Charlie Morton Strong In Win

Tampa Bay pitcher Charlie Morton bounced back on Sunday, as the Rays defeated the Indians 8-2. It was a bounceback performance for Morton after he allowed six runs in four innings during a loss to the Astros in his last time out. Morton allowed just one run on four hits and three walks today, striking […]

New York Jets Defense Not Worth Rostering Past Week One

In the third preseason game of the year - the so-called "dress rehearsal" - the New York Jets Defense showed just what kind of unit they're setting up to be in 2019, with Drew Brees and the Saints going up 10-0 after two possessions. New York is going to give up big plays all year, […]

Abraham Toro-Hernandez Backs Verlander No-Hitter With Blast

Rookie third baseman Abraham Toro wasn't initially in Sunday's lineup, heading to the bench as Aledmys Diaz was to start in his place. But after Yuli Gurriel was a late scratch, Toro moved into the lineup and had the biggest hit of the game, hitting a two-run home run in the eighth inning to give […]

Justin Verlander Throws No-Hitter

Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander added the latest chapter to his Cy Young campaign by capping off his third career no-hitter on Sunday, as the Astros won 2-0. Finishing the game off by getting Bo Bichette to ground out to third, Verlander struck out 14 batters and allowed only Cavan Biggio to reach on a […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Released

The Arizona Cardinals released tight end Ricky Seals-Jones. Even with his connection to head coach Kliff Kingsbury, he couldn’t do enough to stay on the roster. Instead, the Cardinals will turn to Charles Clay and Maxx Williams. Look for Arizona to run plenty of four-WR sets in a high-tempo offense this season.

Alfred Blue Placed On IR

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed running back Alfred Blue due to an ankle injury. He'll be eligible to return after Week 8, though it's unlikely Blue has an impact this year as the Saints claimed two backs on Sunday: rookie Devine Ozigbo and veteran Tyler Ervin. Ervin's got some upside as a third-down back, and […]

Royce Freeman Enters Week 1 As Complimentary Back

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman enters the team's week one matchup versus the Oakland Raiders as the complimentary back to teammate Phillip Lindsay. The matchup is indeed intriguing, but due to the hot streak that Lindsay finished 2018 on Freeman remains a risky play as his time is uncertain. Keep Freeman on your bench, […]

Joe Flacco Faces Unproven Raiders Secondary In Week 1

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco matches up against an unproven secondary week one versus the Oakland Raiders. The veteran signal-caller is entering his first season with the Broncos and has a lot of young and exciting talent at his disposal. Flacco has never been known as a stud fantasy option at the quarterback position, but […]

Willians Astudillo to Make His Return

Miguel Rojas Activated, Starting at Shortstop

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Rojas missed basically a month of action due to a strained right hamstring. He'll bat leadoff and cover shortstop versus lefty Patrick Corbin on Sunday. Rojas been has fairly reliable with the bat this season, so he could have […]

Clint Frazier Called Up by Yankees

Outfielder Clint Frazier will make his return to the big leagues on Sunday, serving as the designated hitter in New York's game against Oakland and batting seventh. After being demoted in June following the acquisition of Edwin Encarnacion, Frazier struggled in Triple-A, slashing .247/.305/.433 with eight home runs in 247 plate-appearances. Unless he starts really […]

Carlos Carrasco Activated from Injured List

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (leukemia) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Sunday. Carrasco has been sidelined since May due to a leukemia diagnosis. He pitched well during a rehab assignment, so he appears ready to rejoin the Indians roster. Carrasco will pitch out of the bullpen for the Indians down […]

Chris Thompson A Deep-League PPR Option In Week 1

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson is set to resume his role as a pass-catching threat out of the backfield. He's coming off an injury-plagued and disappointing 2018 season, so any high usage rates or efficiency will be a sight for sore eyes within the fantasy community. His volume in Week 1 figures to depend […]

