Brock Burke Fires Six Strong Innings

Burke has now allowed only one run through his first 12 MLB innings. The left-hander primarily pitched in Double-A this season […]

Trevor Bauer Rocked In Sunday Start

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Trevor Bauer was hit hard in a 9-8 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Bauer allowed eight runs (seven earned) over three innings while striking out two. It was an uneven effort across the board as the veteran hurler gave up two runs in the first inning and then three runs […]

Martin Perez Picks Up Ninth Win

Minnesota Twins left-hander Martin Perez pitched well in a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Perez allowed just two runs over six innings of work while striking out five.

Chad Beebe Quiet In Third Preseason Game

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe was held without a catch on Saturday despite seeing three targets. All indications are still pointing toward Beebe being the lead dog for the Vikings third receiver spot, though Olabisi Johnson, Jordan Taylor, and Brandon Zylstra remain in the mix with one preseason game left to play. It could […]

Kyle Rudolph Held Without Catch

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph had a quiet game on Saturday, failing to haul in a catch and registering just one target in the contest. Rudolph is the starting tight end for the Vikings, but rookie Irv Smith Jr. could have a role as a receiving threat and Rudolph has disappointed in the past […]

Stefon Diggs Catches Two Passes In Win

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught two of four targets for 28 yards on Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals. Diggs played the majority of the first half, though the offense was out of sorts as starting quarterback Kirk Cousins was 3-for-13 passing for just 35 yards. The Vikings have been committed to being more […]

Sterling Shepard Officially Good For Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard had been trending in the right direction with his recovery from a fractured thumb, but getting the official word is always nice. The fourth-year receiver caught 66 passes for 872 yards and four touchdowns last year. With Odell Beckham Jr. gone and Golden Tate suspended for the first […]

DeAndre Baker Getting First-Team Reps At Practice

New York Giants rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker (knee) is starting to get healthy. While we shouldn’t read into practice repetitions too much, this is a nice step in his recovery from an early knee injury and good news for a Giants secondary that is closer to getting Sam Beal back as well. The Giants likely […]

Daniel Jones To Start for Giants On Thursday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur stated that Eli Manning will get some rest, allowing Daniel Jones to start Thursday’s preseason finale against the New England Patriots. While this will be an opportunity to energize the Giants fanbase with another preview of their future, there is likely nothing to see here from a fantasy […]

Ravens Defense Still Valued High Without Paul Worrilow

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Paul Worrilow retired from the NFL one day after signing with the team. Worrilow finished with 415 tackles, 11 pass deflections and four sacks in his seven-year career. He leaves a defense that has been a top fantasy option for the last five years and is currently on a 16-game preseason win […]

Mike Boone The Preseason Rushing Leader After Three Weeks

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone is doing everything he possibly can to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, and his performance on Saturday against the Cardinals definitely helped his cause. Boone rushed 10 times for 41 yards and a touchdown, while he also caught his only target and continues to play a role […]

Leury Garcia Day-To-Day With Shin Contusion

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia (shin) left the game early on Sunday with a left shin contusion and is being listed as day-to-day. X-rays came back negative, so he could be back in the lineup on Tuesday after Monday's off day. Garcia had a single in four plate appearances before his exit. The 28-year-old […]

Mike Williams Catches One Pass In Limited Action

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams only had two opportunities on Saturday against Seattle, but he did bring in one of the passes for 11 yards. Williams was used sparingly, only on the field for 18 snaps, as the team wants to preserve as much of its offensive powerhouse as possible. With Keenan Allen […]

Reynaldo Lopez Leaves Start With Illness

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez (flu) left his start early on Sunday against the Rangers after experiencing dehydration and flu-like symptoms. Thankfully for fantasy owners that rolled with him, Lopez allowed no hits in five scoreless innings while walking two and striking out six in the victory. It could've been a quality start […]

Hunter Henry Catches Both Passes Sent His Way

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry did his job again on Saturday as he hauled in both passes thrown to him. Henry only racked up 13 yards over the course of the game, but he was also only on the field for 21 snaps in total. The Chargers have had to play it safe […]

Artavis Scott Impresses Once Again

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Artavis Scott continues to shine as he works to land a spot in the team's receiving corps. Scott hauled in the longest pass of the game when he snagged a throw from Cardale Jones late in the second quarter. A juke around the first defender to reach him gave him […]

Troymaine Pope Looks Explosive Again

Los Angeles Chargers running back Troymaine Pope has been one of the stars of the preseason for the team. Last week, he ran back a punt for a touchdown. This week, he injected a big dose of energy into the squad when the rest of the offense just looked like they were going through the […]

Justin Jackson Makes Short Appearance

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson made a cursory appearance in Week 3 of the preseason when he carried the ball five times and caught a pass against the Seahawks on Saturday. While most teams use Week 3 of the preseason as a bit of a dress rehearsal for the regular season, the Chargers […]

Taylor Bertolet Nails Two Long Field Goals

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet connected from 48 and 56 yards as well as an extra point in the third preseason game Saturday.

Austin Ekeler Starts Against Seattle

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was one of the few Chargers starters who actually played in Week 3 of the preseason, but he didn't play much. Ekeler carried the ball on the first play from scrimmage, but he would only carry it three more times before heading to the bench. He did snag […]

Cardale Jones Nails 31-Yard Pass

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones seems like he's clearly third in the pecking order for the quarterback job at this point, but that didn't stop him from racking up the biggest single gain in Saturday night's game against the Seahawks. Jones threw a bullet to Artavis Scott late in the second quarter, and after […]

Tyrod Taylor Accurate During First Half

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor got some more time as the starter on Saturday against the Seahawks since the Chargers decided to sit most of their regular starters, including Philip Rivers. Taylor went 6-for-9 for 61 yards and carried the ball six times for another 34 yards, leading the team in rushing attempts and […]

Jamison Crowder Makes One Catch Saturday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder caught his only target for eight yards in the team's third preseason game Saturday vs New Orleans. Crowder finishes the preseason with three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown in his first year working with Sam Darnold. Crowder battled injuries last season but could be a value […]

Easton Stick Leads Comeback Effort

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick led his team on the comeback trail on Saturday night against the Seahawks, but he came up just short as the team lost by eight. Stick went 12-for-16, completing 75% of his passes, but he only tallied 82 yards. He did throw a touchdown and ran another one in, […]

Renato Nunez Day-To-Day

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Renato Nunez (hamstring) was removed from the game on Sunday with tightness in his hamstring, but manager Brandon Hyde said Nunez should be OK. Consider him day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old Venezuelan is hitting a mediocre .246/.316/.479 but does have 28 home runs, 65 runs and 73 RBI on the season […]

Eric Tomlinson Plays Only Four Snaps

New York Jets tight end Eric Tomlinson only played four snaps in the team's third preseason game Saturday against the Saints. Tomlinson is expected to split time with fellow tight end Ryan Griffin while starter Chris Herndon serves his four-game suspension but didn't get much playing time and didn't see a single target. Tomlinson is […]

Rhys Hoskins Breaks Homer Drought

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a loss to the Marlins Sunday. Hoskins had not gone deep since August 3 and has been struggling mightily in the second half. Since the All-Star break, Hoskins is batting .168 with only five home runs. Fantasy owners should continue to trust […]
