Corey Kluber Allows Five Runs In Return

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber struggled in his return to the rotation Monday against the Angels. Kluber pitched just four innings, surrendering five runs on five hits while walking a pair of batters. On the plus side, the veteran right-hander did strike out six batters and generated a strong 34 percent CSW. Kluber […]

Trey Lance (QB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~137 ANALYSIS: The San Fransisco 49ers gave up a ton of assets to move up to the third pick in the 2021 draft to select quarterback Trey Lance out of North Dakota State. There will be competition for the starting job between Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, but it seems that the […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: When the Seattle Seahawks drafted running back Rashaad Penny in the first round of the 2018 draft, there were high expectations for the former San Diego State standout. Significant injuries and the emergence of Chris Carson led Penny to start off his career in a very underwhelming fashion. […]

David Johnson (RB, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Not only did the Texans lose their starting QB with Deshaun Watson--not confirmed, but most probably--missing the whole 2021 season and probably getting traded, but they doubled down on that misery by signing two RBs to build a three-headed-monster backfield. To David Johnson, they added Phillip Lindsay and Mark Ingram […]

Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: Bills Beat Writer for The Athletic, Joe Buscaglia, believes that "if he continues to improve, [Zack Moss] could be a 60 to 70 percent snap player in 2021." He only eclipsed a 60% snap share twice his rookie season, but that's likely a result of a […]

Kenyan Drake (RB, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas has a promising tailback in Josh Jacobs. In both his freshman and sophomore seasons, Jacobs was able to finish at least as the RB21 and that happened in his first year as a pro. Last time out, though, Jacobs excelled to greater levels and put […]

David Sills V Released By The Giants

The New York Giants released wide receiver David Sills V on Tuesday. The 25-year-old had a strong preseason overall, catching seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown over three games. Sills faced long odds making the Giants roster with a deep wide receiver corps that included Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney, […]

James Conner (RB, ARI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~93 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Conner leaves Pittsburgh after spending the past four seasons there and coming virtually out of nowhere to turn into a fantastic tailback for the Steelers in years past. While he has not been the healthiest of players out there (he has missed 14 games in his […]

Antonio Brown (WR, TB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: After joining Tampa Bay in 2020, Antonio Brown posted a 45-483-4 line over eight games. Doubling that puts his 2021 numbers at 90-966-8, plenty respectable for a fantasy 10th-rounder. OK, perhaps this simplistic projection shows why I never got past Algebra II in high school. Extrapolations […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~144 ANALYSIS: Even with the addition of Emmanuel Sanders and with Gabriel Davis seemingly taking on a heavier role, PFF still projects Beasley to rack up the second-most PPR points in Buffalo, only behind Stefon Diggs with a 198+ FP projection. He hasn't had an ADP above 145 dating back to his debut all the […]

Cooper Rush Wins The Cowboys Backup Job

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has won the Cowboys backup job. The team released both Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci on Tuesday, leaving Rush as the only quarterback on the roster behind starter Dak Prescott. Prescott is coming off a severe ankle injury and dealt with shoulder issues throughout camp and the preseason, so the […]

Washington Releases Jonathan Williams

The Washington Football Team has released running back Jonathan Williams. The 27-year-old had just one carry for five yards in Detroit last year, and in 2019 he finished with 49 carries for 235 yards and one touchdown in Indianapolis. It is not shocking that Williams was cut, with much of the reasoning being the emergence […]

Nick Solak Goes Deep Off Rockies

Texas Rangers infielder Nick Solak has put together a nice stretch since returning to the team a few weeks ago. On Monday, he went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run to help secure the 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. It was his 11th of the season and Solak has been a nice source of […]

Garrett Gilbert Released By The Cowboys

Quarterback Garrett Gilbert was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. Second-year signal caller Ben DiNucci was let go as well. Gilbert looked set to open the season as Dak Prescott's backup, but the Cowboys have apparently decided to go with Cooper Rush in that role instead. Gilbert was decent as a fill-in quarterback last […]

