Keibert Ruiz Back In The Lineup

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (head, knee) is back behind the plate and is hitting fifth on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly. Ruiz was beat up behind the dish in the game on Monday and was given Tuesday off, but he's back in there on Wednesday. He also came off the […]

Jorge Polanco Not Playing Against Royals

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. Polanco will miss his second straight game after injuring his knee during a slide in Monday's contest. With a scheduled day off on Thursday, the Twins and fantasy managers will be hoping that Polanco can […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Undervalued At BMW Championship

Matt Fitzpatrick comes into the BMW Championship off a T5 last week in Memphis. For Fitzpatrick, he's in 12th position in the FedEx Cup standings, with two events to play. However, even with his finish last week, Fitzpatrick still has a very fair, and undervalued, DFS price this week. With the price, Fitzpatrick will only […]

Matt Duffy Begins Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Angels infielder Matt Duffy (back) began his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday and is expected to play there for a little more than a week. He left the game on June 26 and was dealing with tightness in his lower back, later being diagnosed with lower back spasms. […]

Mike Trout Could Return This Week

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout's (back, ribs) return from the injured list appears imminent, and interim manager Phil Nevin wouldn't rule out a return as early as Wednesday. However, it appears more likely that Trout would return against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. He started doing rotational exercises on Aug. 3 and swinging off […]

Jo Adell Expected To Return Soon

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (thumb) injured his right thumb on Monday night and felt discomfort gripping a baseball on Tuesday, which is why he was held out of the lineup against the Seattle Mariners. However, Adell faced right-hander Michael Lorenzen in a simulated game and hit two home runs. He said he can […]

Rory McIlroy Poised For A Great Week

It was a surprising missed cut for Rory McIlroy last week at the FedEx St. Jude. However, even with the result, McIlroy comes into the BMW Championship as the most expensive player in most DFS contests. Even with the price, McIlroy should be a great option this week. The PGA Tour will be played at […]

Kyle Schwarber Still Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (calf) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Schwarber will miss his sixth straight game with a right calf strain, and he's not expected to return to the lineup until Friday, at the earliest. The Phillies have an off day on Thursday, so they're hoping […]

Kyler Murray, Marquise Brown Finally Work Together

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (wrist) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) finally worked together for the first time this summer at training camp practice on Monday. "They just have a chemistry you can't really coach," wide receiver Greg Dortch said. "This is a grown man's game, but they are like kids out there, having […]

Kenjon Barner Placed On Injured Reserve

Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran running back Kenjon Barner (groin) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday due to a groin injury that he suffered in Saturday's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins.

Julio Jones To Take Part In Joint Practices

Jones didn't play in the team's preseason opener last Saturday against the Miami Dolphins, but he's not dealing with […]

Cade York Looks To Be Worth The Hype

Cleveland Browns rookie kicker Cade York looks to be worth the hype so far in training camp. He has been impressive throughout camp and made all six of his field-goal tries in practice on Tuesday, including two 50-plus-yarders. Unofficially, York has made 28 of 30 field-goal attempts in competitive situations, and one of his misses […]

David Bell Seeing More Work In Practice

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver David Bell, who missed around two weeks of training camp with a foot injury he suffered in June minicamp, got his most significant work in training camp practice on Tuesday, including multiple red-zone targets from quarterback Jacoby Brissett in game-like situations. The Browns aren't rushing Bell back and held him […]

Jaylen Waddle Day-To-Day With Minor Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is being listed as day-to-day with a minor unspecified injury at training camp. He wanted to practice on Tuesday but was held out for precautionary reasons. It shouldn't be much of an issue going forward, and hopefully Waddle will be able to get back on the practice field […]

Joshua Kelley Taking The Lead For RB2 Duties

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley had an efficient first preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams last Saturday (44 scrimmage yards on six touches), and he looks to be firmly in the lead for the No. 2 running back job behind starter Austin Ekeler. Kelley continued to get most of the first-team work […]

Competitive NFL Receiving Corps to Avoid in 2022 Fantasy Football Drafts

There is fantasy value on every NFL team. I can't name a single team where I would fade the whole team no matter what. But there are teams that are trickier than others to figure out. Maybe it's because there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Maybe it's because those cooks aren't very good […]

Justin Verlander Turns In Quality Start, No-Decision Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander turned in a pedestrian start by his standards in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox. Verlander went up against fellow Cy Young candidate Dylan Cease and pitched 7 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts. The fact that this was a down […]
