Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura went 4-for-5 with a home run, five RBI, and two runs scored in a wild win over the Mets Monday. Segura started early with a three-run double to open the scoring in the first inning. He'd leave his mark at the end of the game as well launching a […]

Rhys Hoskins Continues Home Run Binge

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in a win vs the Mets on Monday. Hoskins has been scalding-hot at the plate lately as he has eight homers in his past 13 games. In that span, he's batting .327 with an absurd .820 slugging percentage and 13 RBI. Hoskins got […]

Jared Goff Should Be A Solid QB2 In 2020

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw for 4,638 yards, 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 2019.

JC Tretter Back Practicing

Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter (knee) returned to practice on Monday. Tretter missed most of training camp after having what was termed a cleanup procedure on his knee.

Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates

The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us. One thing fantasy managers should be routinely doing is mock drafting to learn where the players they are targeting might go in their drafts. You can never mock draft too much. Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the […]

Nikola Jokic Questionable For Game 3

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 3 matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Jokic played fantastic during Game 2, but sprained his wrist in the process. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline him, but fantasy owners should check back just in case. Mason Plumlee […]

Dion Waiters Exits Early On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) only played for three minutes during Sunday's Game 2 matchup due to injury. He pulled his left groin and was unable to return to the contest.

Does Houston Have a David Johnson Problem?

David Johnson might be one of the most head-scratching backs for the 2020 season. I mean, what happened to him? According to FantasyPros, the back had the first overall average draft position (ADP) in 2017. His ADP has currently plummeted to 44th as the 21st RB off the board for 2020. Ironically, this is one spot […]

Jae Crowder Uncertain For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jae Crowder (general soreness) is uncertain for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was non-committal on Crowder's status for next game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Should Play In Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He was only able to play 11 minutes during Sunday's contest before exiting with a sprained right ankle. Antetokounmpo was wearing a protective boot after Sunday's contest, so it doesn't sound like he'll be 100 percent […]
