Mac Jones - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is a viable, mid-range QB2 in fantasy football ahead of this week's game versus the Miami Dolphins. Jones found success while facing a heavy workload last Sunday, completing 35 of 54 passes for 316 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He'll likely approach 50 attempts again this week as […]

Chicago Cubs first base prospect Brian Kalmer was an 18th-round pick just two months ago and has looked absolutely phenomenal in his limited pro action. Selected out of Gonzaga as a third baseman, Kalmer has primarily played first so far, but the Cubs have plenty of time to experiment with his defensive profile. Offensively, there's […]

Atlanta Braves minor leaguer Spencer Schwellenbach has emerged as one of the club's top pitching prospects. Although the start of his pro career was delayed due to Tommy John surgery, he came out of his recovery with his fastball peaking at an impressive 98 mph. He consistently demonstrates impressive control and has developed both his […]

Baltimore Orioles 19-year-old catcher Samuel Basallo has emerged as an impressive prospect with incredible bat speed and power. The Dominican Republic native is definitely a bat-first minor leaguer, and the Orioles have to be impressed by the decrease in his K/BB rate this season. Defensively, his arm strength and pop time are a little underwhelming. […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoAdam Macko Dominant When Healthy
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. Born in Slovakia, the southpaw went to high school in Alberta before the Mariners made him their seventh-round […]

Chicago Cubs third base prospect Luis Verdugo signed with the organization out of Mexico in 2017. Widely regarded as a talented defender, the 22-year-old has solidified himself as a long-term third baseman with impressive glovework, especially on challenging hops at the hot corner. On offense, there are real doubts about his bat and discipline, though […]

The opening Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJason Sanders Productive Despite Missed Extra Point
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders was relatively productive on Sunday, going 3-for-3 on field goals and 3-for-4 on extra points. His longest kick came from 45 yards out. Sanders' performance benefitted from a shootout-style game between Miami and Los Angeles. He should be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy kicker as long as the Dolphins […]

The Miami Dolphins' defense struggled to slow down Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers' offense in Week 1. While Miami won, they surrendered 34 points and failed to record a single turnover. The unit did, however, tally three sacks, including one each from Kader Kohou and Zach Sieler. Even with a game versus the […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoRiver Cracraft Finds End Zone Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver River Cracraft hauled in three of his five targets for 33 yards and one touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoBraxton Berrios Logs Three Catches In Dolphins Debut
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios hauled in three of his five targets for 42 receiving yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon. The versatile, athletic receiver is capable of making plays happen, but he isn't currently on the fantasy radar. Look elsewhere if you need to bolster the wide receiver position in […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoDurham Smythe Targeted Seven Times In Week 1
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe turned seven targets into three catches for 44 yards during Sunday's season opener versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Smythe wasn't expected to have a huge game, so his final contributions to the box score should be viewed as a great result as the Dolphins continue to evaluate their tight […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJaylen Waddle Catches Four Passes In Season Opener
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle hauled in four of five targets for 78 yards during Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The performance doesn't nearly compare to teammate Tyreek Hill's 215 yards and two touchdowns, but Waddle was still solid enough to keep fantasy managers satisfied. As long as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoTyreek Hill Explodes For 215 Yards, Two Touchdowns
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill had one of the best games of his career on Sunday, registering 11 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (ankle) officially tore his Achilles during Week 1, an MRI confirmed. Head coach John Harbaugh announced the unfortunate news postgame.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoDe'Von Achane Officially Inactive For Week 1
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers. Heyward exited in the first half, returned, and then exited again before being ruled out. Isaiahh Loudermilk should see more snaps in his absence.
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJ.K. Dobbins Feared To Have Torn Achilles
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's season opener against the Houston Texans.

Chicago Bears tight end Robert Tonyan (back) is officially active for Week 1 versus the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but will ultimately suit up as Cole Kmet's backup. He can be left on fantasy football waivers.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh hasn't been able to get much done on offense, and now they'll be without one of their top receivers for the rest of the contest. George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth should see […]

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 1 versus the Houston Texans. He exited in the second half after totaling 37 scrimmage yards and one touchdown.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoRashaad Penny Officially Inactive Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's season opener against the New England Patriots. Indeed, an early-morning report that Penny would be a scratch has come to fruition. D'Andre Swift is a fringe top-24 fantasy back while Kenneth Gainwell has FLEX appeal in deeper leagues. Of course, Jalen Hurts […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJerry Jeudy Officially Inactive Sunday
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
