Kyle Schwarber Declines Option, Hits Free Agency

Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Kyle Schwarber declined his mutual option Friday, making him a free agent. The deal would have paid him $11.5 million dollars in 2022, but instead he will opt for a $3 million dollar buyout and a chance to hit the open market. Schwarber appeared in 113 games in 2021, slashing […]

Jets Think Mike White Can Practice Next Week

Saquon Barkley Expected To Miss Week 9

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle), recently activated off the Reserve/COVID-19 list, is not expected to be ruled out this week against the Raiders later on Friday.

Kirk Cousins - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Fantasy managers who started Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had to be expecting more when they plugged him into their lineups against a Dallas Cowboys defense ranked 26th against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. While he didn't play poorly, the conservative play calling and continued check-downs and short-passing game led to a season-low 5.26 yards per attempt […]

Brayden Schenn Sustains An Upper-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn had his night cut short by an upper-body injury in Thursday's 5-3 win at San Jose. He took only 10 shifts before leaving. Blues head coach Craig Berube noted after the game that Schenn should be considered day-to-day. St. Louis will be back in action on Sunday against Anaheim. […]

Adrian Peterson Signed To Titans Active Roster

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran running back Adrian Peterson to their active roster on Friday. Peterson, 36, toted the rock 156 times for 604 yards and seven touchdowns last season for the Lions, and he has reportedly impressed the Titans in his short time on the practice squad. The Oklahoma product seems likely to […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Phoenix Lucas Oil 150 (11/5/21)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship race is here. Four drivers have a chance to win a title. Unfortunately for fantasy players, there's qualifying, so we won't know anything about place differential at publish time, which definitely is not great, but hey -- it'll make the real-life race more exciting. Here at RotoBaller, we […]

Brent Burns Enjoys Multi-Point Night Against St. Louis

San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns scored a power-play goal and recorded an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis. He started the scoring in the game and delivered an assist for Nick Merkley's first goal of the campaign. Burns shared the team high with four shots in the contest and registered one block […]

Gabriel Davis - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis could see a higher usage against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The Bills could possibly be without wideout Cole Beasley (ribs) who sat out of Thursday's practice. His absence would likely mean Davis is more involved in the offense. Last week, Davis hauled in four of his five […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Has Chance To Play Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) has a chance to be activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of this week's game against the Cardinals. Wilson has yet to play this season as he recovers from surgery to repair a torn meniscus, but he is reportedly in tremendous shape, per […]

Brandon Saad Scores Pair Of Goals In Thursday's Win

St. Louis Blues winger Brandon Saad scored twice as the team beat San Jose 5-3 on Thursday. He notched a short-handed goal in the opening period and added an even-strength tally in the second frame. Saad scored with his only efforts in the game and was plus-one for the contest in 15:38 of ice time. […]

Tommy Sweeney - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills tight end Tommy Sweeney will get at least one more start with Dawson Knox (hand) sidelined for the Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Last week, Sweeney hauled in three of his four targets for 30 yards in the win. He is getting involved, but not at the same level that Knox […]

Joel Hofer Has Winning Start To His Career

St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer made a winning start to his NHL career on Thursday, saving 23 of 26 shots against San Jose in a 5-3 triumph. At 21 years and 97 days old, Hofer is now the youngest ever goalie in franchise history to pick up a win on his debut. He allowed […]

Dawson Knox Ruled Out For Week 9

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hand) has been officially ruled out for the Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is still recovering from a broken hand which will now force him to miss at least two games. His absence leaves Tommy Sweeney as the starting tight end in Buffalo. Sweeney will have […]

Quarterbacks - Rest of Season Rankings for Fantasy Football

In a typical year, quarterback rankings aren't too important once we approach the midpoint of the season. As you know, this year has been anything but typical and that especially applies to the football world. Just this past week, several quarterbacks have suffered serious injuries and some big-name players will need to be replaced. Fantasy […]

DeVante Parker Suffers Setback, To Be Listed As Doubtful

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) suffered a setback and is now doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans. Parker has been a mainstay on the injury report all year with shoulder and hamstring injuries but could miss the Week 9 contest after just making his return to the field last week. The […]

Emmanuel Sanders Likely To Rebound In Week 9

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is coming off his worst game of the season. The veteran wideout finished with zero receptions on four targets in the win over the Miami Dolphins last week. However, he'll have a great chance of bouncing back during the Week 9 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. A defense that […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Released By Browns

The Cleveland Browns are releasing star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after the two sides came together on a resolution Friday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Beckham's time in Cleveland comes to a messy end after some social media drama involving his father, who commented on the star wideout's perceived lack of usage in […]

Rasmus Asplund Stretches Point Streak To Five Games

Buffalo Sabres forward Rasmus Asplund took his point streak to five games with an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss in Seattle. He combined with Rasmus Dahlin to help Tage Thompson on the scoreboard. Asplund has quietly been one of the hottest forwards in the league since the second week of the season, going pointless just […]

Stefon Diggs - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has seen double-digit targets in four of his seven games this season. Fantasy managers aren't getting the same ridiculous production out of Diggs like they did last season. However, he has remained reliable and has a fantastic matchup coming up against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a defense that ranks last […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

What a lame NFL Trade Deadline. Fantasy managers everywhere were likely hoping for an Evan Engram trade or maybe an Eric Ebron trade. Both would have had monster fantasy implications. Sadly, the NFL Trade Deadline is just about one of the biggest sporting events that always disappoints. With absolutely no movement anywhere, fantasy status quos […]

Zack Moss - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss has found a way to be successful despite splitting up the carries in the backfield. Sadly, the rushing numbers haven't been there lately, but Moss continues to hold PPR value. Last week, Moss hauled in six receptions and has become a reliable receiving option in the backfield. There should […]

Jaden Schwartz Continues Scoring Streak With Three Points

Seattle Kraken left wing Jaden Schwartz produced a nice three-point outing in Thursday's 5-2 win over Buffalo with a goal and two assists. He also registered a game-high plus-four rating and picked up two penalty minutes and one block. Schwartz now sits on a five-game point streak, which is his longest since going six straight […]

Trevor Siemian Expected To Start Sunday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian, who relieved Jameis Winston (knee) last week, is expected to start on Sunday against the Falcons. Even with Taysom Hill back healthy from a concussion, the Saints seem inclined to roll with Siemian under center, which speaks to their confidence in the former Bronco's ability to run the offense. […]

Jordan Eberle Scores Seattle's First Hat Trick

Seattle Kraken right wing Jordan Eberle scored the first hat trick in franchise history on Thursday, helping the team defeat Buffalo 5-2. He became the ninth player ever to score a natural hat trick for an expansion team in its inaugural season, starting off with the team down 2-1. Eberle fired off four shots in […]

Devin Singletary - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has been unable to find much success on the ground over the last few weeks. In fact, Singletary has 28 rushing yards or less in each of his last three games. Second-year back Zack Moss has looked much better and gets a majority of the scoring opportunities. That being […]

Josh Allen - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has really turned it around after a slow start to the season. Coming into Week 9, Allen has nearly 2,000 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions through seven games. Fantasy managers should be happy about that and his elite matchup in Week 9. He'll get a Jacksonville Jaguars […]
