Jakeem Grant Sr. Injured On Saturday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (knee) exited Saturday's preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 30-year-old, who missed all last season with an Achilles injury, suffered a knee injury in this one. Even worse, he was taken off the field on a cart, which isn't a promising sign. Grant isn't expected to […]

Team USA guard Anthony Edwards played relatively well during Saturday's FIBA win over New Zealand. The 22-year-old, who head coach Steve Kerr recently referred to as "the guy," scored 14 points, finishing behind only Paulo Banchero, who had a game-high 21 points. Edwards did have five turnovers and missed all of his three attempts from […]

Franz Wagner Avoids Serious Injury

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is day-to-day. The 2021 No. 8 overall pick, suiting up for Germany in the FIBA World Cup, tweaked his ankle during Friday's win over Japan. While an MRI ruled out a serious injury, it's unknown if he'll be on the floor for the meeting against Australia on Sunday. That […]

P.J. Washington Finally Gets New Contract

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, restricted free-agent forward/center P.J. Washington agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract to remain in Charlotte. The 25-year-old finished last season by averaging a career-high 15.7 points along with 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 blocks in 73 games. He has emerged as one of the Hornets' most reliable producers, […]

Josh Jacobs Agrees To One-Year Deal With Raiders

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with the team. Although it isn't the long-term agreement Jacobs sought early in the offseason, it's at least enough to boost his morale and get him on the field for the 2023-24 campaign. The 25-year-old […]

No Structural Damage For Emerson Hancock

Seattle Mariners rookie right-hander Emerson Hancock (shoulder) doesn't have a tear or any structural damage in his right shoulder, but given that the recovery time frame for his injury was roughly four to six weeks when he suffered it during an Aug. 20 start, his 2023 season is likely over. Hancock was moved to the […]

Finding Wide Receiver Breakouts for Fantasy Football - Looking at Vacated Air Yards

Every year, wide receivers across the NFL change teams, which opens up new opportunities for new pass catchers on those old teams. One way to find breakouts at WR is to look for teams with new target opportunities available. Targets are one metric, but another metric that is underutilized by most fans, and perhaps even […]

Tom Murphy To Ramp Up Baseball Activities

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (thumb) was "given clearance to take baseball activities to the next level" by Dr. Donald Sheridan, according to general manager Justin Hollander. Murphy suffered a left-thumb sprain earlier in August. "Some of this is just going to be a pain discomfort tolerance thing," Hollander said, adding that surgery is not […]

Colin Selby To Start For Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie right-hander Colin Selby will make the start on Saturday against the visiting Chicago Cubs, with rookie right-hander Osvaldo Bido expected to be the bulk-relief pitcher. Selby has made only seven relief appearances for the Pirates in his first MLB season and hasn't gone more than two innings in any of his outings, […]

Kevin Kiermaier Retreats To The Bench

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier will start Saturday's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians on the bench with left-hander Logan Allen on the mound. The left-handed-hitting Kiermaier is actually hitting .299 (20-for-67) against southpaws in 2023, but he's yet to go deep against them in 43 games. Daulton Varsho will start in center field […]

Fernando Cruz To Serve As Opener Against Diamondbacks

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Fernando Cruz will serve as the team's opener on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cruz will only go an inning or two before likely giving way to right-hander Ben Lively (pectoral), who is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured to serve as the bulk reliever for this one. The 33-year-old […]

Brandon Belt Sitting Against Southpaw

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Brandon Belt is retreating to the bench on Saturday with the Cleveland Guardians starting left-hander Logan Allen. Bo Bichette is getting a day off his feet and will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the two-hole, while Santiago Espinal is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against Allen. […]

Alejandro Kirk Resting Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. Danny Jansen will do the catching and bat sixth against Guardians left-hander Logan Allen. Kirk continues to share playing time behind the dish with Jansen, limiting his overall fantasy appeal to two-catcher leagues. The 24-year-old Mexican […]

Cubs Calling Up Jordan Wicks

The Chicago Cubs are calling up their 2021 first-round pick, left-hander Jordan Wicks, from the minors on Saturday. Wicks, who turns 24 next week, was 7-0 with a 3.55 ERA between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa this year, also adding a 1.17 WHIP, 32 walks and 99 strikeouts in 91 1/3 total innings over 20 […]

Mike Evans In For A Big Season?

