Jon Rahm Lacking Upside Relative To Ownership

Jon Rahm enters the week with the sixth-worst long-term proximity numbers from 100-150 yards, where a player with his length on this golf course will find himself the majority of the time. He is currently projected as one of the highest-owned players in DFS, with others around him who are relatively less-owned offering much more […]

Jo Adell Still Sidelined Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.

With an off day […]

Xander Bogaerts In Wednesday's Lineup

Adley Rutschman Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman isn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday.

Dennis Allen Impressed By Michael Thomas

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen had good things to say about wide receiver Michael Thomas on Wednesday.

[…]

Ross Stripling Reinstated From Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays reinstated right-handed pitcher Ross Stripling (hip) from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday.

George Springer Not Starting Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer isn't in the team's starting lineup for a matchup with the Baltimore Orioles and right-handed pitcher Austin Voth on Wednesday.

CeeDee Lamb Missing Practice With Foot Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (foot) isn't practicing on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Chargers due to a foot injury, but he's walking around without a protective boot.

Aaron Wise Waiting On Broomstick To Return

Aaron Wise has been striking the ball tremendously and this week's success will hinge on his putter. Wise has been losing on the greens for the last two months, but prior to that he gained a third of a stroke putting in the three months leading up to the U.S. Open. His putting on all […]

Broncos Want Javonte Williams To Be "The Guy?"

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III said that the coaching staff wants Javonte Williams "to be the guy" after he received the first snaps at training camp practice on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old appeared in 106 games for the A's this season, hitting .237 with a .301 on-base percentage, eight home runs, and seven stolen bases in 386 plate appearances.

Aaron Jones, A.J. Dillon Could See More Targets

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers estimated that it's realistic to think both running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon could surpass 50 receptions in 2022. Jones has had 49, 47 and 52 catches the last three seasons in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense, while Dillon had 34 in 2021. "We have runs to both […]

Treylon Burks Leaves Practice Early Wednesday

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks left Wednesday's training camp practice early due to undisclosed reasons.

Harold Varner III Struggling Entering BMW Championship

Last week was not the start Harold Varner III was looking for to begin his FedEx Cup playoffs. He missed the cut for the second consecutive week and lost strokes in almost every major category.

Joaquin Niemann A Solid Option

Joaquin Niemann enters the second FedEx Cup playoff event playing some very good golf. He finished 13th last week at the FedEx St. Jude, his second top-20 finish in the past three weeks. Niemann has been very dialed in with his irons lately, gaining 5.8 strokes on approach last week alone. With Niemann, the only […]

Hideki Matsuyama A Major Wild Card

At this point, there is no way to figure out what is going on with Hideki Matsuyama. He withdrew before the start of the FedEx St. Jude last week, citing a neck injury. He has constantly been pulling out of events with injuries, and when he has played, it has not been great. In his […]

Xander Schauffele Looking To Bounce Back

It was a rare bad week for Xander Schauffele last week at the FedEx St. Jude. He made the cut but was not in his typical form, finishing 57th while posting minus-2.4 strokes from tee to green.
