NBA Summer League Losers - Guards: Johnny Davis, R.J. Hampton, Shaedon Sharpe

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season. On the other hand, rostering players in perfect situations can be the ultimately league-winning move for savvy fantasy GMs. Today, let's talk about some potential busts and sleepers that […]

Cincinnati Bengals WR: Is Three A Crowd?

Come and knock on my door…we’ve been waiting for you. This reference will probably be lost on some of you, but in the 1980s, there was a sitcom called Three’s Company. The premise is that a cute guy moves in with two women, one hot and buxomly and the other cute and smart. Sound familiar? […]

Path To QB1: Justin Herbert's Fantasy Football Outlook for 2022

Justin Herbert has become one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in the NFL since entering the league in 2020. The strong-armed quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers is entering his third season and he's already shown that he is a viable source of production in fantasy football. In his first two seasons with the Chargers, […]

What Are The Details Of The Kyler Murray Contract?

Quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals had an eventful offseason, to say the least. Murray began angling for a contract extension shortly after the regular season ended and eventually removed all Cardinals-related content from his social media accounts shortly after the Pro Bowl. His agent, Erik Burkhardt, also got involved by publicly questioning whether […]

James Outman Homers In Debut

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman made his major league debut Sunday, and he came a triple shy of the cycle. The rookie went 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored. This impressive performance surely will turn some heads, but there's no guarantee of playing time […]

Reid Detmers Strikes Out 12

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was impressive on Sunday against the Texas Rangers, allowing just two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks in seven innings to the Texas Rangers. He struck out 12 batters, surpassing by far his previous game high this year of seven strikeouts. Detmers has enjoyed a […]

Jurickson Profar Adds Homer And Steal

San Diego Padres utility man Jurickson Profar once again had a solid game on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, going 2-for-4 at the plate with a home run, a stolen base, and two runs scored. Profar now has 11 homers and five steals on the season. He has four multi-hit performances in his last six […]

Jose Miranda Hits 10th Homer Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda hit double digits in home runs Sunday, knocking his 10th home run of the season off San Diego Padres starting pitcher Sean Manaea. Miranda has been on some kind of hot streak of late, slashing .340/.392/.574 with six home runs over his last 30 games. He has a hit in […]

Luis Arraez Homers Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez went deep Sunday, knocking his sixth home run of the year in a 3-2 loss to the San Diego Padres. It was his only hit in four trips to the plate. Arraez last homered on July 16. He now has a .333/.403/.440 slash line with 56 runs scored, 34 RBI, […]

Carlos Rodon Brilliant Amidst Trade Rumors

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was at his best Sunday evening, allowing just two hits to the Chicago Cubs in a 4-0 victory. He neither gave up a run nor walked a batter while striking out 10. If the Giants do choose to trade Rodon in the coming days, they could not have […]

Deshaun Watson Ruling To Come On Monday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson may learn his fate on Monday. The league's disciplinary officer, Judge Sue L. Robinson, is anticipated to reach a decision on the case after giving the NFL and NFL Players Association time to settle. However, with nothing of the sort expected, Robinson will be the deciding factor in this ordeal. […]

Deebo Samuel Agrees To Extension With 49ers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel agreed to a three-year, $73.5 million extension, including $58.1 million in guarantees. The 26-year-old was a top fantasy producer last season, accumulating 1,405 yards and six touchdowns off 77 catches (121 targets). He also got some work out of the backfield, rushing for 365 yards off 59 attempts […]

Eric Hosmer Removed During Sunday's Game

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (neck) was removed during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. There was some speculation that this removal was trade-related, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, the 32-year-old is dealing with a minor neck strain. Fantasy managers should consider this a day-to-day issue. This doesn't sound […]

Dixon Machado Acquired By Giants

The San Francisco Giants have acquired shortstop Dixon Machado from the Chicago Cubs. In exchange, the Cubs will receive right-handed pitcher Raynel Espinal from the Giants. This was a desperation move for the Giants who are without a shortstop on their active roster. Both Brandon Crawford (knee) and Thairo Estrada (concussion) are sidelined. Machado is […]

Brandon Drury Has Hot Trade Market

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Brandon Drury has a surprisingly hot trade market heading into the deadline. The 29-year-old is having a breakout year with the Reds. Drury is slashing .275/.336/.523 with 20 homers and 59 RBI in 380 plate appearances. As of right now, the Dodgers, Mariners, and Braves are all reportedly interested in Drury. […]

Clay Holmes Suffers Blown Save On Sunday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes had a disastrous outing against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The right-hander allowed a three-run homer in the ninth inning, which was only the second time he has been scored on this month. This counts as his third blown save of the season as his command continues […]

Ty France Won't Land On Injured List

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (wrist) won't require a trip to the injured list, according to manager Scott Servais. The 28-year-old slugger was held out of the lineup on Sunday due to a wrist issue. Luckily, the MRI results came back clean, so this isn't something that is going to force France to miss […]

George Kittle Participating In Training Camp

The 49ers superstar tight end George Kittle (lower-body) was back on the field practicing, seemingly past the injury concerns he was experiencing earlier in the offseason. Kittle was catching passes from sophomore Trey Lance, in an effort to build chemistry while they prepare to make another playoff run with super bowl aspirations. Kittle was dominant […]

Mitch Haniger Could Return Soon

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (ankle) could return as early as Friday, according to general manager Jerry Dipoto. He has been sidelined since April 29 due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain. The 31-year-old has been on a rehab assignment since last Friday, so hopefully he'll continue making progress. His return should be a significant […]
