Kramer Hickock Will Not Be A Factor In The Quad Cities

Fantasy managers may remember Kramer Hickock from his disappointing playoff loss to Harris English a few weeks ago at the Travelers Championship.

Rafa Cabrera Bello Should Not Be Backed In The Quad Cities

There's not much of a case to be made for taking a chance on Rafa Cabrera Bello at the John Deere Classic.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Hitting Ninth Tuesday

Texas Rangers shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa was dropped to ninth in the batting order on Tuesday against Detroit Tigers right-hander Jose Urena.

Dylan Frittelli Looks To Defend His John Deere Classic Title

Since the John Deere Classic was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dylan Frittelli is this week's defending champion, as he claimed victory in the Quad Cities in 2019.
