Ji-Man Choi Hits Three-Run Double In Friday’s Loss

Tampa Bay Rays' first baseman Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-2 with a three-run double during Friday's 10-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He pinch-hit for Jordan Luplow in the seventh inning, and with the bases loaded, Choi blasted a base clearing double to give the Rays a 4-3 lead. The 30-year-old returned from a hamstring injury […]

Michael Wacha Fans Six In No-Decision

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Michael Wacha allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out six across five innings during Friday's 10-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He did not factor into the decision. The 30-year-old limited the Tigers to one, and his lone mistake was surrendering a solo shot to […]

Nathaniel Lowe Has Two RBI Game

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a nice piece for this offense down the stretch. On Friday, Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-RBI double and two walks in the 10-5 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers didn't have much of a chance after the A's put up six runs in the second […]

Glenn Otto Rocked By Athletics

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto was horrendous during Friday's outing versus the Oakland Athletics. He went 3 1/3 innings, eight hits allowed, eight earned runs, one walk, and five strikeouts. Otto kept the ball in the park, but couldn't slow down the Athletics' bats. This was his first bad outing of his young career. […]

Freddie Freeman Collects Two Hits On Friday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has been nearly impossible to slow down with the bat this season. He has been on fire in the second half and that continued on Friday. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a single in the 6-2 win over the Miami Marlins. The veteran first baseman has given […]

Ian Anderson Fans Nine In Win Over Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was tough to hit during Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Anderson went five innings, five hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and nine strikeouts in the 6-2 victory. He has pitched well since coming off the injured list and doesn't appear to have missed a beat. Anderson […]

Elijah Moore Should Produce WR3 Value

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore will be making his NFL debut in Week 1 versus the Carolina Panthers. The second round pick from this year's draft should see plenty of targets this season. He could get involved right away with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) questionable for Week 1. The […]

Corey Davis Has Solid Upside For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will likely end up with the most fantasy value out of anyone on this roster this season. Davis is coming off a season where he produced 65 receptions, 984 yards, and five touchdowns. Now, he'll be the main focus with Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) out and Keelan Cole (knee) […]

Michael Carter Worth Stashing, Not Starting Versus Panthers

New York Jets running back Michael Carter will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the lead back, while Ty Johnson figures to do most of the receiving work. It'll be interesting […]

Ty Johnson Not Trustworthy For Week 1

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson appears to be stuck in a three-back committee to open the season. Veteran back Tevin Coleman was named the starter, while Johnson and Michael Carter should get involved as well. Johnson finished with 254 yards on the ground and 99 yards through the air in limited action last […]

Zach Wilson Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will make his NFL debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He won the starting quarterback job out of the preseason, but there wasn't basically any competition. Wilson looked good, but wasn't always playing first string defenders. He'll also be without his main receiver in Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) […]

Tevin Coleman Named Lead Back For Opener

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was recently named the lead back for their matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. However, he'll likely be stuck in a three-back committee with Ty Johnson and rookie Michael Carter. None of these backs were able to separate themselves during the preseason. It's likely going to […]

Keelan Cole Banged Up For Opener

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for their Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets are already going to be without veteran wideout Jamison Crowder due to COVID-19. Now, Cole will need to have his status monitored up to kickoff. Right now, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore […]

Jonnu Smith Has Tough Matchup In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith will not have an easy challenge to open the season. He'll get the Miami Dolphins defense that allowed seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Smith is coming off career highs with 448 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Although, he should be viewed as a high-end […]

Hunter Henry A TE2 For Week 1

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry will not open the season with a favorable matchup. He gets a Miami Dolphins defense that allowed the seventh-fewest amount of scores to tight ends last season. Henry finished with 60 receptions, 613 yards, and four touchdowns in 2020. He is a capable option at tight end, but […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Not An Ideal Option For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will be making his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He was a fourth round pick of New England during this year's draft. Stevenson was impressive in camp and likely earned himself a legitimate role in the backfield this season. However, he'll draw a tough […]

Kendrick Bourne A Sneaky PPR Choice

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne could find himself with intriguing value heading into Week 1. The Patriots could be without starting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (shoulder) for their matchup with the Miami Dolphins. That means, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne should be asked to pick up the slack. Last season, Bourne finished with […]

Tanner Houck Ineffective Against White Sox

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck was ineffective against the Chicago White Sox Friday night, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings. The big blow was a Jose Abreu three-run home run, leaving Houck with his fourth loss of the season. He's still in search of […]

Jakobi Meyers Is A Intriguing PPR Option For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was one of the few bright spots for this offense last season. He finished with 59 receptions and 729 yards in 14 games (nine starts) with New England last season. Meyers averaged 7.3 targets per game over his last 11 outings of 2020. He'll get a Miami Dolphins […]

Xander Bogaerts Has Two Hits In Return

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts returned from the COVID list for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox, and he went 2-for-3 with a walk from the fourth spot in the lineup. Bogaerts showed no signs of rust despite not playing since August 31, and he should be right back in lineups as soon […]

Bobby Dalbec Again Puts On A Show

Boston Red Sox infielder Bobby Dalbec was once again the bright spot in the Red Sox offense Friday, as he went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, and two runs scored against the Chicago White Sox. Dalbec is slashing .345/.424/.805 with 10 home runs over his past 30 games, and he has a […]

James White Has Lousy Week 1 Matchup

New England Patriots running back James White was not effective in the passing game last season. Despite having Cam Newton behind center, New England couldn't find a way to get White the ball. He finished with 375 yard through the air, which was his lowest since the 2015 season. White will begin the season with […]

Josh Rogers Delivers Quality Start

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josh Rogers made his second start of the season Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he delivered a quality start, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out one batter. Rogers has now allowed five runs over 12 1/3 innings in two games […]

Josh Bell Homers In Return To Pittsburgh

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell played in Pittsburgh for the first time since being traded from the Pirates Friday, and he fittingly smashed a solo home run, his 26th of the season. He also walked twice in four plate appearances. Bell has raised his season OPS to .812, which would be the second-highest mark […]

Alex Cobb Throws Sim Game Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (wrist) threw a simulated game on Friday and everything went well, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. He's set to throw again tomorrow and if everything goes as planned, manager Joe Maddon said he'll rejoin the rotation shortly after. Cobb has been a good surprise for fantasy managers, […]

Ja’Marr Chase Beginning Rookie Season Against Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will begin his inaugural season on Sunday against Minnesota. The former LSU Tiger was picked with the fifth overall selection in the NFL Draft, reuniting him with former collegiate teammate Joe Burrow. He has plenty of hype moving ahead, although a rocky preseason filled with dropped passes has significantly […]

Joe Burrow Back For Sophomore Campaign Versus Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will begin his sophomore season against the visiting Vikings on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Burrow was one of the league's most impactful rookies during the 2020 campaign. However, a left knee injury suffered back in November ended his year. With his first season now behind him, the former LSU […]

Nelson Agholor Is A Limited Participant On Friday

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice. Agholor missed practice on Thursday with an ankle injury, but it's a good sign to see him get some activity in on Friday. The veteran is currently listed as questionable versus the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, but […]
