Kellen Mond Battling For Backup Job

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kellen Mond will battle for the QB2 role on the team with Jake Browning this weekend in the Vikings final preseason game. The rookie got off to a slow start in training camp after being placed on the COVID list and his preseason performance has been uneven at best. Mond final four […]

Curtis Samuel Increasing Workload At Practice

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) continues to be held out of team drills at practice. He remained on the sidelines on Wednesday, but the workload he is handling is progressively increasing. The coaching staff has said they would ease the 25-year-old back into things, however, it would be in Samuel's best interest […]

Jake Browning Has Inside Track For Backup Job

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jake Browning could have the inside track at being the team's QB2. Browning has been battling in camp with rookie Kellen Mond but neither have impressed during preseason play. Mond had a strong opportunity last weekend but his final four drives resulted in three-and-out drives. Browning has been inaccurate at times but […]

Xander Schauffele is an Excellent Option at Caves Valley

Caves Valley appears to be a fantastic fit for Xander Schauffele. Over his last 36 rounds, the recent Olympic Gold medalist ranks fourth in strokes gained par fives, seventh in sand saves, fourth in three putt avoidance, and sixth in driving distance. Schauffele has also experienced a great deal of success of Bent-grass greens, and […]

Dylan Moore Slashing Just .118/.268/.118 In August

Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Dylan Moore has had an extremely rough year at the plate. Over 97 games, he's slashing .178/.276/.330 with 10 home runs, 18 stolen bases, 37 RBI and 31 runs. He's been especially cold in August, slashing .118/.268/.118 with no extra-base hits over 34 at-bats. Moore's only value has come with his […]

Cole Kmet Still Not Practicing

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (hamstring) missed another day of practice as the team prepares for its third and final preseason game against the Titans. The second-year tight end has been dealing with the injury for over a week now and is not expected to play this weekend. Week 1 is still three weeks […]

Andy Dalton Won't Play Against Titans

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton will not play this weekend against the Titans. Head coach Matt Nagy has been steadfast in his decision to start Dalton in Week 1 against the Rams and will keep his QB1 on ice in the team's third preseason game against the Titans. The veteran passer has been praised by […]

Nick Castellanos Likely To Opt Out Of His Contract

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos is likely to opt out of his contract at the end of the 2021 season, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman. He has two years and $34 million left on his contract after this year, but he will be primed for a much more lucrative deal as a free agent […]

Nick Foles To See Plenty Of Snaps This Weekend

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles is slated to play the entire second half of the team's third preseason game this weekend against the Titans. All eyes have been fixed on the team's decision to start Andy Dalton over rookie Justin Fields while Foles has been the third wheel. The veteran has barely seen the field […]

Didi Gregorius Tallies Two Hits In Tuesday's Loss

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius had a solid game in the team's 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 in the game and scored the team's only run. Gregorius has had a rough 2021 season, battling multiple injuries and struggling to find consistency at the plate when active. Over 73 […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Triples, Scores A Run On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes helped the team defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Tuesday. He went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run scored in the game. Hayes has been struggling at the plate over the last two months, but he's now recorded at least one hit in 10 of his […]

Jurickson Profar Swats Rare Home Run

San Diego Padres utilityman Jurickson Profar drew a walk and crushed a two-run home run in two at-bats Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Entering to play first base as part of a double switch, Profar's long ball was one of three hits for the Friars in the feeble 5-2 loss. Along with a recent […]

Max Muncy Hitless Over His Last Three Games

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy has been slumping a bit at the plate so far in August. He's hitting just .203 this month and he's gone 0-for-11 over his last three games. However, he has still been producing solid power numbers as he has six home runs and a .522 slugging percentage in August. […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Swipes 24th Bag

San Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. went 0-for-3 Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers but drew a walk and stole his 24th base. Since his four-hit outburst upon returning from the injured list on August 15, El Niño is just 3-for-25 (.120 average) with a homer in his past seven contests. Despite multiple IL […]

Corey Seager Slashing .306/.388/.500 In August

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager has been hitting well since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list in late July. Seager was sidelined for over two months with a fractured right hand. He made his long-awaited return to the Dodgers on July 30. Over 20 games in August, he has slashed .306/.388/.500 […]

