Jesse Winker Serves One-Game Suspension Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker will miss Tuesday’s contest against the Cardinals while serving a one-game suspension. With St. Louis sending southpaw Kwang Hyun Kim to the mound, Matt Davidson will slot in at DH while Aristides Aquino mans left field.

Updated Tight End PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

For the first time in what feels like an eternity, there are more than five tight ends to get excited about heading into a fantasy football season! Breakout seasons from Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, and more propelled the position to new heights in 2019. Fantasy players will no longer be overcome with a sense of […]

Gleyber Torres Nearing Return

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (hamstring, quad) is expected to get some rehab games in at the team’s alternate site over the next few days, making his return to the MLB lineup likely to come sometime towards the end of next week. Torres had been heating up after a slow start to the season […]

Zach Britton Activated From Injured List On Tuesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton (hamstring) was activated by the team on Tuesday. Britton threw his most recent bullpen session on Sunday, and his activation on Tuesday was in line with the team’s expectations. Fantasy players should expect Britton to pitch primarily as a setup man for closer Aroldis Chapman and continue pitching […]

Yoan Moncada Absent Again On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (leg) remains sidelined on Tuesday. Moncada left Saturday’s contest against the Royals and hasn’t returned since. Yolmer Sanchez will replace Moncada on Tuesday and bat eighth versus the Twins. Sanchez can be avoided in all formats as Moncada remains day-to-day.

Leonard Fournette Not Claimed On Waivers

Former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette cleared waivers on Tuesday, making him a free agent. While no team seemed to want Fournette at his original price tag, he should wind up somewhere before the 2020 season opens. Wherever he signs, he won't have nearly the same role that he would have had in Jacksonville, […]

Tyrell Williams Placed On Injured Reserve

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (torn labrum) has been placed on the injured reserve, ending his 2020 season before it began. Williams was a popular sleeper pick in 2019 but faded as the sent went along, but he was still poised to have a solid role this year. Now, expect rookie Bryan Edwards […]

Updated Running Back PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Hitting on the right RB can win you a league. Christian McCaffrey was a monster in 2019, rewarding fantasy players who took him over Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliot, and in some instances even Saquon Barkley. Sorting out this year’s RB landscape could be the difference between winning it all and missing the playoffs. This year, […]

Jonathan Isaac To Miss Entire 2020-2021 Season

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2020-2021 season, according to Magic President Jeff Weltman. In early August, Isaac underwent surgery on his left knee to repair a torn ACL and a meniscus tear. The team has not revealed an official timetable, but it doesn't sound like Isaac will take […]

Joe Mixon, Bengals Agree Upon Four-Year Extension

The Cincinnati Bengals and running back Joe Mixon are reportedly finalizing a four-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2024 season. Mixon had been angling for a new contract throughout the offseason and even threatened to hold out if he didn't get a new deal with the team. Now he […]

Kemba Walker Should Be Fine For Game 2

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) suffered a minor tweak during Game 1, but is expected to be fine going forward. "It happens. I’m doing everything I can to stay on top of it. I felt really good today, actually," said Walker. Head coach Brad Stevens mentioned that Walker looked fine during Monday's practice. It […]

Damian Lillard Injury Not Considered Serious

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) was unable to finish out the first round series versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a right knee sprain, but the Blazers medical staff does not believe it will be a long-term issue. The Blazers are now eliminated, so Lillard will get plenty of time to rest […]

Robert Williams Expected To Remain In The Rotation

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams didn't play much during the first round series, but could see more action going forward, according to head coach Brad Stevens. He looked great during Game 1 against the Toronto Raptors. Williams finished with 10 points, five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 19 minutes of play. […]

Marlins Calling Up Jazz Chisholm

The Miami Marlins have called up shortstop Jazz Chisholm, and he will be active for tonight's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Chisholm is one of the top prospects in the Marlins system and will presumably see playing time immediately. He's exclusively played shortstop in the minors, but the Marlins have an opening at second […]

Gordon Hayward Might Miss Four-Week Timetable

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) might miss more time than his expected four week timetable, according to head coach Brad Stevens. "We don't anticipate him being available any time before the four weeks, and I think four weeks might even be aggressive," said Stevens. It's highly unlikely he plays during the second-round series and […]

Eric Bledsoe Limited During Tuesday's Practice

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (hamstring) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice. He was unable to play during Game 1 versus the Miami Heat on Monday due to a right hamstring strain. George Hill drew the start, but didn't do much damage during his 36 minutes of play. The fact Bledsoe was limited on […]

Patrick Reed Looking To Bounce Back

Patrick Reed entered last week's BMW Championship at sixth in the FedEx Cup standings. After a T40 finish, Reed enters this week's Tour Championship in a tie for 11th, seven strokes back of the lead. Reed has eight top-10's this season, which is tied for the fourth-most top-10's on tour this season. He finished T9 […]

Hideki Matsuyama Gaining Momentum

Hideki Matsuyama played great at last week's BMW Championship, shooting two-under en route to a T3 finish. His T3 finish vaulted him into a T6 starting spot in this week's Tour Championship. After last week's performance, Matsuyama's DFS value went up significantly with a value of $9,300 this week. There are still concerns about his […]

Abraham Ancer To Make Second Straight Tour Championship Appearance

After a T33 finish last week at the BMW Championship, Abraham Ancer will make his second straight Tour Championship appearance. Ancer enters the week nine strokes back of the lead with a DFS price of $6,100. It is a good price, but Ancer's ceiling likely is not too high. He has only one finish inside […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Hot Hitters and Hurlers

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

Evaluating MLB Rookie Performances - Week 7

While we’ve had some big time pitching prospects make waves throughout the 2020 season, it was this past week where we saw many of the most promising pitching performances from prospects so far this year. The 2020 fantasy season doesn’t have too much longer to go as the regular MLB season concludes in about a […]

Marc Leishman Continues To Struggle

Marc Leishman had another poor performance at last week's BMW Championship, finishing dead last for the week. Leishman has struggled for the entire restart, and there aren't any reasons to suggest that will change at this week's Tour Championship. He has the lowest DFS price at $5,000, and rightfully so. He is last in the […]
