Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II will be donning a new uniform if/when the NFL season kicks off, though it's unknown how healthy he'll be when that time comes.

Eagles Hope Coaching Changes Can Ignite Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles will look to rejuvenate their offense by incorporating some principles from Rich Scangarello, who was hired as a senior offensive assistant.

Logan Ryan Says Playing For Jets Makes Sense

Free-agent defensive back Logan Ryan would be an ideal fit for the New York Jets, but he hasn't come to a decision yet. Ryan said that the Jets would make sense, but he is still “completely open for business.” He wants to do what is best for himself and his family going forward. The Jets […]

Aaron Hicks Swinging

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (elbow) has been swinging a bat and working through a throwing program as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.

James Paxton Throwing Simulated Games

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (back) has been throwing simulated games as he recovers from offseason back surgery. Paxton’s rehab has gone well so far, and it seems like the 31-year-old is in line to be healthy for Opening Day, whenever that may be. When healthy, Paxton is a solid fantasy option who […]

Aaron Judge Expected To Be Ready This Summer

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) has continued to heal from a stress fracture in his rib and is expected to be ready at some point this summer after undergoing additional tests.

Mike Vrabel Hasn't Talked With Jadeveon Clowney

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that he has not talked to defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who remains the best available pass-rusher on the open market. The coronavirus pandemic hasn't helped the injury-prone Clowney's cause this offseason, and he's forced to lower his contract demands. With only the Titans and Seahawks making offers to […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen said that head coach Bruce Arians "wants to keep the offense the same" despite the addition of quarterback Tom Brady.

KBO Betting Picks (5/14/20) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Wednesday was not great and a nice little reality check. However, I don't look back at any of the bets with regret or see flaw in my analysis. An eight-run second inning for LG destroyed any hopes for SK. Samsung's David Buchanan threw arguably the best game of his entire professional career against a potent […]

Daniel Jones Focusing on Ball Security

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a mostly encouraging rookie season in 2019, but there were some concerning signs. Chief among them were his 18 fumbles.

Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey (neck) said he has been cleared to play by the doctors that performed his surgery. "I feel great," Pouncey said.

Rookie Tight Ends in the Best Fantasy Situations

Now that the 2020 NFL Draft has passed, it’s time to look at the fantasy outlooks for many newly-drafted players.

Many rookie tight […]

The Cincinnati Reds will be our next stop on the farm to evaluate the best prospects on each MLB team. Once the 2020 MLB season begins, it may turn out that Minor League systems will be more important than usual.

Starting Pitchers Who Could Bust Your Season

Every season there are countless players who do not live up to expectations. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they had a bad season or that they were not an asset to their fantasy team. Simply, it means that they did not return the expected value based on how high they were drafted. For example, J.D. […]

Mohamed Sanu Out Of Walking Boot

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu Sr. (ankle) is out of his boot and has begun rehabbing his injury. He is currently on pace to be ready to play in training camp. The Pats traded a second-round pick in exchange for Sanu, so he's expected to be a valuable part of their offense. He […]
