Nelson Cruz Back In Lineup Tuesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (neck) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Chicago White Sox. Cruz missed two games with neck stiffness that resulted from a violent coughing fit. The veteran slugger will slot back into the third spot in the Twins order against White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon. Cruz […]

Lucas Glover Is A Solid Option In The Quad Cities

Lucas Glover checks a number of key boxes this week. Over his last 36 rounds, the former U.S. Open champion ranks sixth in birdies or better gained, 10th in par-four scoring (400-450 yards) and 24th in opportunities gained. Glover gains strokes on the field in easy scoring conditions, on bent-grass greens, on TPC courses and […]

Russell Henley A Perfect Fit For TPC Deere Run

Last time Russell Henley got a crack at TPC Deere Run, he shot a final-round 61 to finish as the runner-up here in 2019. There's no reason to believe that Henley isn't capable of building off that momentum and recording another strong finish in the Quad Cities. The University of Georgia product checks all of […]

Brian Harman Looks To Capture Second John Deere Classic Title

Brian Harman should be full of good vibes this week as he returns to the site of his first PGA Tour win. Harman is a much better player now than he was back in 2014, when he last captured victory in the Quad Cities. Over his last 36 rounds, the University of Georgia product ranks […]

Dodgers Sign Neftali Feliz

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed veteran relief pitcher Neftali Feliz to a minor league contract on Tuesday after he was recently released by the Philadelphia Phillies. The 33-year-old former American League Rookie of the Year in 2010 allowed four earned runs on four hits (one home run) in just one inning pitched for the Phillies […]

Travis Lakins Sr. Undergoes Successful Surgery

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Travis Lakins Sr. (elbow) had successful surgery to fix a recurrent olecranon stress fracture in his right elbow. The surgery was performed by Dr. Steve Shin on Tuesday. Lakins wasn't a fantasy option to begin with and was injured in his first start of the season when he was removed from the […]

Rockies Won't Trade German Marquez

The Colorado Rockies won't be trading starting pitcher German Marquez at this month's trade deadline, according to manager Bud Black. "German Marquez is not going anywhere," Black said. Marquez has been great for the Rockies and fantasy managers with a career-low 3.59 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and solid 24.3 percent strikeout rate in 105 1/3 innings […]

Manuel Margot Expected To Land On Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the injured list after he suffered a hamstring injury on Monday, although the severity of the injury isn't yet known. The team's No. 2 prospect behind Wander Franco, Vidal Brujan, would seem to be the likely replacement, but nothing has been decided […]

Bryan Reynolds Snaps 0-For-8 Skid With Pair Of Hits

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds snapped an 0-for-8 skid on Monday night, as he finished 2-for-5 with a run scored in the Pirates' 11-1 victory over Atlanta. Despite that small bump in the road, Reynolds has been putting up great numbers over his last 15 games, slashing .350/.381/.583 with four homers, two steals, 13 RBI […]

Adam Frazier Reaches Base Four Times On Monday Night

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier went 2-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in an 11-1 win against the Braves on Monday night. Day in and day out, Frazier continues to show why he is the National League starting second baseman in the All-Star Game, as he's now slashing .333/.438/.500 with two homers, […]

Kevin Na Still Up And Down Heading Into John Deere Classic

Kevin Na seems to be continuing his inconsistent play from one tournament to the next. He has followed up a top finish by missing the cut the past seven times out. With the lack of consistency, it is hard to gauge which Na will show up. His around-the-green ability is the best on tour at […]

Ty France (1B/2B/3B, SEA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The positional eligibility alone is fantasy gold, but what if a guy is hitting .265 while providing that? Not only that, but he is batting cleanup in an improving lineup. You probably want to know what you're going to have to […]

Ben Gamel Homers Twice In Win Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel went 3-for-5 with a double, two homers, six RBI and three runs scored in an 11-1 win over the Braves on Monday night. It was a monster night at the plate for Gamel, who has been on fire over his last seven games, slashing .308/.357/.846 with four homers, eight RBI […]

Alex Noren Expected To Perform Well At John Deere Classic

Alex Noren nearly won the Rocket Mortgage Classic as he finished tied for fourth last week. This was buoyed by a 67-64 weekend that few saw coming. The only risk with Noren is it seems like he shoots a 74 or worse every other final round of late. Last weekend was a different story as […]