Contrary to popular belief, The Athletic's Dan Pompei writes that the expectation in Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp is that veteran wide receiver Mike Evans will actually have more production with quarterback Baker Mayfield throwing him the ball than he did with Tom Brady. Brady never forced passes to any receivers, but Mayfield is more […]

DK Metcalf Remains Geno Smith's Go-To Target

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf remains quarterback Geno Smith's go-to target after Metcalf accounted for 25.5 percent of Seattle's targets last year. The fifth-year wideout started his career as mostly an outside receiver, but he's evolved into a player who can stress defenses from the slot as well. […]

Tyrion Davis-Price Has Made Second-Year Leap

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price has made a big second-year leap heading into the 2023 season and put on 14 pounds in the offseason after being a third-round selection a year ago. Davis-Price has been quick and explosive and is a much better pass-catcher than he was […]

Ryan Preece Has Strong Track Record At Daytona

It has been quite a struggle-filled season for Ryan Preece and his No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing team, but they could compete for a good finish in Saturday night's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. In seven career Cup Series starts at this track, Preece has finished inside the top 10 in three of […]

George Pickens Ready For Second-Year Leap?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is extremely athletic, leading ESPN analyst Ryan Clark to say that he thinks Pickens is more athletic than Vikings All-Pro wideout Justin Jefferson. The Athletic's Mark Kaboly thinks Pickens could be a WR1 on many fantasy teams in his second season with quarterback Kenny Pickett already firing on all […]

J.J. Yeley Worth Considering In DFS On Saturday Night

J.J. Yeley is driving the No. 51 Ford for Rick Ware Racing in Saturday night's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway and will start from 33rd place when the race goes green. Typically, the Rick Ware Racing cars aren't very competitive in Cup Series action, but Daytona is a great equalizer when it […]

B.J. McLeod A Viable DFS Option At Daytona Saturday Night

It's not very often that we talk about B.J. McLeod when it comes to building DFS lineups, but with Saturday night's race being at Daytona International Speedway, McLeod should definitely be considered. When it comes to DFS success at superspeedway tracks like Daytona, it's all about place differential and finishing position. McLeod qualified in 38th-place […]

Dallas Goedert A Solid Investment

The Athletic's Bo Wulf writes that Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is as integral a part of the team's passing game as wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but he remains mired around TE7 in most fantasy drafts. There are health questions surround Goedert, but he has been dominant in training camp this […]

Josh Berry Making First-Ever Cup Series Start At Daytona

Josh Berry is behind the wheel of the No. 42 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club this weekend and he will be making his first-ever Cup Series start at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. Berry has made five starts at this track in the Xfinity Series, with an average finish of 20.8 and a best […]

Mecole Hardman Jr. Could Have A Big Role

New York Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have quickly built chemistry in training camp this summer, and Hardman has been a frequent target on Rodgers' quick passes shortly after the snap. Hardman is perfect for those plays because of his speed and after-the-catch ability, and the Jets should be able […]

Justin Haley A Solid Fantasy Option At Daytona

You typically don't hear much about Justin Haley during the NASCAR Cup Series season, but when the series stops at superspeedway tracks, Haley's name should definitely be in your head. In 97 career starts in NASCAR's top series, Haley has amassed just 12 top-10 finishes, but four of those have came at superspeedway tracks--two here […]

Commanders Remain High On Sam Howell

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Sam Howell has a chance to be a "really good" quarterback for the team. Since Kirk Cousins last played for the team in 2017, the franchise has started 12 different QBs due to injuries and ineptitude. In Rivera's three seasons in D.C., the team has started […]

Austin Dillon Looking For Another Miracle Win At Daytona

One year ago, Austin Dillon went to victory lane at Daytona International Speedway to lock himself into the 2022 Playoffs field. This season, he's in a similar situation--on the outside looking in, and hoping to get a win to make the postseason. The good news for him is that the series' regular season finale is […]
