Zach Thompson

1518 articles

Zach has been covering fantasy sports across multiple platforms and websites since 2008, and he's been playing fantasy sports since the late 90s, when he totaled the fantasy scores from the box scores in the newspaper. He has covered a variety of sports from a fantasy perspective, including the main ones like baseball, basketball, golf, football, and hockey, while also jumping into some more exotic options like Australian Rules Football and rugby. Basically, any sport that has a fantasy format--he'll play it! Even though he grew up almost 8,000 miles away in Guam, he was raised a diehard Boston sports fan. After playing soccer competitively throughout high school and college, Zach now lives in central Massachusetts with his wife and four children. He attends as many games in as many sports as possible and has found a passion for watching minor league baseball and tracking player development. Zach specializes in finding bargain plays from obscure spots, and nothing is sweeter than when a low ownership bargain option carries your fantasy team to the win!

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Thursday Against Charlotte

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will not play Thursday in his team's first game back after two international matchups against the Grizzlies over the last week. Wagner was sidelined for over a month due to a sprained left ankle before returning for the games in Germany and London, but he won't be ready for […]


LaMelo Ball Questionable for Thursday's Matchup in Orlando

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (thumb) is listed as questionable for the second game of his team's back-to-back, which is scheduled for Thursday night in Orlando. Charlotte played the star guard off the bench on Wednesday against the Cavaliers, and he went just 1-for-15 from the field in 22 minutes while also picking up this […]


Moussa Cisse Upgraded to Probable

Dallas Mavericks center Moussa Cisse (illness) will likely be active on Thursday night for his team's home game against the Warriors. He was upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely serve as the team's primary backup center behind Dwight Powell since Daniel Gafford (ankle) was downgraded to doubtful. Cisse has put together three straight […]


Daniel Gafford Downgraded to Doubtful Thursday Against Golden State

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Thursday night's home game against the Warriors. Gafford has missed three straight games with his right ankle sprain and doesn't look likely to return Thursday. With Anthony Davis (finger) also sidelined, Dwight Powell and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely get most of the […]


Khris Middleton Upgraded to Available Thursday Against Denver

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (illness) was upgraded from questionable to available for his team's rematch with the Nuggets on Thursday. The veteran forward had 16 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in Denver last Saturday and has been turning in good numbers in the absence of Bilal Coulibaly (back) for the last week. Middleton […]


Bilal Coulibaly Not Ready to Return Thursday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (back) was downgraded from questionable to out for Thursday night's game against the Nuggets. Coulibay has been sidelined since last Wednesday when he left his team'sloss to the Clippers in the second quarter with lower back tightness. While he has been out, Justin Champagnie has been getting more work, while […]


Josh Giddey Likely to Play Thursday Against the Timberwolves

Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) was upgraded from questionable to probable for Thursday night's matchup in Minnesota. Giddey has been sidelined for more than three weeks since Dec. 29 with his hamstring injury, and his return will be a huge boost for the Bulls' offense. Before the injury, Giddey averaged 19.2 points, 9.0 […]


Jalen Suggs Ruled Out Thursday

Orlando Magic point guard Jalen Suggs (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday ahead of his team's home game against the Hornets. Suggs will miss his eighth straight game due to right knee MCL contusion, although he seems to be nearing a return. Head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs responded well after […]


Taylor Rogers Signs One-Year Deal With Twins

Free-agent relief pitcher Taylor Rogers is coming back to Minnesota after agreeing on a one-year, $2 million contract with the Twins. Rogers spent the first six seasons of his MLB career with the Twins, posting a career-high 30 saves in 2019 and earning an All-Star selection in 2021. He spent time with the Padres, Brewers, […]


Brandon Woodruff Having a Normal Offseason

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (lat) is having a normal offseason, and his progress was a critical element to the team trading starting pitcher Freddy Peralta to the Mets, according to president of baseball operations Matt Arnold. Woodruff opted out of his deal but then accepted the qualifying offer from the Brewers this offseason, […]


Yankees Looking for Help Behind the Plate

The New York Yankees secured a big part of their lineup by re-signing outfielder Cody Bellinger, but they're still looking to make some further tweaks to their roster. One item on the shopping list, according to New York Daily News' Gary Phillips, is a right-handed hitter who catches. All three of the Yankees' current catchers […]


Could Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones Be Available?

New York Yankees outfielders Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones could be shopped in trade offers after the Yankees locked up Cody Bellinger for the next five seasons. The Yankees have Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham to fill their everyday outfield spots, while Giancarlo Stanton will likely be the everyday DH. Dominguez and Jones each have […]


Are the Orioles Next Up for a Starting Pitcher?

