Dexter Fowler Healthy Again and "Fine With" His Position Change

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler says he is healthy again and that he gained 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason. He added that he was "fine with" the move to right field, stating that "It'll prolong [his] career." Fowler has always had great fantasy upside, but injuries and slumps have kept him from […]

Brandon Graham is Looking for a Contract Extension

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is looking to sign a contract extension. The 2010 first-round pick had a rough start to his NFL career but has since developed into one of the league's best defensive ends. He was Pro Football Focus' top 4-3 defensive end in 2016 and came in fourth in 2017. He'll […]

Danny Salazar Dealt With Shoulder Inflammation in the Offseason

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar dealt with inflammation in his right rotator cuff in mid-January. He's resumed throwing since then and is reportedly doing well, but he is a "couple of weeks behind" where he should be at this point. It's unclear for now whether this will affect his availability for the beginning of […]

Eagles Re-Sign Taylor Hart

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed offensive tackle Taylor Hart. Hart spent his first three years in the NFL as a defensive lineman but was buried on the depth chart. He switched sides to offensive tackle, but did not appear in any games in 2017. He'll provide offensive line depth for the Eagles backing up Lane Johnson […]

Carson Wentz Provides Updates on His Recovery

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) provided updates on his recovery from a torn ACL. He reiterated that his goal is to be ready to play at the start of the season.

The St. Louis Cardinals will attend free-agent starting pitcher Tim Lincecum's showcase on Thursday.

Cody Anderson Will Throw His First Bullpen on Saturday

Cleveland Indians pitcher Cody Anderson (elbow) will throw his first bullpen session since undergoing Tommy John Surgery. He is scheduled to throw on Saturday. Anderson hopes to be ready for the beginning of the 2018 season, but Cleveland has the depth to allow him to come along slowly and will likely keep him out of games […]

Eagles Have No Plans to Hire an Offensive Coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly have no plans to hire an offensive coordinator to take the place of the departing Frank Reich. Reich was hired as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts after leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory as offensive coordinator. The Eagles appear to be going in house, possibly elevating both […]

Eagles Tight End Brent Celek Could Retire

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek could retire this offseason. Talk about going out on top. Celek was the blocking element of the Eagles tight ends, playing behind pass-catcher Zach Ertz. Celek was in on just over 40 percent of the offensive snaps taken by the Eagles in 2017. Celek has spent all 11 years […]

Kenny Vaccaro Drawing Interest From Cowboys

Free-agent defensive back Kenny Vaccaro has drawn interest from the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. The former New Orleans Saint is now a free agent, and the Cowboys certainly have a need at defensive back. He's set to command a fairly large contract, but he played his college ball for the University of Texas […]

Bud Norris Could Be Used as a Starting Pitcher in St. Louis

Newly-signed St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bud Norris may be given a chance to work as a starting pitcher this season. He's been working (and at times excelling) out of the bullpen in recent seasons, but the Cardinals have said he may get a chance to work in the rotation if any of their young arms […]

Francisco Lindor and the Indians Have Not Had Contract Extension Talks Lately

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor and the team have not had any contract extension talks lately, according to a source familiar with the situation. The two sides were discussing a long-term deal last offseason, but it seems like those talks have been tabled for now. Rumors say Lindor turned down something along the lines of […]

Lance Lynn Drawing Interest from Several Teams

Free-agent starting pitcher Lance Lynn is reportedly drawing interest from seven or eight teams. The Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles are confirmed to be among the teams showing interest, but they are also reportedly exploring the trade market for starting pitching as well. The source mentions that the Cardinals, Lynn's former team, are "not in […]

Fife is 31 and hasn't pitched in a major league game since he underwent Tommy John Surgery in 2014. He spent 2017 with the Marlins organization and with the Seibu Lions in Japan. He's organizational depth, at […]

Zach Ertz Scores a Huge Touchdown in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught seven of his nine targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 67 yards and scoring a touchdown. Ertz continually gained enough yards to move the chains and eventually scored a huge 11-yard touchdown. Ertz is an unquestioned TE1 in fantasy, and a top-three player at his position along with […]

Torrey Smith Catches Five Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith caught five of his nine targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 49 yards. Smith was disappointingly inconsistent this season, defining the boom-or-bust stereotype, without enough booms to justify the busts. If he remains in the same role next season, he won't be worth owning in the majority of formats.

