However, with Rodriguez leaving the team in free agency and being replaced by Rachaad White, one […]

However, in this […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end FLEX ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks has had a difficult start to his professional career.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had an inconsistent rookie season. He enjoyed a hot start and looked to be on breakout watch, totaling 14.2 PPR points in his NFL debut. However, following his 29.0 PPR point performance in Week 5, the second-round rookie […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: There may not have been a player in the fantasy football world to improve their stock more in training camp than rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling. The 49ers' second-round pick has not only risen to the top of the depth chart but has looked […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten had a disappointing rookie season.

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins has enjoyed a surge at the Triple-A level and is on the verge of earning the call to the major leagues. Over his last 11 games at Triple-A St. Paul, the young outfielder has only gone hitless once and has carried an elite .452/.558/.881 line over this stretch. Over […]

Over his last 20 games, King has posted an elite .388/.490/.762 slash line with four doubles, one triple, eight […]

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes has enjoyed a power binge at Triple-A and has put himself in a prime position to join the Mariners for the final stretch.

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has endured a skid at the Triple-A level and has seen his value as a stash option continue to fall. Over his last 22 games at the top club in the Colorado system, the former Georgia standout has posted a rough .200/.311/.322 slash line with three doubles, one […]

Another potential major injury has struck the fantasy world. On Sunday evening, Las Vegas Raiders star running back Ashton Jeanty was seen limping off the practice field.

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Franklin Arias has yet to slow down since moving up to Triple-A and is now firmly in position to debut over the final month of the regular season.
