You can take a risk or two on a variety of different players, including a prospect, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even players with skills but have playing time concerns.

In just a few short days, the 2021 Major League Baseball season will get underway. Fans of Minor League Baseball will have to wait a little longer with clubs operating their alternate training sites for at least the first month of the 2021 season. As we saw in 2020, prospects can develop and thrive at […]

Dynasty Catcher Rankings for Fantasy Baseball

Catchers are still a necessary evil in the fantasy realm. For that reason, we will finish our analysis of the dynasty positional rankings with those that wield the tools of ignorance. We've already reviewed the rest of the positions around the diamond. Check out analysis on my dynasty rankings with a look at first base, […]

Will Smith Enjoying A Productive Spring

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith has picked up where he left off in 2020. The 26-year-old is slashing .357/.426/.571 with two homers, nine RBI, and four walks through 42 Spring Training at-bats. Smith put up strong numbers last season and looks primed for a career-best campaign in 2021. He is a top-three fantasy option […]

C.J. Cron Caps Off Hot Spring With Another HR

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Cactus League game vs. the Chicago White Sox. Cron took White Sox starter Dylan Cease deep in the bottom of the second inning. Cease ended up whiffing 11 Rockies on the day and was phenomenal over Cactus League play so […]

William Smith In Line For Save Opportunities

Atlanta Braves pitcher William Smith could see a healthy number of save opportunities for the club in 2021 — if he can solve his long-ball issues. The veteran left-hander had an encouraging spring with a K-BB of 12-2 in 5.2 innings but he also did not allow a home run. Last season in 18 games, […]

Marcus Morris Sr. A Late Scratch Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic. Morris was a late scratch after his calf seemed to flare up, an ailment that forced him to miss a contest last week as well. Nicolas Batum and Patrick Patterson should see added minutes at the power […]

Zach LaVine Questionable, Garrett Temple Doubtful Against Suns

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is considered questionable to play on Wednesday against the Suns. Forward Garrett Temple (hamstring) is doubtful. LaVine appeared to tweak his sprained ankle during Monday's game- and indicated after the contest that he might have to sit out a game. Temple strained his right hamstring during the contest and […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 3/31/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

A lopsided Round 32 concludes with just two games on our Wednesday slate. Most of the action took place yesterday, but there is still plenty of action here. Khimki is the worst team in the league on a number of fronts, so value can be had with running just about anyone at them. However, I'm […]

Coby White Questionable For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's battle with the Suns. White missed the first game of his career on Monday with neck spasms and was unable to practice on Tuesday, so he genuinely appears to be up-in-the-air for Wednesday. If White misses another game, expect Tomas Satoransky to […]

De'Andre Hunter, Lou Williams Out Tuesday Against Suns

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and guard Lou Williams (undisclosed) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Phoenix. Head coach Nate McMillan seemed to indicate that Hunter was on the right side of questionable, though he will sit out the contest as he still has swelling in his sore knee. Williams has yet […]

Terrence Ross Set To Make Return Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) will return to the court on Tuesday against the Clippers. Ross missed the last seven games with a sore knee, though his return comes at a good time for a Magic team that lost a huge chunk of scoring at the deadline. There's no word on if he'll have […]

Dwight Howard Enters Starting Five Against Nuggets

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard will be among the team's five starters for Tuesday's matchup with Denver. Forward Mike Scott was tabbed as Philly's starting center in each of the last two games following the Tony Bradley trade, though Howard will get his turn against MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. It's not an ideal matchup- though […]

Paul George Ruled Out Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Magic. It marks George's second straight absence, as he also missed Monday's game against the Bucks due to a sore foot. Forward Marcus Morris Sr., guard Reggie Jackson, and guard Luke Kennard scored 20-plus points with at least four […]

Dynasty Prep and Strategies For Returning and New FFPC Players

While NFL teams are readying for the upcoming draft and continue to monitor free agency, fantasy football dynasty players also have much work to do. Whether you play in a returning dynasty league or are planning to join a new one, the time for important offseason decisions is already here. The level of dynasty competition […]

Blake Treinen A Reliable Relief Option In 2021

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen will be a viable bullpen piece for fantasy managers again in 2021. Treinen recorded nine holds, a save, and a 22/8 K/BB rate in 2020. The 32-year-old will serve as the primary set-up man for Kenley Jansen, and would see a massive increase in value if he ever took […]

AJ Pollock Struggling In Spring

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock has struggled to find consistency throughout Spring Training. The 33-year-old owns a dismal .146/.260/.244 slash line through 41 at-bats. Thankfully, there is a clear path to playing time for Pollock in 2021 now that Joc Pederson is a member of the Chicago Cubs. Nevertheless, the veteran slugger will have […]

Coby White Sit Out During Tuesday's Practice

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) was unable to participate during Tuesday's practice. He missed the first game of his career on Monday due to neck spasms. It certainly sounds like White is headed towards another absence on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should get more information closer to game time. Tomas Satoransky would see all the […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Against Jazz

Memphis Grizzlies forward Justise Winslow (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This will mark the second straight game that Winslow has missed due to a thigh issue. The potential is clearly there, but Winslow cannot seem to stay on the court. His absence will mean more minutes for Brandon […]

Cristian Pache Expected To Start Season In Center Field

Atlanta Braves outfielder Cristian Pache is expected to begin the 2021 season as the team's starting center fielder, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Ender Inciarte will serve as the backup. Pache has not inspired many fantasy managers during Spring Training, as he has posted an unsightly .162/.238/.243 slash line. The 22-year-old is an elite […]

John Wall Might Sit Out On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He is dealing with a swollen knee, so it might depend on how Wall is feeling closer to game time. The Rockets aren't exactly playing for much right now, so they have little incentive to push Wall out […]

D'Angelo Russell Remains Out Versus Knicks

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was able to get in some 5-on-5 work during Tuesday's practice. It sounds like he's making solid progress from his knee surgery, but still isn't able to suit up yet. Ricky Rubio will remain the starting […]

Christian Wood Listed As Probable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. The organization is hopeful that he'll be able to suit up for this game, but fantasy managers will need to check back closer […]

Garrett Temple Misses Tuesday's Practice

Chicago Bulls guard Garrett Temple (hamstring) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He only played two minutes on Monday before coming out of the game due to hamstring tightness. The fact he didn't suit up for practice means he'll probably miss a game or two. His absence will give a slight boost to […]

Danuel House Should Play Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He returned from a two-game absence on Monday, so he should be fine for this game. Fantasy managers should check back closer to game time in case he suffers a setback. Players like Ben McLemore and Jae'sean Tate […]

Kevin Lankinen Tries To Slow Down Carolina

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will take on a hot Carolina team on Tuesday. The Hurricanes head into the encounter on a three-game winning streak and they have produced an 11-1-2 record in their past 14 games. Lankinen beat Florida twice last week, but he has only three wins for the month in nine outings, […]

Vincent Trocheck Game-Time Decision For Tuesday's Action

Carolina Hurricanes center Vincent Trocheck, who hasn't played since Mar. 9, could return to action on Tuesday against Chicago. He is officially a game-time decision but skated with the team as the second-line center at Monday's practice. The 27-year-old was on a six-game point streak before getting hurt, and he's been hot throughout the campaign […]
