Frederik Andersen Takes On Predators Saturday Night

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will go for his second win of the year on Saturday against Nashville. The former Maple Leaf kicked off his career in Raleigh with a 6-3 victory over the Islanders on Thursday. He gave up a pair of goals early on but was solid in general during a 25-save effort. […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy Faces Washington On Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will take on Washington on Saturday in his third start of the season. Things have started ugly for the Russian, as he's so far registered a 4.50 goals-against average and a .845 save percentage in two appearances. Tampa dropped the season opener 6-2 against Pittsburgh and barely snuck past […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Gets A Special Matchup On Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, looking for his first win of the season. The veteran netminder started life in Chi-Town with a 32-save performance in a 4-2 loss against Colorado on Wednesday. Fleury, who won three Stanley Cups as a member of the Penguins, takes on Pittsburgh for […]

Jaroslav Halak Makes His Canucks Debut

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jaroslav Halak is set for his team debut in Saturday's meeting with Detroit. The well-traveled veteran will start a quest for 300 career wins, needing 19 more to reach the milestone. He picked up nine victories in 19 appearances last season for Boston, recording a 2.53 goals-against average with a .905 save […]

Jeremy Swayman Opens Season Versus Dallas

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman will face the Dallas Stars in the team's season opener on Saturday. It's a start of a new era in Boston, with Tuukka Rask gone and Swayman sharing the crease with former Sabre Linus Ullmark. Swayman made a big impression in the league last season, going 7-3-0 in 10 games […]

David Perron Could Play In Season Opener

St. Louis Blues winger David Perron (undisclosed) could be in the lineup for Saturday's season opener against Colorado, despite missing Friday's practice. He was on the ice at the morning skate and is officially a game-time decision for the clash. The veteran winger led the Blues with 58 points in 56 games last season and […]

Brady Tkachuk Set To Miss The Weekend

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk remains out of the lineup on Saturday against Toronto and isn't expected to play in Sunday's contest versus Dallas either. The 22-year-old was finally signed to a contract this week, but he missed the preseason and needs time to get game-ready. Senators head coach DJ Smith believes that Tkachuk's […]

Bryan Rust Gets Placed On Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday retroactive to Oct. 14 when he got hurt in a 5-4 overtime loss to Florida. The Penguins simply can't say away from injuries, but there might also be some good news on the horizon as Zach Aston-Reese has come off the COVID-19 […]

John Klingberg Misses Out On Saturday

Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg (lower body) is unavailable for Saturday's visit to Boston. The 29-year-old rearguard hurt his left leg early in the team's season opener on Thursday against the Rangers and ended up exiting the game after trying to battle through the injury. Klingberg is listed day-to-day and the Stars are hopeful that […]

Ryan Strome Misses Saturday's Action Due To COVID Protocols

New York Rangers forward Ryan Strome will be sidelined for Saturday's meeting with the Canadiens after he was added to the COVID-19 list. The 28-year-old is also set to miss Monday's clash with Toronto. His absence will give a big opportunity to Filip Chytil, who gets a chance to skate as the second-line center alongside […]

Jack Johnson Joins Nathan MacKinnon On COVID-19 List

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jack Johnson was added to the COVID-19 protocols list and won't play on Saturday against St. Louis. He's the second Colorado player on the list after Nathan MacKinnon tested positive for the virus earlier in the week. The team hoped to get their star centerman back for Saturday's clash but he remains […]

Carson Wentz - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

I have a lot of respect for one of Pat McAfee’s favorite quarterbacks. Wentz works his butt off to make plays with his sprained ankles and his arm, and although he might put himself in harm’s way as often as Travis Pastrana and could suffer another season-ending injury sooner rather than later. Using him now […]

Petr Mrazek Continues To Nurse A Groin Problem

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) isn't game-ready and will miss Saturday's rematch with Ottawa. The Czech netminder got hurt in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators and was replaced by Jack Campbell. It wasn't a great team debut for Mrazek as he gave up three goals on 26 shots. Campbell was flawless with […]

Enrique Hernandez Homers Twice In Four-Hit Game

Boston Red Sox utility man Enrique Hernandez continued his torrid hitting in Game 1 of the ALCS Friday, recording yet another four-hit game with two home runs. He finished just a triple short of the cycle. With his two runs and two RBI, Hernandez has now gone 14-for-28 with four homers, seven runs, and eight […]