Leody Taveras Hits First Homer Of The Season

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras was horrendous at the plate heading into Monday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. In fact, Taveras was 4-for-65 at the plate, but finally come through on Monday. He went 2-for-3 with a home run and double in the 4-3 victory. The Rangers are likely going to give Taveras plenty of […]

Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~142 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: The Jets' highly-touted second-round pick out of Ole Miss has impressed in camp and has seemingly vaulted Denzel Mims and potentially even Keelan Cole on the depth chart. He's working with the first-team offense now; Jets beat writers are all worked up, and head coach Robert Saleh […]

Washington Cuts Antonio Gandy-Golden

The Washington Football Team has cut wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 2020 fourth-round pick had a solid camp, but a loaded wide receiver room in Washington was ultimately the deciding factor in his departure. The 23-year-old should be able to find an opportunity to play elsewhere, as his 6-foot-4 […]

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~129 ANALYSIS: Henry Ruggs III is ready to take on a bigger role in his sophomore year, and the Raiders will need him to do exactly that. Nelson Agholor's departure leaves 82 vacated targets in the Las Vegas offense, and now he only has Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow, John Brown as his […]

Joe Barlow Records Third Save Of The Season

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) returned on Monday and was thrown right into action versus the Colorado Rockies. He through one scoreless inning in the ninth to shut the door and secure the 4-3 victory. It was his third save of the season and Barlow is showing no reason to not trust him. […]

Eric Ebron (TE, PIT) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~194 ANALYSIS: A TE1 getting off draft boards at a TE3 price? I'll take two! That's Eric Ebron for you, folks, and that also is a nonsensical thing taking place in the summer of the 2021 year of our Lord. Simply put - Ebron's price is way down […]

A.J. Alexy Makes Easy Work Of Rockies

Texas Rangers starting pitcher A.J. Alexy made his MLB debut against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. He went five scoreless innings, one hit allowed, three walks, and four strikeouts in the 4-3 victory. The 23-year-old looked solid here, but take it with a grain of salt because it's the Rockies lineup outside of Denver. Fantasy […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~184 ANALYSIS: Last year was Shepard's best in terms of efficiency with a 9.94 YPR mark to go with a career-high 73.3% Catch Rate while putting up a 90/66/656/3 receiving yard line to go with 49 yards and a single touchdown on the ground to put the […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker gets a bad rap. His career has been quite tumultuous with injuries and underperformances but he finally showed life in 2019 with a high-end WR2 season, averaging 15.4 PPG and finishing as the WR11 overall! Parker displayed his upside in this season and then […]

Trey Sermon (RB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: The best case for Sermon boils down to one name: Jeff Wilson Jr. He was an undrafted free agent out of North Texas who rarely played his first two seasons. Once the Niners were thin at running back late in the season, they threw Wilson out there and […]

Lewis Brinson Could Possibly Return Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson (thumb) has a chance at playing during Tuesday's doubleheader against the New York Mets, according to manager Don Mattingly. He has been sidelined since last Thursday due to a left thumb injury. Before going down, Brinson was in the middle of a 2-for-34 at the plate. The once prized-prospect has […]

Odubel Herrera Reaches Three Times In Win Over Nats

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored to help beat the Nationals on Monday night. Herrera is easily posting his best month of the season as he's batting .333 with 13 runs and 13 RBI across 24 games in August thus far. He's been productive atop the Philly […]

Bryan Edwards (WR, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: Is he a Dragon Ball Z fused concoction of Terrell Owens and Randy Moss? No. However, Bryan Edwards is talented and the training camp hype going his way is somewhat legitimate. Edwards is constantly propped up by his extremely early (17.8 years old) breakout age (a […]

Washington Releases Peyton Barber

The Washington Football Team has released running back Peyton Barber as the deadline to cut to a 53-man roster on Tuesday approaches. Barber was outperformed by rookie running back Jaret Patterson in the preseason and during camp, which is the main reason Washington decided to move on from him. The 27-year-old carried the ball 94 […]
