Giancarlo Stanton Homers For Ninth Time In August

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an RBI single in Monday's loss to the Angels. Stanton's homer was a tape-measure shot, one that traveled 457 feet at a whopping 115.2 MPH. It's his ninth homer of August and the fifth time he's left the years in the […]

Cowboys Will "Begin Exploring" Cam Newton

The Dallas Cowboys will reportedly "begin exploring" free agent quarterback Cam Newton. Newton was just released by the New England Patriots on Tuesday morning, while the Cowboys released both Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci, leaving them with just Cooper Rush on the depth chart behind starter Dak Prescott. Given that Prescott is recovering from an […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~106 ANALYSIS: Cooks is the ultimate trailblazer. He played three years for the Saints, one for the Pats, two for the Rams, and last season, he donned Texans threads for the first time in his career. He barely misses time (three games in the past six seasons) […]

Austin Ekeler - The RB King Of Pass-Catching

Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at running back Austin Ekeler of the Los Angeles Chargers by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021. Ekeler is a player who is pretty polarizing in the fantasy community because he doesn't have the […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/31/21): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Big night of WNBA action on Tuesday, as we've got four games on the docket. Chicago vs. Phoenix to close the night is the big one, but plenty of intrigue in the early games as well, including the Sun facing the Mystics in what should be a good one. In this article, I'll be providing […]

Cooper Kupp (WR, LAR) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~60 ANALYSIS: Cooper Kupp is one of this year’s premier bounce-back candidates. He and the rest of the Rams’ offense will enjoy the upgrade to gunslinger Matthew Stafford from the worst version yet of dink-and-dunk king Jared Goff. The 28-year-old is also feeling fine after being slowed in 2020 by knee bursitis. Kupp caught 92 balls […]

Corey Kluber Allows Five Runs In Return

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber struggled in his return to the rotation Monday against the Angels. Kluber pitched just four innings, surrendering five runs on five hits while walking a pair of batters. On the plus side, the veteran right-hander did strike out six batters and generated a strong 34 percent CSW. Kluber […]

Trey Lance (QB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~137 ANALYSIS: The San Fransisco 49ers gave up a ton of assets to move up to the third pick in the 2021 draft to select quarterback Trey Lance out of North Dakota State. There will be competition for the starting job between Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, but it seems that the […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: When the Seattle Seahawks drafted running back Rashaad Penny in the first round of the 2018 draft, there were high expectations for the former San Diego State standout. Significant injuries and the emergence of Chris Carson led Penny to start off his career in a very underwhelming fashion. […]

David Johnson (RB, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Not only did the Texans lose their starting QB with Deshaun Watson--not confirmed, but most probably--missing the whole 2021 season and probably getting traded, but they doubled down on that misery by signing two RBs to build a three-headed-monster backfield. To David Johnson, they added Phillip Lindsay and Mark Ingram […]

Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: Bills Beat Writer for The Athletic, Joe Buscaglia, believes that "if he continues to improve, [Zack Moss] could be a 60 to 70 percent snap player in 2021." He only eclipsed a 60% snap share twice his rookie season, but that's likely a result of a […]

Kenyan Drake (RB, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas has a promising tailback in Josh Jacobs. In both his freshman and sophomore seasons, Jacobs was able to finish at least as the RB21 and that happened in his first year as a pro. Last time out, though, Jacobs excelled to greater levels and put […]

David Sills V Released By The Giants

The New York Giants released wide receiver David Sills V on Tuesday. The 25-year-old had a strong preseason overall, catching seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown over three games. Sills faced long odds making the Giants roster with a deep wide receiver corps that included Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney, […]

James Conner (RB, ARI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~93 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Conner leaves Pittsburgh after spending the past four seasons there and coming virtually out of nowhere to turn into a fantastic tailback for the Steelers in years past. While he has not been the healthiest of players out there (he has missed 14 games in his […]

