Trevor Lawrence A Risky Streamer Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a speculative streaming play on Thursday night against the Bengals in Week 4. Lawrence has struggled to date, averaging just 11.1 fantasy points per game to go along with a 5:7 TD/INT. The Bengals have also allowed the ninth-fewest amount of fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through three weeks, […]

Frankie Montas Pitches Well In No-Decision Versus Mariners

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas allowed two unearned runs with seven strikeouts in a no-decision versus Seattle on Wednesday. Montas allowed just three hits and two walks in what was likely his last start of the 2021 season. The right-hander finished strong as he allowed three runs or fewer in all but one outing […]

Kolten Wong Sitting Again Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game on Thursday, according to MLB.com. There appear to be no injury concerns, but manager Craig Counsell is giving him extra rest before the postseason. The slick-fielding Wong is in the midst of his best offensive campaign, slashing .274/.338/.451 with […]

Luis Garcia Scores, Drives In A Run Wednesday

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia had a solid day at the plate Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored against the Colorado Rockies in a 10-5 loss. Garcia now has 15 extra-base hits in September, and while his .275 OBP on the season will have to improve in […]

Lane Thomas Continues Surge Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas drove in two runs Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored against the Colorado Rockies. Thomas has not let up since coming over from the St. Louis Cardinals, and he's now slashing .276/.367/.528 with seven homers and three steals, 27 runs, and 23 RBI in his last […]

Paolo Espino Closes Season With Short Outing

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Paolo Espino pitched poorly in a rain-shortened outing Wednesday, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk in two innings. He did not strike out a batter, and was fortunate to take a no-decision. It's a disappointing final appearance of 2021 for Espino, who had rounded into form with three […]

Jarred Kelenic Drives In Two Against A's

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic drove in two runs with a double Wednesday, going 1-for-4 in a 4-2 win against the Oakland Athletics. Kelenic has now driven in 41 runs this season.

Abraham Toro Breaks Out With Homer

Seattle Mariners infielder Abraham Toro hit his first home run since August 31 on Wednesday, a solo shot which gave the Mariners an important insurance run against the Oakland Athletics in a 4-2 victory.

Drew Steckenrider Saves Game For Second Straight Day

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider saved a game for the second consecutive day Wednesday, bringing his season total to 13. He's now a perfect 6-for-6 in the month of September. Steckenrider allowed one hit in an inning of work against the Oakland Athletics to eliminate them from playoff contention. It's a split job with […]

Logan Gilbert Excellent Into Sixth Inning

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert rose to the occasion Wednesday, throwing 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball to lead the Mariners to a victory over the Oakland Athletics. Gilbert allowed three hits and two walks and struck out four batters in the no-decision. He's been excellent in September, pitching to a 2.70 ERA and […]

David Fletcher Fails To Get A Hit Again

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher couldn't get out of the rut he's been in on Wednesday, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the 7-2 win against the Texas Rangers. It marked the eighth game in a row without a hit, and he's gone 0-for-24 with a walk over that span. The drought has […]

Jorge Polanco Belts Three-Run Homer Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Tigers. Polanco's homer traveled 418 feet at 105.8 MPH, and it gave the Twins a 3-0 lead in the first inning. The veteran second baseman has slashed .271/.325/.506 with 32 homers, 94 RBI, 94 runs […]

Michael Pineda Wins Fifth Straight Start

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda earned his fifth straight win Wednesday against the Tigers. Pineda pitched 5 2/3 innings, surrendering one run on eight hits. The righty struck out five batters while issuing zero walks. Pineda had his stuff working well, as he picked up at least two whiffs on all three offerings for […]

Jean Segura Collects RBI In Loss To Braves

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura went 0-for-4 but drove in a run with an RBI groundout in a loss to the Braves on Wednesday. Segura has put together a solid season for Philly as he's slashing .292/.351/.439 with 14 homers, nine steals, and 58 RBI across 130 games played. He's not flashy, but Segura […]

Janson Junk Strikes Out Five In No-Decision

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Janson Junk (0-1) looked good in Wednesday's start against the Texas Rangers, giving up two runs over 4 2/3 innings. He added five strikeouts, no walks and he surrendered seven hits as the Angels went on to win 7-2. It was just the fourth start of his career and the […]

Max Fried Tosses Gem Versus Phillies

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried had little issues against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. He went seven innings, four hits allowed, one earned run, and six strikeouts in the 7-2 victory. His excellent outing helped the Braves basically secure first place in the NL East.

