The Dallas Cowboys signed first-round linebacker Micah Parsons to his fully guaranteed four-year rookie deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The Cowboys selected Parsons 12th overall in this year's NFL draft out of Penn State. With Sean Lee retiring and Leighton Vander Esch unable to stay healthy, Parsons will become an immediate starter in […]

Rangers Designate Khris Davis For Assignment

The Texas Rangers designated outfielder/designated hitter Khris Davis for assignment on Tuesday after he hit .157 with two home runs and five RBI in 22 games in his first season with the team. The 33-year-old slugger led the American League with 48 home runs in 2018 when he was with the Oakland Athletics, but the […]

Chris Sale Confident He'll Pitch In 2021

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) is confident that he'll pitch before the end of this season. "One hundred percent," Sale said Tuesday. "Unless something crazy happens. I'll be there soon enough." The 32-year-old southpaw threw 25 pitches, including a combination of his fastball, changeup and slider, on Tuesday. The left-hander could face […]

Blidi Wreh-Wilson Lands With Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing former Atlanta Falcons cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. Wreh-Wilson was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2013 out of Connecticut and spent his first three NFL seasons in Nashville. The 31-year-old veteran spent the last five seasons with the Falcons, where he recorded 33 tackles […]

Saquon Barkley Won't Put A Timetable On His Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee), who missed the final 14 games of last season after tearing his ACL, declined to provide a timetable for his return when speaking to the media on Wednesday. "You know me, I'll take it one day at a time. … It's going to be whenever my body […]

Braxton Garrett Gets The Start For Wednesday's Game

Miami Marlins rookie pitcher Braxton Garrett will get the start for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Garrett was called up on Tuesday as "protection" after a bullpen game on Monday, but the thought was always that he was going to start on Wednesday. He's had trouble pitching at the big league level in a […]

Jamahal Hill Set To Open UFC Main Card On Saturday

Without a loss since entering the UFC, Jamahal Hill (8-0) will finally meet up with dangerous submission artist Paul Craig on UFC 263's main-card opener on Saturday. The two were scheduled to compete in March, but Hill had to pull out due to COVID-19. Both fighters have been going at it on social media ever […]

Paul Craig Finally Set To Clash With Jamahal Hill

Undefeated over his last four bouts (three wins and one draw), Paul Craig (14-4-1) will finally face Jamahal Hill this Saturday after previously being scheduled for March. Craig is a dangerous submission ace, with 12 of his 14 career wins coming by submission. DraftKings sees the Bearjew as the underdog headed into UFC 262's main-card […]

Brooks Koepka Makes Sense At Congaree

In theory, Brooks Koepka should excel at Congaree this week. Koepka is very long off the tee, averaging 308.2 yards per drive, and sits inside the top 20 in strokes gained off the tee. However, we have seen Koepka struggle when he isn't playing in a big-time event. On the season, Koepka has only made […]

Alex Noren Playing Well Coming Into Palmetto Championship

Alex Noren is quietly playing some good golf in the past two months. In his five starts since April, Noren has yet to miss a cut. Looking deeper, Noren has finished inside the top 25 in four of those five starts, highlighted by a T13 last week at the Memorial. Noren won't struggle with the […]

Broncos An Option For Deshaun Watson?

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been getting recruited by former teammates and players across the NFL after he requested a trade earlier this offseason. Watson remains open to several options, including the Denver Broncos. Broncos safety Kareem Jackson said that Watson wants to be in Denver, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport doesn't think Denver […]

Ian Kennedy Placed On The Injured List

Texas Rangers closer Ian Kennedy (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a mild left hamstring strain on Wednesday. He was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Giants and hasn't pitched since last Friday. It's unclear exactly how much time Kennedy will miss, but fantasy managers can expect to be without the Rangers closer for […]

Ben Martin Should Be Considered This Week

Ben Martin won't carry a high DFS price this week, which isn't surprising. However, what is surprising are his stats. Martin doesn't lose strokes in any strokes-gained categories and is currently 52nd in strokes gained total. He isn't the longest off the tee, averaging only 290.7 yards per drive, but he gains .168 strokes off […]

