Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is reportedly feeling good heading into the 2021-22 season, crediting his offseason fitness regimen. The veteran agreed to a $32 million deal a few weeks ago to keep him with the team for the next two years. When available, the 30-year-old veteran has been a relatively reliable fantasy option, […]

Trevor Story Leaves Game Early With Leg Injury, Expected To Be Fine

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (leg) was removed from the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs in the bottom of the 10th inning after aggravating "a leg injury of some kind," according to manager Bud Black.

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez remained hot at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. He went 2-for-3 with a double, single, and a walk in the 7-2 loss.

Stewart Cink Has Value At BMW Championship

Stewart Cink got back on track last week with his first top-25 finish since his win at the RBC Heritage in April. That was Cink's second win on the PGA Tour season, the main reason his Tour Championship spot is safe this week. However, Cink has great DFS value this week. His very cheap DFS […]

T.J. Hockenson Working Through Injured Shoulder

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) is expected to be ready for the start of the season. The 24-year-old is currently dealing with an AC joint issue and has been now for a few weeks.

Texas Rangers outfielder Jason Martin was the only source of offensive production for this lineup on Wednesday. He went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the 7-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Jake Latz Has Lackluster MLB Debut

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jake Latz did not produce an ideal MLB debut versus the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. He went 4 2/3 innings, five hits allowed, three earned runs, and four strikeouts in the 7-2 loss. All of the runs charged to Latz were done by the long ball on Wednesday. He gave up […]

Kevin Na On Fire Heading Into BMW Championship

It was a third top-10 finish in the last four starts for Kevin Na last week at the Northern Trust. With the finish, Na jumped six spots in the FedEx Cup standings, all but securing his spot in the Tour Championship. In previous weeks, Na has been elite with his irons, hitting over 68% of […]

Scottie Scheffler Looking To Hold Onto Tour Championship Spot

Scottie Scheffler dropped from 21st in the FedEx Cup standings, to 24th after a T43 at the Northern Trust last week. The top 30 will make the Tour Championship next week, and Scheffler looks to be one of them. However, to secure his spot, he will need to play well this week. When Scheffler is […]

Shane Lowry Too Cheap To Ignore At BMW Championship

It was a T11 finish for Shane Lowry at The Northern Trust last week, making it four straight top-25 finishes for him. It also extends Lowry's made cut streak to 13 straight, very impressive. His DFS price is incredibly low for a guy who has played as consistently as he has this season. Lowry is […]

Brandon Lowe Launches 30th Homer on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo homer during a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a go-ahead, two-run double in the eighth inning and a strikeout. He was also caught stealing. The veteran has been a surprise fantasy force this season, slashing .299/.366/.530 with 19 home runs, 73 […]

Cethan Carter To Miss A Few Weeks

Miami Dolphins tight end Cethan Carter (knee) is expected to be sidelined roughly a week or two. He'll miss the rest of the preseason, but Carter might be available for Week 1. He signed a three year deal worth $7.8 million over the offseason. Carter is expected to depth at the tight end spot. Mike […]

Jake McGee Earns Exciting Save Wednesday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee made things interesting in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Mets. McGee came on to pitch the ninth inning up by a run.
