Brad Keselowski Focused On The Win Entering Playoffs

Brad Keselowski, who qualified fifth for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500, has a lot of momentum entering the playoffs. Although he hasn't won a race since 2021, he finished second last week at Daytona, just behind the No. 17 car, which he owns. With both RFK drivers in the Chase for the Cup, Keselowski's focus […]

Brian Burns, Panthers Not Close On New Contract

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Panthers and linebacker Brian Burns are "not at all close" on an extension. The 28-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign by logging 12.5 sacks, increasing his total to 38 since being a first-round draft pick in 2019. Luckily, Burns is expected to suit up this season despite coming off ankle […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Could Have Unique Role

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs could be utilized in "some ways that people don't quite think we might," according to offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. While it's unclear exactly what this means, perhaps Detroit could look to get Gibbs more targets in the passing game, as well as more snaps in general. In redraft […]

J.D. Davis Returning To The Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Cooper Kupp Unlikely To Play Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) could be held out of action Week 1. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "exercising caution for Week 1 is the likely outcome."

Danny Jansen Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. This doesn't comes as a surprise after Jansen fractured his finger when he took a ball off his hand during Friday's game. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return to the field.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Williamson won't make his scheduled start on Sunday due to COVID-19, according to manager David Bell. The team hasn't officially placed Williamson on the injured list, but that will likely happen soon.

Emmet Sheehan Named Saturday's Starter

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan has been recalled and will make the start against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

Daniel Suarez A Sneaky Option At Darlington

On Saturday afternoon, Daniel Suarez qualified 21st for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

Undervalued Mid-Round Running Backs for Fantasy Football - James Conner, David Montgomery, Miles Sanders, more

While fantasy football players love to obsess about the running backs at the top of the draft board, the league-winning players are in the middle rounds. Last year, Miles Sanders, Tony Pollard, Kenneth Walker, and Rhamondre Stevenson were mid-round running backs. Yet, all four ended the year as a top-16 running back in half-point PPR […]

A.J. Allmendinger Provides Little Upside At Darlington

On Saturday afternoon, A.J. Allmendinger qualified 16th for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

Furthermore, while the 41-year-old Kaulig Racing star has 12 Cup starts at "The Lady […]

2023 Draft Sleepers List for Fantasy Football Drafts - Anthony Richardson, Jerome Ford, Nico Collins, more

Sleeper is a term that's become almost mythical these days. It can mean 10 different things to 10 different people. We each need to define it, as a "sleeper" to a 10-team drafter will be obvious to someone prepping for a 14-teamer. I'll try to dig beyond the top-12 QB/TE choices, as well as the […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Begins 25th Sunday At Darlington

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified 25th for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 from Darlington Raceway. In 15 Cup starts at the "Lady in Black," the Daytona 500 champion has just one top 10, with an average finish of 23rd. Likewise, his recent performances this season have been underwhelming as well. Since June 4, the 35-year-old has […]

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in Saturday's starting lineup versus the Chicago White Sox. The right-handed slugger is back in the lineup after missing each of the last three games.

Alex Bowman Strong Dark Horse Because Of Blake Harris

Despite failing to advance to the playoffs for the first time as a full-time Hendrick driver, Bowman has actually performed better this year than you likely think. Bowman's speed percentile of 67.47% this year is actually his third-best as a full-time Hendrick driver; he was only faster in 2020 and 2021. The main difference is […]

Michael McDowell Will Start Ninth At Darlington.

Michael McDowell, who will start ninth in Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500, has been inconsistent entering the playoffs.
