Andrei Vasilevskiy Posts First Shutout Of The Season

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy recorded his first shutout of the season in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Carolina, pushing aside 25 shots. Ross Colton scored in his first NHL game and Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow finished off the scoring. Vasilevskiy has a tough time last week with a pair of losses, but he's […]

Joaquin Niemann Looking For Consistency

Joaquin Niemann was in a great position halfway through his Saturday round last week at Riviera until a streak of bogeys derailed him, leading to a T43 finish. He did show some encouraging flashes, ranking fourth in strokes gained off the tee and eighth in strokes gained around the green. His driving distance should help […]

Jrue Holiday Unlikely To Rejoin Team For Thursday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Jrue Holiday has been deemed doubtful to clear the league's health and safety protocols in time to suit up for Thursday's contest versus New Orleans. Holiday went for 22 points and a season-high nine rebounds in his first meeting against his former team back on Jan. 29, but it appears as […]

Sergio Garcia Looking To Improve On Approach Shots

Sergio Garcia missed the cut last week at Riviera and will look to rebound this week at Concession. His length off the tee can certainly be an advantage, but he will need to be a bit more accurate. Garcia has also been very inconsistent with his irons, and he ranks just 159th in approaches from […]

Abdel Nader Will Suit Up For Wednesday’s Game

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Abdel Nader (thumb) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's contest versus the Hornets. Nader has seen his role with the second unit decrease over the past six games, averaging just 5.1 minutes on a nightly basis. His lack of consistent playing time means that he has little chance to impact […]

Jordan Binnington Faces Streaking Kings

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington will be between the pipes when the red-hot Los Angeles Kings come to visit on Wednesday. L.A. has notched five straight wins ahead of the meeting, with the last one coming on Monday against the Blues with a 3-0 scoreline. Binnington has lost three of his last four starts, […]

Kevin Na Not A Great DFS Option At Concession

Kevin Na had a T38 finish last week at Riviera and will look to build on that this week at Concession. However, this course does not set up great for Na's style of play. His lack of length off the tee will put him at a bit of a disadvantage, and he also ranks just […]

Darcy Kuemper Takes On Ducks Again

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will face the Anaheim Ducks in a rematch on Wednesday after registering a 4-3 win with 25 saves against them on Monday. He took his record for the year to 6-7-2 and now has a 2.33 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage with one shutout. Monday marked only the […]

Elfrid Payton On Track To Miss First Game This Year Thursday

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been tagged as doubtful to suit up for Thursday's game against the Kings. Payton has started each of New York's 32 contests to begin the season, with his absence paving the way for Immanuel Quickley to potentially vault into the starting five for the first time […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Tries To Stay Hot Versus Colorado

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will go for his fourth consecutive win in Wednesday's matchup with Colorado. He's improved his record for the season to 6-4-0 and has a 2.41 goals-against average with a .915 save percentage. Kahkonen is among the in-form goalies in the league, but it must be noted that two of his […]

Dillon Brooks Picks Up Questionable Tag For Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard/small forward Dillon Brooks (thigh) has been deemed questionable to return for Thursday's contest versus the Clippers due to a sore right thigh. Brooks has missed the team's last three outings due to the ailment, ceding way to Desmond Bane and Grayson Allen, who will both continue to hold short-term streamer appeal […]

Brandon Saad Won't Play On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche winger Brandon Saad (personal) is out for Wednesday's meeting with the Wild. Matt Calvert is set to be his replacement on the second line. Saad and his wife are expecting a baby, so his absence won't be a long-term thing. The former Blackhawk has four goals and 10 points in 15 outings this […]

Philipp Grubauer Looks To Return To Winning Ways

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer will make his 14th start of the year in Wednesday's home game against Minnesota. He'll try and get back to winning ways after getting no goal support in Monday's 3-0 loss to Vegas. Grubauer has just two losses in his last eight starts, with the Avalanche getting shut out on […]

Gordon Hayward Receives Thumbs Up To Play Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns after departing his latest outing due to a hand ailment. Hayward's presence on the floor knocks down the DFS appeal of both Miles Bridges and Malik Monk, who both stood to see increased roles offensively should Hayward […]

