Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell could be seeing plenty of action in this offensive unit. The third-round rookie can play both outside and slot roles, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. That being said, Bell could be a unique option for the Browns offense.

Identifying Last Year’s Hitting Outliers for Fantasy Baseball - Was It Just A Fluke?

I consider one of my greatest skills as a fantasy manager to be my ability to make the “unsexy pick.” When youngsters with tantalizing upside are gradually floating up the draft board, I typically stray away from the temptation and grab myself a more trusty, high-floor veteran to help keep my team afloat. As a […]

Tim Mayza To Begin Throwing Program This Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Tim Mayza (elbow) is set to begin playing catch either on Saturday or Sunday. The left-hander just received a negative MRI on his elbow.

Keaontay Ingram Could Be No. 2 Back

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram could ended up as the No. 2 option heading into next season.

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The All-Star infielder missed nearly a month of action due to a lower back injury.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Luis Gil To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on his elbow. The 23-year-old was removed from his last start on Wednesday due to an elbow issue.

Fantasy Football Running Back ADP Fallers: NFL Draft Aftermath

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with.