Luke List Has The Distance To Contend At Congaree

Luke List is one of the best players on the PGA Tour off the tee -- eighth-best to be exact. He's also one of the longest players off the tee box (seventh-longest). Congaree will play as the longest par 71 on the PGA Tour and features the second-longest hole on tour, a 645-yard par five. […]

Keith Mitchell Carries Plenty Of Risk At Congaree

Keith Mitchell carries a high DFS price this week, but he could be worth the money. Mitchell averages 305.1 yards off the tee, good enough for 31st-best on tour. With that distance, it should be no surprise that Mitchell is inside the top 20 in strokes gained off the tee -- 19th to be exact. […]

Ronald Torreyes To Be Phillies Shortstop

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Ronald Torreyes will serve as the team's starting shortstop for now with Didi Gregorius (elbow) still on the injured list. Manager Joe Girardi said he'd also be comfortable using Luke Williams at the 6, but for now it'll mainly be Torreyes at the position. The 28-year-old is in his seventh big league […]

Matthew NeSmith Won't Be Worth His High DFS Price

Matthew NeSmith will struggle to justify his DFS price this week. In his past eight starts on tour, NeSmith has made five cuts. That's not bad, but when you dive deeper, he hasn't done much in terms of fantasy. In his five made cuts, NeSmith has a best finish of T21 at the Valspar, but […]

Russell Knox Not Long Enough For Congaree

Averaging only 290.1 yards off the tee box this season, Russell Knox will have a tough time with a very long course this week. Although his approach game is top-notch -- 27th in strokes gained on approach -- he loses strokes with his driver and with his putter. Knox is outside the top 100 in […]

Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Lands On The Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed infielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo (calf) on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain on Wednesday. He was acquired from the Rays in mid-May and has started in only six games since being traded. The 29-year-old is slashing .120/.290/.120 across 31 plate appearances for the Dodgers. Tsutsugo mainly serves as […]

Cardinals Sign First-Rounder Zaven Collins

The Arizona Cardinals signed first-round linebacker Zaven Collins to his four-year rookie contract on Tuesday, according to a source. Collins was selected 16th overall in this year's draft out of Tulsa. They added to a position of strength, as the Cardinals also have last year's first-rounder Isaiah Simmons, an aging Chandler Jones and Jordan Hicks. […]

Saints Restructure Marshon Lattimore's Contract

The New Orleans Saints converted cornerback Marshon Lattimore's $10.2 million fifth-year option to a $990,000 base salary and the rest in a roster bonus with voidable years on Tuesday in order to create more salary cap room for the 2021 season. The two sides will also continue to work on a contract extension. The 11th […]

Dodgers Activate Tony Gonsolin For Wednesday's Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list and will start on Wednesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gonsolin has been sidelined the entire season with right shoulder inflammation, but will return to a favorable matchup against the weak hitting Pirates. Gonsolin, 27, appeared in nine games in […]

Willson Contreras Will Rest On Wednesday Versus Padres

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will rest on Wednesday versus the San Diego Padres. Contreras continues to be one of the best catchers in the game and is hitting .245 with ten home runs, 25 RBI and three stolen bases. With the Cubs going from a night game to a day game, backup catcher P.J. […]

Alex Dickerson Officially Lands On The Injured List

The San Francisco Giants officially placed outfielder Alex Dickerson (back) on the 10-day injured list with an upper back strain. He was removed early from Tuesday's game against the Rangers and will miss at least the next 10 days. According to Giants manager Gabe Kapler, Dickerson's stay on the injured list isn't expected to be long. […]

Calvin Ridley Undergoes Minor Surgery

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) recently underwent minor foot surgery from Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay, Wisconsin, according to a source. The surgery was a minor cleanup. Ridley will not take part in minicamp, but he should be fine for training camp later this summer. It sounds like it won't impact his […]

Kris Bryant Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs corner infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant will get a day of rest on Wednesday versus the San Diego Padres. Bryant has been having a MVP type season, but has struggled over the past week with five hits over his last 23 at-bats. Managers have no reason to worry with this being the first time all […]

Javier Baez Will Miss Third Straight Game

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) continues to be sidelined with a thumb injury and will miss Wednesday's contest versus the San Diego Padres. Baez left Sunday's game early with a contusion on his thumb and has been absent from the lineup since. The upcoming free agent has been having a good year all across […]
