Kenyan Drake Does Little in Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake saw his highest usage of the year in a 31-6 loss to the Cowboys but it meant little for his fantasy line, as he ended with just 38 yards on 12 carries. Drake also added three catches for 34 yards for a total of 15 touches in comparison to […]

Josh Rosen Fails to Spark Dolphins Offense

Getting his first start for his new team, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen moved the offense only slightly better than his predecessor Ryan Fitzpatrick in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Rosen completed 18-of-39 passes for 200 yards with no touchdowns, although he did have a touchdown dropped by Preston Williams. There are zero […]

Devante Parker Makes Sensational Catch

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker did little to help any desperate owners forced to start him in Week 3, catching 3-of-6 targets for 56 yards in a 31-6 Dolphins loss to the Cowboys.

Carolina Panther tight end Greg Olsen lit up the scoreboard with two touchdowns in a 38-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3.

Christian McCaffrey Comes Up Big

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey rebounded for 188 total yards and a touchdown in a Week 3 win over Arizona a week after totaling just 53 yards in a loss to the Bucs. Carrying the ball 24 times for 153 yards, the highlight of the game was a 76-yard touchdown run right up the […]

Preston Williams Leads Dolphins Receivers

For the second week in a row, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams led the team in both targets and yards in another blowout loss to the Cowboys in Week 3. Williams only caught four passes for 68 yards but his 12 targets doubled those of fellow receiver Devante Parker, as the rookie continues to […]

John Brown Quiet in Win

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown put up a ho-hum fantasy line on Sunday, catching 4-of-5 targets for 59 yards in a 21-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Saquon Barkley Returns to Sideline in Walking Boot

After leaving the game shortly before halftime with an ankle injury suffered against Tampa Bay, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley returned to the sidelines with a protective boot on his right foot.

Head-to-Head Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 26

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Mitch Moreland Homers Twice in Loss

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland tried his best to keep his team from being eliminated from the playoff race on Friday night, providing all of the Red Sox offense in a 6-4 loss in Tampa Bay. Moreland hit a pair of two-run home runs but the Red Sox fell nevertheless and will now […]

Zack Greinke Uninspiring in Win

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke did just enough to get the win on Friday night, allowing four earned runs in five innings of a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Greinke gave up seven hits and struck out four, nearly squandering a 5-0 Astros lead before giving way to the Houston bullpen. The right-hander […]

Mike Fiers Bounces Back Against Rangers

Oakland Athletics starter Mike Fiers has destroyed the ratios - and fantasy championship dreams - of many an owner in the past two weeks, allowing 16 earned runs in the 7 2/3 innings that his last three starts have been comprised of. But nevertheless, Fiers tried to kiss and make up with his jilted owners […]

Atlanta Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz helped clinch the Braves' second straight division title, pitching eight innings of shutout ball in a 6-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada hit his 23rd home run of the year on Friday night, taking Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann deep in the third inning.

Eloy Jimenez is Grand in White Sox Victory

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez continued his improved second half, hitting a grand slam off of Jordan Zimmermann in the fourth inning of a 10-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The rookie has 29 home runs on the year and now has left the park five times in his last 10 games. After a […]

Nicholas Castellanos Hits 57th Double of Year

Chicago Cubs outfielder Nicholas Castellanos hit his 57th double of the year in a 2-1 loss to the Cardinals on Friday afternoon. The double is significant as it marks the first time a right-hander has hit that many doubles since Billy Herman hit 57 for the Cubs in 1936. It looks like Castellanos was the […]

Mike Yastrzemski Has Three Hits in Loss

Shut out 6-0 on Friday by the Braves, it wasn't for lack of trying on the part of San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, seeing that he was responsible for three of the Giants four hits on the night. The rookie had a double and two singles as the rest of the Giants lineup was […]

Anthony Santander Goes Deep in Orioles Win

Already down 2-0 in the bottom of the first inning, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander quickly erased the deficit with a three-run home run off of Seattle Mariners starter Felix Hernandez.

Giancarlo Stanton Hits the Bench

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is out of Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays after playing the previous two games in his return from injury. This is likely just a normal part of New York's plan to ease the slugger back after seeing that he has played in only a total of nine games […]

J.T. Realmuto Out of Lineup on Friday Night

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is out of the starting lineup for Friday night's game at Cleveland.

Buster Posey Gets the Night Off

San Francisco catcher Buster Posey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Braves. Presumably, this is to take it easy with Posey's recent back injury which caused him to miss three games earlier this week. Posey returned to the lineup on Thursday and played with no reported issues but the Giants will […]
