Phillip Dorsett II Impressive In OTA's

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be Phillip Dorsett II's fourth NFL team after the wide receiver had mixed results in Indianapolis and New England and never saw the field due to injury with Seattle. The former first-rounder has shown flashes of the talent that made him a high selection, but at this point in his career, […]

Duncan Keith Traded To Edmonton On Monday

The Edmonton Oilers acquired defenseman Duncan Keith from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman Caleb Jones and a third-round draft pick on Monday. The 37-year-old, who won three Stanley Cups in 16 seasons in Chicago, had been the subject of trade talks for the past few weeks. Keith's level of play has regressed considerably […]

Collin Johnson Could Be A Red-Zone Weapon in 2021

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Collin Johnson, a 6' 6" 222 lb. wide receiver out of the University of Texas, projects as the fourth wide receiver for the team in 2021. In Johnson's rookie season last year he was utilized heavily in the red-zone on the rare occasions he saw the field. Johnson's elite size and […]

Cameron Tringale Has Chance to Atone for PGA at British Open

Cameron Tringale shot an 82 at the second round of the PGA Championship including a stretch where he dropped 13 shots in just five holes. It was unfortunate as Tringale just could not climb out of the funk. There were missed shots and putts galore in a display that was rough for anyone. Give Tringale […]

Conor McGregor Loses Bout Due To Injury

It was not the night Conor McGregor (22-6) was hoping for on Saturday, as his rubber match with Dustin Poirier was stopped due to what appeared to be a broken leg in the first round. In 4:50 of total action, McGregor landed 27 significant strikes (43 total strikes) and locked in a tight guillotine choke. […]

Dustin Poirier Takes First-Round Victory After Bizarre Stoppage

It was all Dustin Poirier in the rubber match on Saturday, as he defeated Conor McGregor via doctor stoppage (first-round TKO) after McGregor stepped back and broke the base of his shin near the ankle with about 10 seconds to go in the first round. In 4:50 of action, Poirier landed 36 significant strikes along […]

Max Homa Not Playing The Greatest as British Open Looms

It has been a tough fight for Max Homa the past couple of months. He missed the cut in several tournaments including the PGA and US Open. He did play better at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and finished off the tournament with a solid 68 to finish tied for 25th. Again, the problem with Homa […]

Stephen Thompson Unable To Capitalize On His Opportunity

With a title shot within his grasp, Stephen Thompson (16-5-1) was unable to get the victory in Saturday's co-main event, dropping a unanimous decision to Gilbert Burns (29-28) on all three scorecards. In 15 minutes of action, Thompson was only able to rack up 19 significant strikes (59 total strikes) while being taken down three […]

Jason Kokrak Intriguing Golfer Heading into British Open

Jason Kokrak is capable of putting well and putting some rounds together at the non-majors. He won the Charles Schwab on Memorial Day Weekend with an even-par 70 as he contained himself well when it mattered most. The problem is that at the majors, Kokrak has not had the same composure. He missed the cut […]

Gilbert Burns Goes The Distance Saturday

In a battle of top welterweight contenders, Gilbert Burns (20-4) did just enough in his co-main-event battle with Stephen Thompson on Saturday to take a unanimous decision (29-28) on all three judges' scorecards. In 15 minutes of action, Burns tallied 29 significant strikes (101 total strikes) and landed three of his six takedown tries, including […]

Scottie Scheffler Contending at British Open Very Possible

Scottie Scheffler has the game to thrive at the British Open. Look at his record over the past few majors and major-like tournaments. He has the ability to stay in these championships and fight well. There is the tied-8th at the PGA, the third at The Memorial, and the tied for seventh at the US […]

First Half Over and Under Performers - Catcher's Corner Episode 13

Eric (@SamskiNYC) and Sami (@Believe_Sami) talk to Vlad Sedler (@Rotogut) about his path to consistent fantasy success and some of the FAAB targets we all like. Then we dive into the first-half over and under performers to see what the second half might hold, discussing names like Cedric Mullins, Randy Arozarena, Marcus Stroman, Alec Bohm, […]

Matt Wallace a Bit Dicey Heading into British Open

Matt Wallace missed the cut at the PGA and US Open in his last two majors. The English golfer did finish tied for sixth at the Wells Fargo Championship two months ago. His ability to hit from tee to green is solid but some unforced errors via tee shots have been problematic. Wallace had fewer […]

Brendan Todd May Have Some Upside at British Open

Brendan Todd does not hit the ball long but he hits it straight. Todd tops the PGA Tour in driving accuracy at 75.2%. He also gains 0.792 strokes while putting which ranks second. What are the problems then? Simply, the American golfer has to get to the green to make the putts. Greens in regulation […]

