Jordan Akins Could Have Big Role In 2020

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins was mentioned as a tight end to keep an eye on at the scouting combine last week. Darren Fells is expected to move on in free agency, but the Texans feel that they can get the same kind of production from Akins, if not more. In his second season […]

Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson, Bryce Love Will Have Roles

Washington Redskins running backs Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson and Bryce Love, who was injured all of last year, are all expected to have roles in what is expected to be a running-back-by-committee approach to begin the season. Head coach Ron Rivera has always been the kind of coach to use multiple running backs, and he […]

Matt LaFleur Likes Allen Lazard

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur talked wide receiver Allen Lazard up at the scouting combine last week. A source that ESPN.com's Matthew Berry trusts also said that Lazard spent Thanksgiving last year with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the two have become very close. Green Bay will surely go out and add some pass-catchers […]

Sale will be […]

Aaron Jones May Have More Competition For Touches

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he needed both running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, but that ideally the team would add a third body to the backfield. Jones had a breakout season and was the bell-cow back once Williams was injured in 2019. He finished third in fantasy points behind Christian […]

Marc Leishman A Former Champion At Bay Hill

Marc Leishman is off to a fantastic start this year.

Much has been made about Leishman's hot putting week at […]

Austin Ekeler Could See 20 Touches A Game

Los Angeles Chargers impending restricted free-agent running back Austin Ekeler should be a fantasy star in 2020 if Melvin Gordon departs in free agency. The Chargers see Ekeler as a 17-20 touch-per-game player, and not just as a runner, as they love him out of the backfield and lined up in the slot as a […]

Edwin Encarnacion Returns To Lineup On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (back) will return to action on Tuesday. Encarnacion was removed prior to last Thursday’s contest with back stiffness. Manager Rick Renteria said that his removal from the lineup was precautionary and it’s a good sign to see the 37 year-old back in the lineup. Encarnacion will help owners […]

Redskins Unlikely To Trade Out Of No. 2 Pick

The Washington Redskins are unlikely to trade out of the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming draft. ESPN's Todd McShay gave it a 10-15 percent chance that the Redskins trade back in the draft. Washington is widely expected to stay put at No. 2 and select Ohio State defensive end Chase Young with that […]

Redskins Believe In Dwayne Haskins

The Washington Redskins believe quarterback Dwayne Haskins needs to work on getting the ball out quicker, but that he can make all the necessary throws. They like his pocket presence and have expressed a lot of confidence in his potential. Haskins has been working hard in the offseason and taking it very seriously. ESPN.com's Matthew […]

Lions Won't Draft Tua Tagovailoa

The Detroit Lions will not select Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in this year's draft, according to a source that ESPN.com's Matthew Berry highly trusts. Berry said there is "no chance" that happens. The Lions have the No. 3 pick behind the Bengals at No. 1 and Redskins at No. 2. Cincinnati is expected to take […]

Panthers May Still Move On From Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers have stated that they are behind quarterback Cam Newton, but ESPN.com's Matthew Berry isn't so sure. According to insiders, the Panthers don't want to just give Newton away, but they would deal him if a reasonable offer was made. It's less of a sure thing that Newton is the team's starting quarterback […]

Broncos Looking At Free-Agent Running Backs

The Denver Broncos are doing their due diligence on this year's free-agent crop of running backs, according to sources. Adding another running back wouldn't necessarily mean a lesser role for running back Phillip Lindsay, but it would definitely be bad news for Royce Freeman, who saw his role shrink towards the end of last year. […]

Steven Matz Sent Home Early Tuesday Due To Illness

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz was sent home early Tuesday due to an illness. He will miss a bullpen session today but expects to stay on schedule for a Grapefruit League start on Friday.

Brendan McKay To Make Spring Debut Friday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher/designated hitter Brendan McKay (shoulder) is scheduled to make his spring training debut on Friday against the Twins.

Brad Miller Day-to-Day With a Back Issue

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/utility player Brad Miller is dealing with lower back stiffness and is considered day-to-day. The team does not expect the injury to impact Miller's availability for Opening Day nor for it to be an issue he has to deal with in the regular season. It seems they are being cautious with Miller […]

Kwang-Hyun Kim Scheduled to Pitch on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim (groin) recovered well from his bullpen side session and is scheduled to pitch in one of Thursday's split-squad games.

ADP Reflections - National League Starting Pitchers

The draft season is in full swing. The Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational (TGFBI) has commenced on the NFBC site, and more and more draft data is filtering through to the masses. We’re now at the point where draft data is shaping draft strategies as people look for value against ADP. There are lots of great […]

Dexter Fowler Scuffling Through Spring

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler has not had a good spring so far. Fowler, who was awful in 2018 before rebounding with an at-least-average 2019, is 1-for-15 so far in Grapefruit League games. Even with the slight bounce back, his 2019 line of .238/.346/.409 wasn't great, and it may be time for the Cardinals […]

Kwang-Hyun Kim Dealing With Groin Soreness

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim was scratched from his scheduled Grapefruit League start on Monday due to mild groin soreness. He threw a bullpen session instead and is now on track to start one of Thursday's split-squad games. There doesn't seem to be a ton of concern, but the team wanted to be extra […]

2019 Busts Who Will Keep Junking It Up - Starting Pitchers

The term “bust” in fantasy baseball can have a few different definitions. The obvious meaning is a player whose lack of production stinks so bad we have to cut bait on him early in the season. The more common definition is a player who doesn’t live up to his draft-day value. Whether it’s a decline […]

Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton Likely Out For Opening Day

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman announced that outfielders Aaron Judge (shoulder) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) are not expected to be ready for Opening Day. Both players had been expected to be healthy for the start of the season when they first got hurt, but neither player has progressed as hoped. With their timelines still unclear, fantasy owners […]

NFL Scouting Combine - Fantasy Risers and Fallers

Now that all the hands have been measured, 40 yards have been dashed, and benches have been pressed, it's time to look back at the results in order to declare winners and losers. Of course, it isn't possible to actually "win" the NFL Combine but it is possible for players to see their draft stock […]

Andrew Miller Having Trouble in the Spring

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Andrew Miller is reportedly "having trouble getting a feel for the ball" but insists that nothing "physically hurts." He will undergo a battery of tests, especially to check if there is a nerve explanation. Miller has pitched just one Grapefruit League inning so far and has dealt with several injuries […]

Maverick McNealy Looks To Stay Hot At Arnold Palmer

Maverick McNealy is a former college star that is making some noise on the PGA Tour this season.

He's ran off 11 straight […]

Brian Dozier Collects Two Hits Monday

J.D. Davis Ahead Of Schedule

New York Mets infielder/outfielder J.D. Davis (shoulder) is ahead of schedule in his return from a jammed left shoulder. Davis has already been participating in baseball activities, including hitting in the batting cage. Barring a setback, it does not appear this injury will delay Davis for Opening Day. The Mets seem intent on getting Davis […]
