Mikael Granlund Stays With Nashville Predators in New Deal

Mikael Granlund is back with the Nashville Predators after signing a four-year pact worth $5 million AAV on Wednesday. Granlund is an interesting case because the Predators traded for him at the 2019 NHL Trade Deadline. He produced a handful of points then had just 30 points in 63 games during the 2019-20 season. Granlund […]

Mark Canha Doing It All For A's From Leadoff Slot

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha reached base four times to lead a 10-run outburst for the A's in San Diego. Canha went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base as he's picked up right where he left off before going on the injured list in June. On the season, […]

Chris Herndon Working With Second Unit

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been working primarily with the second unit at camp, with Tyler Kroft and Ryan Griffin getting time with the starting offense.

Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole Working As Starters

The New York Jets are using Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, and Keelan Cole as their starting receivers so far in training camp, while second-year receiver Denzel Mims works with the second team.

Andrew Heaney Completes Quality Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney got the no-decision in Wednesday's 8-7 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Matt Chapman Homers, But Strikeout Issues Remain

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman blasted a three-run homer on Wednesday to help fuel a 10-run outburst in a win over the Padres.

Texans Sign Jordan Veasy

Following Wednesday's trade that sent Randall Cobb to Green Bay, the Houston Texans have made another move at wide receiver, signing free agent Jordan Veasy. Veasy has bounced around training camps and practice squads since 2018, but has never appeared in an NFL game. It would be surprising to see that change in 2021, as […]

Henry Ruggs III Gains 13 Pounds

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has arrived in camp weighing 13 pounds more than he did last season, seemingly in an effort to help Ruggs become a more physical receiver. Ruggs, the first receiver drafted last season, wasn't great as a rookie, catching 26 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns. Drafted […]

Kenyan Drake On Non-Football Injury List

The Las Vegas Raiders have placed running back Kenyan Drake on the non-football Injury list. It's unclear what exactly the Drake injury is, but with it still being early in camp, there's plenty of time for Drake to get healthy and return to practice. This Raiders backfield is an interesting one this season, as Josh […]

Sean Manaea Collects Nine More K's In Win At Padres

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea fired six innings of shutout ball to earn his eighth win of the season Wednesday at San Diego.

Deonte Harris Arrested In Early July For DUI

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris was reportedly arrested on July 16th for allegedly driving under the influence.

Considering Michael Thomas will also miss the start, Harris was in line […]

Kansas City Royals pitcher Kris Bubic had another strong outing in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Cody Bellinger Hits Fifth Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's victory versus the San Francisco Giants. Bellinger also struck out twice in the contest and that would make it 16 times in 41 games this season that he has K'd two or more times in a game. The home run […]

Alex Cobb To Miss Thursday's Start

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) is not available to start Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic. Cobb left early during his July 23 start with a blister on his finger and has been day-to-day since. Fantasy managers will hope he only misses one turn in […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback

Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Aaron […]

Walker Buehler Improves To 11-1

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler continued his impressive season with a victory versus the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.
