Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (head) is absent from the clubs doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday.

No New COVID-19 Cases For Phillies

Matt Adams Smacks Three-Run Shot In Monday's Loss

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Matt Adams was 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's 14-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Struggling Out Of The Gate

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was 1-for-4 with three strikeouts during Monday's 14-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Acuna will almost assuredly put it together in […]

The 26-year-old is now batting .400 through 15 at-bats in 2020 to go along with two HRs, four runs scored, and seven RBI. Swanson's production may be a simple early-season hot streak, and his […]

WR/TE Stat Analysis: Catch Rate and Drawn Pass Interference

When it comes to drafting stud wide receivers and tight ends, we all pursue the same stats: receptions, yards, and touchdowns. It makes sense. Those three stats are the ones that ultimately yield actual, tangible fantasy points in every fantasy league, no matter the format. The savviest fantasy GMs often focus on targets, as without […]

Green Bay Packers 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Green Bay Packers had a terrific 2019 season under rookie head coach Matt LeFleur. The team posted a 13-3 record (best since 2011) and reached the playoffs for the first time since 2016 (an oddity during Aaron Rodgers’ tenure, but that’s considering his collarbone injury in 2017). Nevertheless, two of the four losses Green […]
