Brandon Allen Leads Bengals’ Passers On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen finished with 70 yards on 8-for-17 passing during the 17-13 exhibition loss to the Washington Football Team on Friday. The third-year signal-caller will likely secure his spot as Joe Burrow's backup during the 2021 campaign, although that really doesn't do much for his fantasy stock unless there's an injury. He […]

Kyle Schwarber Reaches Four Times Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber reached in all four of his plate appearances Friday night, going 2-for-2 with a double, two walks, and a run scored. He's seemed in top form despite all the time he missed with injury, as he's reached base in 11 of his first 18 plate appearances for Boston. Schwarber […]

Xander Bogaerts Homers Friday Against Rangers

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts homered for the second consecutive day Friday night, knocking his 20th long ball of the year against the Texas Rangers. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the game. Bogaerts now has hits in 10 of his last 12 games, with five of those being multi-hit affairs. He's hearing […]

Chris Sale Throws Five Scoreless

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale looked like his old self Friday night, throwing five scoreless innings against the Texas Rangers. Sale allowed five hits and one walk while striking out five batters. He now has a 1.80 ERA across his first 10 innings of the season and sports a 2-0 record. Sale has […]

Jarred Kelenic Wears Golden Sombrero

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic returned from a day off Friday, but didn't appear to be reaping the rewards of the extra rest, going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts against the Houston Astros. Kelenic has shown signs of life of late, but he still has just a .516 OPS for the season and has struck out […]

Tyler Boyd Makes “Love” List

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd recently landed on ESPN fantasy guru Matthew Berry's list of players he "loves" heading into the upcoming campaign. While many managers have soured on Boyd, primarily with the additions of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins over the last few years, it's hard to dismiss a player who had back-to-back […]

Ty France Homers For Second Straight Day

Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France went deep against the Houston Astros Friday night, providing a rare bright spot in an otherwise dismal 12-3 dismantling at the hands of the division leaders. France went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, and two runs scored. The solo shot was his 14th of the year, and […]

Kyle Seager Homers Again Friday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager hit another home run Friday night, his only hit in three at-bats against the Houston Astros. The solo shot is his 28th of the season, bringing him into a tie with Jose Ramirez for second-most home runs by a third baseman this year. 11 of those home runs have […]

Tee Higgins Makes An Appearance On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins saw the field sparingly during the preseason loss to Washington. The 22-year-old had one catch on Friday evening, turning into an 11-yard gain. Although this showing was a small sample size, it only adds to his impressive offseason thus far. Higgins has reportedly been a training camp standout, routinely […]

Yusei Kikuchi Crushed Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi didn't handle the potent Houston Astros lineup well Friday night, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks in just 2 2/3 innings. He struck out two batters and allowed three home runs. Kikuchi left a lot of pitches over the middle in this one, and the Astros […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Goes Down With Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. (hamstring) was forced to leave early during Thursday's practice. It's uncertain if Bowden will be able to suit up for their next preseason matchup. In the meantime, Jakeem Grant should get increased snaps as he attempts to pass Bowden on the depth chart. Regardless, neither Bowden or Grant […]

Emmanuel Sanders Continues Dealing With Foot Issue

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) has been in and out of practice lately. He continues dealing with a lingering foot issue that could cost him playing time. The Bills don't expect Sanders to be sidelined to begin the season. Although, he could miss their upcoming preseason matchup. Sanders was brought in to be […]

Darrel Williams Possibly Dealing With Concussion

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams (concussion) suffered a head injury during Friday's preseason clash against the Arizona Cardinals. The team's backfield took a beating in this one, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire also succumbing to a sprained ankle.

