Phil Mickelson Still A Risky DFS Proposition

Phil Mickelson finally showed some signs of life at the beginning of February by logging a T3 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but his performance in that event is a bit misleading when taking into consideration that he lost strokes on approach. It was the same story for the veteran at Riviera, when he […]

Brandon Kintzler Spins a Perfect Inning on Tuesday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Brandon Kintzler tossed a perfect 1-2-3 inning in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes pitched two innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros. He struck out four while allowing a run on three hits and a walk.

Yannick Ngakoue Could Be Tagged And Traded

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to place the franchise tag on defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, and the team could then look to trade him after that, especially after he said he's no longer interested in signing a long-term deal with them. Placing the franchise tag on defenders and then trading them was more of a […]

Dellin Betances Not Throwing With Velocity He Wants

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder, Achilles) said on Tuesday that he is not yet throwing with the velocity he wants. Betances appeared in only one game last season for the Yankees due to a shoulder injury and subsequent Achilles tear. Given the fact that Betances is coming off of a shoulder injury […]

Slumping Rickie Fowler Heads To Bay Hill

Rickie Fowler has long been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour, but the fan favorite heads to this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational with his game out of sorts.

Chargers, Travis Benjamin Parting Ways

The Los Angeles Chargers and wide receiver Travis Benjamin have mutually agreed to part ways after the team met with Benjamin's agent, Ron Butler, at the scouting combine, according to a source. The 30-year-old has been with the Bolts since the 2016 season. His best season with the Chargers came in 2016 when he had […]

Luis Urias Will Take Batting Practice Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias (wrist) continues to progress from hamate surgery. Manager Craig Counsell said he should play in games at some point, but his status for Opening Day is still up in the air. Urias was set to compete for the starting shortstop position for the Brewers in 2020. The recent injury has […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Be More Involved In Passing Game

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said he expects running back Josh Jacobs to be more heavily involved in the passing game in "Phase 2" of his development in his sophomore season. Jacobs led all rookie running backs with 1,150 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, but he had only 20 receptions on the season, […]

Adrian Houser's Removal For Precautionary Measures

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (thumb) said his exit during Monday's B game against the White Sox was "just a precautionary move." Houser left the field with a trainer accompanying him, which set some alarm within the organization. It appears as if the Brewers were just playing it safe, and he seems to have […]

Bengals To Use Franchise Tag On A.J. Green

The Cincinnati Bengals plan to use the franchise tag on wide receiver A.J. Green, according to sources. The tag for receivers is estimated to be worth around $18.5 million, and the two sides will have until July 15 to reach a long-term extension. Green's 8,907 receiving yards rank fourth in the NFL since he entered […]

Brett Anderson Scratched With Illness

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brett Anderson was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Padres due to flu-like symptoms. Shelby Miller was plugged in to take his spot.

Rams Will Continue To Manage Todd Gurley's Workload

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead thought that running back Todd Gurley's load management last season worked well. The expectation is that Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson will spell Gurley more often early in the 2020 season, with Gurley's workload increasing as the season goes along. Improving the offensive line will also go a […]

Giants Don't Think Evan Engram Can Stay Healthy

The New York Giants don't think that tight end Evan Engram can ever stay healthy, according to an inside source. As a result, the source thinks that Engram is a trade candidate during the season. That's a problem, considering Rhett Ellison (concussion) is considering retirement. Kaden Smith is behind him on the tight end depth […]

Eagles Love Dallas Goedert

The Philadelphia Eagles love tight end Dallas Goedert, and the sky will continue to be the limit for him despite the presence of Zach Ertz. ESPN.com's Matthew Berry expects the Eagles to continue to find more ways to keep Goedert involved in the passing game in 2020. Given the lack of quality depth at tight […]

Miles Sanders Could Be Part Of Committee In 2020

The Philadelphia Eagles still want to use a running-back-by-committee in 2020, including running back Miles Sanders. One of the Eagles coaches said that the team really missed Jordan Howard down the stretch of last season when he was injured. Sanders, a rookie in 2019, finished with 179 carries for 818 yards (4.6 yards per carry) […]

Jordan Akins Could Have Big Role In 2020

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins was mentioned as a tight end to keep an eye on at the scouting combine last week. Darren Fells is expected to move on in free agency, but the Texans feel that they can get the same kind of production from Akins, if not more. In his second season […]

Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson, Bryce Love Will Have Roles

Washington Redskins running backs Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson and Bryce Love, who was injured all of last year, are all expected to have roles in what is expected to be a running-back-by-committee approach to begin the season. Head coach Ron Rivera has always been the kind of coach to use multiple running backs, and he […]

Matt LaFleur Likes Allen Lazard

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur talked wide receiver Allen Lazard up at the scouting combine last week. A source that ESPN.com's Matthew Berry trusts also said that Lazard spent Thanksgiving last year with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the two have become very close. Green Bay will surely go out and add some pass-catchers […]

Chris Sale Suffers Elbow Soreness, Sent For MRI

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) experienced elbow soreness a day after throwing his scheduled bullpen session. Sale has been sent for an MRI but the team is still waiting on the results from Dr. Andrews, while interim manager Ron Roenicke acknowledged that it is a concern with the left-hander. Sale will be […]

Aaron Jones May Have More Competition For Touches

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he needed both running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, but that ideally the team would add a third body to the backfield. Jones had a breakout season and was the bell-cow back once Williams was injured in 2019. He finished third in fantasy points behind Christian […]

Marc Leishman A Former Champion At Bay Hill

Much has been made about Leishman's hot putting week at […]

Austin Ekeler Could See 20 Touches A Game

Los Angeles Chargers impending restricted free-agent running back Austin Ekeler should be a fantasy star in 2020 if Melvin Gordon departs in free agency. The Chargers see Ekeler as a 17-20 touch-per-game player, and not just as a runner, as they love him out of the backfield and lined up in the slot as a […]
