Ryan Palmer A Good Option At Honda Classic

Despite missing back-to-back cuts to end the west-coast swing, Ryan Palmer remains a viable option this week at The Honda Classic. The Texan has gained strokes off the tee in six straight events and has gained strokes on approach in four of his last five. The veteran has had a good track record at this […]

Chiefs Release Anthony Hitchens

The Kansas City Chiefs released linebacker Anthony Hitchens on Tuesday. Hitchens finished the 2021 regular season with 80 tackles (41 solo), four tackles for loss, one interception and two passes defensed in 15 games in his fourth season in Kansas City. In his four seasons with the Chiefs, the 29-year-old recorded 217 solo tackles, 17 […]

Brendan Beck Recovering From Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery last summer, is expected to make a full recovery, according to sources. Beck, the team's second-round pick in 2021, was injured while ramping up to pitch for Low-A Tampa at the end of last year after throwing 108 2/3 innings for Stanford […]

Dwight Smith Jr. Signs With White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have signed free-agent outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. to a minor league deal. Smith was a first-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays back in 2011, and he made his major league debut in 2017 with Toronto. He looked good in his first two big-league seasons, prompting the Baltimore Orioles to trade […]

Hyun Jin Ryu Cleared From COVID-19

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu tested negative for COVID-19 and will rejoin the Hanwha Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization on Wednesday. Ryu is scheduled to work out with the Eagles until Major League Baseball's lockout is over. The 34-year-old left-hander wasn't nearly as good in 2021 as he was in his […]

Rickie Fowler Hard To Trust This Week

Rickie Fowler finished 55th last week at the Genesis Invitational, his first made cut in four events so far this year. The 33-year-old has now gained strokes on approach in three consecutive events and strokes around the green in two straight tournaments. His putting woes unfortunately have continued for the fan favorite, who lost 2.9 […]

Freddie Freeman Not Expected To Return To Braves?

There is a growing belief that first baseman Freddie Freeman will land somewhere other than the Atlanta Braves because of the standoff in his negotiations with the team. The presumption among many rival executives last year was that Freeman and the Braves would eventually work out a deal, but Freeman wasn't among the stars that […]

Packers, Davante Adams Haven't Discussed Extension

There have been no discussions between the Green Bay Packers and impending free-agent wide receiver Davante Adams on a long-term contract extension since the season ended, according to a source. The Packers have until March 8 to decide whether to place the franchise tag on Adams, which would buy them more time to get an […]

Mitchell Trubisky Eyeing Starting Job In Free Agency

Buffalo Bills impending free-agent quarterback Mitchell Trubisky spent the 2021 season as the backup to Josh Allen, but he could be ready to battle for a starting job somewhere else in 2022. "I'm in a confident space right now," Trubisky said. The former No. 2 overall pick of the Chicago Bears spent four seasons in […]

Greyson Sigg Has Decent DFS Value At Honda Classic

The only question with Greyson Sigg seems to be whether he can put four contending rounds together. He can get to two or three usually but that fourth seems elusive. That was the case at Pebble Beach where the third round started to go sideways. Sigg held on for a 70 but then the final […]

Dolphins May Try To Retain Mike Gesicki

Miami Dolphins impending free-agent tight end Mike Gesicki set career-highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (780) and was the team's second leading receiver in 2021 behind only rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Miami will have plenty of salary cap space and could look to put as many offensive weapons around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as […]

Aaron Wise's Rough 2022 Could Continue At Honda Classic

Aaron Wise has had a tough time of it the past three tournaments. Even at The Genesis Invitational, the American shot all four rounds in the 70's with a 71-73 weekend. That put him outside the top 60 (tied for 67th). After missing two cuts, at least Wise did see the final two rounds. That […]

Marcus Williams Could Get The Tag For Second Straight Year

New Orleans Saints free safety Marcus Williams is a candidate to receive the franchise tag for the second straight season with the Saints in rough salary cap shape in 2022. Williams played well on the tag in 2021 and is an important part of the team's secondary. Left tackle Terron Armstead is not a candidate […]

Dalton Schultz A Candidate For The Franchise Tag

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is coming off of a breakout season in 2021 in which he caught 78 passes for 808 yards and eight touchdowns. The Cowboys have a tough salary cap situation and a bunch of free agents to address. Dallas probably will not be able to pay the former fourth-rounder his […]

Panthers Unlikely To Trade For Kirk Cousins?

