Every NFL Team's Biggest Offseason Need - All 32 Franchises

With free agency and the NFL Draft just around the corner, it is the perfect time to pinpoint what positions all 32 NFL franchises need to address during the offseason.


Bubba Chandler Assigned To Minor-League Camp

The Pittsburgh Pirates have reassigned pitching prospect Bubba Chandler to minor-league camp. Chandler entered camp with a chance to compete for a spot on the major-league roster but instead, the team will opt to continue his development in the minor leagues. Last season, the 22-year-old received his first extended look at the Double-A level and […]


Bryan Woo Tallies Six Strikeouts On Thursday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo tallied six punchouts across 2 1/3 innings of work on Thursday. Woo allowed just one hit and served up one free pass. This is a great sign for the 25-year-old, as an increase in strikeout production could increase his fantasy value significantly. Last season, Woo logged a career-high 121 […]


Bo Naylor Goes Deep Twice On Thursday

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor went 2-for-4 with two home runs during Thursday's spring training contest. Naylor tallied four RBI, which were all of Cleveland's runs during this contest. Last season, Naylor logged a career-high 123 contests and held a .201/.264/.350 slash line with 10 doubles and 13 home runs. He generated a .196 xBA […]


Robert Garcia Tosses Shutout Frame In Spring Debut

Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher Robert Garcia (forearm) tossed a shutout frame during his spring debut on Thursday against the San Diego Padres. Garcia allowed one free pass and tallied one punchout. Garcia was battling nerve irritation in his left forearm during the early part of spring training. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production […]


Marcus Stroman Expected To Start Season In Rotation

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman is expected to open the season in the starting rotation. With Luis Gil (lat) expected to miss a significant period of time at the start of the campaign, Stroman is the top candidate to replace him in the rotation. Last season, the 33-year-old made his Yankees debut and […]


Nick Loftin Exits On Thursday With Illness

Kansas City Royals infielder Nick Loftin (illness) exited Thursday's contest early due to an illness. Loftin returned to the starting nine in this game after missing most of the week due to a wrist injury. However, it appears Loftin may need to miss additional time. Before exiting, Loftin went 0-for-2 at the plate. Through seven […]


Sam Long Throws Bullpen On Thursday

Kansas City Royals left-handed pitcher Sam Long (hand) threw a bullpen session on Thursday. Long was hit by a line drive on Monday but avoided any serious injuries. While his hand was still sore, the southpaw was able to throw his first session, which was a positive sign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his […]


Jake Guentzel Nets Hat Trick On Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Jake Guentzel scored a hat trick during their victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday evening. Guentzel would do all of his damage in the second period. His first two goals were scored during 5-on-5 play while his final was scored on the power-play. This performance extended his scoring streak […]


Cale Makar Has Career Game On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar tallied an impressive six points during their 7-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday evening. Makar began the evening by tallying two points in the opening frame. He first tallied the primary helper on Joel Kirviranta's shorthanded goal and then would add a power-play goal. In the second, […]


Jordan Greenway Exits Early On Thursday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jordan Greenway (illness) exited Thursday's contest with an illness. Greenway was able to log just over 12 minutes of ice time before being sidelined. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening against the Florida Panthers. Since returning from his undisclosed injury, […]


Victor Hedman Exits Thursday's Contest Early

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (undisclosed) exited Thursday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Hedman exited the game in the opening frame and did not return. After the contest, head coach Jon Cooper said "We'll see tomorrow. It's tough to lose him anytime. … hopefully, we'll see about Saturday." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor […]


Oilers Acquire Jake Walman

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired defenseman Jake Walman from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Carl Berglund and a 2026 first round selection. The first round pick is top 12 protected. In addition, if the Oilers were to trade their 2027 first round, the Sharks would then receive the 2026 pick. The 29-year-old […]


Brock Nelson Traded To Colorado

The New York Islanders have traded center Brock Nelson to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Calum Ritchie, Oliver Kylington, a conditional 2028 third round pick, and a conditional first round selection. The Islanders also received 23-year-old William Dufour. Nelson has spent his entire NHL career playing with the New York Islanders. He was drafted […]

NHL DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (3/7/25)

Hello, RotoBallers! The NHL season is in full swing, and we have an action-packed six-game slate on Friday, March 7. In this piece, I will discuss my favorite forward lines to target, defensemen, and goalies in tonight's action. Keep updated with any injury notes on our newsfeed before setting your lineup. If you have questions […]


