Ozzie Albies Crushes Homer Off Phillies

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies didn't have the best outing at the plate during Saturday's contest. He went 1-for-6 with his lone hit being a three-run home run in the eighth inning.

Target Hogs to Trust in 2021 Fantasy Football

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team.
