Branden Grace Seeking Relevance In 2020-2021

Branden Grace had a tough finish to his 2019-2020 season with five missed cuts and one withdrawal in his last six starts. He ranked in the top 20 in strokes gained approaching the green, but did not rank within the top 50 in any other key metric. He comes into the week with a DFS […]

Joel Dahmen Looks To Ride Momentum Into 2020-2021 Season

Joel Dahmen failed to qualify for the 2020 Tour Championship but managed to have himself a solid 2020 campaign. He had five top-10’s in 22 starts and finished 38th in FedEx Cup points. Dahmen ranked inside the top 35 in strokes gained off the tee and strokes gained from tee to green. There is reason […]

Sergio Garcia Looking For A Strong Start To The Season

Sergio Garcia will look to begin the 2020-2021 season with a strong start at the Safeway Open. He failed to qualify for last season’s FedEx Cup playoffs and only had one top-10 in 12 starts. Garcia has a history of being inconsistent with the putter, so he will need to roll the ball more effectively […]

Bisi Johnson Earns The Start In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson is listed as the No. 2 receiver on the Vikings depth chart heading into Week 1. Johnson has won the job over first-round pick Justin Jefferson after consistently making splash plays during training camp. It appears the Vikings coaching staff wants to reward that hard work, but Johnson will […]

Shane Lowry Makes Safeway Open Debut

Shane Lowry capped off his 2019-2020 season by missing the cut at The Northern Trust and finishing 123rd in FedEx Cup points. He had a bumpy 2019-2020 campaign, with only one top-10 in 13 starts. The defending Open champion struggled on the greens, ranking 163rd in strokes gained in putting. He enters the week 28th […]

All other PGA Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Dustin Johnson put a massive feather in his cap at the Tour Championship, taking down his first-career FedExCup title to go along with the 15 million dollar grand prize. The victory didn't come without some struggles late, as the now 23-time PGA Tour […]

Justin Jefferson Listed Third On WR Depth Chart

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is listed as third on the wide receiver depth chart heading into the team's Week 1 matchup against the Packers. Jefferson was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft, but for now, he has been supplanted as a starter by teammate Bisi Johnson. Jefferson will carry plenty […]

Davante Adams Has Dynamite Matchup

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will have a fantastic matchup in Week 1 against the Vikings. Adams will face a Vikings Defense that underwent an overhaul in the offseason and allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers in 2019. The Vikings also allowed the seventh-most receptions to receivers, and Adams, in particular, […]

Danielle Hunter Not Practicing Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (undisclosed) isn't practicing on Wednesday. The Vikings remain optimistic about his timetable for a return, but it doesn't look like that will come in Week 1 against the Packers. Minnesota continues to be cautious with their star pass-rusher, who hasn't practiced since Aug. 14. If […]

Adam Thielen Will See Targets Against Green Bay

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should see plenty of targets Week 1 against the Packers. Thielen's 2019 was derailed by injuries but returns as the unquestioned number one receiver in the Vikings offense. He will go up against a Packers Defense that allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers last season. Fantasy […]

Hayden Hurst Has Breakout Potential In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst was a popular breakout choice this year and he could make good on those predictions as early as Week 1 against Seattle. The Seahawks Defense allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2019, though new safety Jamal Adams will surely help in that department. Still, Hurst's […]

Aaron Jones Hoping To Continue Success Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face a Vikings Defense in Week 1 that allowed the 16th-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs in 2019. Jones combined for 19 touchdowns last season and now gets a Week 1 matchup against a team he absolutely destroyed last season. In two games against the Vikings, Jones […]

Dalvin Cook Will Be Focal Point Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook may not have a long-term contract but will be ready to lead the charge on offense in Week 1. On paper, the matchup may seem daunting against a Packers run defense that allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to runners in 2019. But Cook absolutely shredded the Cheeseheads in […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS (Course History) - Safeway Open

Thanks for joining me here at RotoBaller PGA DFS family! My guy DJ just continued to show out at East Lake. Why can't he do this is in majors? I suppose that's the age-old question with Dustin Johnson... Although we've crowned a FedEx Cup champion, we've still got a lot of golf left as we […]

