Ryan Palmer Needs To Find His Putter

Ryan Palmer enters this week with two straight top-20 finishes to start the new year. Palmer has gained strokes off the tee, on approach and around the green in both events. The Texan was let down by his putter last week at the Farmers Insurance Open, which has been a bit of a trend for […]

Kevin Kisner A Strong Option This Week

Kevin Kisner has played twice so far in 2022, finishing T3 at the Sony Open and T8 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. The former Georgia Bulldog has gained 2.5 and 3.2 strokes on approach in his previous two starts, a statistic that should be very important this week. He has also gained at least […]

Jason Day A Favorite At Pebble Beach

Jason Day closed out last weekend with a T3 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open. The Aussie is rounding into form entering one of his favorite events of the PGA tour season. Day has finished inside the top 11 in his last seven starts at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The former world No. 1 […]

Making the Case for Dylan Bundy

Earlier this week, I started writing an article about my favorite late-round starting pitchers for draft-and-hold formats and found myself digging into Dylan Bundy. I wasn't really expecting to find much that would make me want to draft him anywhere, but I was intrigued enough by the projection systems giving him consistent innings in Minnesota […]

Jusuf Nurkic Likely To Play Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like there's a good chance Nurkic returns to his normal role here, which is great considering the Blazers are shorthanded. Trendon Watford and Greg Brown III would basically lose all their fantasy appeal, assuming […]

Hassan Whiteside Questionable For Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's a new addition to the injury report, which is not good news with Rudy Gobert (calf) already ruled out. Whiteside has been playing well in Gobert's absence and is a decent fantasy option, assuming he plays. Otherwise, […]

Deandre Ayton Returning Against Nets

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will make his return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Ayton and Jae Crowder (wrist) are returning here after missing multiple games. Bismack Biyombo will lose most of his streaming appeal with Ayton back in the starting five. It's uncertain if Ayton will be […]

Cade Cunningham Unlikely To Return On Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is considered doubtful to return for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a right hip pointer injury during the third quarter. He would eventually return to the bench, but it doesn't appear that he's going to check in again. Cory Joseph and Rodney McGruder would likely […]

Matt Jones Will Rely On Excellent Course History This Week

Matt Jones has played the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am every year since 2008, and he has five top-15 finishes at the course. His best finish was in 2020, where he finished in fifth place. Jones gained 10.7 strokes total in 2020 to lose to runaway winner Nick Taylor by 10 strokes. Jones comes to Pebble […]

De'Aaron Fox Uncertain For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last five games due to left ankle soreness. Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell have been picking up the slack in the absence of Fox. Haliburton should be rostered in most fantasy formats, […]

James Harden Officially Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hand) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He will return to the court here after a two-game absence. Hopefully, the right hand issue is behind him, so Harden's production won't be impacted by it. DeAndre' Bembry should head to the second unit with Cam […]

Doc Redman Sets His Sights On Pebble Beach

Doc Redman broke his streak of three straight missed cuts at The Farmers Insurance Open last week. Redman finished in 25th place in San Diego, gaining 3.8 strokes on approach. The 24-year-old American has struggled recently. He only had two top-10 finishes last year and 15 missed cuts. Pebble Beach may offer little respite for […]

Titans Want To Keep Harold Landry

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson said that the team wants to keep impending free-agent outside linebacker Harold Landry after he made great strides during his 12-sack season in 2021. "I think Harold wants to be (with us), not to speak for him," Robinson said. "We are going to do everything we can to try […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 16: Hassan Whiteside, Luke Kennard, Bismack Biyombo, Chuma Okeke

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Jonathan Huberdeau Named NHL's First Star Of The Month

Florida Panthers forward Jonathan Huberdeau has been named the NHL's first star for the month of January. The 28-year-old led the league with 25 points in 15 games to go along with seven multi-point performances. Huberdeau also managed to record at least one point in 13 of the 15 games played for the dominant offense […]

