James Conner May Not Return After This Season

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner could be playing his final year with the club in 2020, according to Cody Flavell of Sports Illustrated. With Conner's health seemingly always in question for one reason or another and the organization looking to save cash for other signings beyond the season, Flavell believes Pittsburgh may not be […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Part Of A Small Group

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is one of only four wideouts since 2018 to have not dropped a catchable pass, according to Pro Football Focus. This was another welcome statistic for the 23-year-old who had a breakout year in 2019 by finishing with 73 receptions for just over 1,000 receiving yards and eight […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our coverage of Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks for FanDuel and DraftKings. We have another great series of matches at the CS Summit today. We’ve had a nice run of four-match slates at this tournament and there’s no shortage of star power on this slate by any means. Today I'll […]

Brian Dozier And Juan Lagares Left Off Padres Player Pool

The San Diego Padres 2020 player pool unveiled Sunday omitted second baseman Brian Dozier and outfielder Juan Lagares. The two veterans are still under contract so it’s possible they rejoin the Friars later in summer camp. Dozier’s absence is a boost to projected starter Jurickson Profar, who will now have less competition for at-bats. Young […]

Ryan Blaney Falls To 22nd At Pocono

Penske Racing's Ryan Blaney finished 22nd after being involved in an incident in Sunday's Pocono 350 at Pocono Raceway. Blaney started ninth and looked to have the car to beat in the early stages, leading 21 laps. On lap 76, Kyle Busch's No. 18 had to check up for lap traffic, and Blaney, who was […]

Aric Almirola Continues His Hot Streak At Pocono

Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola picked up his fourth straight top-five, finishing fifth in Sunday's Pocono 350 at Pocono Raceway. Almirola started 18th and methodically worked his way through the field. While he was nowhere near as strong as yesterday, when he was out front for almost half of the race, Almirola managed to lead the […]

Denny Hamlin Wins His Sixth Pocono Race

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin continued his dominance at Pocono Raceway by winning Sunday's Pocono 350. The win is Hamlin's sixth career victory at Pocono, tying him with Jeff Gordon for most all-time wins at the track. In a complete role reversal from yesterday's race, Hamlin and the No. 11 team used a brilliant strategy, […]

Clippers Signing Joakim Noah Through 2020-2021

Los Angeles Clippers center Joakim Noah is going to be around a little longer than first expected. The veteran center is signing a deal for the rest of this season, but will also return to the team next season as well. The 35-year-old big man won't have much fantasy value as the third string center. […]

James Johnson Expected To Exercise Player Option

Minnesota Timberwolves forward James Johnson is expected to exercise his $16 million player option for next season. The 33-year-old forward averaged 12.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season. He'll be a nice veteran presence to the organization, but is not expected to have a huge role. Johnson saw a significant amount of playing […]

Nets Signing Justin Anderson

Free-agent forward Justin Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Veteran forward Wilson Chandler is opting out of the restart, so Anderson will take his place. The 26-year-old has not made much of an impact since joining the league in 2016. He struggles offensively, but Anderson is known as being a strong […]

Wilson Chandler Will Sit Out During Restart

Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler has decided to opt out of the upcoming NBA restart. The veteran forward says that health concerns and his family are the main factors as to why he is deciding to sit out. Caris Levert and Joe Harris should see an uptick in playing time with Chandler out. Taurean Prince […]

D.J. Moore In Line For Best Season Yet?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore could be in line for a Pro Bowl season, according to Sports Illustrated's Schuyler Callihan. The 23-year-old emerged as one of the most dynamic wideouts in 2019 by compiling 87 catches for 1,175 yards and four touchdowns and did so despite the season-ending injury to Cam Newton and the […]

Nate Pearson Cracks Blue Jays Initial Player Pool

Toronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Nate Pearson has officially made the team’s initial 60-man player pool for the shortened 2020 season. The flamethrowing right-hander was opening eyes during spring training in March with his swing-and-miss ability, but was still destined for some more fine-tuning in the minors before the suspension of the regular season. […]

David Peterson Named To Mets 60-Man Player Pool

New York Mets pitcher David Peterson has reportedly made the Mets 60-man player pool for the 2020 season. Peterson, the Mets top draft pick in 2017, was originally scheduled to begin the season at Triple-A back in March. However, because of Noah Syndergaard's injury, Michael Wacha will likely move into the starting rotation, leaving a […]

