Fantasy Basketball Night In Review: Friday, March 12

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight a few key fantasy basketball takeaways from the games played during last night's slate. These viewpoints can be both positive and negative and will hopefully help to provide insight into different roster moves you should consider making based on trends and statistical nuggets […]

Running Back Free Agent Fantasy Fits

We have finally cleared the franchise tag window and now can start dreaming of landing spots for the running backs in this class. This free agent and draft class are weirdly parallel, with a tier of top-level talents surrounded by guys who need good situations (or good luck) to thrive for their NFL teams. None […]

Nick Senzel Reaches Base Twice In Loss

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went 1-for-2 with a single and a walk in a 4-3 Cactus League loss to the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Senzel is putting together a productive spring, hitting .313 with two homers, three runs, and two RBI across 16 at-bats. The young outfielder is expected to open the season as […]

Jesse Winker Crosses The Plate In Loss

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker went 0-for-3 with a run scored in a 4-3 Cactus League loss to the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Winker struck out twice in the contest as he saw his batting average dip to .200 over 10 spring at-bats. The veteran outfielder is still working his way back after missing the […]

Ryan Blaney Getting Overlooked At Phoenix A Bit

One driver that could deliver a steady result is Ryan Blaney. He has only led one lap the entire season but did race to a top-five finish last week in Vegas. His car is getting better and better. The Team Penske driver starts from the eighth spot on Sunday for the Instacart 500. There is […]

Luis Castillo Sharp In Spring Debut

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo made his first spring appearance on Friday, tossing two scoreless innings in a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Castillo struck out one and walked one while allowing no hits in his first Cactus League action this year. The veteran right-hander arrived at Cincinnati's camp late after running into travel […]

Joey Logano Should Be Excellent DFS Choice Sunday

Joey Logano is just inside the top 10 for his start on Sunday in the Instacart 500. That may suit him rather well. Logano and this raceway set up well together. Last year, the Team Penske driver finished on the podium both times and won the spring race with ease. He had led at least […]

Kyle Busch Has Track Record To Contend At Phoenix

Kyle Busch has shown the ability to win races at Phoenix. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won three times in 31 appearances. That includes a string of nine top-five finishes in his previous 11 results. Last season, Busch had a few issues but still managed a third in the Spring race. The Instacart 500 […]

Christopher Bell Has Little Upside At Phoenix

The good news is that Christopher Bell gets a top-five start on Sunday for the Instacart 500. The bad news is that the Joe Gibbs Racing driver just may not fare quite as well. He finished outside the top-15 in both races last season. The expectation is that Bell will fall out of the top-five […]

Martin Truex Jr. Enjoys Some DFS Upside Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. represents a risky DFS pick for the Instacart 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has had some car issues throughout the season. It has kept him from winning at least one race and maybe two. Starting fifth this week may be helpful. He has been in contention in six of the previous […]

Don't Expect Kyle Larson To Win In Phoenix

Kyle Larson does start from the second spot on Sunday for the Instacart 500. Last week, the Hendrick Motorsports driver found a way to not only win in Vegas but he won convincingly at the end. Could he do it again this week? The answer seems to be no based on the numbers but a […]

Chase Elliott Another Favorite At Phoenix on Sunday

Can Chase Elliott put it all together? The Hendrick Motorsports driver had a nice run going in Vegas until a spin-out ruined his day. Elliott has +600 odds to win the Instacart 500 on Sunday and one of the big reasons is he can rack up laps led. Elliott led a total of 246 laps […]

Kevin Harvick Should Improve Track Position At Phoenix

Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick should be able to improve position-wise at Phoenix. Harvick starts from the 18th spot for the Instacart 500. This is a track he excels at, winning nine times in 36 races. He has ended up in the top 10 15 consecutive times, including a dozen top-five results. Does he have […]

Denny Hamlin The Favorite To Win In Phoenix

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin is a very slight favorite (+500) to grab the checkered flag on Sunday in Phoenix. Hamlin starts in the third position and has enjoyed a mostly solid car all season. With four different winners on the season, could Hamlin be the fifth? He has the finishes at the track […]

Brad Keselowski Expected To Contend In Phoenix

Team Penske driver Brad Keselowski raced very well at Phoenix last year. In the spring race, Keselowski led 82 laps before a self-inflicted error got in the way. Keselowski nearly won the fall edition, as he finished in second after starting in third place. This time around, he starts from the pole. That means he […]

Josh Jung Sent To Minor League Camp

Texas Rangers third base prospect Josh Jung has been re-assigned to the team's minor league camp, suggesting that Jung is going to start the 2021 season in the minors. The team's top prospect right now, Jung will have a good chance to make it up to the big leagues at some point in 2021, and […]

Russell Westbrook With 25 Points In Friday's Loss

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook scored 25 points on 10-for-19 shooting in Friday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, going 2-for-4 from three and 3-for-7 from the stripe. Westbrook also added eight assists, five rebounds, and one steal. Averaging his fewest points since 2010, Westbrook has now hit the 20-point mark in five consecutive games […]

Dwight Howard Grabs 10 Rebounds On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard scored six points on 2-for-4 shooting in Friday's win over the Washington Wizards. He also grabbed 10 rebounds, plus added an assist and a block. Howard played 18 minutes, but could see an increase in usage going forward after Joel Embiid exited with a knee injury. Keep an eye out […]

Joel Embiid Will Get MRI On Knee

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will have an MRI on his knee after exiting Friday's game against the Wizards. Embiid went to the floor after a dunk, but was able to limp off the floor. It sounds like Embiid hyper-extended the knee and should avoid any long-term issue, but he could wind up missing some […]

Lonzo Ball Struggles From Deep

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball scored just three points on 1-for-7 shooting in Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed four rebounds and dished out six assists. Ball was 1-for-5 from three and also blocked one shot and recorded a steal. He'll face the Clippers on Sunday, who allow opponents to […]

Brandon Ingram With 28 Points In Win Over Cavs

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram scored 28 points on 11-for-14 shooting in Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists. Ingram was 3-for-6 from three and also blocked one shot. He'll face the Clippers on Sunday, who allow opponents to shoot the ninth-lowest percentage from […]

Kevin Love Plays Sparingly In Return

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) played his first game since December on Friday against the Pelicans, but Love wasn't suddenly thrust back into a huge role. The veteran played just 10 minutes, scoring four points on 1-for-4 shooting and adding in one rebound as well. He was 1-for-3 from deep. Love's still a talented […]
