Marquez Callaway Aims To Build On Rookie Season

Pedro Severino Collects Three Hits, Homers Friday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino had a nice day at the plate in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Royals. Severino went 3-for-4 with a single, a double, and a solo home run. The 27-year-old has been underwhelming this season, slashing just .230/.307/.348 with five HR and 18 RBI. This has limited his fantasy value, even […]

Deonte Harris Looks To Make Impact In Third Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is projected as the WR3 on the team this season and the 23-year-old will look to make an impact in his third NFL season in 2021. In nine games last season, Harris had a modest 20 receptions for 186 yards and one touchdown on 25 targets in nine […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Hits Three-Run Home Run Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. made his one hit count in Friday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals, going 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. Wade Jr. lined a fifth-inning Adam Wainwright curveball just over the right-field wall to give the Giants a three-run lead. The 27-year-old has done a […]

Tre'Quan Smith Set For WR2 Role

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is set for the WR2 role on the Saints, but that is due more to a lack of talent at the position rather than his production. In three seasons with New Orleans, the UCF product has been rather disappointing, not finishing with more than 34 receptions or 448 […]

Mike Yastrzemski Homers Twice Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski had a huge night at the plate in Friday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals. Yaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a three-run HR, a walk, and a strikeout.

Logan Webb Pitches Well Friday With Limited Pitches

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb turned in a good start in Friday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

It was the 24-year-old's second start back from the injured list with a right shoulder strain, […]

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 […]

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