Javonte Williams Could Have Big Role By Season's End

The Denver Broncos didn't trade up in the second round of this year's draft for running back Javonte Williams to sit around and watch from the sidelines in 2021. The Denver Post's Ryan O'Halloran sees a scenario where Melvin Gordon III takes the first snap/series of the game in Week 1 and then the Broncos […]

Pat Perez A Good DFS Option At John Deere Classic

Pat Perez can always be a bit of a risk because his game can go south at any time, especially off the tee (149th on tour at -0.154 strokes gained). Over the last eight tournaments, Perez is putting at a top-50 level, and his sand saves have been near 60%. Even his around-the-green play has […]

Jerry Jeudy Ready For A Breakout Season?

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy struggled with drops, caught passes from three different starting quarterbacks and battled through an ankle injury in 2020, but the No. 15 pick of last year's draft still managed 856 receiving yards, the second-most for a rookie in franchise history. Jeudy looked sharp in offseason workouts and received praise […]

Seamus Power An A Roll Heading Into John Deere Classic

Seamus Power is on a run with four top-20 finishes in a row. He did not play in the US Open but in the lesser tiered tournaments, Power has performed quite nicely. Honestly, the John Deere Classic is another one of those tournaments. Power has made seven straight weekends behind some pretty solid putting and […]

Chez Reavie Needs To Putt To See The Weekend

Chez Reavie just cannot make enough putts. He ranks 193rd on tour with -0.563 strokes gained. The other problem is Reavie ranks 200th driving a golf ball an average of 281 yards. Even at the John Deere, that can be a bit of an issue at times. He missed seven straight cuts at one point […]

Colts Have Big Plans For Parris Campbell

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell, a second-round pick out of Ohio State in 2019, has five injuries, 24 catches and nine games played out of a possible 32 in his first two years in the league. However, the Colts remain confident that Campbell can deliver, and head coach Frank Reich has big plans for […]

Kyle Stanley Should See The Weekend At John Deere Classic

Kyle Stanley has one major weakness, and that is his putting. Other than not being able to drive the ball 300 yards, Stanley's biggest problem is how he fares on the greens. He ranks 197th in strokes gained in putting at minus-0.633. His around-the-green ability is about average, but again, he has to drop putts […]

Kevin Streelman Should Fare Better At John Deere Classic

Kevin Streelman just had one of those tournaments where little went right. Well, the putts just did not drop as Streelman missed the cut at the Travelers after a five tournament run where he finished 26th or better. That included a t-8th at the PGA Championship and t-15th at the US Open. Streelman is capable […]

N'Keal Harry Formally Requests A Trade

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry's agent, Jamal Tooson, issued a formal statement on Tuesday to request a trade. "Through two seasons, he has 86 targets, which obviously hasn't met the expectations the Patriots and N'Keal had when they drafted a dominant downfield threat who was virtually unstoppable at the point of attack in […]

Tyrod Taylor Ready To Contribute In Houston

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor is ready to contribute in his first season in Houston after spending the last two seasons backing up Philip Rivers and Justin Herbert in Los Angeles. Taylor has plenty of experience, winning a Super Bowl as a backup with Baltimore in 20212 and playing in 43 games for the Buffalo […]

Steve Stricker Not Likely To Be A Factor At John Deere Classic

It is great that Steve Stricker is playing at the John Deere this weekend, but that may be where the feel-good story ends. When one barely hits the ball 283 yards off the tee, that can be a problem. The course is only 7,257 yards in distance, but still just long enough. Stricker's approach to […]

Chargers Offense To Run Through Justin Herbert

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to run their offense this year through second-year quarterback Justin Herbert, which isn't much of a surprise after he won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2020. "I wanted our offense to run through Justin Herbert … I wanted him to make it work and I think that's what's been […]

Jhonattan Vegas Could Have DFS Upside At John Deere Classic

Jhonattan Vegas might possess some potential DFS-wise this week at the John Deere Classic. At the Byron Nelson and Palmetto Championships, Vegas showed he could hang around finishing in a tie for ninth at both places. He had the putter mostly working on the weekend shooting in the 60's all four times. Aside from the […]
