Marquise Brown Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Brown made it through his Week 1 matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders and caught all six of his targets for 69 yards and one touchdown. More should be known on the status of Brown as the week goes on, but […]

Tyler Gilbert Placed On Injured List With Elbow Fatigue

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed starting pitcher Tyler Gilbert (elbow) on the 10-day injured list with elbow fatigue on Wednesday. Fellow starter Merrill Kelly was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move and he is set to start Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 27-year-old Gilbert had pitched relatively well in […]

Yordan Alvarez Getting Reps At First Base

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez has been getting some increased defensive reps at first base. According to Astros manager Dusty Baker, there's a chance that Alvarez could start seeing some action at first base during games soon. Yuli Gurriel is the team's starting first baseman and should be back on a team option next […]

Josh Reynolds Logs Full Practice On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Reynolds (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Reynolds missed Week 1 with a foot injury, but appears to be heading in the right direction for a Week 2 date versus the Seattle Seahawks. Coming over from the Los Angeles Rams as a free agent, Reynolds is expected to […]

Tim Anderson Out Of The Lineup On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Janson Junk and the Los Angeles Angels. Leury Garcia is starting at shortstop while Luis Robert is back in the leadoff position. Anderson missed nearly two weeks with a left hamstring strain before making his return in Tuesday's game. […]

Mike Trout Unlikely To Return In 2021

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) is unlikely to return to the field this year, according to Angels manager Joe Maddon. Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Maddon said that he would be "very surprised" if Trout made it back this year. The update isn't very surprising to hear, but it's the most clarity […]

Ryan Moore Could Be A Factor At Silverado

Silverado definitely fits Ryan Moore's eye, as evidenced by three top-20 finishes in four appearances at this event. The five-time PGA Tour winner's success in Napa makes sense, as while Moore is not long off the tee, he is an extremely accurate driver and a very solid wedge player. The UNLV product recently finished second […]

Jo Adell Lands On Injured List, Likely Done For The Year

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left abdominal strain on Wednesday. Jose Rojas was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. After the transaction, Angels manager Joe Maddon told reporters that he doubts Adell will play again this year. The 22-year-old had a much better […]

Adam Schenk Trending In The Wrong Direction

While Adam Schenk does set up nicely for Silverado on paper, there are concerns about his ball-striking form. The Indiana native lost 2.8 strokes ball-striking at the Northern Trust, good for his worst ball-striking week since April. That is certainly forgivable given that tournament was a FedEx Cup playoff event with one of the strongest […]

Willie Calhoun Activated And Starting On Wednesday

The Texas Rangers have activated outfielder Willie Calhoun (arm) from the injured list. He is playing designated hitter and batting second in Wednesday's game against Jose Urquidy and the Houston Astros. Calhoun was out for about two and a half months after breaking his arm. He played in 59 games with the Rangers before the […]

Cameron Champ Looks To Continue Success At Silverado

While Cameron Champ did win this event in 2019, he comes into this year's Fortinet Championship filled with question marks. Just three starts ago, Champ seemingly won the 3M Open out of nowhere. But since then, it has been a bit of a mixed bag from the three-time PGA Tour winner. Champ is coming off […]

Mike Minor Scratched And Placed On Injured List

The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to shoulder impingement syndrome. The team recalled reliever Scott Blewett from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Minor was originally slated to start Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics, but Carlos Hernandez is now starting in his place. […]

Wily Peralta Will Start On Sunday

Detroit Tigers right-hander Wily Peralta will draw the start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran has pitched to a 3.32 ERA, a 4.98 FIP, 49 strikeouts and 29 walks in 76 innings this season. In his last outing, the 32-year-old limited a quality Milwaukee Brewers lineup to two hits and a pair […]

Tarik Skubal To Start Saturday

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal will get the start on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It'll be a rematch as the left-hander faced the same Rays team and starter Luis Patino in his last outing. Skubal struck out six in three innings against Tampa Bay on September 12, allowing just one hit and a […]

Michael Brantley Lands On Injured List On Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right knee discomfort on Wednesday. Brantley missed the team's past three games. Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters on Tuesday that Brantley could return and play designated hitter on Friday, but clearly Brantley wasn't healing fast enough to make that happen. […]