According to a report from USA Today's Bob Nightengale, rival executives expect the Baltimore Orioles to be the next team to sign a top-tier starting pitcher from the free-agent market after the Mets filled their rotation by acquiring Freddy Peralta from the Brewers. The Orioles currently have Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz, Dean Kremer, […]


Steven Adams Will Not Play Tuesday Against the Spurs

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Spurs. The Big Kiwi started on Sunday against the Pelicans and had five points, 10 boards, and two assists before leaving after 27 minutes with his ankle injury. He was unable to put much weight on the injury and had […]


Tari Eason Could Be Back Against the Spurs on Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (ankle) has missed the last five games with an ankle injury, but he is questionable to get back in the action on Tuesday night, when the Rockets host the Spurs in a Texas-sized matchup in Houston. Eason was playing well before the injury, scoring double-digit points and posting at least […]


RJ Barrett Will Not Return Against the Warriors

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is still not ready to return from a sprained left ankle, and he'll miss his sixth straight game on Tuesday, when his team visits the Warriors. Barrett hasn't been given a concrete timeline, but he hasn't been able to return to practice yet either, so a return doesn't seem […]


Cam Christie Could Miss Tuesday's Contest in Chicago

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Cam Christie (abdominal) has played at least 19 minutes in each of the team's last three games, but the rookie is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls, as the Clippers finish a back-to-back set of games. Christie had 16 points in 20 minutes off the bench against the Raptors on […]


Patrick Williams Could Be Back in Action Tuesday Against the Clippers

Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) was listed as questionable for Tuesday night's home game against the visiting Clippers. He missed Sunday's game against the Nets after leaving Friday's game in Brooklyn with a sprained ankle. Williams has not been contributing very much this season, scoring just 6.5 points in 18 minutes per game, but if […]


Naz Reid Upgraded to Available Tuesday Against Utah

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) was originally listed as questionable for Tuesday's road game against the Jazz, but he was upgraded to available on Tuesday afternoon. Reid left Saturday's game against the Spurs after just five minutes with shoulder soreness and was unable to return, but he'll keep his streak intact of playing every […]


Collin Murray-Boyles Will Not Play Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will miss Tuesday's game against the Warriors after leaving Sunday's game against the Lakers. At the time, the team thought he was dealing with a left thumb sprain, but now they are calling the injury a "left thumb contusion," which would seem to be a less severe injury. It […]


Mark Williams Uncertain to Play on Tuesday in Philadelphia

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (injury management) was listed as questionable for Tuesday night, when his team visits the 76ers on the second night of a back-to-back. Williams posted 16 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, and two steals over 29 minutes on Monday against the Nets to help the Suns to a nine-point road victory. […]


Paul George Could Return Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) sat out Monday's matchup against the Pacers, but the team listed him as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Suns, when the team finishes their back-to-back. Since PG has played three straight games before sitting on Monday, it seems very possible he'll be back in action on Tuesday. In […]


Joel Embiid Will Not Play Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (injury management) will not play on the second night of the team's back-to-back when they take on the Suns in Philly on Tuesday. Embiid had 30 points and nine rebounds in 33 minutes in the Sixers' win on Monday, but has still not been cleared to play in both games […]


Weston Wilson Designated for Assignment

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Weston Wilson was designated for assignment on Tuesday when the team officially re-signed J.T. Realmuto. Wilson was behind both Otto Kemp and Edmundo Sosa as utility bench pieces for the Phillies, and he'll now be available via trade or waiver wire claim to the rest of the teams in the majors. Over […]


Masyn Winn Won't Have Any Limitations in Spring Training

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) feels healthy and says he is extremely excited to take the field again, facing no limitations in Spring Training. The Gold Glove-winning shortstop was shut down in mid-September for an arthroscopic procedure on his knee to deal with a torn meniscus. He impressed with a .253/.310/.363 triple-slash line […]


Mookie Betts Plans to Retire at the End of his Current Contract

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts says he "for sure" plans on retiring at the end of his current contract, which runs through the 2032 season. Betts pointed out that he'll be 40 at that point and will be looking to spend more time with his family at that point. The 2018 AL MVP and […]


Zach Penrod Joins Nationals on Minor-League Contract

Free-agent pitcher Zach Penrod and the Washington Nationals reached an agreement on a minor-league deal. The 28-year-old lefty spent last year in the Red Sox and Dodgers minor-league systems, going 2-1 in 26 appearances (six starts) with a 7.83 ERA and 6.80 FIP. He pitched in seven games out of the bullpen in the majors […]


Cody Bellinger Nearing a Decision

Free-agent first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger could come off the market soon, since MLB Network's Jim Bowden reports that Bellinger is mulling over multiple offers from multiple teams and is expected to make his decision soon. Last season, Bellinger hit .272 in 152 games with the Yankees, smashing 29 homers and posting a .207 ISO and […]


Seth Brown Signs Minor-League Deal With Yankees

Free Agent first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown signed a minor league contract with the Yankees on Monday, and he will also receive an invite to Spring Training. The 33-year-old lefty has provided good power production in the past and could be a good fit for Yankee Stadium if he finds his way to playing time at […]
