FanDuel MMA, UFC Vegas 31 DFS Lineup Picks - Makhachev vs. Moises

UFC 264 had plenty of excitement, although the main event between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor didn't live up to the hype. After McGregor broke his leg and could not continue, it is safe to assume that a fourth encounter between these two could occur somewhere down the line, primarily since bad blood remains. However, […]

Ryan Weathers Could Return In July

San Diego Padres left-hander Ryan Weathers (ankle), who fractured a small accessory piece of bone in the back of his ankle, has been walking around fine, and a return before the end of the month hasn't been ruled out. Weathers' recovery will depend on pain tolerance. It was previously reported that the rookie southpaw wouldn't […]

Mets Have Interest In Kris Bryant

The New York Mets are among multiple teams with interest in Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant. The Cubs traded outfielder Joc Pederson to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night and probably aren't done selling as we get closer to the trade deadline. Bryant, who is eligible for free agency after the 2021 season, is […]

J.D. Davis To Be Activated On Friday

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis (finger) has joined the team in Pittsburgh, and the Mets plan to activate him from the injured list to begin the second half of the season on Friday. Davis has been on the shelf since May 3 with a sprained finger on his left hand. He was hitting […]

John Means Allows Two Runs In Latest Rehab Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (shoulder) went three-plus innings on Thursday in his rehab outing with Triple-A Norfolk and allowed a run on five hits while walking three and striking out four. Of his 74 pitches on the evening, he threw 46 for strikes. Means hasn't been sharp in his minor league rehab appearances, […]

Madison Bumgarner To Make His Return Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (shoulder) will come off the injured list to start on Friday against the Chicago Cubs to begin the second half of the season. Bumgarner landed on the injured list early in June with left shoulder discomfort, and he wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire for his fantasy owners […]

Ryan Thompson Will Throw Bullpen Session Friday Or Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Thompson (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday or Saturday. The 29-year-old was shut down for a few days on July 8 after feeling shoulder discomfort. He will begin a rehab assignment soon and could return to the Rays bullpen later this month. The Rays right-hander owned a 2.38 ERA, […]

Oliver Drake Suffers Minor Setback

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Oliver Drake (elbow) is dealing with neck/back soreness and will have a couple of days off. He was expected to begin a rehab assignment with the Rays' Florida Complex League affiliate on Tuesday but suffered a minor setback. The 34-year-old is without a timetable for a return and remains day-to-day. Drake […]

Nick Anderson Will Throw Live BP On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) will throw live batting practice in Port Charlotte on Friday. He recently threw a bullpen session last Saturday and felt good afterward. The 31-year-old has been sidelined all season due to a partially torn UCL. Anderson will continue to ramp up his activity and is expected to return […]

Latavius Murray Slated For Backup Role

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray will look to build off a decent 2020 season as he is once again slated to be the team's RB2 behind Alvin Kamara in 2021. Murray amassed 146 carries for 656 rushing yards and four scores along with 23 receptions for 176 yards and a score on 26 […]

Alvin Kamara Will Have Workhorse Role Once Again

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is coming off a 2020 season in which he posted a career-high 932 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns, and he has a chance to build on that success in 2021 as the workhorse back for New Orleans. Last season, the Kamara also posted 83 receptions (career-high) for […]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (7/16/21) - DraftKings Daily Fantasy Sports

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks.  I have been focusing on the NHL and a little bit of MLB but as we get closer to the summer months, we could see some really good CSGO tournaments pop up which means great DFS tournaments to play! As always, I […]

Taysom Hill In Contention For Starting Role

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is in contention for the starting role this season after Drew Brees retired in the offseason. Hill will compete with Jameis Winston. The 30-year-old has played three seasons with the Saints and has famously been employed as a "jack of all trades" player who can play various positions. Last […]

Jameis Winston Aims To Be NFL Starter Once Again

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will now compete for the starting job on the team after longtime starter Drew Brees called it a career this past offseason. Winston joined New Orleans last year as a backup and only managed 75 passing yards in four games played. The former first overall pick played five seasons […]

Danny Duffy Likely To Be Traded

As long as he's healthy, executives think that Kansas City Royals left-hander Danny Duffy will likely be traded in the next few weeks. Duffy missed more than a month from May to June with a forearm strain, but he has since returned from the injured list to make four short starts and one relief appearance. […]

Braves Acquire Joc Pederson From The Cubs

The Atlanta Braves acquired outfielder Joc Pederson from the Chicago Cubs on Thursday in exchange for first baseman Bryce Ball. The Cubs were always believed to be sellers, so this doesn't come as a huge surprise, but not many expected Atlanta to be buyers, especially after Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL […]

Yankees Eyeing Joey Gallo?

The New York Yankees have consistently been eyeing Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo, who is among the best position players mentioned regularly as available in this trade market with the last-place Rangers looking to rebuild. Since the sticky stuff crackdown in baseball, Gallo has the second-best OPS (1.276), behind only Shohei Ohtani. Gallo also has […]

Angels Place Griffin Canning On The Injured List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning (back) has been placed on the minor league injured list with a lower back strain Thursday, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. There's no timetable yet for his return and the significance of the injury is unknown. It's been a disappointing season for Canning, as he's posted a bloated […]

Charlie Morton Has Boosted His Trade Stock

Atlanta Braves veteran right-hander Charlie Morton is a trade candidate this summer that has really boosted his stock in the last few weeks. Especially after Ronald Acuna Jr.'s (knee) torn ACL, the Braves could be sellers at this year's trade deadline. Morton has a 3.64 ERA in 99 innings over 18 starts this year, but […]

Dwayne Haskins's Wife Facing Domestic-Violence Charge

The wife of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins is facing a domestic-violence charge stemming from an alleged assault involving Haskins that took place in a Las Vegas hotel room earlier this month. Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins is accused of punching Haskins in the mouth. Haskins reportedly had a split upper lip and a missing tooth and suffered other […]

Freddie Freeman Not Going Anywhere In A Trade

While there's a chance that the Atlanta Braves become sellers at this month's trade deadline because of all the unfortunate things that have befallen them, first baseman Freddie Freeman isn't going anywhere. Freeman is still one of the best first basemen in the league and wants to stay in Atlanta long term. The 31-year-old is […]

Carlos Carrasco Goes Two Innings In Rehab Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (hamstring) went two scoreless innings in his first rehab start with High-A Brooklyn on Thursday, throwing 27 pitches (17 for strikes). Carrasco wasn't very sharp with his command, especially his curveball, but the good news is that he came out of his first competitive outing in 2021 healthy. […]

Matt Strahm Expected Back By End Of Month

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm (knee) is expected back by the end of this month. Recovering from offseason right knee surgery, the 29-year-old southpaw has been throwing in simulated games and his return would certainly bolster a beaten Friars pitching staff. Strahm has been an anchor in the bullpen the past three seasons, appearing […]