Casey Mize To Start Against Rays On Friday

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize will start on Friday in a matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays. The rookie has pitched to a 3.66 ERA, a 4.84 FIP, 108 strikeouts, and 40 walks in 140.1 innings this season. Detroit has been limiting Mize's innings with shorter starters lately, so there isn't a ton of fantasy […]

Younghoe Koo A Starting Option Against Tampa

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a starting option this week against the Bucs. The kicker made both of his field-goal attempts last week and he's on an offense that is capable of moving the ball, so there are plenty of chances for him to get opportunities. The Bucs after one week allowed the fourth-most […]

Tyler Alexander Will Start On Thursday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Tyler Alexander is set to start on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Alexander has made 37 appearances, 11 of which were starts, for the Tigers this season. The left-hander has pitched to a 4.09 ERA and a 4.50 FIP in 83.2 innings with 71 strikeouts and 21 walks. In his last […]

Alex Bregman On The Bench Wednesday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers and right-hander Kohei Arihara. Bregman is hitting .297 with a .375 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and a stolen base in 331 plate appearances this season. He'll head to the bench with Marwin Gonzalez starting in his place at third and […]

Joey Gallo Isn't Starting On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo will begin Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles and left-hander John Means on the bench. The 27-year-old is batting .199 with a .355 on-base percentage, 34 home runs, and six stolen bases in 563 plate appearances this season. Aaron Judge, who started Tuesday's game in center field, is moving […]

Falcons Defense Is Not A Starting-Caliber Unit

The Atlanta Falcons defense should remain far away from fantasy lineups this week as the team heads to Tampa Bay to play the defending Super Bowl champion Bucs. Last week, this team was lit up by sophomore QB Jalen Hurts to the tune of 264 yards and three touchdowns while also being gashed on the […]

Kyle Pitts A TE1 In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is a TE1 option against Tampa this week. Pitts had a decent NFL debut last week, posting four receptions for 31 yards on eight targets. What really stood out was his targets, which were tied for the highest on the team with Calvin Ridley. It's now assumed the rookie […]

Russell Gage Better Left On The Bench

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is not a fantasy-worthy play this week against the Buccaneers. Last week, though the Falcons struggled, the receiver laid a goose egg and couldn't muster even a single yard. Gage is expected to be the WR2 behind Calvin Ridley this season and should be third in line for targets […]

Pharaoh Brown Dealing With Multiple Ailments

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (ankle, shoulder) is dealing with multiple ailments, which had him marked sitting out of Wednesday's practice session. Brown enjoyed a solid Week 1, corralling four of five targets for 67 receiving yards in his team's Week 1 win. The Oregon product will need to get at least a limited […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 Against Tampa

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 option against Tampa this week. As expected, Ridley paced the team last week with five receptions for 51 yards on eight targets in Week 1 against the Eagles. With Julio Jones out of town, the youngster now has no competition for the WR1 role and […]

Trevor Rogers Lasts Only Four Innings On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers only made it through four innings in Wednesday's start against the Washington Nationals. The Marlins ended up winning the game late, leaving Rogers with a no decision. In his four innings, he was able to limit damage, allowing just one run on seven hits and a walk while […]

Mike Davis Best Left On The Bench In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis is not a strong starting option in Week 2 against Tampa. The new RB1 of the Falcons posted 15 carries for 49 yards in the season opener against Philly last week. While Davis should get the majority of touches each week, that's not saying much considering the Falcons' only […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB2 Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is only a low-end QB2 option in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Last week against the Eagles, Ryan struggled and only managed 164 yards total without any touchdowns or interceptions. Now without Julio Jones this season, the QB is down to Calvin Ridley and rookie Kyle Pitts as his top […]

Jordan Whitehead Expected To Play In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Whitehead missed the opener after sustaining a hamstring injury upon clearing the COVID-19 protocols during training camp but appears set to rejoin Tampa Bay's defensive backfield. The Pittsburgh product started all 16 games for the Buccaneers defense in 2020, posting career […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It felt good to enjoy a full Sunday of NFL action and follow every player on multiple fantasy teams. But now the work begins. Thankfully there weren't many serious injuries in Week 1 but there are always holes to fill or standouts you want to get a hold of before the competition. That's where this […]
