Michael Thomas Hopes To Bounce Back From Injury

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas didn't put up his typical production in 2020, and that was due to a lingering ankle injury that held him out for much of the season. Overall, Thomas expectedly put up career-low numbers last season, finishing with 40 receptions for 438 yards on 55 targets in seven games. […]

Brandin Cooks Role As Starting Receiver Is Safe

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is set to start for the Texans this season, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. McClain believes that Cooks is the only Texans receiver who enters training camp with a starting role in 2021 locked in. His fantasy ADP has reflected that all offseason, with Cooks being […]

Tyrod Taylor Enters Camp As Starting Quarterback

With Deshaun Watson still away from the team, the Houston Texans will enter 2021's training camp with Tyrod Taylor as the team's starting quarterback. In fact, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle says that Taylor's role as the starting passer in Houston is one of the few things that team knows right now about their […]

Sergio Romo K's Two In Relief Win Versus Cleveland

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Sergio Romo pitched a clean ninth inning against the Indians on Friday night and earned the win thanks to a walk-off homer by Jed Lowrie. Romo was dominant in his lone inning of work; he needed just 10 pitches to retire the side while racking up two strikeouts along the way. […]

Dansby Swanson Smacks Solo Shot On Friday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson had a tough day at the plate, but did homer during Friday's 7-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Swanson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run off right-hander Michael Wacha in the 4th inning. That marked Swanson's 16th home run of the season and puts him one shy of […]

Archie Bradley Earns Relief Win Versus Marlins On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Archie Bradley pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings to earn the win in the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus Miami. The veteran reliever escaped trouble left by starter Matt Moore in the fifth, then tossed a clean sixth inning to earn the victory. Bradley didn't pick up a strikeout in the […]

Austin Riley Smacks Homer In Loss To Rays

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley has put together some impressive power numbers this season. On Friday, Riley went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and one walk in the 7-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Riley launched his 15th homer of the season off Michael Wacha. Riley has been a key piece in […]

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 7/17/21 (Premium Content)

Welcome in RotoBallers, and welcome to the unofficial start of the 2nd half of the 2021 MLB season. The first half was certainly one to forget for me, but despite the poor results, I have definitely learned and grown a lot through the process and grind of betting MLB each and every day of the […]

Freddie Freeman Notches Four Hits On Friday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman did not let the All-Star break slow him down at the plate. On Friday, Freeman went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and a stolen base as well. Sadly, it wasn't enough to help lead the Braves to victory as they fell 7-6 to the Tampa Bay Rays. […]

Elvis Andrus Scores Twice Versus Cleveland On Friday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in a win over the Indians on Friday night. The veteran shortstop has been scoring runs batting second for a good A's lineup, but he's done little else to contribute for fantasy as he's batting just .240 with a .281 on-base percentage. He won't […]

Braves Acquire Stephen Vogt From Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Stephen Vogt has been traded to the Braves in exchange for infielder Mason Berne. Vogt is hitting .212/.307/.386 with five homers over 151 plate appearances. He'll get some playing time against right-handed pitching, but isn't a huge upgrade for the Braves. Berne is a solid contact hitter without much pop and has […]

Ross Chastain May Get Tough Knocks This Week at New Hampshire

Ross Chastain helped Kurt Busch win last week at Atlanta when he "blocked" Kyle Busch. This week, Chastain starts 20th and the expectations are that the Chip Ganassi Racing driver may not have an easy time in traffic. He could move up a few positions but New Hampshire has been rough. Chastain has finished 25th […]

Zach Eflin Blitzed By Marlins On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin allowed six runs, five earned, across just 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Marlins on Friday. Eflin allowed a base hit followed by a two-run homer to start the game and set the tone for the night. He allowed six hits and two walks as there was […]

Chase Briscoe Not Expected to be Factor at New Hampshire

Chase Briscoe has shown improvement and drives very well at road races. However, New Hampshire is not Atlanta and the 1.058-mile track has been tough on lots of drivers. Add in that this is the No. 14's first attempt at the NASCAR level on this track. Do not expect the Stewart-Haas Racing driver to have […]

Bubba Wallace Has Marginal DFS Possibility at New Hampshire

Bubba Wallace has driven much better on the racetrack as of late. He is making way fewer unforced errors and the results have been tangible. He has six top-20 results in his last seven races and a top-five at Pocono. Last week, Wallace improved ten spots at Atlanta. The 23XI Racing driver is showing glimpses […]

