Zach Johnson Will Be A Popular Choice

With two top-eight results in his previous three events, Zach Johnson enters Sanderson Farms as the eighth-highest priced player at DraftKings with a salary of $9,600. Johnson's 14th-place showing here last season could provide even more optimism for those looking to back the American, but it is important to note that he ranks outside the […]

Wesley Bryan A Low-Reward Option At Sanderson Farms

We do not have much data on Wesley Bryan, so it is difficult to say what value he carries this week at Sanderson Farms. He has played in just five tournaments since June, and his best finish was a tie for 21st place. There's nothing that really makes him stand out other than how low […]

Can Sebastian Munoz Repeat In Mississippi?

After putting together a dazzling display during last year's Sanderson Farms Championship, Sebastian Munoz will look to repeat this weekend in Jackson, Mississippi. Munoz has provided five straight made cuts since the Wyndham Championship, which includes three top-20 showings throughout the FedExCup playoffs. The 76th-ranked player in the world should be considered one of the […]

Dequan Townsend Fighting For More Than Just A Win Saturday

Dequan Townsend (21-11) will have the experience edge heading into Saturday's main-card opener. Townsend has finished 17 of his 21 victories but is still winless in the UFC. Townsend had to unfortunately bury both of his brothers in his hometown of Lansing, Michigan, last month after both were sadly murdered. He flew out to Denver […]

Sungjae Im Looks To Regain Form

It has been a slow restart for Sungjae Im, who has only cracked the top 10 twice in his last 13 events. While all of that could be viewed as a potential problematic situation for the 22-year-old, Im has shown flashes of brilliance over his previous two starts, gaining 10.2 shots with his irons at […]

Louis Oosthuizen Not Playing At Sanderson Farms

Despite being priced as the second favorite on DraftKings, Louis Oosthuizen (undisclosed) has withdrawn from the Sanderson Farms. The South African's early removal from the field on Monday should be viewed as nothing more than a personal decision, but it is worth keeping a close eye on his status heading into the Las Vegas portion […]

Rafa Cabrera Bello Looks To Build On Last Performance

Rafa Cabrera Bello will make his third start of the season at Sanderson Farms. He comes off a strong U.S. Open performance, finishing in a tie for 23rd. This was his first top-25 finish since all the way back in June at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Bello has the putter working early in the season, […]

Byeong Hun An Set To Make Second Start Of Season

Byeong Hun An will make his second start of the season at Sanderson Farms after missing the cut at the U.S. Open. An actually fared well in some metrics, ranking 24th in strokes gained approaching the green and ninth in strokes gained from tee to green. However, his putting was atrocious, ranking 262nd in strokes […]

Starling Marte Sustains Pinkie Fracture Wednesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte (pinkie) is dealing with a fractured pinkie finger on his left hand after being hit by a pitch during Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus the Cubs. Marte exited the game after being hit, and an X-ray revealed the damage, although there is optimism that Marte could attempt to […]

Wil Lutz A Solid Starting Option Against Lions

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid starting option this week against Detroit. Lutz has been reliable this season, going 6-for-6 in field-goal attempts and 10-for-10 in extra point attempts. Playing on an offense that can generally move the ball, Lutz is a fine starting option against a Lions team that is middle-tier […]

David Dahl Confirms He’ll Be Ready For Spring Training

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (shoulder) had his 2020 campaign prematurely ended due to surgery on his injured right shoulder. Dahl tweeted Wednesday that he came out of surgery unscathed and that he plans to return to the diamond in time for the opening of Spring Training next February. Not much went right this past […]

Saints Defense Should Remain On Bench This Week

The New Orleans Saints Defense is not a viable streaming option this week against the Lions. After a terrific Week 1, this unit has struggled the past two weeks against the Raiders and Packers even with star-studded names playing on this side of the ball for New Orleans. Ultimately, they allowed 34 points in Week […]

Jared Cook A Low-End TE1 If Active

If active, New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook would be a low-end TE1 against a Lions team that has been somewhat stingy at covering tight ends. Cook sustained a groin injury in the Week 3 loss to Green Bay and missed practice Wednesday, which doesn't sound too encouraging. If he ultimately cannot suit up, […]

Dallas Keuchel Roughed Up In Game 2

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel picked up the loss in Game 2 versus the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. Keuchel got burned by some bad defense, but still struggled outside of that. The lefty only lasted 3 1/3 innings and allowed six hits, five runs (three earned), zero walks and four strikeouts. The White […]