Abraham Ancer Looks To Take Advantage Of Accuracy

Abraham Ancer missed the cut for the second time this season last week at Riviera but has mostly played well this season. He will look to take advantage of his accuracy this week at Concession, ranking fourth in driving accuracy and 20th in greens in regulation percentage. Ancer is very good with his approaches from […]

Jerami Grant Will Be Held Out For Wednesday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons small/power forward Jerami Grant (rest) will be unavailable for the first time this season Wednesday against New Orleans due to rest purposes. Grant has been one of the breakout stars of the 2020-21 campaign to this point, with his absence opening Detroit's roster up for significant increases in production across the board. Sekou […]

Gary Woodland A Poor Play At Concession

Gary Woodland has struggled so far this season, and it is difficult to see him breaking out of his slump this week. He has missed back-to-back cuts and four of his last six. His lack of accuracy off the tee is putting him in bad spots, so he currently ranks 206th in greens in regulation. […]

New Orleans Clears Steven Adams For Return Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, stemming his absence due to a sprained right ankle at two contests. Willy Hernangomez has been bumped back to the second unit, zapping him of nearly all of the fantasy intrigue that he […]

Marc Leishman Not An Attractive Play At WGC-Workday

Marc Leishman had a decent T32 finish last week at Riviera and will look to build on that this week. He had three consecutive top-25 finishes prior to last week, but there is not a whole lot that points to him putting together a solid outing. He is not long off the tee and is […]

Goran Dragic, Chris Silva Cleared To Play Wednesday

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (ankle) and center Chris Silva (hip) have both been given the thumbs up to get back into action Wednesday against the Raptors. Dragic missed the team's previous nine contests with an ankle sprain, so it's likely that he faces a capped workload in some capacity during his first outing […]

Below, you'll find some analysis of some of the tight ends that should be drafted this year. They're in no particular order other than […]

Tyler Herro Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Toronto due to a hip ailment. Without Herro leading the second unit, Kendrick Nunn can be relied upon as a source of scoring production. Herro has thrived to the tune of a 16.3 PPG average in eight games since joining […]

Dean Wade Draws Second Straight Start Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Dean Wade is back among the starting five for Wednesday's game against Houston, which marks his second consecutive start. Wade earned the spot Tuesday with Taurean Prince (ankle) unavailable, but even with Prince back in the mix versus the Rockets, Wade will stick with the starting group. Despite his presence as […]

Jeff Teague Enters Starting Five Wednesday

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Jeff Teague will start Wednesday's contest versus the Hawks in place of Kemba Walker (knee, rest). Teague has averaged 9.3 PPG in his three previous starts this year, as he'll have solid punt play appeal when facing his former team. With Walker out of the mix, Payton Pritchard also draws DFS […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Enters WGC-Workday With Momentum

Matthew Fitzpatrick can take a lot of positives from his T5 finish last week at Riviera. His short game was stellar, gaining over 5.5 strokes on and around the green, giving him his first top-10 finish since August of 2020. Fitzpatrick will look to stay hot with his wedges, currently ranking 26th in strokes gained […]

Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon Cleared To Return Wednesday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guards Victor Oladipo (foot) and Eric Gordon (ankle) have been given the thumbs up to get back into action Wednesday against Cleveland. Oladipo had missed the previous four games, but he will return to his starting gig with no mention of a minutes limit. Despite that, Oladipo has played just 20 minutes […]

John Collins Will Suit Up For Wednesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins (concussion) has been cleared to take the floor for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. Collins departed Tuesday's outing early to undergo evaluation for a concussion, but he has clearly passed the requisite testing and can be expected to carry his traditional workload. Danilo Gallinari and Solomon Hill had been […]

Tommy Fleetwood Set To Tackle Concession

Tommy Fleetwood makes his return to the PGA Tour this week. It will be his first start since November of 2020, and he was not playing well before his hiatus. Fleetwood has just one top-20 finish since March of 2020, and a lot of his struggles can be attributed to poor ball-striking. He ranks 201st […]

Jon Anderson's Second Base Tiered Rankings and Projections

Happy drafting season everybody! We are back with another tiered ranking look, this time at second base. You can read about first base here. The way I went about this was to use current projections for each player and then average out each player's percentile rank in each of the five standard rotisserie categories (R, […]
