Bud Norris Takes a Loss on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris took the loss on Saturday, lowering his record to 3-5. He came into the ninth inning of a tie game and issued two walks while only getting one out and allowing the game winning run to score. Norris seems to have lost his closer's job, but he was […]

Jack Flaherty Lasts Just Five Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty only made it through five innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits, walking four and striking out six. Flaherty is having an amazing rookie season, but this wasn't his best start. He threw 92 pitches, 57 for strikes. He'll look for better results his next time […]

Roberto Perez Drives in Four Runs on Saturday

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez had an excellent day on Saturday, driving in four runs while going 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Perez homered in the fifth inning and hit a double as well. On the season, Perez is hitting just .157 with a .506 OPS. Despite the strong day, Perez is not a recommended […]

He didn't issue a walk and struck out four, allowing three home runs along the way. Plutko's ERA rose to 5.35, and he continues to be a poor streaming option in any format.

Carlos Carrasco Dominates the Blue Jays on Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was completely dominant on Friday but was denied a victory. In eight innings, he allowed just one earned run (two runs total) on six hits and one walks while striking out 14. He very much deserved his 17th win of the season, but Cleveland ultimately ended up losing this […]

Austin Gomber Puts Up Another Quality Start on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Austin Gomber put together his third consecutive quality start on Friday, but it wasn't enough to earn a win.

Darren Sproles Leads the Eagles Backfield in Snaps

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles led the Eagles backfield in snaps on Thursday night. He ran the ball five times for 10 yards and secured four catches for 22 yards. Sproles looked as good as ever in this one despite the putrid quarterback play from Nick Foles. Jay Ajayi did end up with more […]

Corey Clement Gets Five Carries on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times on Thursday night, gaining 26 yards. Almost all of Clement's yardage came on a huge 21-yard run, he was bottled up otherwise. Mixing into the backfield for hurry up work, Clement did what he was supposed to do. He seemed to be operating behind […]

Zach Ertz Hauls in Five Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes on Thursday night, gaining 48 yards. He had a long gain of 18, but also was charged with his first drop since the 2016 season. It was an awful game by quarterback Nick Foles, but Ertz still managed to put up a decent enough performance. He'll […]

Nelson Agholor Catches Eight Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was targeted 10 times on Thursday night, catching eight passes. He somehow managed to gain just 33 yards total on those eight catches. Quarterback Nick Foles played very poorly, throwing errant passes that Agholor was able to catch, but often had to go down with immediately. It was a […]

Jay Ajayi Scores Twice on Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi scored two touchdowns on Thursday night, running the ball 15 times for 62 yards. Ajayi got off to a slow start and ceded plenty of snaps to Darren Sproles and Corey Clement, but he ended up scoring two huge touchdowns, helping the Eagles win 18-12. He may not stay […]

Nick Foles Leads His Team to a Win Despite Not Doing Much

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, starting in place of the injured Carson Wentz (knee), led his team to a win on Thursday night despite not putting up impressive numbers at all. Foles completed 19-of-34 passes for just 117 scoreless yards. He also threw an interception, but the Eagles ultimately won 18-12. Foles was very much […]

Mack Hollins Sent to Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. Hollins was slated for a much bigger role in his sophomore season, but he needs more time to recover from sports hernia surgery. He's a candidate to return in the second half of the season, but he certainly doesn't […]

Matt Adams Goes Yard Twice on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams hit two home runs on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. The two blasts gave him 20 on the year. He hit his first one in the first inning with two runners on base, then added a solo shot in the fifth inning for […]

Carlos Martinez Earns a Save on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez picked up a save on Wednesday, tossing the last two innings of the Cardinals' 7-6 win over the Washington Nationals.

Miles Mikolas Coughs Up a Dozen Hits but Still Wins

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas wasn't at his best on Wednesday but was still able to end up with a win. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing 12 hits but just four runs. He struck out two and did not issue a walk. Mikolas was very hittable in this one, but he was […]

Brad Hand Strikes Out the Side for a Save on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Brad Hand picked up his 32nd save of the season on Wednesday, striking out the side in the ninth inning to close out a 3-1 win for his team. With Cody Allen working the eighth inning ahead of Hand in this one, it looks like Hand is taking over the closer's […]

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber struck out 10 batters in 6 2/3 innings of work on Wednesday. He gave up just one run on two hits and a walk against the Kansas City Royals, earning a win and a quality start. Kluber improved to 18-7 on the season with a 2.75 ERA.

Tavon Austin Shouldn't Be Near Starting Lineups in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/running back Tavon Austin should not be anywhere near a starting lineup for Week 1. While Austin has drawn rave reviews both from his quarterback and his coaches, he still seems low on the pecking order and will need designed plays in order to make much noise on the field. While this […]

Michael Gallup Could Do Some Damage on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup may be the only Dallas receiver worth starting in fantasy on Sunday for Week 1. Facing the Carolina Panthers defense, a unit that allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers last season, Gallup could lead the Cowboys in receiving. He looked good in the preseason and […]

Terrance Williams Not a Week 1 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 1. Despite going up against a Carolina Panthers defense that gave up the fifth-most points to opposing wide receivers last season, Williams likely won't do much. With wide receivers Allen Hurns and Michael Gallup seeming like more appealing targets for quarterback […]

Allen Hurns Not a Great Option Despite a Strong Matchup

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a great fantasy option for Week 1 despite a good matchup against the Carolina Panthers defense. Hurns barely did anything in the preseason and was dealing with a groin injury for most of it. He's expected to play in Week 1, but he and quarterback Dak Prescott […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Put Up Decent Numbers on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might not amaze in Week 1, but he should put up solid enough numbers when Dallas travels to Carolina to face the Panthers. Elliott will certainly receive enough carries to put up some points, but his usage in the passing game remains to be seen. The Carolina defense did […]

Dak Prescott Could Disappoint in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a highly recommended fantasy option in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. He is currently ranked somewhere in the lower half of the QB2 tier for the first week. His rushing could provide a decent floor, but with the Cowboys playing as underdogs on the road, he likely […]

Jordan Hicks Records a Save on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks earned a save on Tuesday, recording an out against the only batter he faced. Hicks was warming up in the bullpen for a regular save chance, but the Cardinals offense extended the lead to 11-5 before Hicks came in. When a pair of Cardinals relievers struggled and turned […]

Jose Ramirez Getting Wednesday Off

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. There doesn't seem to be any kind of injury to worry about here, it's just a routine day off for Ramirez. Yandy Diaz will step in to play third base and hit third while Ramirez gets […]
