Giancarlo Stanton Extends RBI Streak To Five Games

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Game 2 of the World Series.

Raiders Won't Trade Maxx Crosby

Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby will not be traded prior to the 2024 trade deadline, owner Mark Davis told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Is This The Year of The Running Back?

One of the most popular strategies in fantasy football heading into the 2024 NFL season was to ignore running backs in the beginning, and sometimes even in the middle rounds of the drafts, go heavy with wide receivers in the early rounds, and pick up the other positions later. It made sense, considering 13 of […]

Tommy Edman Extends Hitting Streak To Eight Games

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in Game 2 of the World Series. Edman has now tallied at least one hit in each of the past eight games and tallied at least two hits in each of the past five. Throughout October, Edman has been […]

Freddie Freeman Goes Deep Again In Game 2

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) is the TE2 in full-PPR scoring so far this season, just behind Las Vegas Raiders superstar Brock Bowers.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Is Russ Ready to Cook?

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially named longtime NFL veteran Russell Wilson the starter for their team after six weeks of holding him out due to injury and having Justin Fields as the starter. Wilson proved that both QBs, newly signed in the offseason, are capable of leading this squad to victory. Week 7 was... different, though. […]

Will Travis Etienne Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne has been one of the biggest disappointments of the 2024 fantasy season. After going relatively early in drafts, Etienne has been banged up with injuries and has just 56 rushes for 230 yards and two touchdowns to go with 16 receptions for 91 yards on the season. Woof. Etienne […]

Will Deebo Samuel Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist, illness) is one of the most electric players in the entire league.

Will Zay Flowers Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

Even with the Ravens pounding the ground with running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers hasn't missed out on his slice of the action. Through the initial weeks, he’s been a target magnet, snagging nine or more in four out of six games, though he’s only danced into the end zone once. […]

Will Bucky Irving Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) has been a solid rookie running back and a surprise to fantasy managers and NFL fans considering where he was drafted. He was not selected until the 125th pick of the NFL Draft in the fourth round, giving him low draft capital. One of the most predictive […]

Will Tyreek Hill Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

The Miami Dolphins’ skill players took a serious hit in fantasy without their quarterback at the helm, but the tides might be turning as Tua Tagovailoa is slated to make his comeback in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. On the flip side, Tyreek Hill, the speedster who lit up Week 1 with 22.5 fantasy […]

Will Jayden Daniels Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) has been one of the biggest steals of the fantasy football draft this season.

His combination of decisiveness, decision-making, arm-talent, ability to elevate a mediocre receiving corps, […]

Will Tua Tagovailoa Play Today? Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update for Sunday (2024)

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. Earns Best Qualifying Run in Over a Year at Homestead

Despite the fact that Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. is currently having one of the slowest seasons of his career, he shocked the world with a fifth-place qualifying run yesterday at Homestead, his best since the spring Darlington race of 2023 when he qualified third. However, Homestead has not been a good track for him as in […]

Expect Zane Smith's Steady Consistency to Continue at Homestead

Although Zane Smith had a miserable first half of the season, he has definitely picked it up in the second half even if all his top ten finishes came in races where he was running considerably worse than that. Astonishingly, he actually has a better average finish than Joey Logano over the second half of […]

Both Ryan Preece and Stewart-Haas Racing Seem Ill-Suited to Intermediates

In a qualifying session where all the Fords looked miserable, lame-duck Stewart-Haas Racing driver Ryan Preece qualified 35th at Homestead and was the slowest full-time Ford driver. The SHR cars are typically slow on flat 1.5-mile ovals and Preece is arguably slower still as in 90 races on tracks between 1 and 2 miles in […]

Michael McDowell Couldn't Overcome Ford's Intermediate Speed Deficit in Homestead Qualifying

Despite winning a season-high six poles thanks to his dominant qualifying on drafting tracks, McDowell has definitely been hit-or-miss in terms of qualifying everywhere else, as he only qualified 24th for today's Homestead race, the worst since the Southern 500. McDowell hasn't factored much in the oval races where he didn't win the pole, and […]

Joey Logano's Team Likely to Ignore Homestead to Focus on Phoenix

After Joey Logano locked himself into the playoffs by winning last weekend's race at Las Vegas, it seems likely that his No. 22 team will likely be entirely focused on Phoenix likely at the expense of the next two races. When he won at Las Vegas to lock himself into the Championship Four in 2022, […]

Carson Hocevar Looks to Clinch Rookie of the Year Award

Carson Hocevar has a chance to wrap up the Rookie of the Year award in today's Homestead race as he leads his fellow rookie Josh Berry by 99 points. If he leaves with a 121-point lead after Homestead, Berry can't catch him. He probably won't clinch the award today, but since the Spire Motorsports cars […]

Daniel Hemric Qualifies Ninth for Best Start of the Year

Since Daniel Hemric lost his Kaulig Racing ride in 2025, he clearly has something to prove to any remaining NASCAR Cup Series owners who might be listening as he unexpectedly qualified 9th at Homestead, his best qualifying run of the season. This is particularly surprising since Hemric has never started a Cup Series race at […]

Denny Hamlin Is Strong at Homestead, but Sometimes Struggles in the Clutch

Denny Hamlin sits 27 points behind the playoff cutline to make the Championship Four, which means he will likely either need to win at Homestead or Martinsville and/or benefit from a poor finish from Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson, and/or William Byron. Hamlin can definitely win at Homestead. He's done so three times before, but it […]
