Corbin Burnes Strikes Out Ten In Masterful Outing

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (1-0) pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out 10 in Friday's 9-1 win over the Pirates. Burnes was excellent in just about all aspects Friday, as the three hits he allowed were all singles. None of his four baserunners got past first […]

Triston McKenzie Has Mixed Results In Second Start Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three in four innings Friday versus the Cardinals. He did not factor in the decision. McKenzie was not efficient, needing 84 pitches (50 strikes) to get through the outing. A strong performance from the Cleveland offense assured […]

Franmil Reyes Drives In Five Runs Friday

Cleveland Indians outfielder / designated hitter Franmil Reyes went 3-for-4 with five RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 14-2 win over the Cardinals. Reyes made an early impact with his three-run homer off Cardinals starter Daniel Ponce de Leon in the first inning. In the fifth, Reyes got aboard with a double and scored […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TEN) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Humphries moved from Tampa to Tennessee before last season, which resulted in a notable rise in ADP (from WR99 in 2018 to WR70 in 2019) but also in a huge drop-off in production (from 188.7 PPR points two seasons ago to a measly 86.5 last […]

Luka Doncic Doing Well

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Doncic's ankle is doing better. He'll be asked to carry the load on offense with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) done for the rest of the first-round series. Fantasy owners […]

Players to Avoid on Draft Day - 2020 Fantasy Football

Pierre Camus and Chris Mangano name their top players to avoid in 2020 fantasy football drafts. These players may not necessarily be busts but they are overvalued and risky selections at their current ADP.

Kristaps Porzingis Hopeful To Avoid Surgery

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the first-round series with the Los Angeles Clippers. At the moment, Porzingis is hopeful to avoid surgery on his torn meniscus in his right knee. He believes with rest and a few injections that he'll be able to heal it naturally. […]

Aaron Judge Likely To Miss Nearly One Month With Injury

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has landed back on the injured list due to a calf ailment and after having been out of the mix for 14 days the previous time, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has indicated that Judge will miss at least double the time this turn through the IL. Judge, who […]

Michael Carter-Williams Listed As Out For Saturday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as out for Saturday's Game 5 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. This isn't shocking news since Carter-Williams hasn't been able to play in quite some time. The Magic are likely going to be eliminated soon, so Carter-Williams is probably done for the postseason. Markelle Fultz and D.J. Augustin […]

Tommy La Stella Makes A’s Debut In Game 2 Of Saturday DH

Oakland Athletics first/second baseman Tommy La Stella will be among the starting nine for the second leg of the club’s doubleheader against the Astros and right-hander Zack Greinke on Saturday. The A’s acquired La Stella from the Angels late Friday night, but with every game taking on heightened importance in 2020, they have made it […]

C.J. McCollum Available For Game 5

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (back) is available for Saturday's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a vertebral fracture during the seeding games, but has been able to play through it. Damian Lillard (knee) is done for the postseason, so McCollum will see his value skyrocket. He'll be a must-have DFS […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Should Be Fine For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was able to play 23 minutes during their last contest, so Caldwell-Pope should be fine here. He finished with 12 points, so he's not exactly an ideal DFS option. Maybe he could be a […]

Rafael Devers Sees Key Metrics Take Dive In 2020

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has not gotten off to the same level of success in 2020 as he had during his breakout 2019 campaign. When parsing Statcast metrics, it’s easy to see why -- after mauling fastballs last season to the tune of a .306 BA and .544 SLG, those numbers have […]

Todd Gurley - A Definitive Outlook for 2020

On December 2nd 2018, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley II torched the Detroit Lions for 132 yards and two touchdowns in a Rams victory. Gurley was capping off one of the best two-year stretches by a running back in recent memory and was the face of one of the NFL's best offenses. He […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Listed As Probable

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) and center Anthony Davis (back) are listed as probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both players were listed with the same injuries ahead of Game 4 and played their normal workload. Fantasy owners should assume they will continue to play as normal despite minor […]

George Hill Probable For Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (finger) is listed as probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Orlando Magic. He has been able to play through the issue, so there's a good chance he'll be out there for this one. Hill hasn't been a great DFS target since he'll likely only see minutes in the low-20s. […]

Russell Westbrook Available For Game 5

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is available for Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. This marks the first time that Westbrook will be able to play during this series. He could be somewhat restricted since he has not played in a game in over two weeks. James Harden, Eric Gordon, and […]

Rajon Rondo Upgraded To Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's Game 5 versus the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear if he'll actually be out there, but he'd likely be restricted if he does play. Alex Caruso and the other guards would see a few less minutes if Rondo returns. DFS players […]

Steven Matz Remains Out Of Mets Rotation Plans

New York Mets left-handed pitcher Steven Matz will not start either game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Yankees with right-handers Rick Porcello and Seth Lugo getting the nod. Matz hasn’t appeared in a game since Aug. 15, with manager Luis Rojas no longer tabbing him as a starter after posting a 9.00 ERA to begin […]

Kyle Lowry Might Suit Up For Game 1

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. He was able to practice on Saturday, which is the first time he was able to do that in about a week. That is a positive sign that Lowry will be able to play on Sunday, […]

Robinson Cano Returns To Second Base For Game 1 Of DH

New York Mets second baseman/designated hitter Robinson Cano returns to the keystone for the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Yankees. Cano has not manned the position in nearly two weeks, with the Mets opting to keep his hot bat in the lineup via the designated hitter spot. Batting .388 with a 1.057 OPS […]

Patrick Beverley Doubtful For Game 6

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Game 6 versus the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. He hasn't played in most of this series, so we'll see if he's healthy enough to get out there. Reggie Jackson and Landry Shamet will continue to see a boost until Beverley returns. Neither of […]

Gary Harris Questionable For Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 6 against the Utah Jazz. He has not played during the bubble, but has been slowly working his way back. He'll likely be limited if he does get out there for Sunday's contest. Monte Morris and Torrey Craig would likely lose some […]

Zach Britton Nearing Return

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton (hamstring) threw a 21-pitch bullpen session on Friday and may return to the team after one more bullpen session if all goes well, according to manager Aaron Boone. Britton had posted an impressive 2.00 ERA with eight saves before landing on the injured list with a hamstring strain […]

Miguel Andujar Heading Back To Alternate Site

New York Yankees third baseman and outfielder Miguel Andujar was optioned to the team’s alternate site on Saturday. Andujar has been shuttled between the team’s alternate site and the MLB lineup frequently this season, but Saturday’s move was relatively surprising with Aaron Judge (calf), Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), and Gleyber Torres (hamstring, quad) all sidelined. Notably, […]

Aledmys Diaz Gets Activated From IL For Saturday

Houston Astros infielder/designated hitter Aledmys Diaz has been activated from the injured list prior to Saturday’s doubleheader against Oakland right-handers Frankie Montas and Chris Bassitt. Diaz has been out of the mix for virtually all of 2020 due to a strained right groin, which has limited him to one game and just two at-bats this […]