Gleyber Torres Has Three-Hit Game Wednesday

New York Yankees shortstop/second baseman Gleyber Torres went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Aric Almirola Is One To Watch At Talladega

Aric Almirola, other than a 2020 crash, has been excellent at Talladega with a slew of top-10 results. The Stewart-Haas racing driver even won the 2018 fall race when he led the one lap that counted -- the final one. At one point, the No. 10 car finished in the top 10 eight consecutive times. […]

Bubba Wallace Slightly Intriguing At Talladega

Bubba Wallace has raced pretty well even with some bad luck at Talladega. Over the last two races, Wallace has led a combined 26 laps. He even racked up some stage points for his new team as well. The 23XI Racing driver should have better results next year. That is the hope. This year is […]

NBA Rookies With The Best Landing Spots

There’s nothing worse than getting uber-excited about a newly-drafted rookie only to see him riding the bench behind some washed-up veteran, right? Well….some of the rookies below might find themselves dealing with a little of that early on in their careers, but be patient! The seven players below all landed in ideal spots for their […]

Gerrit Cole Shaky In No-Decision

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole struggled in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays. Cole pitched six innings, allowing five runs on nine hits while striking out six batters compared to zero walks. The ace right-hander has continued to struggle with the home run ball, as he has now allowed five long balls in […]

Daniel Suarez A Questionable Choice At Talladega

Daniel Suarez has not finished in the top 10 when it comes to the fall race at Talladega. He has some decent top-20 results, though. That is good for the Trackhouse Racing driver, but is that good enough for DFS? Suarez starts 18th on Sunday, and his best place differential on the superspeedway is plus-nine […]

Chase Briscoe A Dicey Option At Talladega

One gets the feeling that Chase Briscoe's 11th-place finish in the spring at Talladega may have been more a product of attrition than anything else. It will be interesting to see how the Stewart-Haas Racing driver comes out on Sunday. He starts 17th, and it has not been the greatest of seasons for Briscoe. He […]

Aaron Nola Turns In Quality Start Versus Braves Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola didn't have his best outing on Wednesday at Atlanta, but managed to post a quality start despite falling to 9-9 on the season. This start was likely the last for Nola in what was a disappointing campaign for the hurler drafted as a top-10 starting pitcher back in March. […]

Antonio Brown Activated Off COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was activated off the COVID-19 list Thursday. Brown will suit up for a Week 4 primetime game against the Patriots. The star receiver landed on the COVID-19 list on September 22 and missed the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams, though he'll be a welcome presence for […]

Austin Dillon On A Good Run At Talladega

There is a risk every time Austin Dillon or any driver races at Talladega. However, five of the last six races have been mostly good for the Richard Childress Racing driver. Four top-15 results to boot have some wondering what Dillon can do starting from the 16th spot on Sunday. The No. 3 car has […]

Matt DiBenedetto Just Has To Drive At Talladega

At this point, all Matt DiBenedetto can do is just drive his race car. His crew chief is moving on at the end of the season. He does not have a ride for next year as of press time. All he can do is just go for it. The last two races at Talladega have […]

Kurt Busch May Be A Risk Again At Talladega

It is the fall race at Talladega that has befuddled Kurt Busch of late. The last four races here have seen the elder Busch finish outside of the top 10 with two straight DNFs. Here is the weird part: It seemed like he had it figured out in 2018. Busch led 108 of the 193 […]

Jason Myers Could Go Quiet In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was ultra-reliable a season ago, but heading into Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers, he's already missed two of his 13 kicking attempts after missing only four times on 77 attempts a season ago. The Seahawks offense bogged down in Week 3 after a hot start, and that led […]
