Tai Felton's Upside Diminished With Arrival of Adam Thielen

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton had a chance to make an early-season impact, but that is seemingly out the door with the addition of Adam Thielen. The Vikings brought back the 35-year-old earlier this week to shore up depth concerns at the position. Jordan Addison (suspension) will miss the first three games of the […]

Savion Williams Unlikely To Make A Consistent Impact In 2025

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams has suffered various injuries throughout his first professional training camp and missed all three preseason games. The Green Bay coaching staff had gadget plays in mind for the third-round speedster, but he has been unable to stay on the field. The Packers have a crowded wide receiver room, […]

Ryan Flournoy Added Back To Dallas Practice Squad

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy secured a spot on the team's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. The sixth-round pick in 2024 spent his rookie season with the Cowboys, recording 10 catches for 102 yards on 14 targets. The Cowboys currently only have four wide receivers on the active roster: […]

Injury Question Marks Open Opportunity For Kyle Monangai

The Chicago Bears have an established lead running back in D'Andre Swift, but the backup role is seemingly up for grabs. Incumbent Roschon Johnson (foot) has missed the majority of training camp. Reserves, like veteran Travis Homer and seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai, have also missed practice time in August. The latter has a chance to […]

Should I Draft Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden, or Jayden Higgins? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Rookie WRs

Historically, rookie production is a way to unlock the upside of your fantasy team. We have been blessed with plenty of talented rookies over the years, but 2025’s draft class wasn’t initially expected to have a ton of depth at that position. Still, there were plenty of talented wideouts taken in the first two rounds […]

Sal Stewart Collects Two Hits, Drives in Two on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Sal Stewart continued to hit on Saturday, going 2-for-5 with two RBI at Triple-A Louisville.

Eli Willits Riding Nine-Game Hitting Streak to Start Career

Washington Nationals shortstop prospect Eli Willits is looking very comfortable at Single-A Fredericksburg since debuting there on Aug. 21.

In all, […]

Caden Bodine Placed on Injured List at Single-A

Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Caden Bodine (finger) was placed on the Single-A Delmarva seven-day injured list on Saturday due to a left-finger contusion. This will basically end the season for the Orioles' 10th-ranked prospect. The 30th overall pick in this year's Draft will finish with 11 games played for the Shorebirds, going 14-for-43 (.326) with […]

Oronde Gadsden Likely to be Backup

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden put together a strong showing during the preseason. The fifth-round rookie hauled in three receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown in the preseason finale. He has intriguing upside, but is unlikely to land high on the depth chart to begin the season. According to the team's website, […]

Edward Florentino Activated from Injured List at Single-A

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Edward Florentino (hamstring) was activated off the Single-A Bradenton seven-day injured list on Saturday. The Pirates' fifth-ranked prospect had been on the shelf since leaving a game on August 21 with a left hamstring strain. The 6-foot-4 Dominican earned himself a promotion after slashing .347/.442/.642 in the Complex League, and has […]

Trevor Etienne Expected to Serve as Third String Running Back

Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne did a nice job during the preseason. He showed he has breakaway speed to make a big play at any moment. Despite that, Etienne is unlikely to have a significant role to begin the season. Chuba Hubbard is going to be the lead back to begin the season. The […]

Jarlin Susana Leaves With Apparent Injury on Saturday

Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana (undisclosed) threw a pitch in the second inning and went to a knee in apparent discomfort, then exited with the trainer.

Bhayshul Tuten - Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks for Week 1 (2025)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars added to their already crowded running back by drafting Bhayshul Tuten out of Virginia Tech in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While this pack was initially viewed as a depth option, it appears Tuten could carve out a role […]

Tyler Shough Faces Unpredictable Rookie Campaign

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough lost the quarterback battle to Spencer Rattler heading into Week 1, but the team's uncertain footing could lead to a chance later this season. The rookie had a strong final year at Louisville, and the team making a move due to Rattler struggling is well within the realm of […]

Omarion Hampton - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2025)

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton has seen his fantasy stock soar during the preseason.

Brashard Smith Could Have Pathway After Making Roster

Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith made the 53-man roster in Kansas City, and could have a pathway to the field during his first season with the team. The rookie cleared the first hurdle by sticking around through training camp, which is no guarantee as a seventh-round pick. But with Isiah Pacheco less than […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Tosses Six Scoreless Innings

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was able to do a nice job on the mound during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Coming into this game, Rodriguez had been blasted for nine earned runs over his last two starts. He tossed six innings, allowing four hits, four walks, and striking out four batters […]

Terrance Ferguson Showing Receiving Promise

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson showed some flashes of receiving ability during the preseason, but his blocking remains a work in progress as Los Angeles approaches Week 1. Though that might not be top-of-mind from a fantasy perspective, it will impact how much the rookie sees the field and ultimately how much he […]

Cam Schlittler Records Eight Strikeouts

New York Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schlittler remained excellent on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Chicago White Sox. Coming into this game, Schlittler had thrown back-to-back scoreless outings. He did give up a run in this game, but still looked solid on the mound.
