J.T. Realmuto Returns To Lineup At First Base On Wednesday
Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (shoulder) is back in the lineup Wednesday versus Alec Mills and the Cubs. Realmuto will play first base with Andrew Knapp getting another game behind the plate as Realmuto continues to nurse a shoulder injury. Philadelphia announced Realmuto would see more time at first base to try and keep its […]

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Wednesday
Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs is not practicing on Wednesday as he nurses toe and ankle injuries. While this is not exactly surprising news, it's not ideal for fantasy managers who watched Jacobs limp off the field a couple of times on Monday night. Toe injuries are historically problematic for running backs since they […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Great Week 2 Option
The Dallas Cowboys defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 lineups. Traveling to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere in the bottom five of fantasy units for Week 2. Although they certainly looked improved from last year in Week 1 and managed four […]

Pharaoh Brown Unable To Practice Wednesday
Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (undisclosed) was unable to practice Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. Brown suffered the injury at some point during his team's Week 1 victory over the Jaguars, but it didn't affect his production much, as he totaled four receptions for 67 yards. The official practice report will shed some […]

Greg Zuerlein Looks For A Better Week 2
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein will look for better results in Week 2 when he and his team take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein attempted eight kicks in Week 1, missing an extra point and two field goals. Because of the Dallas offense, Zuerlein should see plenty of kicking opportunities, but he seems limited […]

Jesus Aguilar Likely Done For The Year
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) is not expected to be able to return to the field this season. Aguilar was placed on the injured list last week, and it seems like he will simply run out of time and won't be able to return before the end of the season. The big first […]

Dalton Schultz Only An Option In Deep Leagues In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is only a fantasy starting option in very deep leagues and two-tight end formats. Schultz led the Cowboys tight ends in Week 1 with six targets, catching all six for 45 yards. Blake Jarwin figures to get more and more involved as he gets back up to speed after […]

Jamison Crowder Will Return In Week 2
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that the team expects to have slot receiver Jamison Crowder and wide receiver Keelan Cole back in time for Sunday's game against the Patriots. As a reliable veteran, Crowder's return is good news for Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. However, how much the slot receiver plays is […]

Blake Jarwin A Depth Option For Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end leagues for a Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jarwin came back from his ACL tear last week after missing almost all of the 2020 season. In the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, he […]

Willy Adames Participates In Pregame Drills
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Willy Adames (quad) participated in pregame drills ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He ran and participated in fielding drills on Wednesday. Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list last Sunday with a quad injury. The 26-year-old remains day-to-day but is trending in the right direction to be activated […]

Anthony Firkser Misses Open Portion of Practice
Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser was spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice but went inside before the open portion. There was no report of an injury for Firkser after Week 1, so perhaps this is just a rest day. However, fantasy managers should be concerned that, despite a positive game script, Firkser […]

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He will get the day off after hitting .162 (6-for-37) with an RBI over his last 11 games. Sam Hilliard (elbow) is in the lineup, batting sixth and starting in left field. Hilliard returns to the lineup after […]

Hank Lebioda Trending In The Wrong Direction
Hank Lebioda had a nice little run over the summer when he finished 13th, 51st, 17th, 31st, fifth, fourth and eighth in seven consecutive starts. Since then, however, Lebioda has missed back-to-back cuts. The Florida State product's hot streak always felt like it was unsustainable given how much he was relying on his putter. Lebioda […]

Shane Bieber Throws 47 Pitches In Rehab Start
Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber (shoulder) allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out three across 2 2/3 innings in Tuesday's rehab start with Triple-A Columbus. He has been sidelined since mid-June with a strained right shoulder. The Guardians are out of the playoff race and won't rush their ace […]

Alex Verdugo Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup
Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went 2-for-5 with a two-run shot in Tuesday's win. The 25-year-old will get the day off slashing .375/.360/.500 with six RBI over his last seven games. Fantasy managers with daily moves need to remove Verdugo from their lineups. Jose Iglesias […]

Marc Leishman Not Worth The Risk At Silverado
Marc Leishman is a proven winner who is certainly one of the more talented players in this field based on pedigree alone. With that being said, the Australian has struggled all season to find any semblance of consistent form, and while he has popped with top-fives at the Travelers, the Masters, and the Sony Open, […]

Mito Pereira Not Worth The Price Of Admission
Mito Pereira has become a trendy pick in golf circles this week, but buyer beware on the young Chilean. Pereira is being priced like he is a proven PGA Tour player, yet he has only recorded seven career starts on Tour, and he has missed the cut in four of them. There is no denying […]

Stephen Jaeger Could Impress At Silverado
While Stephen Jaeger has yet to become a household name, he is certainly one to watch in the 2021-2022 season. In 35 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour, he won twice and finished runner-up on four other occasions. He finished inside the Top 10 in one-third of his starts and won the regular-season points title. […]

Saquon Barkley Questionable Against Washington
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was a limited practice participant this week and is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Washington Football Team in Week 2. As far as we know, Barkley didn't have a setback this week, so he should be good to go on Thursday night […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Will Not Play In Week 2
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) will not play in Week 2 against the Houston Texans on Sunday. It will be Beckham's second straight missed game to start the year after he suffered a torn ACL last October. It's frustrating for Beckham's fantasy managers, but the Browns […]

Ricardo Allen Going On Injured Reserve
Cincinnati Bengals safety Ricardo Allen (hand, hamstring) is going on Injured Reserve and will miss at least three weeks with a broken hand and a hamstring strain, according to a source. The Bengals added veteran safety Sean Davis to their practice squad in a corresponding move. Allen spent the previous six seasons with the Atlanta […]

Cedrick Wilson An Option In Deeper Leagues In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson could be a decent option in deeper league lineups for Week 2. Wilson will be taking the place of Michael Gallup (ankle) for at least the next few weeks. Gallup operated as the third wide receiver in Week 1, drawing seven targets before being forced to leave the game. […]

Joey Wendle Not In Lineup For Wednesday's Game
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle will take a seat on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to MLB.com. Wendle has put up decent offensive numbers this season, slashing .274/.324./436 with 10 HRs and seven stolen bases over 122 games. He's a fine player to roster in many leagues, not […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks For Another Great Game In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to build on a strong Week 1 in a Week 2 road game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lamb was great in the first game of the season, seeing 15 targets, catching seven of them for 104 yards and a touchdown. He'll face a much tougher secondary […]
