James White Sees Value Dip Amid Quarterback Battle

New England Patriots running back James White had been a favored target of Tom Brady over the past six seasons, but with Cam Newton now the leader to be the team’s signal caller Week 1, White’s fantasy outlook remains much more up in the air. Sony Michel will be the likely lead rusher for the […]

Sonny Gray Rocked By St. Louis Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray was ripped by the St. Louis Cardinals in his Tuesday start. Gray failed to make it out of the first inning, registering just two outs and allowing six runs to score. Gray struck out one and walked three in the outing, the shortest of the season for the veteran hurler. […]

Tim Locastro Leading Off On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro is starting in left field and batting leadoff against the Dodgers on Tuesday. Locastro bounced all over the lineup, but he’s now played in 11 of Arizona’s last 13 games, posting an uncharacteristically high .855 OPS over that time. Locastro is fast -- his sprint speed this season ranks in […]

Gavin Lux Starting On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux is starting on Tuesday for the fourth time since being called up last week. Lux is batting ninth for the third time this season (the other start came with Lux batting eighth), and although batting late in the order hurts his RBI chances and plate appearances, hitting in […]

Josh Allen Represents High Upside QB1 Selection

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters the 2020 campaign as a borderline QB1 in most season-long drafts. Despite just a 58.8% completion percentage last year, Allen’s use of his legs to add 510 yards and nine touchdowns pops him up draft boards. Allen made the Bills’ offense go last year without many household names at […]

Thiago Moises Opening Up Saturday's Main Card

Since earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series, Thiago Moises (13-4) has flip flopped wins and losses in the UFC and currently sits at 2-2 in the organization. He is most recently coming off of a second-round victory over veteran Michael Johnson earlier this year in May. Nine of the Brazilian's 13 career wins […]

Edwin Rios Starting On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Edwin Rios is starting at third base in place of the injured Justin Turner (hamstring) on Tuesday.

Ian Thomas Sustains Toe Injury, Return Murky

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is hampered by a toe injury that he sustained during practice Monday, one that came back negative after X-rays. Head coach Matt Rhule didn’t sound overly concerned about the ailment, but with Week 1’s matchup against Las Vegas less than two weeks away, Thomas’ DFS upside remains unclear. With […]

Right-handed pitcher Walker Lockett was claimed off of waivers by the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday after having been designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday. Lockett has made two appearances (one start) this season, yielding five runs in eight IP with eight strikeouts to his credit. Having been utilized as a swingman for much […]

Ryan McMahon Presents A Home-Only Asset

Colorado Rockies first/second baseman Ryan McMahon has the backing of Coors Field for half of his games, yet he has been unable to become a consistent season-long asset in 2020. His home/road splits this year have been drastic, slashing .271/.386/.576 at his friendly confines, while slashing .140/.228/.240 away from the hitter’s haven. Coors has been […]

New England Patriots Defense (D/ST, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 22.3 (5th D/ST) ANALYSIS: The Patriots had a dominant defense in the first half of 2019 (partly due to them playing very weak opponents), but the unit still finished as the top-ranked fantasy defense at the end of the season. It’s best to temper expectations heading into this season though, as the Pats […]

Kendall Graveman Rejoins Active Roster, Heads To Relief

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Kendall Graveman was activated off of the injured list Tuesday even as the team’s contest against Oakland was postponed due to COVID-19 complications. Graveman last appeared Aug. 2 and has been absent due to neck injuries that have prevented him from going deep into contests. With that in mind, Seattle will […]

Daniel Vogelbach, Brandon Drury DFA’d Tuesday

The Toronto Blue Jays’ flurry of moves at the Trade Deadline on Monday forced the club to make some significant roster decisions Tuesday, designating first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach and infielder Brandon Drury for assignment.

Justin Turner Lands On IL Due To Hamstring Ailment

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday’s contest against the D-backs due to a lingering hamstring injury. Turner hasn’t been in the lineup since Friday, with Edwin Rios holding down the hot corner against left-hander Alex Young on Tuesday. A strong on-base asset again in […]

Cody Bellinger Not In Tuesday’s Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger is not among the starting nine for Tuesday’s contest against Arizona and left-hander Alex Young. Chris Taylor will man center field in Bellinger’s absence, which comes after a day off, giving the left-handed slugger a two-day breather. After a slow start to 2020, Bellinger has homered in back-to-back […]

Elieser Hernandez Removed From Tuesday's Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez was removed from his start on Tuesday, apparently with an injury. While there has been no word on the extent of the injury, reporters and Marlins President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill, who happened to be on the TV broadcast at the time, mentioned that Hernandez had been dealing […]

Nick Anderson Plans To Throw Sim Game Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Nick Anderson will throw a simulated game of around 20 pitches Wednesday as he makes his way back from inflammation in his right forearm. His progression finally represents good news on the injury front for the Rays, who have seen their relief corps decimated by maladies this season, which means […]

Kyle Cody Makes First Start Friday, Faces Innings Cap

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Kyle Cody will enter the starting rotation for Friday’s contest against the Mariners, which will mark the first start of his big league career. Cody has not allowed a run in 4 ⅓ innings with six strikeouts across his first three appearances, but he has not thrown more than 39 pitches, […]

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz landed on the injured list prior to Tuesday’s game against the Yankees due to a hamstring strain that he sustained Monday.

Miles Sanders Expected To Be Ready For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is expected to be ready to go when the team opens its season against Washington. Sanders has been dealing with a strain in his hamstring but was recently spotted doing shadow drills, which is a positive sign for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old finished the 2019 campaign with 818 […]

Charlie Morton Likely Faces 40-50-Pitch Limit Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton will return to the rotation Wednesday against the Yankees, but the likely 40-50-pitch count that he’ll have will likely keep him from being much of a fantasy option. Morton last appeared Aug. 9 against New York before being shut down with inflammation in his right shoulder. With at […]

Alex Wood Heads To Bullpen Upon Activation Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Alex Wood will rejoin the club ahead of Tuesday’s contest against Arizona, but he’ll be headed to the bullpen for the time being. Wood had been on the IL since July 28 due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder, which likely would prohibit him from going deep into games at […]

Byron Buxton Rejoins Lineup Tuesday, Activated From IL

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was activated from the injured list prior to Tuesday’s contest against the White Sox and left-hander Dallas Keuchel, reentering the lineup at the No. 7 spot in the order.
