Anthony Rendon In 4-For-22 Skid

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will be looking for some home cooking when the Angels host the Astros on Friday. Rendon currently is stuck in a 4-for-22 slump but he has been absolutely fantastic hitting at Angel Stadium this year. Through 20 home games, Rendon is slashing .313/.483/.687 with five doubles, six home […]

Mike Trout Posting 1.157 OPS At Home

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will look to continue to stay hot at home Friday when the Angels host the Astros. Trout is starting to heat up again, slashing .320/.438/.720 over his last 25 at-bats with three home runs and nine runs batted in. The perennial All-Star has also been white-hot at home, slashing […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Out To Solve Road Woes

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers will start Friday against the Angels in Anaheim. McCullers Jr. (3-2) has struggled heavily on the road this season, going 0-2 in three starts with a 11.37 ERA while allowing a .370 opponents batting average away from Minute Maid Park. McCullers Jr. was rocked by the Angels in their home […]

Dylan Bundy Hopes August Success Continues

Los Angeles Angels starter Dylan Bundy (4-2) will take the mound Friday against the Astros after an excellent month of August. Bundy is 3-1 over his last five starts with a 2.32 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 32 strikeouts over his last 31 innings. The 27-year-old has been one of the biggest pitching surprises this season, […]

Bo Bichette Could Return Sooner Than Expected

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) might be ahead of his September projection, according to Rob Longley. On Thursday, Bichette went through a workout that included base running and batting practice. That was the first time he was able to do those activities since going down with his right knee injury. The Blue Jays […]

Aaron Jones Primed For Another Strong Season

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will play a huge role in 2020 as the focal point of the Packers offense. Jones enjoyed a career season in 2019, posting 1,558 all-purpose yards with 49 receptions and 19 total touchdowns. While his touchdown totals may regress a smidge this season, Jones still has averaged 5.0 […]

Cole Hamels To Throw On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Cole Hamels (triceps) will throw live batting practice on Sunday. This will be the first time that he has faced live hitters since going down with left triceps tendinitis back in July. The Braves are expected to re-evaluate Hamels after the session. He could be able to rejoin the starting rotation […]

Nick Foles In Tight Race At Quarterback

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles will find out over the weekend whether he will be named starter for Week 1 against the Lions. Foles was acquired in the offseason from the Jaguars and the veteran has been competing with incumbent starter Mitch Trubisky for the lead job. Foles' career has been a rollercoaster, from exploding […]

Sonny Gray Has Next Start Pushed Back

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray will have his next start pushed back. It doesn't sound like he is dealing with an injury. He was scheduled to start Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but will have that pushed back. Instead, he'll start early next week against the Chicago Cubs. The team wants to give him […]

Mitchell Trubisky Awaits Coach's Decision

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky should find out in the coming days whether he will be leading the offense in Week 1 against the Lions. Trubisky has been in a close competition for the starting job with veteran Nick Foles in a race that has been categorized as "very close". Trubisky's arrow was pointing up […]

Adam Eaton Sits Out First Game Of Doubleheader

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) is not in the starting lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. He jammed his knee while attempting to run out a sac bunt on Thursday. It's unclear if he'll be available for the second game of the night. Michael Taylor will take over […]

Tarik Cohen's Value On The Rise

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen's value will be on the rise heading into fantasy draft's this weekend, as it looks increasingly possible that starter David Montgomery misses Week 1 with a groin injury. It was a wildly disappointing season for the diminutive playmaker in 2019 after he racked up 1,169 all-purpose yards in 2018. […]

Gio Urshela Hits 10-Day Injured List

New York Yankees infielder Gio Urshela (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He has been battling a bone spur in his right elbow over the last week or so. It's unclear how much time he is going to miss at the moment. The Yankees are a bit banged up on the infield, […]

Steelers Hopeful David DeCastro Will Be Ready

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro missed another practice on Friday and has barely practiced in training camp with a lower-body issue, but head coach Mike Tomlin is hopeful that DeCastro will be ready for the Monday night game in Week 1. DeCastro has missed just two regular season games in nine years in the […]

Ken Giles To Throw Simulated Game Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Ken Giles (forearm) is expected to throw a simulated game on Saturday. More information should be known about his timetable after the session. He has been sidelined since late July due to a strained right forearm. Giles could be activated soon if everything goes well. Fantasy owners should keep an […]

Sam Sloman Expected To Win Kicking Job

Los Angeles Rams kicker Sam Sloman is expected to win the kicking job with Greg Zuerlein no longer around, according to sources informed of the situation. Sloman was a seventh-round pick out of Miami (Ohio) -- head coach Sean McVay's alma mater. He beat out Lirim Hajrullahu and Austin MacGinnis in training camp and the […]

Jorge Soler Returns To The Lineup

Kansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to right oblique irritation and hip tightness. Soler sat out of Thursday's game to rest, but appears ready to go here. He'll serve […]

Titans Have Made Offer To Jadeveon Clowney

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said the team has made an offer to defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. The Titans, Saints and Seahawks are the three teams known to be aggressively pursuing the Pro Bowl pass-rusher with the start of the regular season next week. The 27-year-old can be a game-wrecker in opposing backfields when […]

Nick Anderson Activated From Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He has been sidelined the last couple of weeks due to inflammation in his right forearm. However, he has been throwing lately without any issues, so he's expected to jump back into high leverage situations. Anderson should be in […]

Jacque Vaughn Will Remain On Nets Staff

Brooklyn Nets coach Jacque Vaughn will remain on the team's coaching staff next season. He'll be the top assistant to new head coach Steve Nash. Vaughn did a fantastic job of leading the team after Kenny Atkinson was let go. He got a short handed Nets team to fight hard during the bubble and in […]

Spurs Attempted To Trade LaMarcus Aldridge

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge was reportedly being shopped around during the February deadline. The 35-year-old center has one year left on his deal worth $24 million for next season. It sounds like the Spurs overvalued Aldridge at the deadline and couldn't find a suitor. It'll be interesting to see if they revisit the […]

DeMar DeRozan Expected To Pick Up Player Option

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan is expected to pick up his player option for the 2020-2021 season. DeRozan is slated to make $27.7 million next season, so it's not surprising to see him picking up the option. However, it seems like the team is leaning towards a rebuild, so maybe the Spurs might consider […]

Kirk Cousins Aiming To Take Next Step

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins may not be drafted as a QB1 in upcoming drafts, but the Vikings are banking on him having an elite season. Cousins' numbers dipped last season, going from 30 touchdowns in 2018 to 26 last season, and a passing regression from 4,298 yards to 3,603. Cousins can go on stretches […]

Jimmy Graham Gaining Sleeper Value

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham may not be on the fantasy radar heading into drafts but could play a significant role Week 1 against the Lions. Graham has enjoyed a fantastic camp and is looking to prove that he still has something left in the tank. The veteran caught only 38 passes last season […]

Anthony Miller Has Plenty To Prove

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will have a lot on the line as he prepares to take the field in 2020. Last season was supposed to be his breakout campaign; and then racked up only four catches for 28 yards in four September games. Miller put together a strong five-game stretch during the season […]

Can Allen Robinson Be A WR1?

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (ankle) is back on the practice field and appears to be ready to roll against the Lions in Week 1.
