Cardinals Ink Matt Prater To Two-Year Deal

The Arizona Cardinals signed former Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater to a two-year deal that includes a $7 million base salary with incentives, according to a source. Prater, 36, spent the last seven seasons with the Lions. The two-time Pro Bowler had a disappointing season last year in Detroit, converting on just 21 of his […]

Vikings Re-Sign Pass-Catcher Chad Beebe

The Minnesota Vikings re-signed wide receiver Chad Beebe to an undisclosed one-year deal. Beebe became an unrestricted free agent when the team didn't tender him as a restricted free agent, but he winds up back in Minnesota anyway. The Vikings agreed on something cheaper than $2.133 million for Beebe for the 2021 season. The son […]

Devin Williams (RP, MIL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 150 CURRENT ADP: ~167 overall ANALYSIS: It's no surprise that Williams is one of the highest non-closer relievers being drafted now after his insane 2020 season that saw him win the NL Rookie of the Year Award and finish seventh in the Cy Young race. Obviously, the strikeouts were a big […]

Josh Adams Returns To Jets

The New York Jets re-signed running back Josh Adams to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to sources. Adams became an unrestricted free agent when the team chose not to tender him as a restricted free agent, but he'll return nonetheless. Adams is an ideal scheme fit in offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur's offense. He's mostly been […]

Danny Jansen (C, TOR) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 280 CURRENT ADP: ~310 overall ANALYSIS: Jansen was a fairly popular sleeper candidate at catcher heading into last season, but investments from fantasy managers failed to pay off with Jansen batting just .183 with a similarly poor .671 OPS. Jansen managed to post a career-best .352 xwOBA that ranked eighth […]

Bears Release Veteran Buster Skrine

The Chicago Bears released veteran cornerback Buster Skrine, according to a source. The Bears will save $4.938 million against the 2021 salary cap with the move. Skrine signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal that included $8.5 million guaranteed in 2019 and appeared in 12 games (three starts) while recording 66 tackles and a forced fumble […]

Carlos Santana (1B/DH, KC) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 260 CURRENT ADP: ~292 overall ANALYSIS: Kansas City Royals first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana gets overlooked every single season. The reason is because of rotisserie bias (Roto is the more popular format), but Santana is always such a value in points leagues, where hitters lose points for strikeouts but are awarded points […]

Ryan Mountcastle (1B/OF, BAL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 130 CURRENT ADP: ~146 overall ANALYSIS: The frontrunner for 2021 AL Rookie of the Year may be a poor fielder but a full season at Camden Yards should yield profits. The 2020 small sample brought us a .333/.386/.492 slash with five homers over 140 PAs, but much of that was […]

Bills Agree To Terms With Levi Wallace

The Buffalo Bills re-signed cornerback Levi Wallace to an undisclosed one-year deal. The 25-year-old became an unrestricted free agent after the team didn't tender him a contract as a restricted free agent. Wallace signed as an undrafted rookie out of Alabama in 2018 and eventually got to start across from Tre'Davious White that same season. […]

Bengals Re-Sign Cornerback Tony Brown

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed cornerback Tony Brown to an undisclosed deal. The team was also set to host former Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Riley Reiff on a free-agent visit on Wednesday. Brown was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and also spent two years with the Green Bay […]

Eduardo Escobar (3B, ARI) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 260 CURRENT ADP: ~278 overall ANALYSIS: Eduardo Escobar was a player that was expected to regress from the big year he had in 2019. The juiced ball really assisted the power that year and it was a clear outlier. However, we saw Escobar regress a little too much in 2020. He […]

Titans Re-Sign Anthony Firkser

The Tennessee Titans re-signed tight end Anthony Firkser to an undisclosed one-year deal. The Titans also brought back fellow tight end Geoff Swaim earlier this week. Firkser isn't much of a blocker, but he had career-highs in catches (39) and receiving yards (387) while also finding the end zone one time last season. There's a […]

Colin Moran (1B, PIT) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 375 CURRENT ADP: ~411 overall ANALYSIS: The departure of Josh Bell in a trade to the Washington Nationals has opened up a full-time spot at first base for Moran who put up his most impressive power numbers last year. Moran led the Pirates in 2020 with 10 homers in 52 games (having hit […]

Deshaun Watson Accused Of Sexual Assault

A third civil lawsuit filed against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson accuses him of sexually assaulting a massage therapist by forcing her to have oral sex with him in December of last year. Houston attorney Tony Buzbee said there are nine total cases against Watson, but so far, only three civil lawsuits have been filed. […]

David Andrews Signs Four-Year Deal To Return To Patriots

The New England Patriots re-signed starting center David Andrews to an undisclosed four-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. It was believed that Andrews would go elsewhere when New England reunited with center Ted Karras on a one-year deal earlier this week. The 28-year-old Andrews spent the first six seasons of his career with […]

