Franchy Cordero's Stock Up After Latest Padres Trade

San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero is likely the biggest winner with the recent departure of Manuel Margot. With Margot traded to the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend, Cordero has a shot to be the Opening Day starting center fielder. Expected to be a material piece to the Friars since 2018, the 25-year-old has […]

Tiger Woods Chasing First Win At Riviera

Tiger Woods is set to make his second start of 2020 this week at the Genesis Invitational. Woods will serve as the event's host, but he has surprisingly never recorded a win at the legendary Riviera Country Club. A rejuvenated Woods played well en route to a top-15 finish at last year's Genesis and he […]

The fan favorite will attempt to grab that elusive second victory at Riviera this week. […]

Jon Rahm Looks To Continue Stellar Play At Genesis

Paul Casey Disappoints In AT&T Pro-Am

Paul Casey disappointed his many fantasy backers with an underwhelming T64 in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Englishman suffered an ugly final-round 81 to tumble down the leaderboard. It was a surprising finish for the usually-steady veteran that recorded a runner-up finish at Pebble Beach last season. Casey will try to rebound in the […]

Phil Mickelson Falls Short At Pebble Beach

With his game showing signs of life for the second straight week, Phil Mickelson found himself firmly in contention heading into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a tournament that he won last year. The 49-year-old failed to turn back the clock Sunday after a disastrous double-bogey on the eighth hole led […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers – Christin Stewart

Writing about Christin Stewart being a sleeper gives me a feeling of déjà vu, largely because I did the same thing 12 months ago. Stewart didn’t really do much in 2019 to warrant any fantasy relevance, yet here I am letting you know that the Tigers outfielder is once again a sleeper for 2020. Heading […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers – Corey Dickerson

Corey Dickerson signed a two-year deal with the Miami Marlins this offseason, not normally something which is a recipe for fantasy success. However, Dickerson is someone who can provide fantasy value in what appears to be a slightly improved lineup. The addition of Jonathan Villar along with the emergence of Brian Anderson and Jon Berti […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers - Francisco Mejia

Recently touted top prospect Francisco Mejia had an up and down season for the San Diego Padres in 2019. Mejia came over to the Padres in 2018 as part of a deal that sent Brad Hand and Adam Cimber to the Cleveland Indians. Expectations are high for the young catcher, especially considering what the Padres […]

XFL Week 1: What We Learned

The first week of XFL action is behind us and it sure was fun. The league ran a lot more smoothly than last year's attempt at a Spring league, the AAF. The league featured some good offensive play and some good innovations, like a kickoff rule that might have fixed one of football's most dangerous […]

RB Opportunity Share and Impact (NFC East & North)

With the season over and real-life free agency and April's NFL draft ahead of us, it's time to look at how each team split their targets and carries (both of them combined in what is called opportunities; sometimes it's receptions instead of targets, but I wanted to look at the overall volume and total chances instead) […]

Will the Real Shohei Ohtani Please Stand Up?

When he arrived in 2018, Shohei Ohtani was regarded as one of the most dynamic and difficult-to-value players in the league. After two excellent, but injury-marred seasons, that much hasn’t changed. We have a clearer sense of Ohtani’s talent, but drafting him is still a unique challenge. In fact, the fantasy owners I've talked to […]

Kevin Fiala Posts Another Multi-Point Game

Minnesota Wild left wing Kevin Fiala had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado, posting his third multi-point performance in four games.

Gabriel Landeskog Pushes Colorado Past Minnesota

Colorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog notched his 14th goal of the season on Sunday, registering the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory over Minnesota.

Igor Shesterkin Makes 42 Saves In Victory

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin picked up his fifth career victory in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kings, as the 24-year-old stopped 42-of-43 shots on goal in the contest.