Antonio Brown (WR, TB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: After joining Tampa Bay in 2020, Antonio Brown posted a 45-483-4 line over eight games. Doubling that puts his 2021 numbers at 90-966-8, plenty respectable for a fantasy 10th-rounder. OK, perhaps this simplistic projection shows why I never got past Algebra II in high school. Extrapolations […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~144 ANALYSIS: Even with the addition of Emmanuel Sanders and with Gabriel Davis seemingly taking on a heavier role, PFF still projects Beasley to rack up the second-most PPR points in Buffalo, only behind Stefon Diggs with a 198+ FP projection. He hasn't had an ADP above 145 dating back to his debut all the […]

Cooper Rush Wins The Cowboys Backup Job

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has won the Cowboys backup job. The team released both Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci on Tuesday, leaving Rush as the only quarterback on the roster behind starter Dak Prescott. Prescott is coming off a severe ankle injury and dealt with shoulder issues throughout camp and the preseason, so the […]

Washington Releases Jonathan Williams

The Washington Football Team has released running back Jonathan Williams. The 27-year-old had just one carry for five yards in Detroit last year, and in 2019 he finished with 49 carries for 235 yards and one touchdown in Indianapolis. It is not shocking that Williams was cut, with much of the reasoning being the emergence […]

Nick Solak Goes Deep Off Rockies

Texas Rangers infielder Nick Solak has put together a nice stretch since returning to the team a few weeks ago. On Monday, he went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run to help secure the 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. It was his 11th of the season and Solak has been a nice source of […]

Garrett Gilbert Released By The Cowboys

Quarterback Garrett Gilbert was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. Second-year signal caller Ben DiNucci was let go as well. Gilbert looked set to open the season as Dak Prescott's backup, but the Cowboys have apparently decided to go with Cooper Rush in that role instead. Gilbert was decent as a fill-in quarterback last […]

Leody Taveras Hits First Homer Of The Season

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras was horrendous at the plate heading into Monday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. In fact, Taveras was 4-for-65 at the plate, but finally come through on Monday. He went 2-for-3 with a home run and double in the 4-3 victory. The Rangers are likely going to give Taveras plenty of […]

Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~142 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: The Jets' highly-touted second-round pick out of Ole Miss has impressed in camp and has seemingly vaulted Denzel Mims and potentially even Keelan Cole on the depth chart. He's working with the first-team offense now; Jets beat writers are all worked up, and head coach Robert Saleh […]

Washington Cuts Antonio Gandy-Golden

The Washington Football Team has cut wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 2020 fourth-round pick had a solid camp, but a loaded wide receiver room in Washington was ultimately the deciding factor in his departure. The 23-year-old should be able to find an opportunity to play elsewhere, as his 6-foot-4 […]

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~129 ANALYSIS: Henry Ruggs III is ready to take on a bigger role in his sophomore year, and the Raiders will need him to do exactly that. Nelson Agholor's departure leaves 82 vacated targets in the Las Vegas offense, and now he only has Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow, John Brown as his […]

Joe Barlow Records Third Save Of The Season

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) returned on Monday and was thrown right into action versus the Colorado Rockies. He through one scoreless inning in the ninth to shut the door and secure the 4-3 victory. It was his third save of the season and Barlow is showing no reason to not trust him. […]

Eric Ebron (TE, PIT) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~194 ANALYSIS: A TE1 getting off draft boards at a TE3 price? I'll take two! That's Eric Ebron for you, folks, and that also is a nonsensical thing taking place in the summer of the 2021 year of our Lord. Simply put - Ebron's price is way down […]

A.J. Alexy Makes Easy Work Of Rockies

Texas Rangers starting pitcher A.J. Alexy made his MLB debut against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. He went five scoreless innings, one hit allowed, three walks, and four strikeouts in the 4-3 victory. The 23-year-old looked solid here, but take it with a grain of salt because it's the Rockies lineup outside of Denver. Fantasy […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~184 ANALYSIS: Last year was Shepard's best in terms of efficiency with a 9.94 YPR mark to go with a career-high 73.3% Catch Rate while putting up a 90/66/656/3 receiving yard line to go with 49 yards and a single touchdown on the ground to put the […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker gets a bad rap. His career has been quite tumultuous with injuries and underperformances but he finally showed life in 2019 with a high-end WR2 season, averaging 15.4 PPG and finishing as the WR11 overall! Parker displayed his upside in this season and then […]
