Rashaad Penny Might Get Overlooked

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is No. 2 on the team's depth chart, but that doesn't mean much in head coach Pete Carroll's world. Penny was theoretically No.2 last season and was the team's first-round pick, but he regularly got passed by on game day with the team opting for a variety of other […]

Chris Carson Should Have A Huge Day

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is coming off a big year, and he gets a fun matchup to start 2019. After racking up more than 1,100 yards in 2018, Carson comes into Week 1 as the team's top choice in the backfield again, and he gets to face a Bengals Defense that got ran […]

Russell Wilson Poised For Big Week

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is ready to rock against a Bengals Defense that is coming off a terrible season. Cincy went through a variety of coaching changes over the offseason, and they still have some amazing players like defensive tackle Geno Atkins, but there's no denying that they were knocked around with ease last […]

Hunter Henry Returns

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry has been one of the guys lost in the shuffle a bit during the offseason. With running back Melvin Gordon taking center stage by holding out, Philip Rivers getting attention by not playing in any preseason games for the first time in nearly 15 years, Keenan Allen showing […]

Mike Williams Poised For Red-Zone Success

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams could be a serious breakout candidate this season. With the team moving on from Tyrell Williams this offseason, Mike Williams is now the clear-cut No. 2 wideout on the roster, and owners should expect that he'll see liberal use on game day. Williams made huge leaps last year, […]

Keenan Allen Not On Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was not listed on the team's most recent injury report and is expected to be fully ready to go in Sunday's game against the Colts. Allen was easily the team's top receiver last season, and he's expected to lead the charge once again in 2019. Allen caught 97 […]

Justin Jackson Going To Carry The Water?

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson is likely going to be tagged to get plenty of carries on Sunday against the Colts, but it's not clear how many yet. Head coach Anthony Lynn is playing it close to the vest, and if last year is anything to go on, Jackson could see anywhere from […]

Austin Ekeler Could Be In For Tough Week

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is likely going to be the primary back while running back Melvin Gordon remains out, but that may not be a great thing. Ekeler is expected to share carries with Justin Jackson, but when Gordon was hurt last season, the pair struggled a bit. Ekeler has found the […]

Philip Rivers Ready To Get Some Action

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is ready to hit the field on Sunday after sitting out all the preseason games for the first time since 2005. Head coach Anthony Lynn tried to withhold some of his starters this year in hopes of combating a rash of injuries that have plagued the team over previous […]

Glenn Sparkman Only Goes Four Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman struggled mightily once again, lasting just four innings in the loss to the Tigers on Thursday. Sparkman allowed four earned runs on seven hits, three of which were home runs. He only struck out two, but he didn't walk anyone. This makes three straight outings where Sparkman has […]

Nick Dini Knocks Two Hits On Thursday

Kansas City Royals catcher Nick Dini doubled and singled in Thursday's game against the Tigers, giving him his first multi-hit game of his career. Dini's only hitting .200 so far, but he's got an on-base percentage that is approaching .300 and has had a knack for scoring runs, crossing the plate nine times in his […]

Bubba Starling Continues Skid

Kansas City Royals outfielder Bubba Starling went 0-for-4 on Thursday to push his batting average down once again. Starling is now 8-for-48 over his last 14 games, hitting just .170 during that time. He's only clocked one homer, and he's striking out north of 34% of the time. Hopefully, these are just some basic struggles […]

Jorge Lopez Promoted To Starting Spot

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jorge Lopez has been bumped up into the rotation moving forward. Manager Ned Yost told reporters about the move, stating that Lopez has been pitching better and is thus worthy of the spot. That's not really clear since he gave up nine earned runs in 11 innings of work scattered across […]

Eric Skoglund Bumped From Rotation

Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund's stay in the rotation was a short one. After just two starts, Skoglund is being sent to the bullpen to make way for Jorge Lopez. Skoglund's last start was a debacle as he allowed six earned runs in four innings while walking three and only striking out one, but […]

Mike Montgomery Takes No-Decision Against Tigers

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Montgomery posted another good outing on Tuesday, but bullpen struggles robbed him of the win. Montgomery allowed just one run in 5 2/3 innings, leaving with a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately, the back end of his bullpen fell apart a bit, and the Royals had to win the game on […]

