James Wiseman Joins G-League Affiliate

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has joined the organization's G-League affiliate on Friday. This is one of the last steps Wiseman needs to take before rejoining the Warriors. It doesn't appear that Wiseman is far away from returning to Golden State. That being said, fantasy managers should consider scooping him up off the […]

Alex Bregman: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Bust?

The Houston Astros finished the 2021 season with a record 95-67, which was good enough to walk away with the AL West division crown. They also steamrolled through the American League playoffs and into the World Series where they eventually met their demise against the Atlanta Braves. The season was seen as a success by […]

Derrick Rose Remains Without A Timetable

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) will have a minor procedure and remains without a timetable to return. It's a shame because Rose seemed so close to getting back on the court. Now, the veteran guard is likely to miss at least a few more weeks. Alec Burks should remain the starting point guard, […]

2022 Keeper Value Rankings - Second Base

Many years ago, I noticed the managers in my long-time keeper league were consistently making terrible keeper decisions year after year. Instead of taking their money every year, I thought I would help them out and find a good set of Keeper League Rankings to share with them. What I found was quite disturbing. There […]

Buying Back in on Alec Bohm

Let's start with a cliché because those are always fun. We've heard over and over again that "prospect growth is not linear." Well, there might not be a better example of that in the current MLB landscape than Bohm, who was drafted third overall in 2018 and quickly moved through the minor leagues, hitting .291 […]

Dawson Knox Could Have Even Better Year In 2022

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was the team's breakout player last season after being taken in the third round in 2019. He became almost an every-snap player and became quarterback Josh Allen's go-to-option in the red zone. Knox and Allen combined for 11 touchdowns in 17 regular season games. Knox had more routes run, […]

Jaylen Waddle Compared To Tyreek Hill

New Miami Dolphins wide receivers coach Wes Welker compared wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to Chiefs All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill. "I think it's acceleration," Welker said. "Especially like when he gets a ball in my hand. We've got the ball in his hands, it's kind of Tyreek Hill-ish, how he's just able to get that ball […]

DK Metcalf A Trade Candidate?

The only realistic trade option the Seattle Seahawks have this offseason is wide receiver DK Metcalf, whose contract expires after the 2022 season. Metcalf ranks fifth in receiving touchdowns (29), 10th in receiving yards (3,170) and 17th in catches (216) since entering the league in 2019 as a second-round pick, and he doesn't turn 25 […]

Rashaad Penny Could Be Backup If He Re-Signs With Seattle

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent running back Rashaad Penny, who led the league with 672 yards and six touchdowns in the final five games of the regular season, will be a hot commodity on the open market this offseason. If he returns to Seattle, the Seahawks would likely structure a deal that accounts for a smaller […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/25/22)

Last night the NBA returned from a week-long break and whet our appetites for basketball action. Tonight, we get nine more games and our first glimpse at the James Harden era in Philly and the Malcolm Brogdon-Tyrese Haliburton experiment in Indiana. The only really big surprise last night was my beloved Cavaliers faltering against Detroit […]

Packers Not Ready To Move On From Mason Crosby?

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst didn't sound ready to move on from veteran kicker Mason Crosby during his press conference this week. Crosby has a 2022 salary cap number around $4.7 million, and the Packers would free up around $2.4 million by cutting him. He hasn't missed a game since the team drafted […]

Za'Darius Smith A Release Candidate

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith, who was a second-team All-Pro in 2020, is a candidate to be released this offseason. Such a move would free up around $15.3 million in salary cap space. Smith played in just two games in 2021 due to a back injury, and his teammates didn't vote him as […]

Packers Don't Want To Use Franchise Tag On Davante Adams

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said the team doesn't want to use the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver Davante Adams this offseason. The team has until March 8 to do so, but the last time they used the tag was in 2010 on nose tackle Ryan Pickett. Gutekunst left open the […]

Bucs Would Prefer Long-Term Deal With Chris Godwin

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would ideally prefer reaching a long-term deal with impending free-agent wide receiver Chris Godwin rather than using the franchise tag on him. A long-term deal will be complicated due to Godwin's ACL injury, but it would allow them to use the franchise tag on another free agent like cornerback Carlton Davis. […]

Panthers Re-Sign Ian Thomas For Three Years

The Carolina Panthers agreed to re-sign tight end Ian Thomas to a three-year contract worth $16.5 million on Friday, according to a source. He'll receive $6.435 million in the first year and $8 million fully guaranteed. Thomas has 38 total receptions in the last two seasons but is one of the better blocking tight ends […]

Cardinals, Kyler Murray On The Same Page

The drama between the Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Kyler Murray has subsided following Instagram cleanses and reports of Murray's immaturity. NFL Network's Jane Slater reported that "everything is copacetic" between the Cardinals and Murray, and the two sides are now working to either exercise his fifth-year team option or agree to a long-term deal. Any […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/25/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Basketball was gone for too long and yesterday’s games featured all inter-conference matchups in some quality, semi-competitive basketball. Nearly every game was close for the first half, but the healthier, better equipped team won in nearly every case and three conference powerhouses, the Warriors, Suns, and Celtics, all dominated when it mattered, late in their […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 27: English Premier League

Matchweek 26 started so brightly, but soon faded into darkness. After underdogs Newcastle United drew at West Ham United to kick the weekend off (as we backed), we were sat on a nice early profit. Unfortunately, Everton failed to show any fight against Southampton and Aston Villa were stunned at home against lowly Watford, leaving […]

Austin Wells Could See Time At Other Positions

New York Yankees catching prospect Austin Wells could see time at other positions moving forward, according to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News. The Yankees selected Wells in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft and he has shown a ton of promise early in his career. The young catcher has shown […]

Jared McCann Placed On Injured Reserve By Kraken

The Seattle Kraken made a surprise move on Wednesday and placed top-scoring forward Jared McCann on the injured list with an upper-body issue. Acquired during the expansion draft last summer, the forward leads the club in goals (21) and points (33) through 48 games. McCann, 25, could be a long-term option for the club and […]

Gary Payton II Will Start On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (leg) will remain in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was listed as a game-time decision coming into this contest, but it sounds like Payton is fine. Fantasy managers should expect Payton to have his normal role in the rotation. Otto Porter […]

Kraken Exploring Trade Options for Mark Giordano

The expansion Seattle Kraken club is going nowhere fast in the standings and the organization is considering moving its captain in the right deal. Defenseman Mark Giordano has been a solid player for the club in 2021-22, but at the age of 38, he's not in the organization's long-term plans. So far this season, he's […]

Ja Morant Exits Early On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He appears to have suffered a hamstring issue and is being stretched out on the bench. It's uncertain if he'll return to action, but the Grizzlies are likely to take the cautious approach here. Tyus Jones and […]

Richaun Holmes Will Sit Out On Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holmes has lost a ton of value with Domantas Sabonis joining the Kings roster. In fact, Holmes only played 10 minutes in their last game before the All-Star break. That being said, there isn't a ton of minutes […]

Joshua Primo Listed As Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Primo is one of the many young guards on this roster that should have increased opportunities in the second half. However, his absence would mean more playing time for Lonnie Walker IV and Josh Richardson. Neither of […]