Jose Martinez to Start on Sunday

Cardinals outfielder Jose Martinez(shoulder) was activated from the 10-day IL on Sunday and will start in right field in the first game of St. Louis's doubleheader against Cincinnati. Out since August 11, Martinez went 8-for-19 over five rehab games, hitting one double and driving in four. With an affordable price and around 3%-ownership, Martinez should […]

Redskins Defense Faces Tough Road Test In Week 1

The Washington Redskins Defense will have to deal with Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. They'll look to get off to a good start at repeating a 2018 campaign in which they forced a turnover on 14.6% of opposing offensive possessions, the sixth-highest mark in the NFL. The Redskins also recorded 46 […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Expected Back on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (quad) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He has missed the last few weeks due to a quad issue, but appears almost ready to return. Gurriel is hitting .279/.331/.548 with 19 home runs and 47 RBI this season. He should resume his role […]

Anthony Rizzo is Out of the Lineup Sunday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Rizzo returned on Saturday after missing five games due to a back issue. This sounds like a routine day off for Rizzo, so his back appears to be fine. Victor Caratini will bat cleanup and […]

Kolten Wong Sits in First Game Today

Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong filled up the stat sheet in yesterday's doubleheader against the Reds on Saturday, going 3-for-6 with a double, a triple, three walks, two RBI, and a stolen base.

Adam Eaton, Brian Dozier Out on Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) and second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) are both out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. Eaton is likely out of the lineup due to the fact that the Marlins have a lefty starter on the mound. Dozier has been in a slump at the […]

Dexter Fowler Out of First Game of Sunday's Doubleheader

St. Louis outfielder Dexter Fowler will sit in the first game of the Cardinals doubleheader with the Reds on Sunday. This is just a normal game of rest after Fowler had a big day while starting both games of yesterday's doubleheader. Fowler went 5-for-9 over the twin bill, hitting a home run and a double, […]

Adrian Peterson Ready To Roll In Week 1

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is in line to continue his role as a key piece of the offense in 2019. The difference in this year compared to last, however, is that the Redskins have Derrius Guice back. It stands to reason that the Redskins will want to ease Guice into action, so Peterson […]

Jason Kipnis Sits Out on Sunday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Kipnis was removed during Saturday's game due to a sore right wrist. It appears to be a minor issue, but the Indians are going to play it safe and give Kipnis the day off […]

Robinson Cano Could Return on Tuesday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) is expected to be ready to return from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He suffered a hamstring tear on August 5, but has been making excellent progress. He collected two hits during his rehab game on Saturday and appears ready to play again. Cano should be […]

Ryan Zimmerman Activated on Sunday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Zimmerman was forced to miss multiple weeks of action due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll draw the start at first base and bat sixth against lefty Caleb Smith on Sunday. He'll have some DFS appeal, […]

George Springer Gets Day Off

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Springer will get a routine day off here to rest, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Jake Marisnick will bat ninth and play center field versus righty Wilmer Font. Marisnick doesn't […]

Paul DeJong is Out on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for him. Yairo Munoz will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Tyler Mahle. Munoz has been average with the bat for awhile, so […]

Derrius Guice Set For Regular Season Debut

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice is set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. It will be his first regular-season game action, as the second-year back out of LSU has now completed the long journey back from an ACL tear in 2018. He figures to split work with Adrian Peterson in the […]

Sean Doolittle Activated on Sunday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Sean Doolittle (knee) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Doolittle pitched well during his rehab outings and appears ready to return to the active roster. However, the Nats are still going to ease him back into the ninth inning role. He'll have fantasy value as a closer, […]

Yu Darvish Scratched From Sunday's Start

Chicago Cubs starter Yu Darvish was scratched from his start against the Brewers on Sunday with right forearm tightness. This is troublesome news for his owners, as the 33-year-old right-hander was coming off his best start of the season, picking up the win on road against the red-hot Mets. Darvish went eight innings in that […]