Ian Kennedy Stumbles, Is Gifted Win

Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy fumbled his save opportunity on Tuesday when he allowed the tying run to score in the top of the ninth inning, but a clutch home run by Ryan O'Hearn in the bottom half of the inning awarded Kennedy the win instead. Kennedy gave up three singles that allowed for […]

Hunter Dozier Snags Golden Sombrero

Kansas City Royals corner infielder Hunter Dozier was one of the few members of the team to struggle against the Tigers on Tuesday as he found himself flailing all day instead of adding to the team's run total. Dozier went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on the day, earning his second golden sombrero of the season. […]

Whit Merrifield Knocks Three More Hits

Kansas City Royals utility player Whit Merrifield put up a trio of hits again on Tuesday, bringing him to 174 for the season. He also scored his 92nd run of the year as he continues his quest to the century mark. The infielder/outfielder has also hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games and […]

Ryan O'Hearn Walks Off Tigers

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn was the hero in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday when he pushed a 95 mph heater over the left center wall to walk off Detroit. O'Hearn was pinch hitting, and the fading fastball was the first pitch he saw on the night. The home run […]

Adalberto Mondesi Swipes Another One

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi appears to be completely unhindered by the separated shoulder that kept him on the Injured List for almost two months. Mondesi stole another base on Tuesday, giving him four in his first two games back. It's perfect timing for fantasy owners since most leagues' playoffs are just getting underway. […]

Jorge Soler Sets New Royals Record In Homers

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler's breakout season has now resulted in his name entering the KC record books. Soler ripped his 39th home run of the season on Tuesday, giving him the new record for most home run in a single season in franchise history. Soler also smacked a pair of singles in the […]

Peter Lambert Rocked Again By Dodgers

Colorado Rockies rookie starting pitcher Peter Lambert had to face division-leading LA again on Monday, and he got lit up worse than ever before. Lambert has faced the Dodgers three times this year, and this was the worst appearance by far. Lambert was chased after just 1 2/3 innings, allowing six earned runs in the […]

Ian Desmond Homers, Pitches In Blowout

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond made his first impact in Monday's game when he came in to pitch in the eighth inning of a blowout loss to the Dodgers. It was Desmond's first-ever time pitching in the majors, and he only allowed one hit in his inning of relief. A fair sight better than most […]

Charlie Blackmon Knocks Three Doubles

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon continued to tattoo the ball by smacking three doubles in Monday's game with the Dodgers. The 32-year-old did his part in helping the teams reach history as this was the first-ever game where the two teams combined for 11 home runs and 11 doubles in the same game. Blackmon has […]

Nolan Arenado Launches 36th Homer

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado continued his climb back to 40 home runs by knocking out his 36th of the season on Monday in LA. Arenado was one of four Rockies to homer in the slugfest against the Dodgers, and the game raised his average to .311 while also pushing him to 107 RBI […]

Trevor Story Drills His 30th Home Run

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story launched a solo shot at Dodger Stadium on Monday for his 30th long ball of the season. It's Story's second straight year topping 30 homers, and he's coupled it with the highest batting average of his career. Small improvements in his patience and strikeout rate have helped bump his average […]

David Dahl Continues His Rehab

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (ankle) did not make the road trip with the team and continues to rehab in Colorado, according to manager Bud Black. Dahl has been out since August 2, and it sounds like he's still a ways from returning. At this point, it's questionable whether he'll be back this season. The […]

Raimel Tapia Expected Back Tuesday Or Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is expected to be activated from the Injured List on Tuesday or Wednesday as he's completely recovered from his hand contusion. Tapia spent the minimum amount of time on the IL, as he was originally placed on the list on August 24. He's likely to see plenty of playing time […]

German Marquez Unlikely To Return In 2019

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez is eager to get back to game action after hitting the Injured List on August 22 with right arm inflammation, but manager Bud Black threw some cold water on that idea by telling reporters that the likelihood of Marquez returning is just an "outside chance." Marquez has still been […]

Kyle Freeland Continues To Progress Slowly

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland has been sidelined with a groin strain since August 20, but he's been making slow and steady progress so he can come back this season. Freeland's healing has been slower than expected, but he told reporters that there haven't been any actual setbacks. He threw off the slope in […]
