Mick Abel Finishing Season On High Note

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Mick Abel threw five scoreless innings on Wednesday for Double-A Reading. The right-hander allowed three hits, one run, three walks and struck out eight in his performance. Abel has had his ups and downs throughout the season, but he is finishing the season strong with a 1.17 ERA over his last […]

Joshua Kelley - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley could be a starting option in fantasy leagues in Week 2 if starter Austin Ekeler (ankle) is forced to miss time. Ekeler missed practice this week with an ankle injury and is currently listed as questionable. Kelley received a near even share of carries and snaps in Week […]

Titans Defense Not On Fantasy Radar Against Chargers

The Tennessee Titans posted a strong defensive performance in Week 1, holding the New Orleans Saints to 16 points, sacking quarterback Derek Carr four times, and forcing two turnovers. However, Tennessee's fantasy defense/special teams unit faces a tough matchup in Week 2 against the high-powered Los Angeles Chargers' offense. Even if Austin Ekeler (ankle) doesn't […]

Corbin Carroll Back In The Leadoff Spot Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is back in the starting lineup and hitting leadoff Thursday against the New York Mets and right-hander Kodai Senga. The lefty-swinging Carroll didn't start Wednesday's contest against Mets southpaw Joey Lucchesi but will take over in right field for Thursday's series finale. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a well-documented brilliant rookie […]

Riley Patterson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson did not attempt a field goal in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but he does have upside in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Last week, Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher attempted three extra points and five field goals against Seattle. If Patterson is set […]

Justin Herbert - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is a strong fantasy option in a Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans. Herbert played well enough in Week 1, but the Chargers relied on their ground game which limited his opportunities. They'll likely throw more in Week 2 against a Titans defense that didn't do much in […]

Mid-Week Waiver Wire Rankings: Ronny Mauricio, Heston Kjerstad, Christopher Morel, Evan Carter, Anthony Volpe, more

Hey, RotoBallers! Today, we will review our mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings list for Week 26 - September 18 through September 24  to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. Some notable prospect notes include the Orioles calling up top first base prospect Heston Kjerstad while […]

Lions Defense Not Worth Starting In Week 2

The Detroit Lions defense posted an impressive outing in Week 1, holding Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to 20 points and scoring a defensive touchdown. However, it's too early to say if Detroit has turned its defense around enough to enter the fantasy radar. The Seattle Seahawks were abysmal on offense last week, […]

Christian Watson Still Not Practicing Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) missed yet another practice on Thursday after being with the team for the stretching period. Watson was inactive for the Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears and has yet to practice this week. The 24-year-old still has a chance to practice on Friday, but at this […]

Sam LaPorta Has High-End TE2 Outlook Against Seahawks

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught all five of his targets in his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. That's not a bad way to start a season and career, so he's comfortably on the fantasy radar moving forward. In Week 2, he'll face a Seattle Seahawks squad that gave up […]

Aaron Jones Misses Another Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) missed a second straight practice on Thursday and stayed inside after the stretching period when the team went outside to work. Jones tweaked his hamstring at the end of a long touchdown catch and run in the Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears and didn't return […]

Calvin Austin III Expected To See More Playing Time

With Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) potentially out up to a month due to hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, second-year wideout Calvin Austin III is expected to see more playing time after spending his entire rookie season on Injured Reserve with a foot injury. […]

Josh Reynolds - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught four passes for 80 yards in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. It looks like he'll operate as the team's No. 2 wide receiver, at least in the absence of Jameson Williams (suspension) until Week 7. That said, he's an intriguing flex option against the […]

Travis Kelce's Week 2 Status Up In The Air

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said that tight end Travis Kelce (knee) looked good during a limited practice on Wednesday, but head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach will make the final call on whether Kelce plays in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nagy said the team has prepared game […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has established himself as a must-start fantasy option in all matchups, but it's worth noting he could produce a major boom performance in the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua caught ten passes for 119 yards on 15 targets against Seattle last […]

Jahmyr Gibbs - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was out-touched by David Montgomery nine to 21 in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That said, he's a risky flex option moving forward until his workload sees an uptick. Depending on when he was drafted, some fantasy managers might not have a choice but to […]

David Montgomery - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery looked the clear lead ball carrier in the team's Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old rushed 21 times for 74 yards and a touchdown, while rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs had just nine total touches. While Gibbs is likely to eat into Montgomery's workload as […]

Is Kenneth Gainwell Playing In Week 2? Should I Pickup And Start Rashaad Penny? Fantasy Football Outlook

The Philadelphia Eagles had an elite rushing attack in 2022. They led the NFL in rushing touchdowns (32) and finished top-five in rushing attempts (third with 544) and rushing yards (fifth with 2,509). However, things changed this offseason. The Eagles lost Miles Sanders in free agency. Last year, the former Penn State star had 259 […]

Elly De La Cruz Hitting Eighth Against Tigers

Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Elly De La Cruz is starting at shortstop and is hitting eighth in the batting order on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Reese Olson. De La Cruz has burst onto the major-league scene this year and helped the Reds surprisingly compete for a wild-card spot, but he's gone just […]

Jared Goff - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a decent Week 1 outing against the Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for 253 yards and one touchdown. A Week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks could raise his ceiling. Seattle was picked apart by Matthew Stafford (334 passing yards) in Week 1, despite the Los Angeles Rams being without […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Starting On The Bench

Cincinnati Reds rookie third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Spencer Steer is starting at third base and batting third, while Jake Fraley is the designated hitter and batting leadoff against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Now that Fraley […]
