Eloy Jimenez Expected To Miss Rest Of Regular Season

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) is not in the plans for this weekend’s series versus the Cubs due to the foot injury that he sustained Thursday. The fact that Jimenez is merely day-to-day and not requiring a stint on the injured list likely bodes well for his chances of suiting up during the […]

Alvin Kamara Should See Huge Workload Again

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a great matchup in Week 3 against the Packers. Green Bay is a perfect example of a funnel defense, as they rank 13th in pass DVOA but 30th in rush DVOA. Kamara comes into the contest averaging 19 touches, 120 scrimmage yards and two scores per game […]

Dion Lewis Ready To Assume Bigger Role

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis will need to assume a larger role in the offense as Saquon Barkley (knee) is out for the season. Barkley certainly leaves big shoes to fill, but Lewis will not be alone in trying to replace the Pro-Bowl running back as Devonte Freeman and Wayne Gallman should also […]

Josh James Hits Injured List Friday

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Josh James (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list prior to Friday’s contest versus Texas with the club recalling righty Chase De Jong to take James’ place on the active roster. James has oscillated between starting and relieving over the past few seasons, with his numbers this year torpedoing any fantasy […]

Gus Edwards A Dart Throw In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards shouldn't be counted on for fantasy production in Week 3 against Kansas City. While the 25-year-old racked up 10 carries against the Texans, one more than Mark Ingram II, the presence of Ingram, quarterback Lamar Jackson, and rookie J.K. Dobbins makes him a risky option on Monday night. For […]

Jorge Soler, Greg Holland Land On Injured List, Ending Year

Kansas City Royals outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) and right-handed pitcher Greg Holland (oblique) were both placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest against Detroit, ending their respective 2020 campaigns.

Daniel Jones Looking To Bounce Back Vs 49ers

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has gotten off to a rough start in 2020, but will look to right the ship in a home matchup against San Francisco. Jones has just two touchdowns and three interceptions through two games while also losing a fumble. Turnovers were Jones' primary issue as a rookie so it […]

Mark Ingram II A Risky Option In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II is a risky fantasy option in Week 3 against the Chiefs. The veteran was able to find the end zone in Week 2 against the Texans. However, he received one less carry than Gus Edwards, who ran for 73 yards on 10 attempts, and seven fewer than quarterback […]

Corbin Burnes Sustains Oblique Tear During Thursday’s Start

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Corbin Burnes (oblique) attempted to pitch through injury Thursday versus St. Louis, but it may have been his final appearance of the year. Burnes sustained a slight tear in his oblique, which will rule him out for the Wild Card series should Milwaukee advance, in addition to manager Craig Counsell not sounding […]

Drew Brees In The QB2 Range Against Packers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face off against the undefeated Packers in Week 3. Brees comes into the contest with just 472 passing yards, three touchdowns and a bunch of questions about his ability to play quarterback at the age of 41. For all the concerns surrounding Brees, his fantasy floor has remained […]

Aaron Civale Will Shift To Relief Role For Wild Card Series

Cleveland Indians right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale will be bounced from the club’s starting rotation for the Wild Card Series, which is set to begin Tuesday.

Jonathan Hernandez Seeks To Remain In Relief For 2021

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Jonathan Hernandez has excelled out of relief this season, a role that he has grown so comfortable in that he has informed the organization that he wants to stay in the bullpen for 2021. Having made 113 starts in the Minor Leagues (and two last season for the Rangers), Hernandez has […]

Detroit Tigers first/third baseman Jeimer Candelario (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest versus the Royals, ending his 2020 season.

Kris Bryant Cedes Way To Nico Hoerner At Third Friday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is not in the club’s starting lineup for Friday’s contest versus the White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. Nico Hoerner will instead man the hot corner with Bryant getting a day off amidst another cold spell at the dish. With just a .301 SLG on the year, Bryant has […]

Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, Christian Vazquez Sit Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and catcher Christian Vazquez are all out of the club’s starting lineup Friday against Atlanta and right-hander Kyle Wright. Devers has been in a recent rut, with just a .188 on-base percentage over his last seven contests, while Vazquez has come out of his malaise […]

Aroldis Chapman Now Throwing A Splitter

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has added a splitter to his arsenal, throwing the pitch for the first time in his career against the Blue Jays on Thursday. At 91.4 mph, Chapman’s splitter would be the fastest among pitchers who have thrown at least 250 pitches this season, and the pitch generated a swinging-strike […]

Freddie Freeman Absent From Friday’s Lineup

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is not among the starting nine for Friday’s contest versus Boston and right-hander Chris Mazza. Austin Riley will shift over from the hot corner to cover in his place, with Ozzie Albies shifting back up the batting order to the No. 2 slot. Freeman is in the thick of […]

Cincinnati Releases Nate Jones Friday

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Nate Jones was released by the organization Friday after having been designated for assignment Tuesday.

Justin Upton Finishing Up Strong

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will try and wrap up a strong month of September against the Dodgers in the team's final series of the season. It was a disastrous start to the season for the veteran slugger, going 11-for-80 (.137) in his first 23 games this season. But Upton has bounced back in […]

Mike Trout Hitting .194 Last 10 Games

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will wrap up his 2020 season beginning Friday against the Dodgers.

Albert Pujols Slugging .480 In September

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols will try and finish the season with a bang against the Dodgers on Friday. The numbers for the 40-year-old continue to decline, as he is posting a .689 OPS in 37 games as the future Hall of Famer is mostly a part-time player now. The 2020 season, however, […]

David Fletcher Finishing Season Strong

Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder David Fletcher is heading into the final games of the regular season on a hot streak.
