Jarrod Dyson Returns, Batting Eighth

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson, who missed two straight starts and three out of four with performance issues, is back in the lineup Thursday. But he's only batting eighth, a far cry from the leadoff spot he often occupied throughout the first five months of the season. Not surprisingly, he is someone to avoid in […]

Jorge Soler Blasts Two Home Runs

Kansas City Royals slugger Jorge Soler was at it again on Wednesday as he drilled a pair of bombs off the White Sox. It is Soler's third multi-homer game in the last five weeks, and it brings him up to 43 on the season. The 27-year-old has powered his way into the spotlight this year, […]

Ronny Rodriguez Back Hitting Cleanup

Detroit Tigers infielder Ronny Rodriguez, after sitting Tuesday's game and Wednesday's postponement, is playing second base and batting cleanup in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Yankees Thursday. Rodriguez has some pop but is an overall quite bad MLB hitter with a .220/.248/.451 slash line this season. He is not a […]

Matt Olson Continues To Rake In September

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson was 1-for-4 with two RBI during Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old is slashing .333/.415/.778 in September with four home runs and 11 RBI. Olson now has a .274 average on the season to go along with 31 HRs, 79 RBI, and 65 runs scored. His […]

Gleyber Torres, Gary Sanchez Out to Open Doubleheader

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres and catcher Gary Sanchez are sitting for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. DJ LeMahieu returns to his leadoff spot after getting the day off on Tuesday and plays second. Austin Romine catches batting ninth. The Yankees are facing homer-prone Tigers starter Matthew Boyd, […]

A.J. Pollock Tallies Two RBI On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old is slashing .260/.324/.475 with 14 HRs, 41 RBI, 44 runs scored through 265 at-bats this season. He has been relatively productive when he has managed to stay healthy, but the Dodgers' loaded […]

Orlando Arcia Returns to Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia is back from paternity leave and batting eighth on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Arcia has been one of baseball's worst hitters in 2019 despite 14 home runs and eight steals, batting just .218/.283/.345. With a line like that, a terrible lineup spot, and the game played at one of […]

One week down, 16 more to go! I am currently basking in the glow of my under-the-radar boom picks of New England’s Phillip Dorsett and Buffalo’s John Brown from last week’s column, while trying to forget that I also told the world that New York Jets receiver/ghost Quincy Enunwa would go bonkers against the Bills. […]

Fade Colts Defense In Week 2

The Indianapolis Colts Defense wasn't bad during Week 1. In Week 2, they're playing the Tennessee Titans that aren't an elite offense either. Despite that, you're not starting them in Week 2. They don't generate an overwhelming amount of pressure, and their secondary is still developing rather than being a lockdown unit. With quarterback Marcus […]

Chris Godwin Looks To Keep It Going On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin will look to build on his efficient performance from Week 1 against Carolina on Thursday night. Godwin led the team offensively against the 49ers on Sunday, finishing with three receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown. With Mike Evans supposedly back to full-strength after being diagnosed with the […]

Greg Olsen Expected To Play Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is expected to be active for the team's Thursday night matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the veteran was unable to practice throughout the week and was officially listed as questionable for the Week 2 contest, head coach Ron Rivera noted that he anticipates that Olsen […]

Mike Evans Ready For Carolina?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was nearly a scratch for Week 1 against the 49ers after being diagnosed with the flu. Though he was able to suit up, his play suggested that he wasn’t 100 percent after pulling in just two receptions (five targets) for 28 yards. The 26-year-old wasn’t listed on the […]

Eric Ebron A TE2 In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron was quiet in Week 1. In Week 2, he has the opportunity to bounce back against the Tennessee Titans, but he is still going to be reliant on scoring touchdowns. The thing he has going for him is that he is great in the red zone because of his […]

Dare Ogunbowale Involved In Messy Situation

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale offers little fantasy value against the Panthers in Week 2. Despite getting more snaps than No. 1 Peyton Barber, Ogunbowale will still have to surpass Ronald Jones II, who outperformed both of them combined against the 49ers in Week 1. If he is on your roster in deeper […]

Peyton Barber To Start Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber will start in Week 2 against the Panthers; however, head coach Bruce Arians has reportedly been impressed with No. 2 option Ronald Jones II, making this backfield situation even more complicated. Nonetheless, Arians plans to utilize the “hot hand” of Jones, making it easy to assume that he […]

Ronald Jones II To Get More Touches?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has been rumored to be the team’s No. 1 option, however, head coach Bruce Arians indicated that Peyton Barber will remain the starter, at least for now. Jones outperformed the latter in Week 1 against the 49ers, racking up 13 carries for 75 yards while Barber, who […]

Curtis Samuel Hopes To Put Week 1 Behind Him

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will look to put his subpar Week 1 performance behind him on Thursday night against the visiting Buccaneers. The 23-year-old had a weak fantasy performance against the Rams, finishing with just 32 yards on three receptions (four targets). Samuel was touted for his strong showing during training camp, and […]
