Browns Release Sheldon Richardson

The Cleveland Browns released defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson on Friday. Richardson was due more than $12 million this season, and he was no longer needed after the club recently signed pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney for essentially the same salary. Richardson signed with the Browns as an unrestricted free agent in 2019 and started all 16 games […]

Manny Machado Continues To Hit The Ball Hard

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has 25 hard-hit balls (exit velocity of 95 mph or greater) so far this season, which ties him with Paul Goldschmidt for second in baseball and two behind Ronald Acuna Jr.'s MLB-leading 27. Machado hit his third home run of the year in the first inning in the […]

Dinelson Lamet Could Make Season Debut Next Week

San Diego Padres right-hander Dinelson Lamet (elbow) was scheduled to throw between 65 and 75 pitches in a simulated game at the team's alternate training site on Thursday.

He finished Thursday's game 2-for-2 with two doubles, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored in the 8-3 win. Cronenworth […]

The Friday evening game between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday.

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Richmond ToyotaCare 250 (4/17/21)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is back for the first time since the Bristol dirt race on March 29th. This week, we head to Richmond for the ToyotaCare 250. We have a Kyle Busch appearance in this race, so things might wind up being a little more predictable than we'd like. But hey, you've […]

Jakub Vrana Scores In Debut With Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings winger Jakub Vrana was able to light the lamp in his debut with his new team on Thursday. Detroit ended up beating Chicago 4-1. Besides scoring, Vrana registered three shots on goal and logged almost 17:00 minutes of playing time. The Czech forward could see more of an opportunity to play and […]

Washington May Target A QB In The Draft

The Washington Football Team holds the 19th overall pick in this year's NFL draft, and they may not be done adding to the quarterback position despite bringing in veteran signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick this offseason. General manager Martin Mayhew said that the team is open to trading up or back from the 19th overall pick. Fitzpatrick […]

Hamidou Diallo Likely Out Versus Thunder

Detroit Pistons forward Hamidou Diallo (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons might use this as a rest day for Diallo. His playing time has decreased lately, which is making him a cut-candidate in many formats. Josh Jackson […]

Derrick Favors Sitting Out Versus Pacers

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so this is likely a rest day more than anything else. Ersan Ilyasova and Georges Niang are expected to see increased roles without Favors available. Niang has put together some […]

Jordan Clarkson Available On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last four games due to an ankle issue. It's uncertain if he'll be limited at all, but Royce O'Neale (rest) is out, so Clarkson would see an extended role. Fantasy managers should check back […]

Aristides Aquino Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds have placed outfielder Aristides Aquino (hand) on the 10-day injured list. Aquino underwent surgery to remove the hook of his hamate in his left hand on Friday morning. Infielder Max Schrock was called up from the alternate site in a corresponding move. Aquino has struggled to earn playing time this year amidst […]

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin Returning On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both players sat out the front end of the back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Durant back into their lineups. Griffin has been getting minutes in the […]

Nick Ahmed Absent From Friday's Starting Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals. Josh Rojas is getting the start at shortstop and batting eighth in the game. Ahmed began the season on the injured list as he was dealing with patellar tendinitis in his right knee. He's […]

Camilo Doval Called Up By Giants

The San Francisco Giants have called up relief pitcher Camilo Doval. He will be taking the roster spot of Johnny Cueto (lat), who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 lat strain on Friday. This is Doval's first call-up to the Majors. He has a 100 mph fastball and has shown […]

Kyle Connor Snipes Twice In Jets Win

Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor helped his squad defeat Toronto 5-2 on Thursday. Connor netted his 20th and 21st goals this year in the Jets victory. He has been an enormous component in Winnipeg's success in 2021, compiling 21 goals and 22 helpers in 44 contests. The Shelby Township, Michigan native seems to be always […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Hot Start Is For Real

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is off to a fantastic start in 2021 and has reached base safely in all 13 of the team's games. His 1.200 OPS ranks eighth among qualified hitters, and his .413 batting average ranks sixth. Guerrero hit the longest homer of his career (456 feet) on Thursday. […]

Goran Dragic Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (rest) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has struggled lately and desperately needed a day off on Wednesday. His return will mean less minutes for Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro won't have as much upside. Dragic is a risky DFS option since he […]

Taylor Hall Records First Goal As A Bruin

Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall tallied his first point with his new team on Thursday. Boston knocked off the New Islanders 4-1 to stay in fourth place in the MassMutual East division. Hall has played two games with his new teammates producing a goal and six shots on net. He has seen time playing wing […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (4/16/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

With only four games Thursday, Friday bounces back with a massive 11-game slate. There are very few teams playing at full-strength every night during this part of the season, meaning the games should stay competitive, much like they were Thursday. Jaylen Brown had another spectacular outing and even though he only hit one more three-pointer […]

Myles Turner, Doug McDermott Questionable For Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players were unable to play on Wednesday, but have a decent chance of returning here. Jeremy Lamb would likely lose some streaming appeal with McDermott back in the rotation. Goga Bitadze has […]