Oscar Colas Exits On Thursday With Wrist Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas (wrist) exited Thursday's spring training contest early due to a wrist sprain. The team noted that the outfielder is day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue his status as he may be held out of the lineup for a few days. The 26-year-old is currently competing for a depth role in […]


Sean Reid-Foley Clears Waivers

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Sean Reid-Foley cleared waivers. The Mets placed Reid-Foley on waivers earlier this week and will now begin his 2025 campaign with Triple-A Syracuse. Last season, Reid-Foley logged 21 2/3 innings with the Mets and held a strong 1.66 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP. He tallied 25 punchouts but showed weak […]


Carlos Estevez Throws "Best" Bullpen Session

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Carlos Estevez (back) threw his "best" bullpen session on Wednesday and is set to complete his next session on Saturday. Estevez has been battling lower-back tightness since late-February. However, it appears the 32-year-old has been progressing well and may avoid missing time during the regular season. Fantasy managers should continue […]


Alec Marsh Facing Live Hitters On Sunday

Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Alec Marsh (shoulder) is set to face live hitters for the first time on Sunday. The 26-year-old has been able to complete several bullpen sessions and will now take the next step in his recovery plan. Marsh was battling tightness in his shoulder during the offseason, which delayed him at […]


Salvador Perez Set To Return To Lineup On Friday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (eye) has bruising below his eye but is "all good" and set to return to the starting nine on Friday. Perez exited Wednesday's contest early due to the laceration. However, the veteran backstop avoided a significant injury and will not miss any time. The 34-year-old was also able to […]


Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Starting on Thursday

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will get the starting nod on Thursday evening when the Sabres travel to Tampa Bay to face the Lightning. Luukkonen is carrying a two-game losing skid into this contest and will have an easy matchup facing a potent Tampa Bay offense. Over his last two games, Luukkonen has held a […]


Mackenzie Blackwood Facing Former Team On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will take the starter's crease on Thursday evening against his former club, the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks traded Blackwood earlier this season and the 28-year-old has been one of the best netminders in the sport since moving to Colorado. He is currently riding a two-game winning streak into Thursday's […]


Josh Manson Returning On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) is set to return to the starting lineup on Thursday evening against the San Jose Sharks. Manson has been sidelined for the past seven contests with this injury. As a result, Oliver Kylington will likely move out of the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should expect Manson to return […]


Jason Zucker Not Playing On Thursday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) will not be available for Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Zucker will now miss his fifth-straight contest. However, Mike Harrington noted that his absence is still injury related and not related to roster management. As a result, Jordan Greenway will continue to see time on […]


Michael Bunting Not Expected To Play This Weekend

Nashville Predators left wing Michael Bunting (abdomen) is viewed as a day-to-day and is not expected to suit up this weekend. Bunting underwent an operation to remove his appendix last week. On Wednesday evening, the Penguins traded Bunting to Nashville in exchange for Thomas Novak and Luke Schenn. Through 58 games this season, Bunting has […]


Brian Dumoulin Traded To New Jersey

The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Brian Dumoulin to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2025 second-round selection and forward prospect Herman Traff. Dumoulin has spent the entire 2024 campaign with the Ducks. Across 61 contests, Dumoulin has tallied 16 points (two goals) with 57 shots on goal and 10 penalty minutes. Dumoulin […]


Eddys Leonard Shifted To Minor-League Camp

The Detroit Tigers have assigned shortstop Eddys Leonard to minor-league camp. Leonard was competing for a depth role on the major-league roster during camp but instead, the team will opt for him to continue his development in the minor leagues. Last season, the 24-year-old received his first extended look at Triple-A and posted a .263/.326/.455 […]


Joe La Sorsa Makes Spring Debut

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Joe La Sorsa (illness) made his spring training debut on Monday. La Sorsa tossed a shutout frame against the Milwaukee Brewers. He tallied two punchouts and did not allow a baserunner. The southpaw was sidelined during the early part of camp due to an illness. However, seeing him return to action […]


Greg Jones Optioned To Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies have optioned outfielder Greg Jones to Triple-A. Jones was competing for a depth role on the major-league roster during camp. However, given his lack of production in spring training, the team will opt for him to continue his development with Triple-A Albuquerque. Jones made his MLB debut last season and tallied just […]


Lazaro Montes Flashing Upside At Spring Training

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes has gone 4-for-9 with a double and two home runs during his first taste of spring training. Montes has tallied six RBI and held a 3:3 BB:K ratio. He is one of just three Mariners who have gone deep at least twice during camp. Montes has only seen time […]