Juuse Saros Named NHL's Second Star Of The Month

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros has been named the NHL's second star for the month of January. Saros went 8-2-2 to go along with a 2.49 goals-against average and .934 save percentage to begin the new year. The 26-year-old allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his 12 starts. On the season, Saros has […]

Bryan Rust Named NHL's Third Star Of The Month

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust has been named the NHL's third star for the month of January. The 29-year-old totaled 10 goals, 11 assists and 21 points through 11 games, including a monster start to the New Year with seven goals and 11 points through his first three games to become the seventh player in […]

Nikola Jokic Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) has been cleared to play for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It doesn't sound like right toe soreness is going to be enough to stop the reigning MVP. Possibly, the Nuggets are a bit cautious with him if this game becomes a blowout. Zeke Nnaji or JaMychal Green […]

D'Angelo Russell Officially Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as doubtful earlier, so it's not shocking to see Russell sitting this one out. Luckily, Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been cleared to play, so he should shift back into the starting five. Jordan McLaughlin and […]

Patrick Beverley Cleared To Play

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a right ankle issue. Jordan McLaughlin or Malik Beasley will likely head to the bench with Beverley returning. However, […]

Brandon Ingram Available On Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a right ankle injury. His return should shift Garrett Temple to the bench and possibly mean less minutes for Herbert Jones. […]

Packers Fire Maurice Drayton Tuesday

The Green Bay Packers fired special teams coordinator Maurice Drayton on Tuesday, the second straight offseason that the Packers fired their special teams coordinator. Special teams blunders played a huge part in the team losing 13-10 to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round. The Packers special teams unit was a weakness all year, […]

Aaron Holiday Starting Against Bucks

Washington Wizards guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss multiple games, so Holiday could see a few games in the starting five. Holiday is averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 assists as a starter this season. He's not an elite […]

Ken Dorsey Named Bills Offensive Coordinator

The Buffalo Bills named quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator Ken Dorsey as their new offensive coordinator on Tuesday, replacing Brian Daboll, who was named the New York Giants head coach. It's great news for rising young quarterback Josh Allen, who has been working with Dorsey for the last three seasons. Before working with the Bills, […]

Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert Miss Tuesday's Practice

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and center Rudy Gobert (calf) were both unable to practice on Tuesday. Mitchell has missed each of the last seven games and doesn't have a return in sight. Joe Ingles (knee) was starting in his place, but suffered a torn ACL, so his season is over. Jared Butler could […]

Draymond Green Showing Improvement

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is showing improvement and should be re-evaluated before the All-Star break. Green has missed each of the last 12 games while dealing with a lower back issue. It sounds like Green could miss a few more weeks, but at least he's making progress towards a return. Otto Porter […]

Mekhi Becton, George Fant To Compete At Left Tackle

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that offensive tackles Mekhi Becton and George Fant will compete for the starting left tackle spot heading into the 2022 season. The Jets took Becton with the 11th overall pick in the 2020 draft, and the 22-year-old made 13 starts at left tackle in his rookie season. […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Expects His Future To Clear Up Soon

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo expects his future to clear up in the "days" ahead after speaking with general manager John Lynch on potential trade destinations on Monday. "I want to go to a place where they want to win," Garoppolo said. Interested teams may want to wait to see how surgery goes on […]

MLB, Players Union Disappointed After Tuesday's Meeting

Both sides of Major League Baseball's labor talks are disappointed after another meeting on Tuesday, with MLB now joining the players union in that regard. The Union offered a couple small changes -- lowering the bonus pool to $100 million from $105 million - but MLB remains at $10 million. The chances that spring training […]

Otto Porter Jr., Nemanja Bjelica Will Miss Tuesday’s Game

Golden State Warriors small/power forward Otto Porter Jr. (rest) and power forward/center Nemanja Bjelica (back) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. the Spurs. Golden State is set to be extremely shorthanded for the outing with Stephen Curry (toe), Klay Thompson (rest), Draymond Green (back), and others all ruled out. The loss of Porter […]
