Andersen Pickard 1 year agoPatriots Defense Difficult To Trust In Week 2
The New England Patriots' defense is worth avoiding in fantasy football ahead of their Week 2 clash with the Miami Dolphins.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoMike Gesicki - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki gets his chance for a revenge game on Sunday Night Football versus the Miami Dolphins.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoEzekiel Elliott - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott will continue to operate behind Rhamondre Stevenson on Sunday night versus Miami.

Baltimore Orioles 19-year-old catcher Samuel Basallo has emerged as an impressive prospect with incredible bat speed and power.

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Adam Macko is an impressive starter who has used 2023 to show what he can do when healthy, given the fact that he made just 17 outings over the two seasons prior.
