Tucker Kraft Battling Groin Issue

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) sat out of Saturday's practice while dealing with an injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said they plan to give Kraft a few days to get over his groin injury. It doesn't sound like Kraft is going to miss significant time, so fantasy managers should consider this a […]

Should DFS Players Roster Zane Smith At Iowa?

Zane Smith of Front Row Motorsports qualified 23rd for the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. Smith is the only driver from FRM in order to qualify inside the top 25 in this week's race, and he set a new personal best qualifying position at Iowa. In his only prior race at the site in […]

Kenneth Walker III Missing Practice Time

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) looks like he's going to get some extra rest early in training camp. Walker was seen practicing on Thursday, but will take off both Friday and Saturday. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Walker is dealing with soreness in his foot. He continued by saying Walker is fine, […]

Justin Haley Shows Plenty of Speed, but Could Be A DFS Risk at Iowa

Spire Motorsports driver Justin Haley will start in the 10th position for this week's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. This race will mark only the third time this season that Haley qualified inside the top 10 in a Cup Series race. In his only previous Cup start at Iowa last year, Haley started 19th […]

We're on to the corn fields of Iowa this weekend, as the 22nd race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season heads to Iowa Speedway this weekend. Iowa is a 0.875-mile flat track that had some repair/repave work done on it prior to last year's race, but it wasn't fully repaved. This can create some […]

When Is J.J. Wetherholt Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 19 Update)

St. Louis Cardinals infield prospect J.J. Wetherholt has quickly progressed through the St. Louis system and is making a strong case to reach the majors later this season. The Cardinals selected Wetherholt with the seventh pick in last year's MLB Draft out of West Virginia, and he has yet to show down in the upper […]

When Is Spencer Jones Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 19 Update)

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has been one of the most impressive power hitters in the minor leagues this season. He opened the campaign with Double-A but has recently earned a promotion to Triple-A. Since joining the top ranks of the minor leagues, the slugger has looked even better and is nearing his […]

William Byron Might Be the Favorite at Iowa

William Byron's season has kind of spiraled out of control over the summer after a dominant spring, but he still stands in striking distance of the regular season championship and he is definitely a top contender to win at Iowa today. Not only did he finish second in the inaugural Cup Series race there last […]

After Brickyard 400 Win, Bubba Wallace Less Likely to Overdrive at Iowa

After locking himself into the playoffs with last week's Brickyard 400 win, Wallace qualified 15th for today's Iowa race and was faster than both his teammates Tyler Reddick and Riley Herbst. Although Wallace is not typically faster than Reddick on most track types, short tracks are the exception since he definitely seems to outperform Reddick […]

Despite Team Penske's Great Iowa Speed, Joey Logano Hasn't Had Any

Although he salvaged a not terrible qualifying run (14th) yesterday at Iowa, Joey Logano was more like Joey Slowgano in yesterday's practice, where he ranked next to last only above his fellow Joey Gase. While his teammates Austin Cindric and Ryan Blaney ranked second and third in average speed in practice, Logano only ranked 36th […]

Dominance in Xfinity Race Could Potentially Help Ross Chastain's Cup Series Setups

Ross Chastain dominated yesterday's Xfinity Series race at Iowa after his teammate Connor Zilisch had a loose wheel, but he eventually lost the lead in the pits and only finished third. Nonetheless, he was the only NASCAR Cup Series star to enter the race yesterday, which could potentially help him with setups today although probably […]

Brad Keselowski Earns Best Qualifying Run in Nearly a Year

If Brad Keselowski is going to win his way into the playoffs, Iowa might mark one of his best shots. Not only is his fifth-place starting position actually his best since last year's Iowa and Nashville races, he was fast in practice too. His eighth-place lap time in practice made him the fastest Ford and […]