Clint Capela Cleared For 5-On-5 Workouts

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) has been cleared to begin doing 5-on-5 workouts. The Hawks are expected to begin group workouts in the end of September, so Capela should be taking part in that. He was traded to Atlanta mid-season, but has not played a game for them yet due to a plantar fasciitis […]

Hornets Attempting To Trade Nicolas Batum

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum is expected to pick up his $27 million player option for next season. It is far more than he'd get in free agency, so there's no reason for him not to accept the deal. It's the final year of his contract, so the Hornets are likely going to attempt to […]

Kirk Cousins Can't Be Trusted Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will have a difficult matchup Week 1 against the Packers. Cousins really struggled against Green Bay in 2019, passing for only 352 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions across two games against them last season. Green Bay was fantastic suppressing production from opposing passers last year, allowing the fourth fewest […]

Danuel House Could Miss Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (personal) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with a personal issue, so it's unclear if he'll suit up next game. Robert Covington (face), Jeff Green, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore would benefit if House is out. Covington is the […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Stiff Week 1 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have a tough first test Week 1 against the division-rival Vikings. Rodgers' offensive production tailed off last season, as he failed to pass for more than 240 yards in six of his last eight games. Now he will face a Vikings Defense that allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points […]

T.J. Hockenson Ready To Take Next Step

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will have an intriguing matchup Week 1 against the Bears that may give him some sleeper value in deeper leagues. Chicago last season tied for sixth most receptions allowed to opposing tight ends at a 72.3% completion clip. Hockenson burst on the scene in Week 1 of last year […]

Danielle Hunter's Week 1 Status In Doubt

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter's (undisclosed) status for the season opener in Week 1 is very much in doubt. If Hunter practices on Wednesday, he'll likely be limited. His chances of playing against the Packers this weekend could depend on whether he can get in a full practice by Friday. The 25-year-old pass-rusher is […]

Marvin Williams Retires From Basketball

Milwaukee Bucks forward Marvin Williams has decided to retire from the NBA. The 34-year-old is walking away from the game after 15 productive seasons in the league. "I've been very blessed. God has been very, very good to me," Williams said. He was unable to win a championship before retiring, but put up fairly solid […]

Robert Covington Should Play In Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington (face) is expected to be available for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It doesn't sound like his nose is broken and Covington was able to pass the concussion protocol. Danuel House (personal) is questionable for Game 4, which could mean big minutes for Covington. Fantasy owners should check […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Will Be WR3/4 Option Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will have a tough first test in Week 1 against a talented Bears Defense. Jones caught 62 passes for 779 yards with nine touchdowns in only 13 games last season and the Lions are hoping for a full season from veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Jones will go up […]

Kenny Golladay Is Matchup-Proof In Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will look to get his season off on the right foot against a tough Bears Defense in Week 1. Golladay posted a career-high 1,190 yards with 11 touchdowns even as the Lions had a revolving door at quarterback due to injuries. His Week 1 matchup on paper seems unappealing […]

Mike Evans Could Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, and he could be a game-time decision on Sunday in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints. Making things even more difficult for fantasy managers is the fact that the Bucs play an afternoon game in Week […]

Kyle Nelson With A Tough Test To Move To .500 In UFC

Kyle Nelson (13-3) is coming off of his first UFC win after dropping his first two UFC bouts. Nine of those 13 career wins have come by finish, including a knockout of Khama Worthy on the regional scene in 2017. Alarmingly, Nelson only lands 2.73 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 6.35 significant strikes per […]

Jimmy Graham Has Sleeper Value Against Lions

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will have a fantastic matchup Week 1 against the Lions. The former Pro Bowler was a huge disappointment in Green Bay the past two seasons and many national pundits think he is washed up. But Graham has drawn rave reviews during training camp for the Bears and head coach […]

Anthony Miller Has Favorable Week 1 Matchup

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will have a chance to get his season off to a strong start with a favorable matchup against the Lions Week 1. Miller was a disappointment last season, hauling in only four receptions through his first four games and did not produce until the final handful of games. Miller […]

Calvin Ridley A WR2 Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is in line for a good day against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. Ridley figures to matchup with 2019 Pro Bowler Shaquill Griffin, who was the Seahawks' most improved player according to Pro Football Focus. The good thing for Ridley is, Atlanta moved him into the slot occasionally […]