Chris Sale Gets Eight Outs In Game 1

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale made his second start of the postseason in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Houston Astros Friday, and once again he did not last long. Sale recorded just eight outs, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts. While he looked better than […]

Vince Dunn Unavailable For Seattle On Saturday

Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn will miss Saturday's clash with Columbus with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day. Haydn Fleury is set to re-enter the lineup in his place. The 25-year-old logged 20 minutes and had one shot, one block and five hits in his only previous appearance this season. Dunn's absence will open […]

Joe Burrow - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Joe is having an excellent start to his sophomore campaign and has been impressive despite coming off a major injury last season that many thought might hamper him this year. The Bengals backfield situation is a mess as Joe Mixon was just downgraded and Samaje Perine has already been ruled out. While I am sure the Bengals will still […]

Max Pacioretty Set To Miss Six Weeks With Fractured Foot

Vegas Golden Knights left wing Max Pacioretty will miss around six weeks of action due to a fractured foot. The veteran winger got hurt by blocking a shot in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Los Angeles. Pacioretty went pointless in the second game of the season, after starting off the year with an impressive three-point effort […]

Ja'Marr Chase - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Did anyone really think Chase was going to be this good this fast? There were a few analysts on him, but I think most people were taking a "wait and see" approach before investing too heavily in him. Well, I have waited and seen - and I really like what I see. He's already separated […]

2021-2022 RotoBaller NBA Staff League Draft Recap and Analysis

It's the time of year again! NBA draft season is in full effect and I was excited to participate in our RotoBaller staff league draft this week. We added some more analysts to the league this year and made it a 14-team league. We always play the standard 9-cat format on Yahoo, which is by […]

Mark Andrews - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

We finally got the eruption game from Andrews last week as he posted 11 catches for 147 yards and two scores while being targeted 13 times by Lamar Jackson on Monday night. I don't think it's chasing points this week to go back to the well on Andrews as he had already been trending up before that […]

Josh Jacobs - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Jacobs has been pretty mediocre to start the season, and that may be putting it lightly. In the three games he has been active, he has not surpassed 50 rushing yards, nor has he been particularly efficient. The only appealing factor of his game has been his usage near the goal line, as he has […]

Adam Thielen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Thielen has been very disappointing to start the season, and that could easily continue into Week 6 against the Panthers. As mentioned above, Cousins is likely in for a dud performance as well, so there will likely be a trickle-down effect into one, if not both Vikings’ receivers. Thielen seems like the obvious choice if […]

Jarvis Landry Ruled Out For Week 6

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) has been officially ruled out for the Week 6 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. The stud wideout will return to practice on Friday, but won't play this week. The organization has 21 days to activate Landry onto the 53-man roster. He will miss his fourth straight game, but […]

Jerry Jeudy Designated For Return

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) has been designated for return from the injured reserve. That means, Jeudy will be promoted to the team's active roster within the next 21 days. Possibly, Jeudy could return as early as next weekend's matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Although, that might be too soon, so fantasy managers […]

Antonio Gandy-Golden Promoted To 53-Man Roster

Washington Football Team wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden has been promoted to the 53-man roster ahead of the Week 6 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Stud wideout Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is uncertain to play following an injury during practice. Head coach Ron Rivera believes McLaurin will suit up, but it appears the team is getting […]

Chris Martin Included On NLCS Roster

Atlanta Braves reliever Chris Martin is on the NLCS roster to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to the team. Martin couldn't secure a spot on the division series roster but did have a productive season on the mound. He posted a 3.95 ERA with one save in 43.1 innings, although his strikeout rate […]

Donald Parham Jr. Could See His Targets Increase

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. could see a bigger role in the offense going forward. The former XFL star has been making an impact on the field over the last few games. Parham has scored a touchdown in each of the last two games and appears to be the Chargers most explosive […]

David Price Missing From NLCS Roster

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander David Price is not on the roster for the NLCS against the Atlanta Braves, according to the team. Price did make an appearance on the divisional series roster but couldn't get into a game. The veteran had an average season, posting a 4.03 ERA with just 58 strikeouts across 73.2 innings. […]

A.J. Brown To Be Limited Until Week 10

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 6, but will be limited for the time being. The organization said Brown won't receive a full complement of snaps until Week 10. They want to be careful with his lingering hamstring issue. Despite what they say, Brown was on the field […]
