Mostert Registers Six Touches Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed five times for 16 yards against the New England Patriots on Sunday. He also hauled in his lone target for 16 yards through the air. The veteran back is the clear No. 2 behind Chase Edmonds in both the running and passing game. He's a fine insurance option […]

Chase Edmonds Gets Involved As Receiver In Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds rushed 12 times for 25 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 1. He also hauled in all four of his target for an additional 40 yards through the air. While Edmonds' performance on the ground was certainly disappointing, he made up for it with a good effort […]

Tyreek Hill Commands A Dozen Targets Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill totaled 12 targets, eight catches and 94 yards in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He led the team in all three of those categories. Hill was the clear No. 1 receiving option in the Miami offense and has quickly earned quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's trust. He should be […]

Jaylen Waddle Finds End Zone In Season Opener

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle turned five targets into four catches, 69 yards, and one touchdown during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. He was the clear No. 2 option behind Tyreek Hill, but he still turned in an impressive performance that put him in the WR2 territory this […]

Mike Gesicki Underwhelms In Week 1 Outing

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in his lone target for just one yard during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. His lack of involvement wasn't a major surprise considering Miami's weapons and New England's strong safety room, but his final stat line was still lower than expected. Next […]

Tua Tagovailoa Leads Dolphins To Week 1 Victory

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 23 of 33 passes for 270 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. He didn't have a great fantasy performance, but he did his job by limiting turnovers and leading Miami to a 1-0 record. Most importantly, we now have […]

Darius Slayton A Healthy Scratch Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. This news isn't a major surprise considering the Giants have a relatively deep wide receiver room consisting of Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, Sterling Shepard, and Wan'Dale Robinson. Of that group, Toney has the most fantasy value, but […]

Kayvon Thibodeaux, Azeez Ojulari Inactive For Week 1

New York Giants linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Their absences could prove to be quite negative for the New York defense, all while giving the Titans' playmakers some additional fantasy value. Specifically, this news bodes well for the outlooks of Ryan Tannehill […]

J.J. Watt Officially Inactive For Week 1

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is inactive for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The star pass-rusher did not practice this week. His absence, although expected, will hurt the Cardinals' defense in a big clash with the Chiefs. At the same time, the news could bode well for the fantasy values of […]

J.C. Jackson Inactive Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as doubtful, though there was some optimism that he might be able to play. Instead, the Chargers will hold him out at least one more week (and perhaps two if he can't handle […]

Donald Parham Jr., Isaiah Spiller Officially Inactive For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and running back Isaiah Spiller (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Parham's absence means that Tre' McKitty will be the lone backup behind Gerald Everett. Meanwhile, in the backfield, Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel will fill depth roles behind […]

David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins Officially Inactive Sunday

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and right tackle Elgton Jenkins (pectoral, knee) are both officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The absences of these two talented linemen could limit quarterback Aaron Rodgers' comfort in the pocket, as well as hinder the effectiveness of running backs Aaron Jones and AJ […]

Ronald Jones Not Suiting Up Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. He did not enter this weekend with an injury designation, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, and Isiah Pacheco will be active. It's a hard backfield to figure […]

Trey McBride Won't Play Week 1

Arizona Cardinals rookie tight end Trey McBride is inactive for Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had not been given an injury designation beforehand, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old will ride the bench while Zach Ertz, Maxx Williams, and Stephen Anderson suit up. Of the three active tight […]

Allen Lazard Officially Inactive

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) is officially inactive for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. This comes as no surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful entering the weekend. In his absence, Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs will serve as the top wide receivers. Expect Robert Tonyan, Aaron […]

Ja'Wuan James Suffers Serious Ankle Injury

Baltimore Ravens tackle Ja'Wuan James suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 1 and is doubtful to return. This is brutal news for a Baltimore offensive line that was already without Ronnie Stanley (ankle). As a result, fantasy managers should expect a slight decrease in production from the Ravens' playmakers, including quarterback Lamar Jackson and […]

Elijah Mitchell Ruled Out With Knee Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. He rushed six times for 41 yards before exiting. Jeff Wilson and Jordan Mason will round out the backfield for the remainder of the contest, but Deebo Samuel should also continue to […]

Tee Higgins Downgraded To Out

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been ruled out with a concussion. He exited Sunday's game after catching two passes for 27 yards and will now miss the remainder of the contest. He had initially been listed as questionable before being downgraded. Tyler Boyd will step up as the No. 2 receiver behind Ja'Marr […]

Tee Higgins Being Evaluated For Concussion

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return. He hauled in two passes for 27 yards before exiting. Although the designation leaves the door open for Higgins to return, Cincinnati will surely exercise caution considering it's only Week 1. If Higgins is forced to miss […]

Damien Williams Exits With Rib Injury

Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams suffered a rib injury in the first quarter of Sunday's season opener versus the New Orleans Saints. He is questionable to return. The news leaves Cordarrelle Patterson as the Falcons' lone running back since Tyler Allgeier was a healthy scratch. Fullback Keith Smith could also get involved out of […]

Julio Jones Displays Speed In Training Camp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones "clocked the fastest time of any player on his team during training camp practices," according to Ian Rapoport. Evidently, even as Jones' age increases, his speed remains quite impressive. The veteran wideout should use his speed to his advantage, getting open and racking up YAC in 2022. He's […]

Trey Sermon Not Suiting Up Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Trey Sermon is a healthy scratch for Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions. This is no surprise considering the Eagles have plenty of trust in their three-headed backfield of Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell, and Boston Scott. Sermon garnered plenty of hype with the 49ers as a rookie last season, but […]