Hendrick Motorsports Speed Should Carry Alex Bowman to Solid Finish

Although the Hendrick Motorsports cars were generally no match for Ryan Blaney in last year's inaugural Iowa race, they were arguably the fastest other than Blaney as Kyle Larson led the second-most laps, William Byron and Chase Elliott finished second and third, and Alex Bowman drove from 33rd to 8th. This suggests Bowman might be […]

Despite Historic Short Track Struggles, Austin Cindric Fast This Weekend

Short tracks have always been typically Austin Cindric's worst track type in the Cup Series and he only started 21st and finished 30th in last year's Iowa race. Nonetheless, he has been generally faster this year and he does have a knack for setting fast qualifying laps, as evidenced by yesterday's performance when he qualified […]

Despite Shaky Trackhouse Racing Short Track Speed, Daniel Suarez Was Fast Last Year

While the Trackhouse Racing cars typically struggle on short tracks, that was not the case for Daniel Suárez at Iowa last week as he started 13th, finished 9th, and had his third-best driver rating of the year and tied for his best average running position. Suárez had also shown speed there in the Xfinity Series […]

Shane Van Gisbergen Outqualifies Teammates for Fifth Straight Week, but Probably Won't Outfinish Them Today

Although it's hard to imagine the presumptive Rookie of the Year Shane van Gisbergen contending for an oval win anytime soon, the positive momentum from his back-to-back wins at Chicago and Sonoma may have energized the No. 88 team as SVG has now outqualified both of his teammates Ross Chastain and Daniel Suárez for the […]

John H. Nemechek Could Gain Positions at Iowa, but Not a Top-Tier DFS Option

John Hunter Nemechek started 34th and finished 26th at Iowa last year for a Legacy Motor Club team that has badly struggled on short tracks. He did win here once in the then-Camping World Truck Series in 2017 and led 35 laps in year's Xfinity Series race before a late race crash here, so he's […]

Erik Jones Will Probably Gain Positions, but Not Enough to be Viable for DFS

Erik Jones started, finished, and had an average running position of 32nd as well as his second-worst driver of the rating last year at Iowa, but he was still struggling to recover from his injury at Talladega, so it's hard to tell what that means for this year when he's been significantly faster although still […]

Slower Cars Will Likely Render Noah Gragson Uncompetitive at Iowa

Noah Gragson started 23rd and finished 16th in last year's inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa, but he was driving for Stewart-Haas Racing last year and is now driving for Front Row Motorsports, which has much slower cars. As a result, Gragson qualified significantly worse and will be starting 31st this time. In his […]

Despite Decent Qualifying, Cole Custer Likely Won't Contend at Iowa

Cole Custer has never competed at Iowa Speedway in the NASCAR Cup Series since the Cup Series race was not added to the schedule until last year when he was a full-time Xfinity Series driver. However, the fact that had Custer spent more time in the Xfinity Series than many of his peers means he […]

Matthew Stafford Visits Back Specialist, His Second Appointment in Last Two Weeks

According to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) visited Dr. Robert Watkins, a back specialist, on Saturday. The veteran is considered week-to-week, with the team remaining optimistic he'll be ready to go for Week 1. However, the latest report adds some doubt, especially since this is Stafford's second appointment with […]

Calvin Faucher Perfect in Save Opportunity

Miami Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher nabbed his 11th save of the season in a 2-0 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday. Faucher threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning with a strikeout and needed just 12 pitches to finish off the Yankees. The 29-year-old right-hander is riding a modest five-appearance scoreless streak and has dropped […]

Kyle Finnegan Picks Up Four-Out Save

Detroit Tigers reliever Kyle Finnegan made a positive first impression in his team debut in a 7-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Tigers called on closer Will Vest to pitch the eighth inning in a non-save situation against the top of the Phillies' lineup, but he wasn't up to the task. Vest […]

Will Vest Struggles in Non-Save Situation

Detroit Tigers closer Will Vest had a rough outing in a non-save situation during a 7-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Vest came in to pitch the bottom of the eighth inning with a 7-3 lead and yielded three hits, including a Bryce Harper two-run homer, to turn the game into a nail-biter. […]
