Matt Peacock Optioned To Minors

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock has been optioned to the minors on Saturday. The 27-year-old wasn't pitching bad in the MLB, but it sounds like Arizona wanted a fresh arm. They recalled right-hander Humberto Castellanos for Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Peacock posted a 4.90 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 86 1/3 innings with […]

Justin Upton Remains Out Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) was not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He continues to deal with nagging injuries, which have hindered him all season long. Upton tried to play on Saturday, but back spasms stopped him from getting into the lineup. There really isn't much upside […]

AJ Pollock Exits Early On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock (undisclosed) was pulled out early during Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran outfielder appears to have suffered an injury while diving into third base in the third inning. He limped off the field and the team has not given anymore details. The Dodgers are likely going […]

Keelan Cole Projected As Starter

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole appears to have won a starting spot heading into the regular season. Cole has put together some respectable numbers with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It'll be interesting to see how he does with rookie Zach Wilson under center. The Jets have Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios, and Denzel Mims, but […]

Tevin Coleman Projected As Starter

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman is projected as the lead back on the depth chart. The veteran back appears to have the edge at the starting job heading into Week 1. However, that should be taken with a grain of salt since the team is going to use a committee approach at running […]

Blessuan Austin Cut By Jets

New York Jets defensive back Blessuan Austin was cut by the organization earlier this week. It was a bit of a shocking move to see Austin let go by the Jets. He started 11 games for New York last season. Austin recorded 63 tackles, four passes defended, and one fumble forced. Clearly, the 25-year-old didn't […]

Teoscar Hernandez Swats 24th Long Ball

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez launched his 24th home run and 92nd RBI of the season on Saturday to help his team defeat the Athletics 10-8. His three-run shot off Jake Diekman in the seventh gave his club some much needed insurance at the time for his only hit of the ball game as […]

Tommy Sweeney Wins Backup Role

Buffalo Bills tight end Tommy Sweeney will be the No. 2 tight end option for the team heading into the season. He saw limited action during his rookie season in 2019. Sadly, he missed all of the 2020 season due to a heart condition. Sweeney outplayed Jacob Hollister in training camp and won the backup […]

Defense Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts

Drafting and starting the right fantasy football team defense every week can be a difference maker. Each year NFL defenses change a lot, and as the season progresses we see which units are more fantasy viable that others. With that comes a lot of defense streaming off the waiver wire, which can be both beneficial […]

Jose Berrios Notches 10th Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios picked up his 10th win of the season on Saturday as his club defeated the Athletics 10-8. The right-hander lasted 6 2/3 innings while giving up three runs on four hits, no walks, and seven strikeouts in the 103-pitch effort. He surrendered just two hits and a run […]

Jalen Hurd Could Miss Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd (knee) is in danger of missing the opener against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with a sore knee, which stems from last season's torn ACL. With head coach Kyle Shanahan likely to limit the number of wideouts in uniform from week to week, Hurd could […]

Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts

The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]

Saquon Barkley Still Uncertain About Week 1 Status

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) is still in jeopardy of missing the Week 1 opener against the Denver Broncos. Although Barkley has been making contact during recent practice sessions, which is a good sign, team medical staff will continue to take things slow with the former Nittany Lion. The 24-year-old hasn't played […]

Kyle Hendricks Continues To Struggle

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks had another rough outing on Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The veteran only lasted 4 1/3 innings and allowed five hits, six runs, three walks and recorded just one strikeout. Hendricks was putting together another solid campaign, but had an awful month of August with a 7.81 ERA and […]

Frank Schwindel Stays Red Hot With Another Homer

Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel continued his hot hitting in Saturday's victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Schwindel went 3-for-5 with two RBI. His first RBI came on a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning and his second RBI came with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning. […]

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football

You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]

Must-Have Players for PPR Leagues

Given that PPR leagues have essentially taken over as the new standard format across fantasy football, this article may seem fairly redundant with other "must-have" pieces but nevertheless provides valuable information. PPR scoring is inherently flawed given that dump-off pass-catchers that do not impact the actual game heavily are overweight in value. We are not […]

Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target

With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]

Late-Round Draft Values - Running Backs

Once you reach the late rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (9/5/21) - DraftKings Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. The final day of Group play is ahead of us. Gambit has locked in their spot in the playoffs. And the last two spots are up for grabs between the last 4 teams. Liquid, Entropiq, Furia, and NiP are all fighting for […]

Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers

Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]

Must-Have Late-Round Picks

The 2021 NFL season is just around the corner and fantasy drafts are in full swing at this point. Everyone knows who to pick in the first round, but what about in the last round? Or the last couple of rounds? Who are the players that you need to be looking out for as you […]

Must-Have Wide Receivers for 2021 Fantasy Football

So many players, not enough roster spots. That's often the feeling you have after wrapping up a fantasy football draft when your must-have players didn't last until your pick or your favorite sleepers were left undrafted. The solution - join at least 10 leagues and you're almost guaranteed to get them all somewhere! For those […]

Must-Have Running Backs for 2021 Fantasy Football

If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes […]

Must Have Mid-Round Draft Targets

Fantasy football draft season is in full swing. While championships aren't won solely in the draft, they can set your team up for much success during the season. While the early rounds should be used to anchor your team, it's the middle rounds that can really make or break your draft. In this article, I'll […]

Late-Round Wide Receiver Draft Values

Once you reach the late rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]

Devante Parker Bounce Back Year?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker did not look like himself during the 2020 season. He finished with 32 receptions, 438 yards, and three touchdowns in eight games. Sadly, injuries continue to hinder him and it's beginning to hurt his fantasy value. Right now, Parker should be viewed as a high-end WR4 coming into Week […]

Mid-Round Draft Values - Running Backs

Once you reach the mid-to-late rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside picks that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]
