Mets Still Trying To Bring Back Pete Alonso

Even after landing the crown jewel of the free-agent market in outfielder Juan Soto, the New York Mets are still trying to bring back fan favorite first baseman Pete Alonso.

The San Francisco Giants are said to be the "heavy favorites" for landing free-agent pitcher Corbin Burnes.

On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox acquired starting pitcher Garrett Crochet from the White Sox.

Orioles Interested In Acquiring Dylan Cease

The Baltimore Orioles are in the market for pitching help as it seems less and less likely that free-agent right-hander Corbin Burnes will be returning to the team in 2025, so the O's are reportedly interested in acquiring the Padres' Dylan Cease.

The Milwaukee Brewers are "engaged with the White Sox" for the services of pitcher Garrett Crochet.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back reliever Blake Treinen on a two-year, $22 million contract. The 36-year-old had a fantastic season coming out of the 'pen for the Dodgers, recording 16 holds and a save on the back of a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and an 11:56 BB:K over 46 2/3 IP. It was […]

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was a non-factor in the passing game yet again in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings.

Younghoe Koo A Risky Option As Accuracy Issues Persist

Kyle Pitts A Low-End TE2 Dart Throw In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has burned fantasy managers in three of the last four contests, culminating with a two-target, zero-catch performance in Week 13.

Darnell Mooney A Low-End WR3 In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice on Friday but does not appear to be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

Drake London A Borderline WR1 Against The Vikings

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had been one of the most consistent, higher-scoring wide receivers for fantasy in the early going of the season, but as Kirk Cousins has faded, so too has London.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has gone without a touchdown pass in three consecutive games while throwing six interceptions during that stretch, four of which came just last week in a loss to the Chargers.
