Ryan Spann Showcases In Saturday Night's Co-Main Event

Typically in a contest pitting heavier weight-class fighters who are both strong on the ground, we'd see more of a standup battle. That was the case in Saturday night's co-main event, when we witnessed Ryan Spann (19-6) decimate Misha Cirkunov in the first round. In only 1:11 of action, Spann dropped Cirkunov twice, with the […]

Daniel Carlson Slapped With Second-Round Tender

The Las Vegas Raiders placed a second-round tender on impending restricted free-agent kicker Daniel Carlson on Monday. Carlson had a great year in 2020, making 94.3 percent of his 35 field-goal attempts (just two misses) while also making 45 of his 47 extra-point attempts in 16 regular season games. He had a single-season franchise record […]

Robin Lehner Getting Closer To A Return

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner is inching closer to a return to full health after having been sidelined for over a month due to an upper-body injury. Lehner, taken in the third-round in most Yahoo! fantasy drafts before the season, hasn't laced up his skates for an official game since February 7th but is […]

Ngakoue spent the 2020 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars on the franchise tag before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings and then the Baltimore Ravens. With the Vikings and Ravens […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Back In Net On Monday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will make his sixth consecutive start as his team hosts the San Jose Sharks on Monday. The 26-year-old is coming off a stellar performance in a win versus the Blues on Saturday in which he stopped 34 of 35 shots fired his way. Taking over the reigns with fellow […]

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball: Pitch Info

One of the most fundamental questions in fantasy sports is if a player's current performance is sustainable. More than any other sport, baseball has a slew of statistical measures that can be dissected in numerous ways to analyze player performance. Pitch Info is a publicly-available pitch tracking system that provides a lot of different data to […]

Aaron Jones Stays In Green Bay - Fantasy Impact

One of the more shocking moments of NFL free agency happened on Sunday, before free agency had even began. Aaron Jones is returning to the Green Bay Packers. After the team chose not to use the franchise tag on Jones, it seemed like a foregone conclusion he'd be going somewhere else this season. But nope, […]

FFPC Best-Ball ADP: Early Targets and Avoids

Forget free agency, the NFL Draft, and training camp. Best-ball season is already here and it's not too soon to start drafting. I know my fellow best-ball junkies have already got multiple rosters built because this is the best time to take advantage of great value picks before their ADP soars. Likewise, there are certain […]

Mac Jones - 2021 NFL Draft Prospect Profile

The NFL Draft Prospect Profile Series features prominent 2021 NFL Draft prospects with film analysis and scouting insights. I have experience working in college football and have been studying the NFL Draft for over 15 years. My analysis is based on film study and analytics. A common misconception about the NFL Draft is that the college […]

Chandler Stephenson Listed As Game-Time Call On Monday

Vegas Golden Knights forward Chandler Stephenson has been labeled as a game-time decision ahead of his team's matchup with the San Jose Sharks on Monday night. Stephenson, who has compiled eight points (two goals, six assists) over his past eight games, did not participate in Vegas' morning skate due to an undisclosed injury. Still just […]

Corey Davis Reaches Agreement With Jets

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis reached an agreement on a three-year, $37.5 million deal with the New York Jets on Monday, according to sources. The deal includes $27 million in guarantees. The fifth overall pick of the 2017 draft cashed in after the best season of his career in 2020. The 26-year-old hauled […]

Rob Gronkowski Re-Signed By Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is returning for the 2021 season on a one-year, $10 million deal. The lively 31-year-old finished as a top-10 fantasy TE in 2020. He tallied 623 yards and seven touchdowns on 45 receptions in 16 games. Considering how barren the TE landscape is, Gronkowski still has low-end TE1 […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 12

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Nelson Agholor Headed To New England

Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor agreed to terms on a two-year, $26 million contract with the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old enjoyed a productive 2020 campaign that saw him tally 896 yards and eight touchdowns on 48 receptions. The move to the Patriots' run-heavy offense does not bode well for Agholor's overall […]

Kyle Tucker Gets Fourth Hit Of Spring On Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker went 1-for-3 against the Marlins on Monday afternoon, picking up his fourth hit of the spring in the loss. After posting back-to-back seasons with an average over .265 and a slugging percentage over .510, Tucker is currently the highest drafted Astro in fantasy with an ADP at 32. However, Tucker […]

Carlos Hyde Signing Two-Year Deal With Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with running back Carlos Hyde on a two-year, $6 million contract, according to multiple sources. The 30-year-old proved to be a useful veteran back in Seattle during 2020. Hyde has miniscule fantasy value behind James Robinson on the depth chart, as he is not much of a threat in […]

Max Scherzer Strikes Out Seven On Monday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer allowed two hits while striking out seven across four scoreless innings on Monday against the Cardinals. After getting a late start to the spring due to a left ankle sprain, Scherzer has looked like the elite fantasy pitcher managers expect, allowing just two runs on three hits and two […]

Kendrick Bourne Agrees To Deal With Patriots

The New England Patriots and wide receiver Kendrick Bourne have agreed to a three-year, $22.5 million contract, according to multiple sources. The Patriots have stockpiled skill-position players on the first day of the NFL's legal tampering period. Bourne is a useful receiver, but nothing more than a WR3/4 in fantasy formats. Perhaps more than anything, […]

Wander Franco Reassigned To Minor League Camp

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was reassigned to minor league camp on Monday, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com. The move was not surprising, as Franco was considered a long-shot to crack the roster after missing last year due to the canceled minor league season, as well as having never played above High-A. Franco […]

Alex Bregman Set To Make Spring Debut Tuesday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (hamstring) will make his spring training debut on Tuesday, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. Bregman has yet to appear in a game this spring due to a lingering hamstring issue, although he had previously tweeted that if it were during the regular season, he would have already been back in […]

Austin Riley Clears COVID Protocols, Will Return Wednesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and will return to the lineup on Wednesday, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Riley last played on Thursday and was penciled into Monday's lineup before being removed just prior to the game's start. Riley hasn't shown power this spring, but he's been […]

Zack Greinke Named Opening Day Starter For Astros

Houston Astros starting pitcher Zack Greinke has been named the Opening Day starter, according to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. Greinke went 3-3 with a 4.03 ERA over 12 starts in 2020, posting a 24.5 percent strikeout rate and a 3.3 percent walk rate in 67 innings. He will open the season on the […]

J.A. Happ Has Encouraging Debut On Monday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher J.A. Happ made his spring debut on Monday against the Braves. Happ pitched two scoreless innings, scattering a pair of walks and a hit to go along with a strikeout. The veteran left-hander said that he struggled a bit with his fastball command- which was evident on the two free passes […]

Steven Stamkos Nets 13th Goal Of The Season

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos scored the team's only goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to Nashville, reaching 13 goals for the season. Alex Killorn and Yanni Gourde delivered the assists. Stamkos has left his injury troubles behind him and is playing at a high level this season with 26 points through 25 games. A […]

John Gant Works Into The Fifth Inning On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher John Gant got the start in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals. Gant tossed 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks, striking out three. Gant's spring ERA of 5.79 isn't anything to be excited about, but he seems ticketed for the starting rotation […]

Calle Jarnkrok Explodes For Four Points

Nashville Predators forward Calle Jarnkrok went off for four points in Monday's 4-1 victory over Tampa, posting a short-handed goal and three assists. Mattias Ekholm enjoyed a two-point game with one goal and one assist. Jarnkrok pushed his points tally for the year up to 13, boasting seven goals and six assists. The 29-year-old has […]
