Cincinnati Reds right-hander Mychal Givens threw a scoreless ninth inning in a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Givens struck out two and allowed one hit on the way to earning a save.

Kyle Larson Starts from Pole at Richmond

Kyle Larson nearly pulled off one of the craziest moves of the year last week at Darlington. He narrowly missed out on a win by less than a 1/4 of a second. This week, he gets the pole at Richmond. The Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver has won here before in 2017. He has finished 1st, […]

Denny Hamlin in Driver's Seat for Richmond

Nathaniel Lowe Has Two RBI Game

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a nice piece for this offense down the stretch. On Friday, Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-RBI double and two walks in the 10-5 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers didn't have much of a chance after the A's put up six runs in the second […]

Glenn Otto Rocked By Athletics

Elijah Moore Should Produce WR3 Value

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore will be making his NFL debut in Week 1 versus the Carolina Panthers. The second round pick from this year's draft should see plenty of targets this season. He could get involved right away with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) questionable for Week 1. The […]

Corey Davis Has Solid Upside For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will likely end up with the most fantasy value out of anyone on this roster this season. Davis is coming off a season where he produced 65 receptions, 984 yards, and five touchdowns. Now, he'll be the main focus with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) […]

Michael Carter Worth Stashing, Not Starting Versus Panthers

New York Jets running back Michael Carter will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the lead back, while Ty Johnson figures to do most of the receiving work. It'll be interesting […]

Ty Johnson Not Trustworthy For Week 1

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson appears to be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the starter, while Johnson and Michael Carter should get involved as well. Johnson finished with 254 yards on the ground and 99 yards through the air in limited action last […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Tevin Coleman Named Lead Back For Opener

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was recently named the lead back for their matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee with Ty Johnson and rookie Michael Carter. None of these backs were able to separate themselves during the preseason. It's likely going to […]

Keelan Cole Banged Up For Opener

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for their Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are already going to be without veteran wideout Jamison Crowder due to COVID-19. Now, Cole will need to have his status monitored up to kickoff. Right now, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore […]

Jonnu Smith Has Tough Matchup In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith will not have an easy challenge to open the season. He'll get the Miami Dolphins defense that allowed seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Smith is coming off career highs with 448 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Although, he should be viewed as a high-end […]

Hunter Henry A TE2 For Week 1

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry will not open the season with a favorable matchup. He gets a Miami Dolphins defense that allowed the seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Henry finished with 60 receptions, 613 yards, and four touchdowns in 2020. He is a capable option at tight end, but […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Not An Ideal Option For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will be making his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He was a fourth round pick of New England during this year's draft. Stevenson was impressive in camp and likely earned himself a legitimate role in the backfield this season. However, he'll draw a tough […]

Kendrick Bourne A Sneaky PPR Choice

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne could find himself with intriguing value heading into Week 1. The Patriots could be without starting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (shoulder) for their matchup with the Miami Dolphins. That means, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne should be asked to pick up the slack. Last season, Bourne finished with […]
