D'Andre Swift Still Not Practicing

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) continues to be unable to practice as the team is a few days away from their second preseason game. Swift began the week doing some light running on the sidelines but was in street clothes for Tuesday's practice session. Swift was intended to get the first crack at […]

T.J. Hockenson Continues To Raise Expectations

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson continues to have an impressive camp heading towards the team's second preseason game. Hockenson has raised his level of play each year he has been in the league and reports indicate he has been the best offensive player in camp thus far. With new starting quarterback Jared Goff in […]

Marc Leishman a Volatile Option With Some Upside at Northern Trust

There are certainly some things to like about Marc Leishman. Over his last 36 rounds, he ranks fifth in this field in proximity from 200 yards plus, and 35% of approach shots at Liberty National come from over 200 yards. With that being said, Leishman only has one top-20 finish in the last three months, […]

A.J. Puk (RP, OAK) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Especially with his injury concerns; it always felt like the closer A.J. Puk got to the majors, the further away he actually ended up. For how raw he was coming out of Florida in 2016 as the sixth overall pick, he transitioned […]

Kalif Raymond

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond continues to have a strong training camp with his new team. The 27-year-old has spent the last two seasons with the Titans and now has a chance to really contribute on a Lions team struggling with wide receiver depth. Raymond's lack of size (5'9") makes him no more than […]

Viktor Hovland Sets up Well for Liberty National

Viktor Hovland has never played Liberty National before, but he certainly possesses the skill-set that I am looking for here. Over his last 36 rounds, the two-time PGA Tour winner ranks fifth in proximity from 175-200 yards, sixth in proximity from 175-200 yards, and ninth in proximity from 200 yards plus. Hovland is actually the […]

Andy Dalton In Line To Play More Saturday

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton suddenly is in line to play a lot more in the team's second preseason game against the Bills on Saturday. Rookie backup quarterback Justin Fields was held out of practice on Wednesday with a groin injury. The team told the press they are being "overly cautious" with Fields and that […]

Cole Kmet Not At Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (hamstring) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Kmet joins a long list of the walking wounded at Bears camp but head coach Matt Nagy insisted that the team is being cautious with Kmet. The second-year tight end is expected to take on a much larger role this season […]

Kevin Kisner Coming off an Impressive Win

Kevin Kisner certainly proved me wrong last week with a win at the Wyndham Championship, and I'm dubious suggest that he should be faded in this spot either. While Sedgefield Country Club is certainly a better course for Kisner than Liberty National is, the four-time PGA Tour winner has finished 12th here in 2019, and […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Looks Good In Wednesday Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly looked good in his team's Wednesday practice session. According to beat reporter Mark Kay Cabot, Beckham looked "good catching passes and running in some one-on-one work" with quarterback Baker Mayfield. In Cabot's opinion, Beckham would be able to play some if the regular season started on Thursday. […]

Cameron Smith May Be Too Reliant on Putter to Consider at Liberty National

While Cameron Smith is coming off a fifth-place finish in his last start at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude Invitational, the only reason he was in the mix was because he gained 9.7 strokes short game and putting. While it's hard to call that a spike putting week for Smith, who is one of the […]

Joaquin Niemann May Find Himself in Trouble at Liberty National

Joaquin Niemann is an extremely talented player, but I tend to prefer him on easier courses where birdies are the currency and there is a de-emphasis on short game. While the young Chilean is an excellent iron player, my concern is that he will have to rely too much on his short game if his […]

Dak Prescott Limited But Participating In Practice On Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Prescott was reportedly "throwing, but gradually" as he continues to recover from a shoulder strain. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy stated that it was "fair to say" that Dak won't play in the Cowboys second preseason game. It's unlikely the Dallas signal caller sees any […]

Jordan Spieth Looks to Continue Strong Play at Liberty National

Jordan Spieth has nice some experience at Liberty National. The three-time major champion finished 19th here in 2013, sixth in 2019, and he played extremely well in the 2017 Presidents Cup that was also held at Liberty National. My biggest concern with Spieth is that his ball-striking did regress significantly during his last start at […]