Nelson Agholor Catches Nine Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was targeted 11 times in the Super Bowl, catching nine passes for 84 yards. He also ran the ball once for nine yards. He was clearly part of the game plan for the Eagles, and should remain the same for next season. Agholor had a slow start to his […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Three Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught three passes on eight targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 73 yards and scoring a touchdown. Jeffery's touchdown was an impressive jump ball in the end zone. He started the season off very slowly, but came on strong in the second half of the year and ended up […]

Corey Clement Delivers Huge Plays in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement ran the ball three times for eight yards in the Super Bowl, adding four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. Clement had three enormous plays through the air, including a touchdown that the NFL might have considered overturning. Clement was an undrafted rookie, but he showed plenty […]

LeGarrette Blount Has an Excellent Revenge Game in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount had an excellent performance in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Blount's #revengegame featured 14 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown. He had an amazing 36-yard burst on an option play and a 21-yard touchdown. Playing against his former team, Blount played one of his better games as an […]

Jay Ajayi Makes the Most of Limited Touches in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi ran the ball nine times for 57 yards in the Super Bowl. Ajayi had a 26-yard run in the second quarter, but was out-touched by a very effective LeGarrette Blount. Ajayi showed the ability to be a bell cow back, but couch Doug Pederson likes using a rotation in […]

Nick Foles Wins Super Bowl 52 MVP

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles won Super Bowl 52 MVP on Sunday, leading his team to a victory over the New England Patriots. Foles completed 28-of-43 passes for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Foles also caught a touchdown on a perfectly-called play that worked much better than the version the Patriots tried. Foles […]

2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks - American League Central

The American League Central comes second in our series of 2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks. Check out the first of the series, on the American League East, right here. The AL Central doesn't have bullpens with anywhere near the firepower of the AL East, but there are still some solid arms that can contribute to fantasy […]

La'el Collins Restructures His Contract With Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins had $150,000 of his 2018 salary converted into a signing bonus. He will receive that money immediately, but the team will be able to spread the cap hit evenly across the next two seasons. The move gives the Cowboys a little bit of help with the salary cap. Collins […]

Alex Reyes Enters 2018 Without a Set Role

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Alex Reyes is already in Jupiter, Fla., getting a head start on spring training. The young right-hander is recovering from last year's Tommy John Surgery, and the team has set May 1 as a goal for having him back on the mound. What they have not yet set, though, is […]

Eagles Fully Healthy Heading Into Super Bowl Weekend

The Philadelphia Eagles are fully healthy heading into the weekend of the Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan was back on the practice field on Friday after missing the previous two days due to an illness that had been going around the team. Several players missed practice earlier in the week or practiced but did […]

Torrey Smith Not a Safe Bet to Repeat His Last Performance

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith had a nice game the last time the Eagles played, totaling 69 yards. Most of that was on a 41-yard flea-flicker play, and Smith has only amassed 61 yards total in every other Nick Foles start combined. He's a boom-or-bust player without the huge boom upside to be worth […]

Nelson Agholor Faces a Good Matchup in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor has been trending downwards lately, but he has the best matchup of any Eagles pass catcher on Sunday for Super Bowl 52. Agholor was targeted 16 times in the first two games that Nick Foles started, but has since only been targeted 10 times, catching nine passes for 94 […]

Alshon Jeffery Will Face Yet Another Strong Cornerback in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was no stranger to elite cornerback play this season, and he'll get to deal with it yet again in the Super Bowl this Sunday. Jeffery will face off against Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore for most of Sunday's snaps. While Jeffery did not record a single 100-yard game this season […]