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/21/21): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Two-game slate on Friday night in the WNBA, and we'll likely see Breanna Stewart for the first time since the Olympics. In addition to the Storm and Liberty facing off, we get a Fever/Wings game that should be...a basketball game. Sorry, hard to hype up any Fever games at this point. In this article, I'll […]

Travis d'Arnaud Leads The Charge On Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is having a fantastic Friday considering the events that have happened. First off, he signed a two-year extension worth $16 million. Then he went deep later in the day against the Baltimore Orioles. He would finish 2-for-3 at the plate with an important two-run home run in the 3-0 victory. […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Sprains Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was injured during Friday's preseason bout against the Arizona Cardinals. The sophomore didn't last long before suffering a sprained ankle, although fortunately, he avoided anything more serious. Selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the former LSU Tiger appeared in 13 games during his […]

Jorge Soler Slugs 17th Homer In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has somewhat improved with the bat since the trade in July. On Friday, Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Keegan Akin in the third inning. A run that was fairly important in the 3-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. That home run marked Soler's 17th long […]

Max Fried Completes First Career Shutout

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was nearly perfect against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. He went nine innings, five hits allowed, zero earned runs, no walks, and four strikeouts in the 3-0 victory. This was Fried's first career MLB shutout and the young lefty only needed 90 pitches to do it. After this outing, […]

Taylor Heinicke Has Solid Performance

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke had an impressive performance against the Cincinnati Bengals as he completed 11-of-13 passes for 80 yards, and added 26 rushing yards on four attempts. The 28-year-old seems to have the No. 2 spot on the depth chart locked up as Kyle Allen continues to get back into the swing […]

Joe Mixon Gets Some Action On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon got some work on Friday night during the preseason loss to the Washington Football Team. Although the former Oklahoma Sooner didn't do much, racking up only four yards on two attempts while pulling in a catch for eight yards, it was still a welcome sight, especially after he missed […]

Dyami Brown Proving To Be Dangerous Deep Threat

In preseason action against the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown showed some flashes of what we can expect from the rookie this season. Brown finished with two receptions for 33 yards, one of which was a deep ball that gained 29 yards on the play. The former North Carolina standout has […]

Ja’Marr Chase Struggles During Preseason Play

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase struggled during the preseason loss to Washington. The rookie was targeted three times on Friday night, dropping all of them. After getting off to a slow start during training camp, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft didn't do much to increase his fantasy stock. Nonetheless, […]

Jaret Patterson Impressive Once Again

Washington Football Team running back Jaret Patterson had another solid outing in the team's second preseason game. The undrafted free agent carried the ball 16 times for 71 yards and had three receptions for 25 yards. After another performance that turned some heads, the 21-year-old could be pushing Peyton Barber out of the No. 3 […]

Larry Fitzgerald Doesn’t Have The Urge To Return

Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald hasn't ruled out retirement, at least in an official capacity. However, the veteran also didn't appear too enthusiastic about a potential return, recently commenting during an interview on Sirius XM that he doesn't "have the urge to play right now." Nonetheless, even if he does come back for his 18th season, […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Michigan New Holland 250 (8/21/21)

On Saturday, the NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Michigan. Neither Austin Cindric nor A.J. Allmendinger have done particularly well here in the past, so we might have us a pretty wide-open race. Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why I'll be breaking down the […]

David Fletcher Singles and Walks Friday

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher went 1-for-3 during Friday's 9-1 blowout loss to the Cleveland Indians. He singled in a run in the third inning and added a walk to his batting line.

Antonio Gibson Finishes With 47 Total Yards

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson was solid in the team's second preseason game with the limited playing time he was given. Gibson carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and added two receptions for 19 yards. It was encouraging to see the sophomore's usage in this game, as he is clearly the […]

Courtland Sutton Wants To Play In One Preseason Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (knee) would like to see some action during the preseason. "We're still talking about it, figuring which one we want to do, but definitely going to play in one of them," commented Sutton when asked about the possibility of playing in at least one exhibition before Week 1 begins […]

Jameis Winston To Start Against Jaguars

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will get the start during Monday's preseason matchup against the Jaguars. Winston and fellow signal-caller, Taysom Hill, continue to battle for the coveted No. 1 spot on the depth chart. However, it appears neither man has done enough to make head coach Sean Payton's decision any easier heading into […]

Franmil Reyes Records Five RBI Friday

Cleveland Indians outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes had a terrific day at the dish on Friday, smashing a first-inning three-run home run and collecting five RBI. He also added a single and a run in five at-bats. He has been a mainstay in the heart of the Indians lineup, with Reyes having his best season since […]