Melvin Gordon III Back at Practice

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (groin) was back at practice on Wednesday. There have been reports out of camp that even with some missed practice time, Gordon is still the team's No. 1 running back, with rookie Javonte Williams behind him on the depth chart. The 28-year-old has dealt with some injuries in […]

Reid Detmers (SP, LAA) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Reid Detmers was playing college ball until 2020 when he was drafted 10th overall by the Angels, and now at the age of 22, the Louisville lefty is already considered a top-100 prospect and was in this year's Future's Game. The Angels […]

Tyrrell Hatton Poised for a Strong Performance at Northern Trust

While Tyrrell Hatton has certainly had an underwhelming season on the PGA Tour by his standards, there is reason to believe that he could find success at Liberty National. Over his last 36 rounds, the Englishman is number two in this field in proximity from 200 yards plus. 35% of Liberty National's approach shots can […]

Tanner Rainey Shut Down At Triple-A

The Washington Nationals have shut down relief pitcher Tanner Rainey (side) due to side pain. Rainey had been pitching at Triple-A Rochester prior to the injury. His recent MRI came back negative for any structural damage, which is certainly promising. Now that he has been shut down, he will likely be sidelined for a good […]

Corey Conners A Great Option At Liberty National

Corey Conners has had an incredible season in 2021, about as good as you can without winning. Conners has racked up seven top-10 finishes, and 15 top-20's. With that, Conners recorded his best career finish at The Masters, The Open, PGA Championship, and The Players Championship in 2021. A reason for that, Conners has been […]

Jaylen Waddle Unstoppable At Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle continues to make noise at practice. In a joint practice with the Atlanta Falcons, Waddle "made tough catches look easy." The chemistry he has built with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is apparent when watching the two connect on deep passes, as well as intermediate and short routes. With DeVante Parker […]

Isaac Paredes Activated And Optioned To Triple-A

The Detroit Tigers activated third baseman Isaac Paredes (hip) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Following the activation, the team optioned him to Triple-A Toledo. Paredes spent nearly a month on the injured list while dealing with a right hip strain. He has been rehabbing with Triple-A Toledo since Tuesday, so he will just […]

Billy Horschel Is Risky, But Not An Awful Option At Northern Trust

Billy Horschel is coming off another solid performance at a World Golf Championship. In the three WGC's in 2021, Horschel has finishes of T2, 1, and T17. However, if you take out Horschel's WGC finishes, he only has one top-25 finish since May. Horschel struggles with his irons, which isn't something you want this week, […]

Lewis Thorpe Leaves Wednesday's Start With An Injury

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Lewis Thorpe (undisclosed) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians due to an apparent injury. He was visited on the mound in the second inning by the team's head athletic trainer, then removed from the game after that. His final line for the day was 1 1/3 innings, one […]

Adam Scott Looking for Second Victory at Liberty National

Adam Scott has some phenomenal history at Liberty National, with a win in 2013 and a fifth-place finish in 2019. While the Australian has had an extremely disappointing season by his standards, last week's playoff loss was at the Wyndham Championship was still very encouraging. The former Masters champion missed an easy putt to win […]

Darnell Mooney Has Taken “Huge Jump”

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney was one of the biggest surprises of the 2020 NFL season. The sophomore will look to take another leap this year, as he has gotten more comfortable at the NFL level. Newly signed quarterback Andy Dalton said "From what I've seen and what I've heard, I feel like he's […]

Evan Longoria, Buster Posey Sitting On Wednesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria and catcher Buster Posey are both absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Tylor Megill and the New York Mets. Curt Casali is getting the start behind the plate while Kris Bryant (hamstring) returns from a one-game absence to man third base. Both Longoria and Posey […]

Jake Kumerow Continues Impressing In Camp

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jake Kumerow has reportedly been impressive during training camp. He made a few solid catches earlier this week and appears to be building chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen. "He just puts his head down and he works, doesn't talk a whole lot," Allen explained. "He is the definition of a gamer, […]
