BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: Chicago’s top tight end finally broke out of Jimmy Graham’s shadow and more than doubled his reception, receiving yards, and target totals in his sophomore season.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec went 1-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base, a run scored and a strikeout in a 6-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. It was nice to see from Dalbec, who hasn't been very successful at the plate of late. The 27-year-old should see much […]
