Jimmy Garoppolo An Adequate Option In Two-QB Leagues

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 3,978 yards, 27 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last year, his first full NFL season as a starter. He's currently being drafted as about the 23rd quarterback off the board in fantasy leagues, which makes him an intriguing value. His upside is limited due to the fact that […]

Baltimore Claims Carson Fulmer Off Waivers

Right-handed pitcher Carson Fulmer will join his fourth organization in the past three months after having been claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Saturday.

Tevin Coleman To Serve As No. 2 Behind Raheem Mostert

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman was the top running back on the team to own going into last year. However, he had some injuries in 2019 and wasn't as effective on the field as his teammate, Raheem Mostert. This year, Mostert will be the team's lead back to enter the season, but don't […]

Matt Harvey Gets Another Start, Will Pitch Sunday

Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Matt Harvey will rejoin the club’s rotation for Sunday’s contest against the White Sox. Harvey worked out of relief Thursday, but threw just 12 pitches, which shouldn’t hamper his workload, although he is likely to be used merely as an opener. Despite his return to the starting staff, fantasy managers […]

Raheem Mostert Figures To Be Lead Back To Start The Year

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert broke out in a big way for the team during the second half of last season. He scored rushing touchdowns in each of the team's last six games and went on to have a monster playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, rushing for 220 yards and four […]

Diontae Johnson (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP:~104 ANALYSIS: Last season, his first as a pro, Diontae Johnson put on a show playing for a virtual quarterback-less Pittsburgh Steelers.

49ers Hopeful To Have Brandon Aiyuk Back Next Week

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) has missed the past few weeks of practice after suffering a mild hamstring strain.

Amed Rosario Not Viewed As Everyday SS Moving Forward

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas was not ready to commit to Amed Rosario as his everyday shortstop going forward after Andres Gimenez started again Saturday versus Philadelphia and right-hander Spencer Howard.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~78 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~94 ANALYSIS: Dobbins is being drafted at RB35 and is currently the fifth-highest drafted rookie at the position (Cam Akers is the fourth with an ADP of RB25 and 60 OVR).

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Alexander Colome is not on track to be used out of relief Saturday against Kansas City.

Having […]

Anthony Santander Heads Toward IL Stint, 2020 Return In Doubt

Dolphins See Lynn Bowden Jr. As Wide Receiver Option

This makes more sense. The Miami Dolphins traded for rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. on Saturday, seemingly complicating a backfield that already had Jordan Howard and Matt Breida. But reports indicate that the team believes Bowden can play wide receiver for them, a position he's played during his college career. Miami is shallow at […]

Saquon Barkley In-Play As Possible First Overall Pick

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley finished as the overall RB2 as a rookie and was a top-10 back last season, despite missing three games. As a result, the Penn State product is one of the most sought-after players in fantasy and should be drafted within the top-two picks of any fantasy draft. Barkley […]

Cavan Biggio Out Of Saturday’s Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/outfielder Cavan Biggio is not in the starting nine for Saturday’s contest against Boston and left-hander Mike Kickham.

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Jace Fry was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday’s contest against Kansas City due to back spasms.
