Cesar Hernandez Rejoins Roster Wednesday, Not In Lineup

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez was activated off of the paternity list prior to Wednesday’s contest versus the Cubs, but will not re-enter the starting lineup yet. Yu Chang will hold down the keystone against southpaw Jon Lester, with Hernandez presumably available off of the bench. Hernandez enters play Wednesday leading the American League […]

Eagles Defense A Middling Week 2 Option

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is a decent option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. They played well for a while in Week 1 before fading near the end of the game and letting the Washington Football Team take home a win. Still, they showed their upside and should be in a close enough game against the […]

Mike Clevinger Sees Improvement Upon Joining Padres

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Mike Clevinger entered the 2020 campaign as a dark-horse candidate for the American League Cy Young Award. He won’t achieve that honor, but through his first three starts with San Diego, he looks as if he could be in consideration for the award come 2021 over in the National League. […]

Jake Elliott OK As A Week 2 Kicker

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a decent option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The Eagles-Rams game could be a somewhat low-scoring affair, so neither kicker in the matchup makes for a top option, but Elliott is a consistent enough kicker to be worth a stream for desperate fantasy managers. He's ranked as the K14 […]

Dallas Goedert Looks To Build On A Great Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a strong fantasy starting option in Week 2. Goedert was fantastic in Week 1, essentially running the Eagles offense with eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. He's still officially "behind" Zach Ertz on the depth chart, but the Eagles run a majority of their offensive formations […]

Casey Mize Aims To Earn First Win Thursday

Detroit Tigers top prospect Casey Mize has shown flashes of what made him the No. 1 overall pick in 2018 throughout the first five starts of his Major League career. On Thursday, he faces Cleveland, a favorable matchup with the club having posted a collective .686 OPS through its first 48 games. While Mize will […]

Zach Ertz Still A Top Tight End Option In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz had a mostly disappointing Week 1 despite catching a touchdown, but he remains an excellent fantasy option in any format. Ertz ended up being targeted seven times in Week 1, but caught just three passes for 18 yards. Ertz was resoundingly outplayed by Dallas Goedert in Week 1, but […]

Patrick Sandoval Rejoins Active Roster As Reliever

Los Angeles Angels left-handed pitcher Patrick Sandoval was recalled to the big league club prior to Wednesday’s contest against Arizona, with manager Joe Maddon stating that Sandoval would be used primarily out of relief. All five of Sandoval’s appearances this season have come as a starter, having compiled a 6.75 ERA with six home runs […]

Alex Bregman Sees Power Numbers Dip In 2020

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has tagged just four home runs in his first 30 games during the 2020 campaign. His 34.4% Hard Hit rate is a significant drop-off from his production over the last two years, while he has delivered a barrel rate of just 4.3%. Fortunately for Bregman, he’ll play his next […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Allegedly Still Exists

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside still plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, according to their official roster. Arcega-Whiteside was propped up all offseason as a possible breakout candidate, especially given the lack of other options at wide receiver for the Eagles. So, in Week 1, with the Eagles desperate for offense...Arcega-Whiteside was not even targeted. […]

Joshua Kelley (RB, LAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley had an extremely promising NFL debut this past week, carrying the ball 12 times for 60 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kelley entered the game in a battle with Justin Jackson (quad) for the No. 2 […]

Greg Ward Suddenly A Key Part Of The Eagles Offense

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward has suddenly once again become a key piece of the Eagles passing game. With injuries ravaging the Eagles roster like usual, Ward saw seven targets in Week 1, catching five passes for 31 yards. The Rams Defense tends to limit deep balls, so it's possible that DeSean Jackson and […]

James Paxton Shifts To 45-Day Injured List

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher James Paxton (elbow) was moved to the club’s 45-day injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest against Toronto. Paxton had sustained a setback on the comeback trail, necessitating an additional shutdown. His transfer to the extended IL all but ends his regular season fantasy outlook, as the best-case scenario now likely […]

Jalen Reagor Not A Reliable Starter Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor is not a recommended fantasy starter for Week 2 lineups. Reagor should absolutely be rostered in most formats, but he needs to show more on the field before he can be trusted in a starting lineup. The rookie was targeted four times in Week 1, catching just one […]

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (shoulder) is in consideration to start this weekend against the White Sox as the club attempts to figure out it’s starting rotation. Miley has been beset by numerous injuries in 2020, which have limited him to just four starts. In his time on the mound, he has not been […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

It feels like the baseball season has just started, but we are reaching the conclusion. Alas, that is life in a 60-game season. For fantasy purposes that means it's either playoff time or the final couple of weeks to try and make up ground in Roto leagues. Either way, the waiver wire may not be […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Late-Season Arms and Bats

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

DeSean Jackson A Risky Week 2 Start

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a risky start in Week 2 fantasy lineups. In Week 1, Jackson was targeted seven times but only caught two passes, totaling 46 yards. The Rams Defense is great at limiting deep passes, and that's where Jackson's game thrives. There's always the chance that he effectively blows the […]

Steven Matz In Consideration For Start Saturday

New York Mets left-handed pitcher Steven Matz will not work out of the bullpen Wednesday against Philadelphia, primarily due to the fact that he could rejoin the club’s starting rotation this weekend versus Atlanta. Matz has made just one relief appearance since being removed from the starting staff due to the 9.00 ERA that he […]