Luis Severino Placed On The 60-Day Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list on Sunday. Severino underwent Tommy John surgery in late February and will miss the entire 2020 season as he recovers, with an expected return in June of next season. Severino is an elite fantasy option when healthy with a 3.13 […]

Jonathan Lucroy Expected To Be Part Of Red Sox 60-Player Pool

Despite not being listed on the initial 47-player list invited to camp due to the framework of his contract, Boston Red Sox catcher Jonathan Lucroy is expected to be included in the pool of players invited to camp ahead of July 1, according to a source. The veteran will join five catchers who were on […]

Yankees Sign Matt Duffy

New York Yankees infielder Matt Duffy signed with the team and was added to their 60-man roster. A shoulder injury held Duffy to only 46 games last season, but he’s a year removed from a solid .294 batting average and 12 stolen bases. A reverse platoon split and defensive versatility should allow Duffy to find […]

Matt Kemp Not On Marlins Initial Player-Pool List

Miami Marlins outfielder Matt Kemp was not included on the team's preliminary 60-man player pool list. The Marlins list only has 57 players on it for now, so Kemp still has a chance, but reports say the veteran outfielder just did not make much of an impression on the Marlins during the first spring training. […]

Edgar Santana Hit With 80-Game Suspension

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Edgar Santana has been given an 80-game suspension by Major League Baseball on Sunday after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance. Santana missed all of last season after having Tommy John surgery. The 28-year-old Dominican right-hander has a 3.31 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 7.9 K/9 for the Pirates in 88 […]

Trey Mancini Placed On 60-Day DL

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Trey Mancini will be put on the 60-day disabled list for the shortened 2020 season after having surgery in March to remove a tumor from his colon. With the risk of COVID-19 on top of it, Mancini will understandably sit out this season. It's a shame, since he was one of […]

Aristides Aquino Won't Join Big League Camp

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino, who hit 19 home runs in 225 plate appearances with a 122 OPS+ last year, didn't make the cut for the big league camp in Cincinnati for spring training 2.0. Aquino will instead report to the team's satellite camp. He burst onto the scene out of nowhere in 2019, but […]

Pablo Sandoval, Billy Hamilton Part Of 60-Player Pool

The San Francisco Giants will carry second baseman Yolmer Sanchez, corner infielder Pablo Sandoval, starting pitcher Trevor Cahill and outfielder Billy Hamilton in their 60-player pool for the shortened 2020 season, according to a source. The Giants released all four players on Sunday and then re-signed them to minor league deals in a clerical move. […]

Brent Honeywell Jr. Recovering Nicely

Tampa Bay Rays general manager Erik Neander said that starting pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr.'s (elbow) recovery is going "really well." However, Honeywell isn't on the team's 60-man player pool for the shortened 2020 season because the Rays wanted to go with active players. The team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, the 25-year-old right-hander has […]

Vladimir Gutierrez Suspended 80 Games

MLB announced that they have suspended Cincinnati Reds right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez for 80 games after he tested positive for Stanozolol, violating the Minor League Drug Prevention program. Gutierrez, 24, made 27 starts for the Reds in Triple-A last season and was tentatively expected to make his MLB debut at some point during the 2020 season. […]

Emanuel Hall Suffers Torn Achilles

Washington Redskins wide receiver Emanuel Hall (Achilles) announced on Instagram that he tore his Achilles while working out and is expected to miss the 2020 season. Hall, an undrafted free agent out of Missouri, previously had stints with the Bears and Buccaneers practice squads but has yet to appear in an NFL game. The speedster […]

Connor McGovern Thinks Le'Veon Bell Is Special

New York Jets center Connor McGovern thinks running back Le'Veon Bell is "a special player" despite disappointing with only 789 rushing yards and 3.2 yards per carry in 2019. The Jets brought in seven new offensive lineman this offseason in hopes of improving a unit that was one of the league's worst last season. McGovern […]

Phillies Release Drew Storen And Matt Szczur

The Philadelphia Phillies released relief pitcher Drew Storen and outfielder Matt Szczur ahead of Sunday's deadline to submit their pool of 60 players eligible to participate in the 2020 season. Both players were non-roster invitees prior to spring training earlier in the year. Storen pitched to a 4.45 ERA in 54 2/3 innings with the […]

Marquise Brown Having Great Offseason

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said he thinks wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) has "had a great offseason physically." Brown had an up-and-down rookie season while dealing with a Lisfranc injury that required surgery. Despite playing only 14 games, he still managed to finish as a top-50 fantasy wideout in a run-first offense. It […]
