Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger followed up his breakout in 2023 with a similar 2024, slashing .250/.301/.460 with 29 homers in 579 plate appearances for the Miami Marlins in 2024. Power is his calling card in fantasy, and his 18.4% HR/FB was supported by his 12.3% rate of Brls/BBE, 96 mph average airborne exit […]
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears took 10 carries for 27 yards and two touchdowns while catching three passes for 39 yards on four targets in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Spears notably out-carried his backfield counterpart Tony Pollard, being given valuable red zone touches that led to his pair of scores. He's […]
Lucas Erceg notched 14 saves with a 3.36 ERA in 61 ⅔ IP split between Oakland and Kansas City in 2024 and enters 2025 as the potential Royals closer. Erceg has everything needed to succeed in the role. His 28.5% K% was backed by a strong fastball (12.3% SwStr%) and two wipeout offerings: a slider […]
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) didn't practice in Sunday's estimation. The 27-year-old had two carries for 30 yards in Saturday's AFC North encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he suffered a concussion and did not return. While there's a chance Hill could be ready for the Christmas meeting with the Houston Texans, it's […]
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in six passes for 70 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 victory at the Chicago Bears. St. Brown did not have one of his boom games but was productive in the team's 34-17 win. A week after seeing a season-high 18 targets, St. Brown […]
Yoshinobu Yamamoto was great for the Dodgers when on the field in 2024, pitching to a 7-2 record and 3.00 ERA with comparable 2.86 xFIP and 3.44 xERA marks. The issue was a rotator cuff strain that limited him to just 90 IP. Yamamoto's arsenal looked great in the small sample, with a solid fastball […]
Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 23-of-34 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Colts and tacked on another three yards rushing on four carries. Rudolph also threw three interceptions in his return to the starting job, marking his fifth appearance in a row with at least one pick. If it weren't […]
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his eight targets for 97 yards and a score during their victory over the Cleveland Browns. The LSU product also added seven yards on his lone carry. Chase's eight targets were the second-most on the team behind only Tee Higgins while his yardage total paced all […]
Reynaldo Lopez's transition to the rotation couldn't have gone better in 2024, as he posted an 8-5 record with a 1.99 ERA across 135 ⅔ IP. His 3.44 xFIP and 3.88 xERA weren't quite as strong but still represent solid ratios for fantasy purposes. That's good, because Lopez was fortunate in 2024 based on his […]
Willson Contreras once again delivered strong offensive production for a catcher in 2024, slashing .262/.380/.468 with 15 HR in 358 PAs. His season was all about extremes. The 33-year-old posted a career-worst 16.4% SwStr% that contributed to his 26.8 K%, but his eye remained strong with a 12.6% BB% and 29.5% chase rate. Contreras also […]
Kodai Senga was limited to one start of 5 ⅓ IP in 2024 by a moderate posterior capsule strain in his throwing shoulder and a high-grade calf strain, with frequent setbacks concerning his arm and mechanics. He returned to the mound for the Mets postseason run but didn't look sharp in five innings. Senga was […]
Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar exploded on the fantasy scene in 2024, hitting .269/.295/.469 with 26 HR and six steals over 695 PAs. Tovar's plate discipline was atrocious, producing a 28.8% K% and 3.3% BB%, backed by a 19.2% SwStr% and 44.8% chase rate. Tovar's 45.9% FB% helped his HR total, but his 10.4% IFFB% […]
Marcus Semien disappointed fantasy managers in 2024, slashing .237/.308/.391 with 23 HR and eight steals over 718 PAs. His batting average should rebound. Semien's .250 BABIP was more than 30 points below his .283 career mark and 40 points below his 2023 mark of .291, largely due to a 17.9% LD% more than two points […]
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a quiet outing in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, recording just one catch for 21 yards on two targets and adding one carry for six yards. His lone reception tied for the team's longest of the day, matching Malik Nabers' 21-yard catch, but opportunities were […]
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) was listed as a DNP in Sunday's practice estimation. Of course, this isn't surprising, considering the wideout suffered a fractured kneecap in Saturday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. While he hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see […]
