Alexander Volkanovski Likely To Pay Off Big Price Tag

Alexander Volkanovski is the most expensive fighter on the slate next weekend, costing $9,500 on DraftKings. At this price, Volkanovski has the value to pay off his salary and then some, as long as he is ruled the winner at the end of the fight, and he has minus-720 odds to do that on the […]

A.J. Puk To Open Season In Bullpen

The Oakland Athletics plan to use left-hander A.J. Puk out of the bullpen to open the regular season. Puk was expected to compete for a spot in the back end of the A's starting rotation this spring, but with the team holding onto Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea for now, Puk will instead open in […]

Utah Jazz forwards Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Danuel House Jr. (knee) will both be active for Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano (ankle) has what manager Charlie Montoyo describes as a mild left ankle sprain, although the Blue Jays expect him to be ready for Opening Day next week.

Larry Foote, Kacy Rodgers To Split Defensive Coordinator Duties

With Todd Bowles becoming the Tampa Bay Buccaneers new head coach, the expectation is that inside linebackers coach Larry Foote and defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers will split the defensive coordinator duties in 2022.

Panthers Could Take Quarterback At No. 6 Overall

Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer hinted that the team could take a quarterback with the No. 6 overall pick in next month's draft.

Antonio Brown Putting Off Surgery

Free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) said he hasn't had ankle surgery yet and doesn't plan to unless a team commits to signing him.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have the usual modestly-sized slate on tap Thursday night, as there are just five games on the ledger.

The player pool […]

Giants Trying To Unlock Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay was a massive bust last year in his first season as the team's No. 1 receiver, as he had just 521 yards and no touchdowns.

Running Back Stat Busts: Elusiveness Rating - Ezekiel Elliott, Cordarrelle Patterson and More

A lot of elements go into making a running back desirable for fantasy football. Opportunity, a good offensive line, and a good offense are all key elements. However, something equally important is how elusive those running backs are, this includes breaking tackles and gaining yards after contact. Often, players who have these traits fall into […]

Eric Samulski's Top 100 Starting Pitchers

I decided to publish a top-100 starting pitching rankings list! I have no idea why, though. These fantasy baseball rankings lists are often the most scrutinized and criticized of anything anybody publishes, so I'm not sure why I decided to open myself up to this. However, I've also been researching pitching all offseason and constantly […]
