Austin Meadows, Yandy Diaz Expected To Share Leadoff Duties

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows and corner infielder Yandy Diaz are expected to share leadoff duties for the Rays, at least to begin the regular season.

Ed Dickson Could Be Released

The Seattle Seahawks could release tight end Ed Dickson and save $3 million against the salary cap in order to free up some space to sign either defensive end Everson Griffen or Jadeveon Clowney. They could also look to cut safety Tedric Thompson ($2.1 million cap savings) or center Justin Britt ($8.75 million savings). Britt […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Sim League Lineup Picks (3/21/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

With the cancellation of nearly every sporting event in the county, daily fantasy sites have had to get creative with offerings. That is certainly the case with FanDuel as they have introduced "NBA SIM leagues". Premise: Just like every NBA contest on FanDuel, you will pick two point guards, two shooting guards, two small forwards, […]

Seahawks Considering Everson Griffen

The Seattle Seahawks could choose to sign defensive end Everson Griffen as a fallback option to Jadeveon Clowney, who is seeking around $20 million per season on the open market. Head coach Pete Carroll coached Griffen at USC, and the team's top priority this offseason was to improve their pass rush. Only the Dolphins had […]

Kenyan Drake Signs Transition Tender

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake officially signed his transition tender on Saturday.

Todd Gurley to Falcons: Fantasy Impact  

In the most shocking move so far during the NFL's free agency period, RB Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams was released on Thursday, March 19. For perspective, this comes after signing a record deal of four-years, 60 million dollars back in 2018. It didn’t take long for the star running back to find […]

Hayden Hurst to Falcons: Fantasy Impact 

Amidst the flurry of signings and trades that have occurred at the start of NFL free agency, an under-the-radar move took place early on. 2018 first-round pick Hayden Hurst of the Baltimore Ravens was traded to the Atlanta Falcons. This filled a need at the TE spot with Austin Hooper bolting for Cleveland through a […]

Melvin Gordon to Broncos: Fantasy Impact

Last year, Melvin Gordon held out, hoping for a bigger contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. It didn't happen, so he entered free agency this year, signing a deal on Friday with the Denver Broncos. His two-year deal worth $16 million is undoubtedly less than he hoped for and is far less than the $10 […]

ADP Champ or Chump: Freddy Peralta and Ken Giles

The conventional fantasy wisdom this season seems to be that you need to devote a lot of draft resources to pitching. The logic goes that ace starters are so much better than other arms that you need to have at least one before the end of the third round in standard 12-team leagues. Furthermore, experts […]

Third Base Deep Sleepers for 2020

Third base is arguably the deepest position in fantasy baseball, making the position ripe for late-round gems and sleepers. The considerable depth at the 3B position allows fantasy owners to sit back and wait rather than drafting one in earlier rounds. Indeed, the 25 third basemen drafted within the first 200 picks by ADP are […]

The New Orleans Saints agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders on Friday. The deal can be worth up to $19 million with incentives.

Pirates Want Cole Tucker To See Everyday At-Bats

The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned shortstop Cole Tucker to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday because management would like to see him play every day in the minors rather than sitting the bench regularly behind Kevin Newman to start the 2020 season. General manager Ben Cherington expects Tucker to contribute in the majors soon, and the Pirates think […]

D.J. Stewart Expected To Be Fully Healed

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that he expects outfielder D.J. Stewart (ankle) to be fully healed by the time the regular season starts. Stewart had been ramping up toward game action when spring training was canceled after having microfracture surgery on his ankle last fall. Before his injury he hit .238/.317/.381 with four home […]

Reggie Lawson Goes Under The Knife

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Reggie Lawson (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday. The Friars No. 16 prospect managed just 27 2/3 innings last year in Double-A after dealing with elbow issues and finally succumbed to the knife. The 22-year-old possesses a three-pitch arsenal with upside potential but has been riddled with injuries since his […]

Andres Munoz Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

San Diego Padres reliever Andres Munoz (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday. Without daily news flow, this development comes as a surprise, but Munoz had encountered discomfort earlier in spring training. The 21-year-old debuted last season to a 3.91 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31 percent strikeout rate in 23 frames while averaging a whopping […]

The 25-year-old was competing for a spot on the Opening […]

Freddy Galvis Feeling 100%

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Freddy Galvis (quad) is feeling 100%, according to manager David Bell. Galvis missed some time in spring training with a left quad strain before camps were suspended by the coronavirus last week. The layoff has proven to be helpful for Galvis, who should be able to hit the ground running once teams […]

Nick Senzel's Rehab Slowed

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) has seen his rehab slowed by the suspended camps this spring. Senzel is working his way back after having labrum surgery on his right shoulder back in September. According to manager David Bell, the layoff has slowed Senzel's rehab, indicating that Senzel would be about a week further along […]

Eugenio Suarez Making Progress

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (shoulder) plans to resume his throwing, swinging, and fielding programs next week.

Ke'Bryan Hayes, Cole Tucker Sent To Minors

The Pittsburgh Pirates sent third base prospect Ke'Bryan Hayes, baseball's No. 41 overall prospect, to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. The team also sent Geoff Hartlieb, Sam Howard, Jason Martin, Yacksel Rios, Edgar Santana and Cole Tucker to Indy.

DeValve spent the 2019 season with the Jaguars, where he caught 12 of his 18 targets for 140 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games. He spent the previous three seasons with the Browns, […]

Emmanuel Sanders Unlikely To Land With Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are unlikely to sign free-agent wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders unless he takes substantially less than what everyone thinks he'll get paid, according to Cowboys officials. With Randall Cobb signing with the Texans, Devin Smith is currently Dallas' No. 3 wideout behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup. Sanders would be a nice No. […]

Panthers Sign Pharoh Cooper

The Carolina Panthers signed wide receiver Pharoh Cooper to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. Cooper was a fourth-round pick of the Rams in 2016 and earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2017 as a returner with 932 yards and a touchdown on 34 kickoffs, as well as 399 yards on 32 punt returns. […]

Aaron Judge Sees Improvement In CT Scan

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) underwent a CT scan on Friday that showed a slight improvement in his condition. Judge will now undergo an additional test in a couple of weeks to re-evaluate the stress fracture in his ribs. The Yankees have no reason to rush Judge’s recovery at this point, but the […]

Cowboys Not Looking To Add Jadeveon Clowney

The Dallas Cowboys are not among the teams that are looking to add free-agent pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney, according to a league source. The Giants have been the team most connected to Clowney in a cold free-agent market for the former Texan, but his price will need to come down before he has a chance to […]

Everson Griffen Leaving The Vikings

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen will leave the team and enter free agency, according to his agent, Brian Murphy. "We have broken off talks with Minnesota because they have to spend their money elsewhere and we decided to now focus our attention on free agency," Murphy said in a statement. Plenty of teams will […]
