Franklin Perez Still Not Throwing

Detroit Tigers starting pitching prospect Franklin Perez (shoulder) still hasn't been able to throw a baseball after two-plus years of shoulder issues. The 22-year-old that was the key piece in the trade that sent Justin Verlander to Houston in 2017 has pitched in nine games in his two seasons with Detroit (27 innings). He hasn't […]

Tigers Interested In Robinson Chirinos

The Detroit Tigers are showing interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to a source. With Grayson Greiner and prospect Jake Rogers currently on roster, the Tigers would probably be looking at a short deal with Chirinos until Rogers is ready for the everyday role. Chirinos hit .238/.347/.443 with 17 long balls and 58 RBI in […]

Rangers Could Consider Maikel Franco

The Texas Rangers will consider third baseman Maikel Franco if Anthony Rendon signs elsewhere. Franco would be a significant downgrade from the MVP candidate, but a change of scenery to a very hitter-friendly park in Texas could be the spark that Franco needs to realize his true potential. The 27-year-old Dominican hit just .234/.297/.409 with […]

Salvador Perez Could See Time At First Base

Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny said it's a realistic possibility that catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) sees significant playing time at first base in his return from Tommy John surgery in 2020. Perez is coming off a lost season in 2019 after having elbow reconstruction. But he should return to being one of the more […]

Tanner Roark Agrees to Terms With the Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays signed free-agent starting pitcher Tanner Roark to a two-year, $24 million contract on Wednesday. Roark will slide right into the Blue Jays rotation. Toronto has been "in" on several free-agent starters, but Roark is the first they have been able to sign. Roark put up a 4.35 ERA and a 158:51 […]

Cubs Not Working On Extension For Anthony Rizzo

The Chicago Cubs will not be offering first baseman Anthony Rizzo a contract extension this winter, according to Rizzo's agent, Marc Pollack. "Anthony has let his desire to be a Cub for life known to the organization. Although we do not know what the future holds, a deal to make that happen will not be […]

Dodgers Sign Reliever Blake Treinen

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed relief pitcher Blake Treinen to a one-year, $10 million contract on Wednesday. Treinen reportedly had several similar offers and chose to go to the Dodgers. He was exceptional in 2018 before taking a huge step back with the Oakland A's in 2019. The Dodgers are hoping he pitches more like […]

Alexander Mattison Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. There's still a chance that Mattison can play in Week 15 against the Chargers, but nothing is guaranteed. With Dalvin Cook (chest) seeing a full workload against the Lions last Sunday, Mattison would be nothing more than a little-used backup against the […]

NBA DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings on 12/11/19

We have 11 games on the agenda in what should be one of the most competitive slates of the week.

We are entering the halfway point of the week and I am sure we are all looking forward to the weekend. However, the league has blessed us with an 11-game slate and plenty of basketball to be played Wednesday night. As most big days, the top players are usually always a good pick and will […]

Dodgers Shifting Focus To Madison Bumgarner

The Los Angeles Dodgers are shifting their focus to starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner now that Gerrit Cole chose the Yankees, according to sources. It would be extremely odd to see a lifelong Giants pitcher in blue and white, but it could happen. MadBum isn't the dominant left-hander that he was in his prime with San […]

White Sox Acquire Nomar Mazara

The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Nomar Mazara from the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in exchange for minor league outfielder Steele Walker. The 24-year-old Mazara hit .268 with 19 home runs, 66 RBI and a .786 OPS in 2019. He projects to make around $5.5 million in arbitration and is eligible for free agency […]

Will Fuller Limited In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the Week 15 loss to the Broncos. Fuller could be a game-time decision this Sunday against the Titans. If he sits out a second straight game, Kenny Stills and Keke Coutee would have bigger roles alongside top wideout […]

Saints Defense Loses Marcus Davenport, Sheldon Rankins

The New Orleans Saints officially placed defensive end Marcus Davenport (Achilles) and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The combination of losing both defensive linemen is a pretty big blow to this Saints Defense to close out the year. Davenport, a first-round pick in 2018, had 31 tackles, six sacks […]

Vance McDonald, Jaylen Samuels Miss Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) and running back Jaylen Samuels (groin) both were missing from practice on Wednesday. Not only is McDonald questionable for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night, but he hasn't cleared 50 yards the entire season and has only three touchdowns. He has just five catches for 25 […]

Avery Bradley Will Be Limited on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (leg) will be limited off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will draw another start, while Bradley gets 15 minutes off the bench in this one. The Lakers are going to ease Bradley back into the rotation. He should get around 20-25 minutes once […]

Geronimo Allison, Jimmy Graham Limited In Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison (knee) and tight end Jimmy Graham (wrist) were limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Graham was limited last week but was able to play against the Redskins, so he should suit up this week barring a setback. Allison, on the other hand, is a new addition to the report […]

David Njoku Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Njoku returned in Week 14 from a wrist injury that landed him on Injured Reserve after Week 2, and he played limited snaps on his way to just one catch for four yards in the win over the Bengals. The 23-year-old should […]

Marvin Bagley is Probable for Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (thumb) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been sidelined since opening night, so the Kings are excited to get Bagley back in their rotation. Richaun Holmes has been playing well, so we'll see what kind of hit his value takes going forward. […]

Mark Andrews Expected To Play

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been listed as questionable with a minor knee injury but is expected to play Thursday night against the Jets. Andrews was only able to record one catch on three targets for 14 yards before exiting the game in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Buffalo Bills. It's a […]

Gerald Everett Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) is considered "day-to-day" by head coach Sean McVay. "His knee is making progress, but not ready to get out there and practice with us yet." Everett has essentially been day-to-day since suffering the injury in Week 13. He's missed the last two games as a result and […]

Rajon Rondo Might Sit Against Magic

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rondo is dealing with a strained left hamstring, so the team is going to be cautious with him. There's a good chance that they have Rondo sit this one out. Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook and Troy Daniels […]

Jordan Howard Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Howard has been close to playing for weeks it seems, but he has yet to be cleared and hasn't seen the field since Nov. 3 against the Bears. If he does return in Week 15 against the Redskins, he could […]

Nikola Vucevic Could Return on Friday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, head coach Steve Clifford said that there's a chance Vucevic gets cleared for Friday's game. He's been making solid progress and was able to get through shootaround on Wednesday. Khem Birch and Mohamed Bamba are going […]

Nelson Agholor Remains Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday after sitting out on Monday night against the Giants. Agholor has a chance to be fantasy relevant as the team's No. 1 receiver with Alshon Jeffery (foot) now done for the year in the final three games, but there's no guarantee that […]

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Batum left after 12 minutes during Tuesday's game due to left hand discomfort. The Hornets won't host a shootaround with this contest being the second game of a back-to-back set. Malik Monk and Dwayne Bacon will benefit, assuming […]

James White Should Be Lead Back In Week 15

New England Patriots running back James White will take on a Bengals Defense in Week 15 that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. The Patriots offense is in quite a slump right now but White has emerged as the lead back over the past few games. Teammate Sony Michel […]

Lamar Jackson Still A Starter Despite Questionable Tag

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was officially listed as questionable with a quadriceps injury for Week 15 but confidently confirmed Tuesday that he would start against the Jets on Thursday night. The Ravens face a Jets Defense that conceded 245 passing yards and 65 rushing yards from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 14, but did […]

Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella Limited In Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Andy Isabella (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be on track to play in Week 15 against the Browns, but we'll keep an eye on their status the rest of the week. Kirk had eight catches on nine targets for 85 yards […]
