Kawhi Leonard Questionable, Marcus Morris Doubtful
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is questionable, while forward Marcus Morris is doubtful for Thursday against the Wizards.

Paul […]

2021 Keeper Value Rankings - First Base
Many many years ago, I noticed the managers in my long-time keeper league were consistently making terrible keeper decisions year after year.

Jerami Grant, Josh Jackson Ruled Out Against Raptors
Detroit Pistons forwards Jerami Grant (quad) and Josh Jackson (illness) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Toronto.

Jimmy Butler Questionable For Thursday's Game
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable for Thursday's contest with the Pelicans. After a two-game absence, Butler is making the trip with the team, which is probably a good sign for his status against New Orleans.

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - Arnold Palmer Invitational
It's great to be back RotoBallers! We didn't have a HFTC article last week due to the WGC-Workday Championship taking place on a brand-new course, The Concession. The Jack Nicklaus-designed track proved to be a cool layout and is one that we'll hopefully see on the PGA Tour again in some capacity. Collin Morikawa turned […]

Harris English Still Slumping
After a breakthrough win at the Sentry Tournament of Champions to open the new year, Harris English has struggled mightily in his subsequent 2021 starts.