Sean Manaea K's Seven In No-Decision Versus Cleveland

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts in a no-decision versus the Indians on Friday. Manaea cruised through four shutout innings, but allowed a home run to Roberto Perez in the fifth before running into more trouble in the sixth and being removed from the game. […]

Chris Buescher Too Dicey for DFS at New Hampshire on Sunday

Chris Buescher has been pretty consistent in the last month. He has finished from 16th to 20th in four races. That was despite a pole position for the second race at Pocono. The Roush Fenway Racing driver just does not seem to have the long-run capability of getting into the top ten. He has just […]

William Byron Just Not a Good Pick This Week at New Hampshire

Maybe William Byron gets to drive close to the front this week but it is more likely that he does not. Byron has now finished 12th or worse in three straight races. At Atlanta last week, the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver started 20th and finished a mere 19th. It was expected he could finish in […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 7/17 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Well, that was something. After weeks of near misses, one-run losses and coming up one strikeout short, we turned the tables and hit everything last night. Michael Wacha hit over 4.5 K by striking out Charlie Morton as his last batter of the outing. The Astros threatened to de-rail us with a four-run seventh inning […]

Joey Logano Has Potential at New Hampshire on Sunday

Joey Logano starts back in 15th on Sunday which seems odd but that is where the metrics and weights are. The Team Penske driver had back-to-back top tens at Pocono but fell back at Road America and Atlanta. This dropped him to sixth in the points standings. Logano, in the past, has been consistent at […]

Jed Lowrie Cranks Walk-Off Homer Versus Indians

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie was the hero on Friday night, blasting a two-run homer off of Indians' closer Emmanuel Clase to win the game for the home team. The veteran infielder also had an RBI single for a three-RBI night to begin the second half. Lowrie was a forgotten man with the Mets […]

Matt DiBenedetto Might Surprise Again at New Hampshire

Matt DiBenedetto has surprised many with a tenth and ninth the past two weeks. He does not have a ride currently for next year. However, the Wood Brothers Racing driver is trying to mount a charge of sorts. The problem was between Darlington and Pocono. In those eight races, DiBenedetto finished between 18th and 24th […]

Austin Dillon Has Little Upside at New Hampshire on Sunday

Austin Dillon starts 13th on Sunday at the Loudon track but he likely will not stay there. Dillon has just one top ten result in 11 races in New Hampshire. The Richard Childress Racing driver did finish 13th last year but several racers unexpectedly crashed and there was no Kyle Larson. Metric-wise, Dillon has never […]

Kevin Harvick Might Not Have Speed to Compete at New Hampshire

Kevin Harvick has an incredible track record at New Hampshire but it appears father time may be catching up to the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. This has been a rough year from a speed and driver standpoint. Harvick has six top-five results but no wins on the 2021 season. At New Hampshire, the No. 4 had […]

Brad Keselowski A Big Wildcard at New Hampshire on Sunday

Brad Keselowski could crash out of the race as easily as winning at Loudon on Sunday. The last three races have been a blend of it all for the Team Penske driver. There has been one constant. Keselowski finds ways to lead laps. He has led 21.7% of the laps the past three seasons (only […]

Kyle Larson Angry and Ready to Improve at New Hampshire

Kyle Larson has the best overall driver rating this season and sits just points away from Denny Hamlin for the top spot. If it feels like this has been said for a few weeks, one is not wrong. That being said, Larson is fourth-best on intermediate track the past three seasons with an 8.8 average […]

Can Christopher Bell Do It One More Time at New Hampshire?

Christopher Bell finished in the top ten in two straight races. The question is can the Joe Gibbs Racing driver make it 3-for-3 heading into the break? The No. 20 car has consecutive top tens twice this year but has not had that third one many are expecting. For Bell to make "The Chase", he […]

Tyler Reddick Another Top Ten Finish Plausible at New Hampshire

This could be very close but Tyler Reddick has a nice chance to finish in the top ten again at New Hampshire on Sunday. His only appearance on the track produced a tenth-place result. The Richard Childress Racing driver has performed well on the circuit with six top ten placings in his last nine races. […]