Lee Westwood Might Falter Over Weekend at British Open

The concern with Lee Westwood is not how he starts but really how he finishes. The 48-year-old has been great in his last few majors on Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday tell a different tale. He shot a 77 on Sunday in particular at the PGA Championship. Then, at the US Open, it was […]

James O'Shaughnessy Impressing In Offseason Practices

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy hasn't been fantasy relevant to this point in his career, but it's worth noting that he's the top receiving threat among Jags tight ends. O'Shaughnessy's 88 career receptions are 76 more than the next closest TE on the roster, Chris Manhertz. O'Shaughnessy appears to be taking advantage of his […]

Francesco Molinari Has Upside at British Open

Francesco Molinari has struggled on the PGA Tour but looked great at the US Open nearly finishing in the top ten last month. His tied for 13th could have been even greater if not for a 76 in the second round. Molinari had a top-five weekend on one of the toughest courses out there. He […]

Stewart Cink A Former Open Winner

Experienced players have historically found success in the Open Championship and there's perhaps no greater reminder of that than Stewart Cink. Cink infamously defeated a then-59-year-old Tom Watson in a playoff at Turnberry in the 2009 Open. In a bit of role reversal that would likely make Mr. Watson smile, Cink now finds himself in […]

Sergio Garcia One to Watch at British Open

Sergio Garcia has never won the British Open but did come in second twice -- in 2007 and 2014. He also has a top ten or two at Royal St. George (last in 2011). He has had some nice final rounds as well shooting a 68 in 2011. That day, his putter was working well […]

Branden Grace An Open Championship Dark Horse

Branden Grace is set to tee it up in this week's Open Championship. The South African has made the cut in eight of his previous nine starts in golf's oldest major and heads to Royal St. George's with his form trending in the right direction. Grace ranks ninth in this week's elite field in total […]

Will Zalatoris Set To Make British Open Debut

Will Zalatoris is set to make his Open Championship debut this week. The 24-year-old has been a revelation since exploding on to the PGA Tour scene late last year with a top-10 in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot and a runner-up finish in the 2021 Masters. However, Zalatoris has cooled a bit as of […]

Henrik Stenson in Awful Form Heading into British Open

Henrik Stenson has played just two tournaments since the PGA Championship where he finished outside the top-60. He missed the cut in both without shooting under par in any of those four rounds. That offers little hope for the British Open. It just seems that this pandemic has sapped whatever game Stenson had. Yes, he […]

Danny Willett May See Weekend at British Open

Danny Willett has endured a rough three-month stretch since a top ten in the Caribbean. The key for the English golfer this week will be taking advantage of his around the green game (third on tour with over a half stroke gained). If Willett can just drive somewhat decent off the tee and make a […]

Justin Rose Still Chasing Elusive Claret Jug

One of the great European players of his generation, Justin Rose heads to Royal St. George's this week still in search of the Open Championship title that has eluded him for so many years. Rose's consistency has dipped in recent years but top-10 finishes in both the Masters and the PGA Championship earlier this year […]

Triston McKenzie To Remain In Indians Rotation

According to Zack Meisel, Triston McKenzie will remain in the Indians' rotation after the All-Star break and will make his next start on July 20th at Houston. The matchup is not ideal, but it is good news for McKenzie after dazzling to the tune of one hit and one walk while striking out nine in […]

Chez Reavie Might Struggle at the British Open

Though Chez Reavie had a nice top-20 finish this weekend at the John Deere Classic, the Open and links golf is a different challenge. The only thing Reavie can excel at which will help is driving accuracy. He ranks fourth on tour at 72.9%. Reavie will have to hit greens early and putt well. That […]

Paul Casey May Be One English Look to for Hope at British Open

Paul Casey carries some value at 30 to 1 and has contended in his last two majors with a top-5 and top-10 (PGA Championship and US Open). Casey has played well enough to win but again some missed shots and a faulty putter kept him from winning the PGA in particular. Casey has one of […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looking to Bounce Back at British Open

Tommy Fleetwood never really got the putter going at the US Open and it cost him a good finish. He did play the weekend and wound up 50th at +8. However, a bunch of missed putts hurt what was a pretty good ball-striking weekend. Fleetwood must putt better and maybe being close to home will […]

Bryson DeChambeau One to Stay Away From at British Open

Bryson DeChambeau is not even among the favorites this week in a golf tournament. Part of that is because "The Open" and DeChambeau have never quite mixed. He fared poorly two years ago and expectations are not that high this year. Since the Arnold Palmer tournament, the golfer has just one top-ten finish. His FedEx […]

Rory McIlroy One of the Favorites at the British Open

Rory McIlroy is coming in third or fourth in most oddsmaker books this weekend at the British Open. 15 to 1 odds is reasonable under the circumstances. He hits the ball further than most everyone at just over 318 yards a drive. His tee-to-green game is still one of the best in the world. McIlroy's […]
