Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (back, elbow), the first overall pick in 2018, has recovered from elbow and back surgery. "I'm ready to go," Mize said. He hasn't pitched for the Tigers since April 14 of 2022. The 26-year-old had his two surgeries in the summer of 2022, with Tommy John surgery knocking him out […]

Jake Oettinger Exits Game With Lower-Body Injury

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger suffered a lower-body injury and left Friday's game against the Senators. Oettinger allowed two goals on four shots prior to exiting the contest, and the 24-year-old was helped off the ice at the 8:03 mark of the first period. Oettinger was replaced by backup goaltender Scott Wedgewood, who stopped 25-of-27 […]

Bam Adebayo Still Out On Saturday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) remains out on Saturday against the visiting Chicago Bulls. The 26-year-old has missed the last six games because of a hip contusion, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be ready to return. But until Adebayo is back on the floor, Orlando Robinson, averaging 8.3 points and 6.2 boards in […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return On Friday Night

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) won't return to Friday's meeting with the Knicks. Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker were playing in only their second game as a trio this season. Unfortunately, the former Wizard came down on Donte DiVincenzo's heel during a shot attempt and suffered a right ankle sprain, ending his night […]

Jets D/ST A Mediocre Week 15 Option

The New York Jets recorded five sacks while surrendering only six points to the Houston Texans in an impressive Week 14 victory. The team will now travel to Miami to take on the division-rival Dolphins on Sunday. Although New York intercepted quarterback Tua Tagovailoa twice and scored a defensive touchdown in Week 12, it still […]

Greg Zuerlein Should Be Avoided Against Dolphins

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein was excellent in Week 14, drilling three field goals and going three-for-three on extra-point tries. Unfortunately, he may not see as many opportunities on the road in Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins' defense has been rather stout at home this season, limiting opponents to just over […]

Tyler Conklin Offers A Decent Floor In Week 15

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin secured four of six targets for 57 yards with quarterback Zach Wilson under center last week and will look to stay involved against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Miami's defense has limited opposing tight ends this season but is currently dealing with several injuries. Conklin, who has not […]

Garrett Wilson A Borderline Must-Start In Divisional Battle

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson posted his highest yardage total of the season last week while earning 14 targets in Zach Wilson's return to the starting lineup. He'll look to keep rolling in an away matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Miami's defense, which is currently dealing with multiple injuries, has surrendered […]

Breece Hall A Solid RB2 Against Dolphins

New York Jets running back Breece Hall was limited in practice earlier this week with an ankle injury but logged a full practice on Friday and is set to take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The Dolphins' run defense has been quite good this season, especially in Miami, where the two division rivals will […]

Zach Wilson Hoping For Continued Success In Week 15

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will be carrying some positive momentum from last week's win over the Houston Texans into a Week 15 divisional showdown with the Miami Dolphins. Wilson was initially listed on the team's injury report this week with a knee ailment but logged three full practices and is set to suit […]

Trey Wingenter Sticking With Tigers

Relief pitcher Trey Wingenter signed a minor-league deal to stay with the Detroit Tigers. The deal has an invitation to Spring Training. Wingenter has a career 3.82 FIP. His 5.28 ERA over 90 games isn't as promising as his FIP, but his 121 strikeouts in 87 innings show his potential. The 29-year-old doesn't hold any […]

Trevor Gott Signs With Athletics

Relief pitcher Trevor Gott signed with the Oakland Athletics on Friday. The 31-year-old pitched with the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets last season, appearing in 64 games with a 4.19 ERA. The A's could try to deploy Gott in high-leverage situations, hoping to move him for a prospect at the deadline if he shows […]

Keaton Mitchell - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Plus Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: The electric rookie continues to make the most of his limited touches. Unfortunately, the key word in the previous sentence is "limited". Mitchell has yet to log double-digits carries in a game in his young NFL career and was on the field for just […]

Aaron Rodgers Won't Play In Week 15

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was a limited participant during Friday's practice but has been ruled out again in Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins. This is now back-to-back days that Rodgers has been limited in practice. He's three months removed from an Achilles rupture. That being said, it's incredible that Rodgers is […]

Edward Olivares Being Traded To Pirates

Outfielder Edward Olivares has been traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Olivares will be 28 in March and just received his first extended look in the majors this season. Over 107 games, he produced a 109 OPS+, indicating his offensive output was 9 percent better than the league average. The Pirates […]

Odell Beckham Jr. - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Plus Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. looked like...well, like Odell Beckham Jr. last week against the Rams, catching four passes for 97 yards and a touchdown and making some impressive plays in the contest. He saw a season-high 10 targets in the […]

Matt Carpenter, Ryan Kerr Headed To Braves

Designated hitter Matt Carpenter is going from the San Diego Padres to the Atlanta Braves in a three-player swap. The Braves also acquired relief pitcher Ray Kerr. Carpenter, 38, resurrected his career in 2022 with the New York Yankees, though he couldn't replicate that success for the Padres last season. Atlanta will hope to get […]

Jake Browning - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team & Two-QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Browning has outperformed all expectations while taking over for the injured Joe Burrow. The career backup has now posted back-to-back fantasy QB4 outings while leading Cincinnati to two straight wins. Can Jake Browning continue his historic start? 🎯 📺: #MINvsCIN - Saturday […]

Steelers D/ST Has Upside In Week 15

The Pittsburgh Steelers recorded two sacks and one interception while surrendering 21 points in a loss to the New England Patriots last week. This was projected to be an extremely low-scoring affair, so it was relatively surprising to see New England score over 20 points for the first time since Week 7 against this defense. […]

Jayden Reed - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Plus Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR3 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed set new career-high marks in targets and receptions last week against the New York Giants, with the ball coming Reed's way 10 times. He caught eight of those passes, but only managed 27 yards. […]

Chris Boswell A Sneaky Streaming Option On Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled his lone field goal attempt and converted on his only extra-point try of a 21-18 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 14. The 32-year-old will hope to be much more involved on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Although the Steelers' offense led by quarterback Mitch Trubisky is […]

Pat Freiermuth A Middling Starting Option In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been held in check over the past two weeks but will hope to return to form in a Week 15 bout with the Indianapolis Colts. It was not surprising to see little output from Freiermuth last week against the New England Patriots, who have been stout against the […]

Rashee Rice - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-Plus Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end WR2 ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice has played well this season, but for much of the year his role in the Kansas City offense just wasn't where onlookers thought it should be. He wasn't getting the snaps and running the routes […]

Chase Brown Not A Safe Option In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is coming off the best performance of his young career. The rookie had eight carries for 25 yards in the Week 14 win over the Colts. More importantly, he caught all three of his targets, one of which resulted in his first career touchdown. Brown has 17 carries in […]

George Pickens Not A Reliable Option Against Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has not found the end zone since Week 8 and will hope to get on the same page as quarterback Mitch Trubisky against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. The Colts have been far more vulnerable against the run than the pass as Indianapolis has surrendered the 11th-fewest fantasy […]

Joe Mixon Remains A Must-Start On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon played better than expected through the first 14 weeks of the 2023-24 campaign. Although the former Sooner hasn't hit the 100-yard mark as a runner this season, he's still getting it done for fantasy managers. Mixon found the end zone in six of his previous seven games, and he's […]

Jaylen Warren Worth Flex Consideration In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren failed to eclipse double-digit fantasy points in each of his past three outings but could certainly turn things around in a Week 15 showdown with the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy backs have routinely posted solid numbers against Indianapolis this season, both on the ground and through the air. This bodes […]