On the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he doesn't think there's any truth to the rumors that the Carolina Panthers are trying to trade for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. The Panthers are likely to call and gauge interest on most QBs this offseason, but Cousins remains under contract in […]

Chris Kirk May Have Value In Florida This Week

Chris Kirk bounced back solidly at the WM Phoenix Open with a top-15 result. He heads into the Honda Classic in Florida with a renewed sense of confidence. There are some red flags. In 2022, he has two cuts sandwiched in the middle of two solid finishes. The sample size is small but Kirk's all […]

Charles Howell III A Question Mark At Honda Classic

Maybe there are too many expectations on Charles Howell III. He missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open as that opening round 75 did him no favors. Howell III did not play poorly at the American Express or the Sony Open. At the American Express, not enough putts dropped for him on the back […]

Cameron Tringale's Roller Coaster Season To Continue?

Which Cameron Tringale are we going to get at the Honda Classic this weekend? Will we see his top-20 form or will he miss the cut entirely? It's a great question without a clear answer. Since the Zozo Championship, he has alternated top-13 results with missing the cut. He's finished second, seventh, third and 13th, […]

Taylor Pendrith Heading To Honda Classic Soul Searching

Taylor Pendrith, like some other golfers, has struggled a good deal in 2022. The Canadian golfer hits the ball a long way, but the accuracy on his drives is less than desirable. He ranks 169th on tour so far with  a 54.51% success rate hitting the fairway. Even his overall strokes gained is at minus-0.146. […]

Patrick Reed Slumping Heading Into Honda Classic

Patrick Reed has not had the greatest time of it this year. That was punctuated by missing the cut at the Genesis last week behind an opening round 77. It feels like Reed has gotten progressively worse over the first four tournaments of 2022. His shot-making has gone by the wayside, his drives are more […]

Buccaneers Could Consider Tagging Carlton Davis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis missed seven games in 2021 due to a quadriceps injury, but he still had 11 passes defensed to bring his four-year total to 52. Tampa is in a transition period after quarterback Tom Brady's retirement, and they'll have to decide which starters to keep heading into free agency next […]

Franchise Tag A Possibility For Orlando Brown

The Kansas City Chiefs traded a first-round pick, among other selections, for impending free-agent left tackle Orlando Brown, and the Chiefs are highly unlikely to allow him to be a one-season rental as part of an overhauled offensive line to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes. As such, Brown is expected to return as the team's starting […]

Patriots Can't Afford To Lose J.C. Jackson

New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson leads the league with 25 interceptions since 2018, and he also led the NFL with 23 passes defensed in 2021. He wasn't great in the wild-card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, but Jackson will have a big market if he reaches free agency next month. The Patriots would […]

Danny Willet Hoping To Find Form At Honda Classic

Danny Willet returns to the Honda Classic for the second time. His only other start at this event was in 2017. Willet missed the cut that week and lost strokes off the tee and from tee-to-green. Willet also arrives in Florida in poor form. His last start on tour came at The Houston Open, where […]

Billy Horschel Riding Hot Ahead Of Honda Classic

Billy Horschel arrives in Florida off two straight top-15 finishes. In his last start, Horschel gained 5.8 strokes from tee-to-green and 4.1 strokes off the tee. Horschel's putter has been noticeably hot to start the year. He has gained over five strokes putting in his last two starts. Horschel also has good course history at […]

Harold Landry Could Receive The Franchise Tag

Tennessee Titans impending free-agent outside linebacker Harold Landry is coming off a career-high 12-sack season in 2021, and he'll be in high demand if he reaches free agency. A long-term deal for Landry may be more difficult after the massive deal that pass-rusher Bud Dupree got last year, combined with the fact that the Titans […]

Jessie Bates Should Be A Priority For Bengals

Locking up impending free-agent free safety Jessie Bates should be a priority for the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason, just behind rebuilding their offensive line. Bates is third among all safeties with 406 tackles since 2018. He didn't have an excellent regular season in 2021, but Bates led all players with six passes defensed and earned […]

Gary Woodland Looks To Rebound At The Honda Classic

Gary Woodland missed the cut in his last start at The Phoenix Open. In Phoenix, Woodland lost strokes on approach, off the tee, and from tee-to-green. Woodland has had a tough go of it lately. He has only made one cut in his last five starts. The U.S. Open champion has not won on tour […]
