Colts Draft Parris Campbell Late In Second Round
The Indianapolis Colts selected Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell with the No. 59 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Campbell has blazing speed as his best asset and was very productive in 2018 in college. He'll need to develop more route-running skills in the NFL, so he's more of a project for the […]
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Goes To Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Stanford wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside with the No. 57 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Arcega-Whiteside loves to win jump balls due to his basketball background, and it helps that he has very strong hands. He has plenty of speed to bring to the table as well. He'll likely struggle […]
Chiefs Trade Up And Take Mecole Hardman
The Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Rams and selected Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. This one has everything to do with the fact that speedster Tyreek Hill will probably be released in the very near future due to an investigations into his […]
Eagles Add Another Running Back
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Penn State running back Miles Sanders with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Sanders is a patient and versatile runner that run inside or bounce outside. He sat behind Saquon Barkley in 2017 before breaking out last season. He has three-down potential in the NFL and is […]
Bengals Call Drew Sample's Name
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Washington tight end Drew Sample with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Sample is an extremely strong and physical tight end that excels in the blocking game. He didn't have much production catching the football in college, but the Bengals apparently love his physicality and he should […]
Titans Add Position Of Need With A.J. Brown
The Tennessee Titans selected Mississippi wide receiver A.J. Brown with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Brown put up huge numbers at Ole Miss and often breaks tackles for nice gains after the catch. He's extremely athletic -- signed with the Padres out of high school -- and is very fast. […]
Vikings Take Irv Smith At No. 50
The Minnesota Vikings selected Alabama tight end Irv Smith with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Smith runs good routes, has strong hands and has plenty of after-the-catch upside. He averaged 16.1 yards per catch as a junior in 2018. Smith's selection may cause the Vikings to shop current starter Kyle […]
Greedy Williams Taken By Browns
The Cleveland Browns traded up with the Colts and selected Louisiana State cornerback Greedy Williams with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. At this point in the second round, this represents pretty good value for one of the best cornerback prospects in the draft. Williams is tall and athletic and has […]
Drew Lock Falls To Denver In Second Round
The Denver Broncos traded up with the Bengals and selected Missouri quarterback Drew Lock with the No. 42 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft on Friday. Lock has a huge arm and can make all the necessary throws in the NFL, but he is a little raw and will need to be coached up […]
Niners Draft Deebo Samuel Friday
The San Francisco 49ers selected South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He has elite athleticism and is physical after the catch. Because he's built more like a running back and not a receiver, his durability will be a concern at the next level. Samuel […]
Jaguars Trade Up For Jawaan Taylor
The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up with the Raiders and selected Florida offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor with the No. 35 overall pick in the start of the second round of the 2019 NFL draft on Friday. Taylor has first-round talent, so this could be a steal for the Jaguars this early in the second round. He'll […]
Little Trade Interest In Chris Harris Jr.
Contrary to a previous report, there is little to no trade interest in Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. Previous reports suggested that other teams were interested in trading for Harris, but he's likely to remain in Denver in 2019 if he's not traded on Friday during the draft. The Pro Bowl cornerback wants a […]
Will Fuller's Fifth-Year Option Picked Up
The Houston Texans exercised wide receiver Will Fuller's fifth-year team option on Friday. Fuller was the team's first-round pick in 2016 and he'll make $10.162 million in 2020.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (quadriceps) is back in the starting lineup in center field and will hit seventh against Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu on Friday night.

Lou Trivino Still Unavailable
Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that relief pitcher Lou Trivino (thumb) is feeling better, but he's still unlikely to be available on Friday. However, the fact that he hasn't gone on the injured list yet is a good sign that he could return to action soon. The right-hander was one of the team's best […]
Ryan Carpenter Lined Up For Saturday
Detroit Tigers pitcher Ryan Carpenter is lined up to make a spot start against the White Sox on Saturday, but manager Ron Gardenhire doesn't think they'll play the game due to poor expected weather conditions.

Manny Banuelos To Be Fifth Starter
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos will be the team's fifth starter moving forward. A spot in the rotation opened up when the ineffective veteran Ervin Santana was designated for assignment on Friday. Banuelos, 28, has a 2.51 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 in five outings (one start) over 14 1/3 innings so […]

Carter Kieboom Hitting Ninth In Debut
Washington Nationals shortstop prospect Carter Kieboom is hitting ninth in his major league debut on Friday against Padres starting pitcher Matt Strahm. Kieboom is the team's top prospect and No. 24 overall, per MLB Pipeline, and he should play every day until Trea Turner (finger) returns from his injury. He's worth starting in all leagues […]
Anthony Rendon Returns Friday
Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Friday and will face Padres starting pitcher Matt Strahm. Rendon hasn't played since last Saturday, April 20, but fantasy owners need to get him back into all lineups. The All-Star has been one of the best all-around players in baseball this […]
Josh Smith Making Spot Start Friday
The Boston Red Sox have called up pitcher Josh Smith to make a spot start on Friday against the Rays in Boston. The 31-year-old right-hander has a career 5.30 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and weak 7.3 K/9 in 67 outings at the big league level. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2017 with the A's […]
