LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Versus Pistons

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both injuries appear to be minor, but the Lakers like to list them on the injury report anyway. It's highly unlikely that either of them sit out for this game. Fantasy managers […]

Ben Roethlisberger Wants To Return In 2021

Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II said that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has told the team that he wants to return in 2021. However, the Steelers cannot afford Roethlisberger's $41.2 million salary cap hit. But if the two sides can agree to a contract alteration for the 2021 season, Roethlisberger is expected to return, and he […]

Dinelson Lamet Having Good Offseason

San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller said that starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (biceps), who was shut down prior to the playoffs last year, is having a great offseason health-wise. The Padres acquisitions of starters Blake Snell, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove this offseason were more geared for the jump from a 60-game regular season […]

Trevor Rosenthal's Stock On The Rise

Free-agent relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal was a top-tier reliever in 2020 with the Royals and Padres and is one of the top available relief arms on the open market. Rosenthal was one of MLB's best relievers from 2012-17 with the Cardinals, but Tommy John surgery caused him to miss all of 2018 and he was […]

Big Night From J.T. Miller Leads Canucks Over Senators

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller picked up two goals and an assist Wednesday night as Vancouver topped Ottawa 5-1. Miller also tacked on four penalty minutes, four hits, and four shots on goal to round out a tremendous fantasy night for the veteran winger. While Miller now sits with eight points in six games this […]

Josh Norris Scores Lone Goal in Loss for Senators

Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris tallied his second goal of the season Wednesday night, providing the only offense that Ottawa could muster in a 5-1 loss to the Canucks. Norris did his damage on the power play, with assists from Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson, and collected a team-high seven shots on net as well. […]

Reds Considering Amed Rosario

The Cincinnati Reds have been discussing whether a trade with Cleveland for shortstop Amed Rosario might make sense. Rosario was traded to Cleveland by the New York Mets in the blockbuster trade that involved shortstop Francisco Lindor. The 25-year-old was one of the main pieces in the Lindor trade, but the Indians have flexibility because […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 6

Week 6 already? It was just yesterday that I was flummoxed by the quick turnaround to the season. Time flies when you're having fun, right? Fantasy hoops is our joy but it hasn't been all fun and games this season. Injuries, postponements, and COVID have made this season more MASH than NBA is faaaaaaantastic. As […]

Mets Could Be More Likely To Land Trevor Bauer

The New York Mets trade of starting pitcher Steven Matz to the Toronto Blue Jays doesn't necessarily mean that free-agent right-hander Trevor Bauer will be signing with New York, but it does open the door wider. The Mets now have an extra $5.2 million of payroll space and a vacancy in the starting rotation. One […]

Trey Mancini To Primarily Play First Base

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that the team's plan is to have outfielder Trey Mancini primarily play first base going forward due to outfielder Anthony Santander's emergence in right field and the interesting mix of young outfielders the team has both on the 40-man roster and in the minor leagues. Even though Mancini […]

Starting Pitchers to Target Late - LIMA Plan

The LIMA (Low Investment Mound Aces) Plan is a long-standing draft strategy that was developed far before 2021 but it seems more applicable now than ever. FSWA Hall of Fame member Ron Shandler developed the strategy around the turn of the millennium due to the heavy emphasis on starting pitching in most drafts, leading him […]

Adam Frazier Being Discussed On Trade Market

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier is being discussed on the trade market and could be the next player that the Pirates move as they continue to rebuild. The Pirates have already traded starting pitcher Jameson Taillon to the Yankees, right-hander Joe Musgrove to the Padres and first baseman Josh Bell to the Nationals this […]

Angels Not In On Trevor Bauer

The Los Angeles Angels have been searching for an ace for their starting rotation for years, with virtually no success. They continue to search for a front-line starter, but free-agent right-hander Trevor Bauer, who won the National League Cy Young in 2020, is unlikely to land with the Halos. The 29-year-old had a 1.73 ERA […]

Deshaun Watson Officially Requests Trade

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson officially requested a trade from the team, according to league sources. Watson actually requested a trade weeks ago. The Texans hired a new head coach in David Culley on Thursday, but it will not change Watson's mind. The star signal-caller signed a four-year, $156 million extension with the team in […]

Texans To Hire David Culley As Head Coach

The Houston Texans are working toward a deal for Baltimore Ravens assistant head coach David Culley to become their next head coach.

Masahiro Tanaka Signs With The Rakuten Golden Eagles

Free-agent starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka signed a one-year contract with the Rakuten Golden Eagles on Thursday after his market failed to materialize in the ice-cold MLB offseason. Tanaka enjoyed a successful seven-year stint with the Yankees, leaving the team with a solid 3.74 ERA and several strong playoff performances. With COVID-19 hopefully a non-issue in […]

Blue Jays Trade For Steven Matz

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz was traded to the Blue Jays on Wednesday in exchange for young right-handers Sean Reid-Foley, Josh Winckowski and Yennsy Diaz. Matz endured a brutal 2020 season that saw him post a 9.68 ERA over 30.2 innings, but the 29-year-old has shown flashes of success during his major-league career, […]

Hideki Matsuyama A Solid Fantasy Option At Farmers

Hideki Matsuyama consistently frustrates his DFS backers with horrible putting performances, but his ball-striking ability is tough to ignore this week. Matsuyama finished 2020 ranked second on the PGA Tour in strokes gained tee-to-green. That proficiency serves him well on tough golf courses like the one he'll face this week at Torrey Pines. The Japanese […]

Will Zalatoris Set To Make First Start Of 2021

Will Zalatoris is set to make his first start of 2021 this week at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Matthew Wolff's Length An Advantage At Torrey Pines

Matthew Wolff is set to tee it up in the Farmers Insurance Open. Wolff logged a T21 in his Farmers debut last year. His exceptional length off the tee will be an advantage on this week's 7,765-yard Torrey Pines South layout. The 21-year-old averaged just over 311 yards off the tee last year, a mark […]

Patrick Kane Logs Huge Minutes Wednesday Night

Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane put in one hell of a shift in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to Nashville, logging a game-high 27:17 on the ice. Sadly it didn't help him get any points on the board, even with four shots on goal. He also had five efforts that went off the target. The […]

Malik Beasley Produces 25-Point Outing Wednesday Night

James Wiseman Scores Team-High 25 Points

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman had a very productive bench outing in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, recording a team-high 25 points in 24 minutes. He was a perfect 3-for-3 from deep and shot 9-for-14 overall from the field while adding six rebounds and two blocks. Wiseman has scored at least 15 points in four […]
