Jacob Harris Is Blanked Against Denver Broncos

Los Angeles Rams tight end Jacob Harris has been an exciting story in camp, but he ended his preseason on a bit of a downswing as he failed to haul in any of his three targets against the Denver Broncos. At 6'5" and 219 pounds, Harris has a great combination of size and athleticism, but […]

Path to WR1: D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has had one of the more wild rides in the NFL over the last two-and-a-half years.

Catchers to Stream - Week 23 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams. […]

David Montgomery Is Still Being Slept On

It’s 2021 and running backs could very well be the most difficult position in fantasy football to solve on your roster. 10 years ago, you could just draft two running backs in the first two rounds no matter who it was, and barring injuries, you were in the clear. Now, with the rise in production […]

Path to QB1: Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts heads into training camp as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Unlike years past, there's no quarterback controversy in Philadelphia, giving Hurts an entire training camp and preseason to learn the offense and operate with the starters. With a new coaching regime in place, the repetitions can only help both Hurts and […]

D.J. Chark is the Jaguars Receiver You Want

Why is D.J. Chark not receiving more fantasy love? Not only is he not receiving the kind of fanfare he should be, but there are some who believe Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver in 2021. That's certainly a possibility, but fantasy managers need to remember just how good Chark […]

Henry Ruggs III - 2021 Breakout Candidate

Henry Ruggs III was the first receiver picked in the 2020 draft to the surprise of many.

Laviska Shenault Jr. – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in a lot better shape heading into the 2021 NFL season than they were at the end of the 2020 season, and that bodes well for the fantasy futures of their skill-position players. Laviska Shenault Jr. was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars because […]

Travis Etienne Done for 2021 - Fantasy Impact

Jaguars' first-round rookie RB Travis Etienne suffered a serious mid-foot Lisfranc injury during the teams’ preseason Week 2 game vs. the Saints.

Jalen Reagor – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jalen Reagor did not show fantasy football general managers much in 2020, but the same will not hold true in 2021. The Philadelphia Eagles’ former first-round pick was supposed to kickstart their pass-catching corps and give fantasy footballers a speedy slot receiver who could be useful in standard and dynasty leagues. Instead, Reagor gave fantasy […]

Kevin Pillar Belts Two Homers On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs, three runs scored, and was hit by a pitch in the Mets 5-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday. Pillar's two home runs were his second and third over his last five games played. Pillar has been a nice surprise for the […]

Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Gerald Everett was stuck in a tight end timeshare as part of an offense whose passing attack rarely focused on its tight ends. Not anymore. Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks as soon as he could leave the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. He is now a multimillionaire member of Russell Wilson’s receiving […]

Irv Smith Jr. Is the Sleeper TE to Target

After a dominant junior season at Alabama in 2018, the Minnesota Vikings made Irv Smith Jr. the 50th overall pick in the 2019 draft, and the draft capital attached to his name brought lofty expectations. Smith's talent was evident when he ran a 4.63 40-yard-dash at the 2019 NFL Combine, second among top tight end […]

Jose Suarez Has Brief Start Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Suarez (5-7) didn't last long against the San Diego Padres on Saturday, pitching just 3.2 innings.

Xavier Jones Struggles In Preseason Finale

Los Angeles Rams running back Xavier Jones saw his path to the roster get much harder last week when the team traded for Sony Michel, and he didn't blow the team away as he needed to in the preseason finale against the Denver Broncos. Jones had 13 carries for 44 yards to go with three […]

Michael Conforto Blasts Pinch-Hit Homer On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto hit a clutch pinch-hit three-run home run in the Mets 5-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Chris Godwin Goes For 84 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin finished with three receptions for 84 yards and a score on three targets in Saturday's win over the Texans.

Kyle Trask Tosses First Career Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask finished Saturday's win against Houston by going 12-for-14 for 146 yards and one touchdown. The touchdown was the rookie's first in the NFL.

Francisco Lindor Swipes Two Bags On Saturday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in the Mets 5-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Daniel Bard Temporarily Out As Rockies Closer

On Saturday, a night after Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard saw teammate Carlos Estevez earn a save against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, Bard was called on to preserve a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning against the Dodgers. Bard promptly allowed all four baserunners he faced to reach without recording an out. […]

Tom Brady Goes For 154 Yards Against Texans

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady finished Saturday's preseason finale win against the Texans by going 11-for-14 with 154 yards and one touchdown.
