Franchy Cordero's Stock Up After Latest Padres Trade

San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero is likely the biggest winner with the recent departure of Manuel Margot. With Margot traded to the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend, Cordero has a shot to be the Opening Day starting center fielder. Expected to be a material piece to the Friars since 2018, the 25-year-old has […]

Tiger Woods Chasing First Win At Riviera

Tiger Woods is set to make his second start of 2020 this week at the Genesis Invitational. Woods will serve as the event's host, but he has surprisingly never recorded a win at the legendary Riviera Country Club. A rejuvenated Woods played well en route to a top-15 finish at last year's Genesis and he […]

Kyle Connor Posts Three Points In Sunday's Win

Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor registered a pair of goals and added a primary assist as his team handed a 5-2 loss to the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

Brock Boeser Out At Least Two Games

Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser will be out of action for at least the next two games after sustaining an upper-body injury in his team's 6-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Saturday night. The 22-year-old was forced to depart the game early in the final frame after taking a hit from Flames forward Andrew […]

Seth Jones Placed On Injured Reserve

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones has been ruled out indefinitely following being placed on injured reserve on Monday. The 25-year-old suffered an ankle injury in a collision with the net in the first period of his team's 2-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Jones' absence will be a major loss to a […]

Joaquin Niemann Returns To Action At Genesis Invitational

Emilio Pagan Headed To San Diego

The San Diego Padres acquired relief pitcher Emilio Pagan from the Tampa Bay Rays on February 8. The Rays receive outfielder Manuel Margot and prospect catcher Logan Driscoll in the exchange. Pagan crushed the competition in 2019 with 20 saves, a 2.31 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 36 percent strikeout rate across 66 appearances. The 28-year-old […]

Tony Finau Heads To Genesis In Search Of A Win

Tony Finau is in the field for the upcoming Genesis Invitational.

The fan favorite will attempt to grab that elusive second victory at Riviera this week. […]

Jon Rahm Looks To Continue Stellar Play At Genesis

Jon Rahm is in the field for the upcoming Genesis Invitational. The young Spaniard will look to continue his stellar play at Riviera. Rahm heads to L.A. on the heels of a runner-up finish at the Farmers Insurance Open and a top-10 outing at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He doesn't have extensive history at […]

Paul Casey Disappoints In AT&T Pro-Am

Paul Casey disappointed his many fantasy backers with an underwhelming T64 in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Englishman suffered an ugly final-round 81 to tumble down the leaderboard. It was a surprising finish for the usually-steady veteran that recorded a runner-up finish at Pebble Beach last season. Casey will try to rebound in the […]

Phil Mickelson Falls Short At Pebble Beach

With his game showing signs of life for the second straight week, Phil Mickelson found himself firmly in contention heading into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a tournament that he won last year. The 49-year-old failed to turn back the clock Sunday after a disastrous double-bogey on the eighth hole led […]

Ryan Miller Stops 31 Shots In Ducks’ Win

The Anaheim Ducks scored three goals in the first period and held on to defeat the Buffalo Sabres by a score of 3-2 on Sunday. Veteran goalie Ryan Miller turned aside 31 of 33 shots for the win. He’s played very well in three out of his last four appearances. Ryan Getzlaf scored his 12th […]

Luke Kornet Scores Season-High 25 Points

Chicago Bulls forward/center Luke Kornet broke out for a season-high 25 points in Sunday's 118-111 loss against the Sixers. The 24-year-old added two rebounds and one block in 29 minutes, while setting season-bests with field goals made (10), field goals attempted (14), and three-pointers made (four) in the productive effort.

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers – Christin Stewart

Writing about Christin Stewart being a sleeper gives me a feeling of déjà vu, largely because I did the same thing 12 months ago. Stewart didn’t really do much in 2019 to warrant any fantasy relevance, yet here I am letting you know that the Tigers outfielder is once again a sleeper for 2020. Heading […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers – Corey Dickerson

Corey Dickerson signed a two-year deal with the Miami Marlins this offseason, not normally something which is a recipe for fantasy success. However, Dickerson is someone who can provide fantasy value in what appears to be a slightly improved lineup. The addition of Jonathan Villar along with the emergence of Brian Anderson and Jon Berti […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers - Francisco Mejia

Recently touted top prospect Francisco Mejia had an up and down season for the San Diego Padres in 2019. Mejia came over to the Padres in 2018 as part of a deal that sent Brad Hand and Adam Cimber to the Cleveland Indians. Expectations are high for the young catcher, especially considering what the Padres […]

XFL Week 1: What We Learned

The first week of XFL action is behind us and it sure was fun. The league ran a lot more smoothly than last year's attempt at a Spring league, the AAF. The league featured some good offensive play and some good innovations, like a kickoff rule that might have fixed one of football's most dangerous […]

RB Opportunity Share and Impact (NFC East & North)

With the season over and real-life free agency and April's NFL draft ahead of us, it's time to look at how each team split their targets and carries (both of them combined in what is called opportunities; sometimes it's receptions instead of targets, but I wanted to look at the overall volume and total chances instead) […]

Will the Real Shohei Ohtani Please Stand Up?

When he arrived in 2018, Shohei Ohtani was regarded as one of the most dynamic and difficult-to-value players in the league. After two excellent, but injury-marred seasons, that much hasn’t changed. We have a clearer sense of Ohtani’s talent, but drafting him is still a unique challenge. In fact, the fantasy owners I've talked to […]

Kevin Fiala Posts Another Multi-Point Game

Minnesota Wild left wing Kevin Fiala had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado, posting his third multi-point performance in four games. Jared Spurgeon also had a goal and an assist, with both players scoring on a power play. Fiala was quiet in January with only four points, but he's kicked […]

Gabriel Landeskog Pushes Colorado Past Minnesota

Colorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog notched his 14th goal of the season on Sunday, registering the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory over Minnesota.

Artemi Panarin Scores 28th Goal In Victory

New York Rangers left winger Artemi Panarin scored his 28th goal of the season in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kings, as the 28-year-old followed up on a rebound to find the back of the net past goaltender Jonathan Quick with under three minutes remaining in the final frame. Greg McKegg, Kaapo Kakko, and Tony […]

Igor Shesterkin Makes 42 Saves In Victory

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin picked up his fifth career victory in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kings, as the 24-year-old stopped 42-of-43 shots on goal in the contest. Shesterkin was perfect through the first two periods until newly-acquired Kings forward Trevor Moore found the back of the net midway through the third frame […]

Bradley Beal Finishes Sunday's Loss With 26 Points

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal shot 10-for-25 from the field and finished with 26 points in Sunday's loss to Memphis.

It's his first double-double since Dec. 30. Jackson Jr. has really struggled with his shot recently and Sunday was no different, with him finishing 6-for-16 from […]