Cam Robinson Accepts Franchise Tag

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson officially accepted his franchise tag on Thursday, according to a source. The tag amount for offensive linemen this year is just under $14 million, and that will be guaranteed for Robinson in 2021. The second-round pick of the team in 2017 has appeared in 47 games in his four […]

James McCann (C, NYM) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 180 CURRENT ADP: ~190 overall ANALYSIS: Despite being a career .249 hitter,  James McCann really came into his own at the plate once he left Detroit. Over the past two seasons with the White Sox, he owns the second-highest BA among catchers and the fifth-most runs scored, and that was […]

C.J. Cron (1B, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 235 CURRENT ADP: ~294 overall ANALYSIS:  Cron will enter his age-31 season having only logged more than 500 PAs once in his seven-year career. But he’s at the perfect price point where you shrug at the low floor while recognizing his stellar power potential. I realize power bats don’t mean […]

Marcus Semien (SS, TOR) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 110 CURRENT ADP: ~131 overall ANALYSIS:  If you look at his expected batting average from 2020, Marcus Semien should have theoretically performed worse than he actually did (.223), which suggests he was somewhat lucky. But then you look at his .260 BABIP last year which was both a career-worst and […]

Lamarcus Joyner To Sign With Jets

Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Lamarcus Joyner will sign a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the New York Jets, according to sources. Joyner will have the chance to play safety with his new team under defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh after playing nickel back with the Raiders in 2020. The Jets also have Marcus […]

Yimi Garcia (RP, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

2020 was an odd season for all of Major League Baseball but the Miami Marlins’ odyssey stands out as one of the most bizarre. Miami played their first series of the season before a full-blown COVID-19 outbreak postponed their next eight games. They ended up putting 17 players on the injured list and resumed play […]

Anthony DeSclafani, Giants Hoping For Bounce-Back 2021

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani could be the latest bounce-back pitcher for the team in recent seasons. DeSclafani pitched 3 2/3 innings in Thursday's game against the Mariners, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts. The 30-year-old has had several successful seasons throughout his career, but he posted […]

Broncos Expected To Make Strong Push For Kyle Fuller

The Denver Broncos are expected to make a strong push for free-agent cornerback Kyle Fuller once his release from the Chicago Bears is official, according to sources. Head coach Vic Fangio is familiar with Fuller when he coached him in Chicago. Although the Broncos already signed Ronald Darby in free agency, signing the 29-year-old Fuller […]

Griffin Canning (SP, LAA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 275 CURRENT ADP: ~290 overall ANALYSIS: Canning had his struggles last year after getting a late start to the year after dealing with some elbow injuries. His 23.5%-9.7% K-BB ratio is far from encouraging, but I think that was attributable to the elbow discomfort and delayed season. What this Angels righty […]

Keegan Akin (SP, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

Keegan Akin made his MLB debut for the Baltimore Orioles during the 2020 season and the former second-round draft pick didn't disgrace himself. Akin ended the season with a 4.56 ERA and 1.44 WHIP from his eight appearances (six starts) as well as striking out 35 batters in 25.2 IP. Akin is expected to start the […]

Nick Martin Signs With The Raiders

Former Houston Texans center Nick Martin signed an undisclosed deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, according to a source. Martin started 62 games for the Texans and will replace All-Pro center Rodney Hudson, who was traded to the Arizona Cardinals this week. Martin, a second-round pick in 2016, has started every game that […]

Seahawks Bring Back Ethan Pocic

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed interior offensive lineman Ethan Pocic to a one-year, $3 million deal on Thursday, according to a source. The team's starting center will return. The 25-year-old started 14 games last year and found a home at center after playing both guard positions over his first three seasons in the league. Pocic was […]

Tommy La Stella (1B/2B/3B, SF) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 290 CURRENT ADP: ~306 overall ANALYSIS: Finally signing with the San Francisco Giants, La Stella should play just about every day and hit atop the Giants Lineup. Tommy La Stella is what I categorize as a roster stabilizer. His production is not flashy, but you can write it in pen. […]

Chiefs Re-Sign Mike Remmers Thursday

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed offensive tackle Mike Remmers to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million guaranteed on Thursday, according to a source. The total maximum value of the deal can reach $7 million. He wound up playing in 13 regular season games (10 starts) after originally signing as a versatile reserve offensive lineman. Remmers […]

Mike Trout Collects Two Walks And A Hit On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout had a solid day at the plate in Thursday's win, drawing two walks and collecting a base hit against the Brewers. Trout is having a bit of a slow start to the spring, as he has just five hits in 27 plate appearances. However, worrying about Trout because of […]
