San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater is getting the start at designated hitter and leading off in Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Christian Vazquez Heading To The Bench On Thursday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez is getting the day off on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Kevin Plawecki is getting the start at catcher and batting fifth in the game.

Trea Turner Mired In Small Slump

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner was 2-for-4 during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The 27-year-old is batting .241 with no homers and four RBI over his last seven games. It is a sudden cold streak for Turner, but some regression had to be expected. He still owns a .344/.401/.594 slash line on […]

Nyheim Hines Looks To Build On Strong Week 1 Performance

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a good start to his 2020 season, finding the end zone twice and gaining 73 total yards.

Raiders Defense A Bad Option In Week 2

The Las Vegas Raiders defense had a bad Week 1 outing against the Carolina Panthers, allowing 30 points, forcing zero turnovers and sacking the quarterback just one time.

Darren Waller A TE1 In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller started his 2020 campaign by hauling in six catches for 46 yards on nine targets in a win against the Panthers.

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Week 2

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

By this time, you’ve made your waiver wire claims for week 2. Hopefully, you got your guy. But, if you’re still deciding on players to keep and get rid of for next week and moving forward, then you’ve come to the right place. The obvious cuts are players that are lost for the year due […]

Kendrick Bourne A Risky Deep League Starting Option In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was one of only two 49ers wide receivers to catch a pass in Week 1, the other being Trent Taylor. Both Bourne and Taylor earned five targets, but Taylor caught just two of them for seven yards, while Bourne caught two for 34 yards. This week, the 49ers […]

Henry Ruggs III Not A Good Option Against Saints

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III finished his rookie debut with three catches for 55 yards against the Panthers.

Brandon Aiyuk Could Be A Solid WR3 In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) appears to be on track to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the New York Jets.

Zack Wheeler Pitches Well In No-Decision Vs Mets

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler allowed three runs in 7 1/3 innings in a no-decision vs the Mets on Wednesday. It was a typical Wheeler start as he was good, not great, but wound up with an effective ERA and WHIP for fantasy managers as he allowed seven hits and no walks. He only […]