Chris Taylor Earns Start In Game 1, Joc Pederson On Bench

Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Chris Taylor will start Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Milwaukee and left-hander Brent Suter at second base. Taylor gets the nod over Enrique Hernandez and Gavin Lux, as Edwin Rios will serve as the designated hitter in place of Joc Pederson. Taylor produced an .842 OPS during the regular […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Flex Option In Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a flex option in Week 4 against a Detroit team allowing the 10th most points to fantasy receivers. Sanders has had a disappointing start with the Saints, only seeing 15 and 18 yards in the first two weeks before finally getting 56 yards and a score in […]

Michael Thomas A WR1 In Week 4 If Active

If active, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas would be a WR1 in this week's matchup with Detroit. Thomas has been nursing an ankle injury and has missed the past two games. He returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion and it's still uncertain as to whether he will play on Sunday. […]

Yasmani Grandal Goes Yard In Game 2 Loss

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal hit his second home run in as many games on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. It was his only hit in four at-bats on Wednesday. Grandal is now 2-for-7 with a pair of walks so far in the wild-card series. Grandal came into the playoffs in a slump, but […]

Edwin Rios Draws First Playoff Start In Game 1 Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Edwin Rios will serve as the designated hitter for Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Milwaukee and left-hander Brent Suter. Rios’ start will mark the first of his postseason career, and may also be an indication that manager Dave Roberts isn’t starting purely right-handed bats in response to Suter’s […]

Latavius Murray A Low-End Flex Against Lions

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is only a low-tier flex option for this week against Detroit. With Alvin Kamara handling RB1 duties on the team, Murray hasn't seen more than 58 rush yards and 19 receiving yards in any contest thus far. He's only worth considering if your team has been hit by […]

Keston Hiura Drops To Eighth In Order For Game 1 Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura will bat eighth for just the second time in his Major League career during Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus the Dodgers and right-hander Walker Buehler. Hiura was ice cold down the stretch of the regular season, last producing an extra-base hit back on Sept. 16. Hiura struck […]

Alvin Kamara An RB1 In Week 4

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 in this week's clash against the Lions. With Michael Thomas out the past couple of weeks, Kamara has been putting up herculean numbers as his receiving totals have been off the charts. He posted 139 receiving yards in Week 3 and 95 in Week […]

Christian Yelich Moves To Leadoff Spot For Game 1 Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has been slotted into the leadoff spot for Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus the Dodgers and right-hander Walker Buehler. Yelich has not batted leadoff since 2018, with manager Craig Counsell significantly shaking up the lineup. Yelich finished the regular season in a malaise, going 2-for-21 with eight strikeouts […]

Drew Brees A QB2 Against Lions

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a QB2 for this week's matchup against the Lions. The veteran hasn't been the most explosive fantasy option this season and there has also been speculation of his decline. While he's still putting up serviceable numbers, they haven't been consistent. He tossed three touchdowns in Week 3, but […]

Nelson Cruz Hopes To Return In 2021 After MVP-Like Campaign

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz was one of the Majors’ preeminent power threats for the entirety of the 2020 season. Finishing the year with the eighth-highest OPS in the bigs (.992), Cruz said following his club’s elimination from the postseason Wednesday that he hoped to be back next season. The veteran turns 41 next […]

Kyle Hendricks Suffers Game 1 Loss

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks picked up the loss in Game 1 of the Cubs wild-card series against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Hendricks got out of some trouble between the fourth and sixth innings, but manager David Ross elected to bring him out for the seventh inning. Hendricks allowed back-to-back singles and then […]

Jesus Aguilar Goes Yard In Wednesday's Playoff Win

Miami Marlins first baseman/designated hitter Jesus Aguilar hit a home run in Wednesday's wild-card playoff win. He ended up 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored, hitting the homer and a double as well. Aguilar had an outstanding bounce-back campaign for the Marlins and should be a key piece in the postseason lineup, likely […]

Brett Gardner Starts Over Clint Frazier Again Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner will remain in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Cleveland, leaving Clint Frazier on the bench. Gardner went 3-for-5 with a home run during Game 1, unlikely to lose his spot after such a performance. Despite manager Aaron Boone talking up Frazier as of […]

Gary Sanchez Returns To Lineup For Game 2 Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is back among the starting nine for Game 2 of Wednesday's wild-card series versus Cleveland and right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco. Sanchez will bat in the No. 9 spot for the first time in his Major League career amidst having hit .147 during 49 regular-season contests. With Kyle Higashioka having […]

Corey Dickerson Hits A Three-Run Shot On Wednesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson hit a huge three-run home run in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Chicago Cubs. Dickerson ended up 1-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and a run scored. Dickerson's blast came in the seventh inning to open the scoring for the Marlins, who would score five in the […]
