Jordan Westburg (2B/3B, BAL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Unsurprisingly, the Orioles have come out swinging to begin the 2024 campaign, outscoring the Angels 24-7 in the season's opening two games. Second-year infielder Jordan Westburg contributed to Baltimore's offensive outburst, collecting three RBI across seven at-bats. He added an RBI single to center […]

Kenley Jansen Unavailable In Loss Due To Back Tightness

Boston Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen was unavailable to pitch in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners due to back tightness. Instead, the team turned to Joely Rodriguez and Justin Slaten in the bottom of the tenth in an attempt to preserve the win after the Sox scored two in the top of the inning, […]

Christopher Bell Disappoints in Qualifying, Will Start 29th at Richmond

Christopher Bell came into the Toyota Owners 400 race weekend as one of the favorites to win the race, but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is going to have some work to do on Sunday night. Bell's No. 20 Toyota bobbled a bit during his qualifying run on Saturday morning and Bell wasn't able to […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Dominant In Second Start

After getting roughed up in his first start during the Seoul Series against the Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto bounced back nicely in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals. Yamamoto came out firing, striking out the first batter of the game on three pitches, proceeded to strike out the side, and ended […]

Denny Hamlin Always a Contender at Richmond and Is a Great DFS Pick

Death. Taxes. Denny Hamlin contending at Richmond Raceway. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has finished sixth or better in 13 of the last 16 races at this track, including a win in the first NextGen race here. Over those four races in this new car, Hamlin has the best average running position, the best average […]

Chris Buescher a Force to Be Reckoned with at Richmond

Chris Buescher may not be the first driver that comes to mind when the NASCAR Cup Series visits a short, flat track, but he should be in your top tier. Buescher is the most recent race winner at Richmond Raceway, as he won here last July despite starting relatively deep in the field (26th). This […]

2024 Fantasy Football Best Ball Strategy: Late-Round Sleepers, Targets, and Values

Fantasy football has become a year-round game, with dynasty leagues being more popular than ever. However, best ball leagues are the fastest-growing form of fantasy football. Several platforms have added best ball leagues over the past few years. Yet, Underdog Fantasy remains my favorite. Most of their drafts are 12 teams and 20 rounds. Let’s […]

Early Look at Tight Ends in 2024 Fantasy Football Drafts

It is never too early to start looking at players for your upcoming fantasy football drafts. The NFL Draft will be here in no time, but we do have to wait a while for the 105th season of the NFL to start. Exploring the tight end landscape now can hold you over until it is […]

Who is the Padres Closer? Fantasy Baseball Saves Outlook

The San Diego Padres had an elite closer in Josh Hader for a couple of seasons. San Diego acquired Hader at the trade deadline in 2022, but he really struggled with a 7.31 ERA across 19 appearances to finish that year. However, the southpaw rebounded in a big way last year by totaling 33 saves […]

Top Five Injured Players to Stash in Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

As a fantasy baseball manager, you've likely spent the last few weeks (maybe even months) researching and charting a course for championship glory in 2024. With drafts now completed, the journey to a winning season has officially begun. However, the path to fantasy success can be long and grueling. As the 162-game season unfolds, you'll […]

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (March 2024)

Happy Opening Day! The wait is finally over and we can once again settle into the grind of setting lineups and scouring the waiver wire. In redraft leagues, the fun is just ramping back up, but in dynasty leagues, there is no offseason, especially when it comes to dynasty and prospect rankings. All offseason, I […]

Daniel Hemric Will Likely Continue To Be Slow at Richmond

Daniel Hemric has been the slowest full-time driver of 2024 with a speed percentile of 17.51. Don't expect that to change much after today's race at Richmond as he qualified a mere 34th only ahead of the Rick Ware cars of Kaz Grala and Justin Haley. Although Hemric finished all three of starts at Richmond, […]

Justin Haley's Momentum Derailed by Effects of COTA Disqualification

Although Justin Haley delivered two of Rick Ware Racing's best-ever performances in his last two races, earning the team the best average running position in back-to-back events, his last race at Circuit of the Americas was overshadowed by a post-race disqualification when it was revealed that his car was too light. The last-place finish culminated […]

Kaz Grala's Strong Xfinity Series Richmond Record Probably Won't Help Him in Cup

Kaz Grala will be making his first NASCAR Cup Series start at Richmond this weekend, and Richmond was actually one of Grala's most productive tracks in the Xfinity Series, as he scored top-10 finishes in his last three starts there culminating in a fourth-place finish at last year's spring event, tying for his best career […]

Ty Dillon Returns to Action, but is Subpar on Short Tracks

Ty Dillon makes his debut in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series this weekend at Richmond for Kaulig Racing, but don't expect him to do much. Similarly to Harrison Burton and Austin Cindric, Dillon has finished every race at Richmond he's started but has never led a lap or really done anything in his past races. […]

Austin Cindric Mediocre at Richmond and Poor Ford Speed Won't Help

Austin Cindric has not been particularly strong at Richmond. Although he has finished all five of his attempts, he has never finished on the lead lap, led a lap, or posted a result better than 12th. His average finish of 22.8 is below average even though the Fords were generally strong in most of those […]

Harrison Burton Not a Master of Richmond Unlike Father Jeff

Although Jeff Burton led more laps at Richmond International Raceway than any other track, his son Harrison has not been nearly as successful. Although Harrison Burton has finished all four of his Richmond starts, he has never finished better than 18th or led a lap in any of his Richmond races to date. This weekend, […]

Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Sunday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year continues to be bothered by a rib injury. But he looked just fine in Friday's much-needed win over the Denver Nuggets and finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks in 35 […]

Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Houston

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets. There haven't been many times where Doncic isn't listed on the injury report. But he's now uncertain to suit up because of knee soreness. The Rockets need a win to get closer to the Play-In picture. On the other hand, Dallas […]

DFS NASCAR Advanced Stats for DraftKings, FanDuel: Toyota Owners 400 Lineup Picks

My NASCAR “By the DFS Numbers” Race Previews include a combination of statistical markers from Loop Data reports and the RotoBaller NASCAR Cup Series Research Station.

Loop Data stats […]

Clay Holmes Records Second Save In 2024

New York Yankees right-hander Clay Holmes tossed a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Houston Astros. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. The 31-year-old needed 11 pitches to make quick work of the Astros en route to his second save of the […]

Toyota Owners 400: DraftKings, FanDuel NASCAR Cup Series Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Richmond this weekend for the Toyota Owners 400. Last weekend at COTA, William Byron dominated, leading 42 of the 68 laps as he became the first driver to win twice this season. Despite that, he sits just sixth in the overall standings right now. Martin Truex Jr. hasn't won […]

Anthony Edwards Questionable Versus The Bulls

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edward (finger) is questionable for Sunday's clash with the Bulls. Edwards has appeared on the injury report several times throughout the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's only missed three games. The Timberwolves are barely clinging to the top spot in the Western Conference, so it would be surprising if the 22-year-old weren't […]

Lars Nootbaar Set For Rehab Assignment Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (ribs) will likely begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday. He had four at-bats and got five innings of work in a simulated game in Florida. The 26-year-old is eligible to come off the injured list on Thursday. He had two non-displaced fractures in his left ribcage […]
