Isaiah Hodgins (WR, NYG) - 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~172 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~230 ANALYSIS:  The Giants traded for Darren Waller, who is expected to become Daniel Jones’ top target, pushing both Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins down the depth chart. However, the rest of their offseason additions are just average players. Moreover, none of them are true outside receivers […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Puts In Limited Practice Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was able to put in a limited practice on Wednesday in the team's first official practice of the 2023 regular season. Robinson is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered to his right knee in Week 11 of his rookie season last year, but […]

Zack Wheeler Twirls Gem Versus San Diego

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler was lights out Wednesday, giving up one hit and two walks while not allowing a runner to cross the plate. Wheeler went six innings to grab the quality start and a 5-1 win over the Padres. Over his last seven starts, Wheeler is 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA, 0.87 […]

Austin Gomber Heading To Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) was skipped in his last start and will now be placed on the injured list due to back tightness. He was pulled from his most recent start and things haven't progressed the way the team would've liked. Gomber has nine wins this year but has pitched poorly overall […]

Riley Adams Leaves In Middle Of At-Bat

Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams (hand, wrist) was forced to leave Wednesday's game with a 1-2 count after fouling a ball off. Adams hurt his left hand or wrist and couldn't continue. He's been a solid contributor in a part-time role for the Nats but doesn't offer any fantasy value. Nonetheless, hopefully everything checks out […]

Tyler Glasnow Racks Up 14 Strikeouts Versus Boston

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow picked up a quality start and a win Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. He struck out 14 batters in six innings. The big righthander gave up three hits and one walk, allowing one runner to score. The dominant performance lowered his ERA to 3.07. He induced 22 […]

Jake Haener Suspended For PEDs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener was suspended six games for violating the NFL's PED policy on Wednesday. Haener, a fourth-round pick out of Fresno State in 2023, will kick off his NFL career away from the team as he serves out his suspension. He will first be eligible to return to the team's active […]

Skyy Moore (WR, KC): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~117 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~142 ANALYSIS: Even though the offseason departures of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman Jr. have extricated both wide receivers from Kansas City’s depth chart, the prospective target distribution among the Chiefs’ remaining arsenal of receivers has been difficult to predict. The situation also remains unclear after Kadarius […]

Cody Bellinger Homers Again Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and his 24th home run in a win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday afternoon. Bellinger's OPS now sits at .920 and has played like a borderline top-five outfielder this season and may only be behind Freddie Freeman at first base […]

Jamal Adams Expected To Return To Practice Next Week

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) is expected to return to practice next week, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Adams injured his knee in Week 1 last season and is on the final stretch of his rehab as he looks to get back on the field for Seattle. Adams is "in the best shape […]

Adolis Garcia Leaves Early With Injury

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia left the game against the Houston Astros early Wednesday night with right knee discomfort. Garcia lept to rob a Michael Brantley home run and stayed down for a few moments. It'd be a tough blow for the Rangers and fantasy managers alike if he has to miss time, as Garcia […]

DeVante Parker Puts In A Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on the team's first official injury report of the 2023 regular season on Wednesday. Parker has been dealing with a knee injury, but it doesn't seem very serious, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback this week, he […]

Joe Mixon Hoping To Turn Things Around In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is coming off a subpar 2022-23 campaign. The former Oklahoma Sooner ran for 1,205 yards and totaled 16 touchdowns in 2021. However, he regressed statistically last season, gaining only 814 rushing yards while finding the end zone nine times. Mixon took a pay cut during the offseason to remain […]

Kendre Miller Unable To Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. It's not a good sign for the rookie's availability to begin his first NFL campaign in a Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. The third-round pick also was battling a knee sprain in the middle of […]

Tee Higgins Looking For Strong Start To The Season

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins didn't get the contract extension he sought during the offseason. As a result, he should have plenty of motivation to produce throughout the 2023-24 campaign. The 24-year-old is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, doing so despite the presence of Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd. Although Chase is the top […]

