Rashaad Penny Dealing With Calf Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He made the Seahawks' final 53-man roster and is expected to be the primary backup behind undisputed starter Chris Carson. The former first-rounder rushed for 32 yards on 12 attempts while catching two passes on three targets for 11 yards in […]

Kadarius Toney Could Have “Significant Role” In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) could have a "significant role" in the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos, per head coach Joe Judge. "I think it's realistic Toney could have a significant role against the Broncos based on how practices this week," said Judge. The Giants 2021 first-round pick missed most of […]

Daniel Jones And Giants Offense Could Start Off Slow

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones draws a decent matchup at home against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. Denver allows 234.9 yards per game through the air and 15th in DVOA against the pass. The 24-year-old will look to make that third-year leap this season after a disappointing campaign in 2020. He threw for […]

Triston McKenzie Strikes Out Seven Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie struck out seven across six innings of one-run bass in a 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. McKenzie has continued to roll since his early struggles this season and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his previous five starts. He will make his […]

Saquon Barkley Could Be Limited In A Plus Matchup Vs. Denver

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is trending in the right direction towards suiting up for the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He went down with a torn ACL and MCL in his knee in Week 2 of last year and missed the rest […]

Vladimir Gutierrez Strikes Out Six In No-Decision

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez turned in a solid outing in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Gutierrez allowed just one run over five innings while striking out six and walking two. His only mistake was a solo homer to Ian Happ in the first inning. The rookie hurler didn't stick around […]

Ji-Man Choi Strikes Out Three Times In Return

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday after being sidelined for about three weeks with a left hamstring strain. The 30-year-old is slashing .245/.348/.426 with nine home runs, 38 RBI, […]

Joey Votto Hits Solo Homer In Wednesday's Loss

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Votto took Chicago starter Alec Mills deep in the fourth inning to give the Reds their only run of the contest. That was Votto's first homer since August 20 as he has cooled […]

Josh Lowe Swipes Bag In MLB Debut

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe went 1-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in his big-league debut Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. He started in right field and batted eighth in Wednesday's loss. The Rays rookie outfielder reached base on a walk and stole his first career base. He later hit an […]

Shane McClanahan Tosses Five Shutout Innings In No-Decision

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision. The southpaw bounced back on Wednesday after surrendering four runs in his previous start against Boston. McClanahan limited the Red […]

Mark Melancon Nails Down League-Leading 37th Save On Wednesday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Mark Melancon worked a scoreless ninth inning to lock down an 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. The four-time All-Star was summoned to close the deal after the Angels put up four runs between the seventh and eighth innings. The 36-year-old has had a stellar 2021 campaign, […]

Mike Gesicki Might Get Off To Slow Start

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki became a key part to this offensive unit last season. He finished with 53 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns, which were all career highs. However, the Dolphins did add on offense with Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller. Possibly, Gesicki gets less targets in 2021, but he should […]

Jaylen Waddle Gets Tough Matchup For NFL Debut

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is expected to be an impact player for this offense in 2021. He was taken as the sixth overall pick during this year's draft. He'll join a solid group of receivers in DeVante Parker and Will Fuller. It sounds like Waddle has been impressing in practice and could have […]

Joe Ryan Goes Seven Scoreless For Win On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan authored a seven-inning gem during a 3-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. The 25-year-old took a perfect game into the seventh inning before Indians infielder Amed Rosario broke up the bid with a single. Ryan, part of the Nelson Cruz trade, struck out four across 85 pitches. […]

DeVante Parker A Shaky WR3 For Opener

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker struggled throughout most of the 2020 campaign. He finished with 63 receptions, 793 yards, and four touchdowns through 14 games with Miami. Those aren't bad stats, but the Dolphins have upgraded since last season. They've added both Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller to their core plus still have Preston […]

Tyler Rogers Earns Sixth Win Of Season Wednesday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers improved to 6-1 in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. The side-armer came in to pitch the eighth inning down by a run and logged a scoreless inning with no walks, no strikeouts, and a double allowed. The Giants then scored four runs in the top half of […]

Malcolm Brown A Risky Choice In Team Debut

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is reportedly going to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. However, it sounds like the Dolphins believe Myles Gaskin can be a three-down back. Regardless, both Brown and Salvon Ahmed should see action during the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. A defense that […]

Yu Darvish Strikes Out Seven In Win

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish spun six innings while striking out seven during an 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. The 34-year-old allowed just one run on three hits and a walk during the quality start. Darvish generated 31 CSW on 99 pitches, and also saw an increase in spin […]

Myles Gaskin A Fine PPR Option For Opener

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is currently listed as the No. 1 option on the depth chart. However, head coach Brian Flores mentioned that the team plans to use a three-back committee. It's uncertain what is going to happen until we see it on the field in Week 1. Nonetheless, Gaskin should be the […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge In Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looked much improved during the preseason. He seemed comfortable in the pocket and was actually throwing an accurate deep ball to his wideouts. He'll certainly need to set up after having only three multiple touchdown games last season. His first assignment is going to be a tough challenge against the […]

Giovanny Gallegos Earns Another Save On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher and apparent new closer Giovanny Gallegos earned his fifth save of the season in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gallegos inherited two runners, allowing one to score but recording the last two outs of the game before the Dodgers could tie things up. It's the fifth save […]

Anthony DeSclafani Posts Short Outing Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani did not factor in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. DeSclafani pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts. The 31-year-old has been a solid addition to the Giants' rotation this season overall, going 11-6 with a 3.33 ERA over […]

Tony Gonsolin Tabbed As Starter For Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) will be activated Thursday and get the start against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 27-year-old has battled shoulder inflammation this season, including two separate stints on the injured list, and has been on the shelf since July 31. The return of the […]

Isaiah McKenzie Practicing In Full For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He injured his shoulder in practice a couple of weeks ago and still hasn't fully recovered. The MRI came back clean, which is a good sign going forward. However, it's unlikely that McKenzie is going to have […]

Adam Wainwright Pitches Into The Ninth Inning Again

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright worked into the ninth inning again in Wednesday's start. He coughed up two runs in the ninth and wasn't able to finish the game, also losing the quality start in the process. In total, he tossed 8 1/3 innings against a powerful Dodgers lineup, allowing four runs on […]

Dawson Knox Could Struggle Against Pittsburgh

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is often times the lost man for this offensive unit. However, he did scored in five of his last nine games for the Bills last season. Sadly, he'll get a tough matchup to kickoff the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A defense that allowed just three touchdowns to tight […]

Emmanuel Sanders Hopeful To Play In Opener

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Obviously, fantasy managers don't like to see that with Week 1 being just a few days away. However, Sanders is currently listed as questionable, but it doesn't sound like this issue should hold him out of the season opener. Right now, fantasy managers […]
