Joe Barlow Tagged For Five Runs

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow was unable to shut the door against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He wasn't even able to get through an inning before allowing five runs (two earned) with two walks in the 9-5 loss. It was partly Barlow's fault for walking two batters, but after that the Rangers defense […]

Justin Steele Gets Win On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele threw five shutout innings in Wednesday's victory versus the Minnesota Twins. The lefty allowed one hit, zero runs, three walks and struck out three.

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: It'll probably be a while before we truly know who the quarterback is in New Orleans, but the fact he re-signed in New Orleans back in March means that Winston had to think he had a very, very good shot at winning the job over Taysom Hill. […]

Cam Newton (QB, NE) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~250 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~189 ANALYSIS: Cam Newton is being drafted as the QB32 right now. Two big reasons for that: first, Cam Newton is viewed as an injury risk and fantasy managers are baking that concern into their drafting right now, even though he played 15 of 16 games last year. […]

Ryan McMahon Drives In A Run On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies Third baseman Ryan McMahon went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and two walks in a 9-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored, a walk, and a strikeout in a 9-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Rodgers put the Rockies on the board in the top of the fourth inning with a solo homer, his 11th of the […]

Ty Johnson (RB, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~205 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~236 ANALYSIS: After being waived by the Detroit Lions two games into last season, Ty Johnson was picked up by his current team, the New York Jets. In 11 games last year for the Jets, Johnson rushed 54 times for 254 yards and scored one touchdown, averaging a 17% snap […]

Kyle Freeland Exits Early With Left Hip Impingement

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was given a no-decision on Wednesday after walking a pair of batters and striking out one over one-plus inning.

Ketel Marte Collects Three Hits On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 3-for-5 with two runs scored during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres.

Sergio Garcia Returns To East Lake For First Time Since 2017

2017 was the last time Sergio Garcia qualified for the Tour Championship, and put up a top-10 finish. After being cut from the Northern Trust, Garcia needed a big week at the BMW Championship, and he had just that. A T6 finish saw Garcia sneak into the Tour Championship in the 28th position in the […]

Luke Weaver Picks Up The Win In Return

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (3-3) allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out three across six innings during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres.

Leonard Fournette (RB, TB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~85 ANALYSIS: Can someone explain Leonard Fournette's ADP to me? It feels like the fantasy community is acting like the playoffs never happened. I understand those stats don't count for fantasy, but it's not like they don't matter when assessing Fournette going forward. Yes, Fournette averaged just 11 points-per-game […]

Wade Miley Struggles In Loss To Cardinals

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley struggled in a 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of a Wednesday doubleheader. Miley allowed five runs on 12 hits over four innings of work while striking out two and walking one. It was a rough start for Miley, who coughed up three homers in the […]

Louis Oosthuizen Too Risky In Tour Championship

After three straight top-three finishes, Louis Oosthuizen has been battling a neck injury that kept him out of the Wyndham Championship and Northern Trust. Oosthuizen returned for the BMW Championship, and put up a T38 finish. Oosthuizen will start at -3, but due to his injury, and BMW performance, he isn't one to seek out […]

Josh VanMeter Homers, Drives In Three Runs

Arizona Diamondbacks' second baseman Josh VanMeter went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two walks during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres. He crushed a two-run shot off Yu Darvish in the fourth inning to give the Diamondbacks a 4-0 lead. He added a bases-loaded walk to drive in three runs […]

Tony Finau Has Great Chance To Win Tour Championship

Tony Finau will start in the second position at the Tour Championship, eight-under par. However, even with his starting position, he isn't one of the two most expensive DFS players on most platforms. This gives Finau a ton of value. Finau has two career top-10 finishes at East Lake in four career Tour Championship starts. […]

Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~177 ANALYSIS: The former Memphis Tiger will have his work cut out for him in Philadelphia, with an explosive incumbent starter (Miles Sanders) and plenty of NFL veterans with playing experience ahead of him (Boston Scott). A mobile quarterback (Jalen Hurts) and questionable offensive line further complicate the […]

Patrick Reed Returns In Tour Championship

Patrick Reed returns to the PGA Tour at the Tour Championship after a hospital stay for bilateral pneumonia. However, Reed revealed today he was later diagnosed with COVID-19. Without playing in either of the first two playoff events, Reed held onto a Tour Championship spot, by just 42 points over K.H. Lee for the final […]

Giovani Bernard (RB, TB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~176 ANALYSIS: For years, Giovani Bernard was a thorn in Joe Mixon's side. Despite being a valuable running back, Bernard was out there in passing situations and the two-minute offense. At age 29, Bernard is now in Tampa Bay, and reports out of camp have him pegged with a similar role […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~130 ANALYSIS: I distinctly remember the moment Ezekiel Elliott was ruled inactive in Week 15 of the 2020 season. All week, I had been advising fantasy managers to bench Zeke. Then, suddenly, every single start/sit question I was asked had the same answer: "Don't care who the other guy is, […]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (9/2/21) - DraftKings Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Interesting first day of Group D it was, First map for Gambit was kept very close with TeamOne and then Map 2 ended in a blowout. Entropiq swept FURIA and Lack1 killed it at his cheap price. Lastly, ELiGe broke the slate […]

Collin Morikawa Has Been Disappointing In The Playoffs

Entering the FedEx Cup Playoffs in the number one position, Collin Morikawa hasn't been able to hold that ranking. Morikawa missed the cut at the first playoff event, The Northern Trust, and finished T63 last week at the BMW Championship. Those two less-than-impressive finishes have seen Morikawa fall to 11th in the standings, and he […]

Matt Duffy Scratched On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Duffy (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He is dealing with neck stiffness, so hopefully it's just a day-to-day type of issue. In the meantime, Andrew Romine will cover second base and bat ninth against righty Joe Ryan. Romine isn't in a favorable part of the […]