Matt Manning Leaves Game After Being Hit By Comebacker

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (ankle, foot) was removed from his start early in the first inning on Wednesday against the New York Yankees in the Bronx after he took a line drive off his right ankle/foot off the bat of outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. Manning made it just one inning in his start before departing, […]

Gary Sanchez Suffers Fractured Wrist

San Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez (wrist) has been diagnosed with a fractured wrist, according to manager Bob Melvin. Sanchez will now miss the rest of the regular season after joining the Padres on May 21. The 30-year-old former Yankees backstop was a key acquisition in the first half of the season, and his bat […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, KC): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~118 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~126 ANALYSIS:  Jerick McKinnon is one of the best values right now that can be had in the RB4 range of your fantasy drafts. He finished as the RB26 last year in half-PPR PPG. If you’re waiting on running back, McKinnon is one heck of a target late. […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looking For A Strong Showing Against Cleveland

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will begin his quest to become the league's top wideout on Sunday versus the AFC North rival Browns. The 2021 No. 5 overall pick has been potent for fantasy managers since entering the NFL, amassing 168 catches for 2,501 yards and 22 touchdowns. Those numbers would have undoubtedly been […]

Diamondbacks Set To Promote Jordan Lawlar

The Arizona Diamondbacks are planning to promote their top prospect, Jordan Lawlar, from Triple-A Reno before Thursday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs, according to a source. The Diamondbacks are pulling out all the stops as they try to secure a wild-card spot in the National League this year. Lawlar started his first career game […]

Shohei Ohtani Remains Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (oblique, elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. Ohtani felt something in his right oblique while taking batting practice and has been held out since, but he's managed to avoid going on the injured list for now and is considered day-to-day after […]

Jonathan Mingo (WR, CAR): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~169 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~192 ANALYSIS: It’s surprising that Jonathan Mingo’s average draft position (ADP) has remained so low, considering the potential he brings to Carolina's offense. Are the players the Panthers signed such as Adam Thielen, D.J. Chark, and Hayden Hurst actually good enough to prevent Mingo from having a productive […]

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~132 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~179 ANALYSIS:  Since DeAndre Hopkins was released, Rondale Moore's ADP has been steadily climbing, and it's likely to continue doing so. However, it's unlikely to reach a point where he becomes a receiver fantasy managers shouldn't be targeting. Moore's 2022 season mostly went unnoticed due to Marquise […]

Treylon Burks A Full Practice Participant Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Burks looks ready to rock for the start of the 2023 regular season in a Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints after he injured his LCL in training camp on Aug. 16. The 23-year-old former first-rounder […]

Kadarius Toney, Richie James Will Play Against Lions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (knee) and Richie James (knee) both practiced in full on Wednesday and have been cleared to play in Thursday night's regular season opener against the visiting Detroit Lions. Tight end Travis Kelce (knee) is questionable after hyperextending his knee in practice on Tuesday, so there could be more […]

Late-Round Lotto Tickets - 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Picks That Could Pay Off Big

Landing "your guy" with a first-round pick in fantasy football is an exhilarating feeling. From the pre-pick anticipation to finally pulling the trigger on one of your favorite studs, this can be a dream come true. But perhaps even more exciting is finding a diamond in the rough in the form of a late-round sleeper. […]

Draft Targets After Round 10 - Fantasy Football Best Ball Sleepers Include Raheem Mostert, Elijah Mitchell, Marvin Mims Jr., more

We're officially in the thick of the fantasy football draft season. The preseason is over and teams have cut down to 53 players for their active rosters. With NFL action beginning on Thursday, September 7, we know who is healthy or injured and which players are attractive in the early rounds of best ball drafts. […]

Christian Watson Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was held out of practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Fellow wideout Romeo Doubs (hamstring) also didn't practice, which suddenly leaves the Packers receiving corps very thin heading into their Week 1 regular season opener this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. […]

Mike Evans Healthy Heading Into Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (groin) wasn't listed with an injury designation on the team's first injury report of the year on Wednesday. Evans didn't play in the team's preseason finale as a precaution due to a groin injury, but it obviously wasn't a very serious injury and he'll be locked and loaded […]