Webb Simpson Not the Best Option at Caves Valley

I have my concerns about any player that is below average off the tee in this field at Caves Valley, and Webb Simpson certainly fits that bill. Of the 70 players competing this week, Simpson ranks 48th in strokes gained off the tee and 63rd in driving distance over his last 36 rounds. The former […]

Expect an Exhale from Cameron Smith at BMW Championship

Last week at the Northern Trust, Cameron Smith lost in a playoff in heartbreaking fashion. While it was an excellent ball-striking week for the Australian, Smith has not shown us enough consistency in that department for me to have any confidence that such a performance is repeatable the next week. The course fit is not […]

Matthew Boyd Set To Return On Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) is "penciled in" to start Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. Boyd has been sidelined since mid-June due to elbow discomfort. He'll be welcomed back against one of the league's top offenses in the Blue Jays, making him a risky start […]

Kevin Kisner Should Not Be Considered at Caves Valley

While Kevin Kisner is often an excellent option on shorter courses, I have my concerns about the four-time PGA Tour winner on longer courses due to his below average length off the tee and long iron play. Over his last 36 rounds, Kisner ranks in the bottom ten of this field in strokes gained off […]

Yadier Molina Will Retire After 2022 Season

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina announced on Wednesday that 2022 will be his final season in the MLB. The news comes one day after he signed a one-year, $10 million extension with the Cardinals. Molina has had an historic run with the Cardinals, dating back to his rookie year with the team back in […]

Ian Happ Sitting In Game 1 Of Wednesday's Doubleheader

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies. Left-hander Austin Gomber is on the mound for the Rockies in the game. The left-handed Happ has struggled significantly against same-handed matchups this year. He has slashed just .162/.253/.297 against lefties while slashing .205/.314/.379 […]

Caves Valley Is Not the Best Fit for Jordan Spieth

While Jordan Spieth certainly has the game to compete anywhere, Caves Valley is not an ideal fit for his skillset. Compared to other players in his price range, Spieth is by far the worst mid to long iron player, ranking 64th out of 70 players in this field in proximity from 200 yards plus. The […]

Kyle Tucker Activated, Starting Against Royals

The Houston Astros activated outfielder Kyle Tucker from the injured list on Tuesday and he is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. He's playing right field and batting seventh in the game, one spot behind Alex Bregman (quad), who is also making his return in the game. Tucker was […]

Marc Leishman an Appealing High Risk High Reward Option at BMW Championship

Marc Leishman is certainly a risky player to roster, and he has definitely let down more fantasy managers this season than he has pleased. With that being said, this is a great buy-low spot for the six-time PGA Tour winner. Leishman has proven before that he can win on longer courses with narrow fairways and […]

Michael Brantley Getting A Breather On Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is getting the day off on Wednesday as the team faces Mike Minor and the Kansas City Royals. Aledmys Diaz and Kyle Tucker are covering the corner infield spots with Diaz slotted into Brantley's usual No. 2 spot in the lineup. Brantley is batting .314 on the year, which is […]

Akil Baddoo Sitting Against Lefty On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against left-hander Jon Lester and the St. Louis Cardinals. Derek Hill is getting the start in center field and batting leadoff in the game. The left-handed Baddoo has hit significantly better against righties than lefties this year. He has a .279/.349/.528 […]

Lars Nootbaar Out Of The Lineup On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar is absent from the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers. The team is going with Dylan Carlson, Harrison Bader and Tommy Edman in the outfield. Nootbaar has been a regular in the starting lineup lately, so it's a bit surprising to see […]

Alex Bregman Activated And Starting On Wednesday

The Houston Astros have activated third baseman Alex Bregman (quad) from the injured list. He is starting at third base and batting sixth in Wednesday's game against Mike Minor and the Kansas City Royals. The 27-year-old has been out since mid-June due to a left quadriceps strain. Bregman is clearly eager to get back on […]

Sungjae Im Is Quietly Rounding Into Form

While most fantasy managers only think to deploy Sungjae Im on short, Bermuda-grass courses in the south-east, he checks a lot of boxes for the task at hand this week. After a rocky start to the season, the former Honda Classic winner's ball-striking has really rounded into form. Im has gained over a stroke off […]
