KhaDarel Hodge Won't Practice Thursday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) and cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) will remain out of practice on Thursday. Stefanski is hopeful that Ward can play on Monday night against the Ravens and "wouldn't call it a long shot." Hodge is on the wrong track to start the week […]

Dan Arnold Is A Risky Starting Option In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals tight end Dan Arnold had a surprising breakout performance in Week 13, catching two passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns. It was only the second time this year that Arnold had compiled over 50 receiving yards in a game. He also only had one touchdown all year prior to last week. The […]

Daniel Jones Looks Good During Workout

New York Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said that quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) "looked good" after a workout following the team's walk-through on Wednesday. However, head coach Joe Judge said there are "a lot of things we still have to see" before the team makes a final determination on whether Jones can play in Week […]

Larry Fitzgerald Not A Starting Option In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been activated from the COVID-19 list and is likely to make his return to the field against the New York Giants in Week 14 after a two-game absence. While Fitzgerald has been gone, the Cardinals passing game has been extremely cold. Fitzgerald should help give quarterback Kyler Murray a […]

Try To Avoid Christian Kirk In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk had a complete dud of a performance against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13, catching just one of his three targets for two yards. He hasn't had a strong fantasy performance since Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins, when he caught five passes for 123 yards and a […]

DeAndre Hopkins Is A No-Doubt WR1 In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is in the midst of a rough stretch. He's failed to reach 60 yards in any of his past three games and has just one score over his past three. This week, the Cardinals face the New York Giants, who have an elite run defense, but have been only […]

Chase Edmonds Can't Be Started In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has done a solid job of being efficient with his touches most of the year. Unfortunately, he just hasn't received enough of them. He's averaging a stellar 4.9 yards per carry on the year as well as 7.8 yards per reception. However, he managed just 43 yards over his […]

Twins Continue To Talk With Nelson Cruz

The Minnesota Twins continue to talk with designated hitter Nelson Cruz about a reunion. Major League Baseball sent out a memo this week that they don't plan to use the DH in the National League again in 2021, which will drastically shorten Cruz's list of suitors. The veteran slugger hit .308/.394/.626 with 57 home runs […]

Kenyan Drake Is A Low-End RB2 In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake hasn't been racking up significant yardage lately, or all season really, but he's scored four touchdowns over his past three games. This week, the Cardinals face the New York Giants, who have one of the league's best run defenses, allowing only 96.7 rushing yards per game. Drake should see […]

Start Kyler Murray As A QB1 In Week 14

It's been a rough stretch for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. He has just 61 total rushing yards over his past three games and has failed to reach 200 passing yards in two straight. This week, Murray and the Cardinals face the New York Giants, who have a solid run defense, but are only average […]

Jon Lester Not On Red Sox's Radar

Free-agent starting pitcher Jon Lester said he'd be open to a return to the Boston Red Sox in early May, but at the moment it doesn't look like the Red Sox are interested in that scenario becoming a reality, according to a major league source. Lester became a free agent when the Cubs didn't pick […]

Sung-Bum Na Posted By Korean Team

Outfielder Sung-Bum Na was officially posted by the NC Dinos of the Korean League on Wednesday. Na was a six-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner and was a lifetime .317/.384/.542 hitter in his eight seasons in Korea. He suffered a season-ending knee injury that held him to just 23 games in 2019, so he waited […]

Trevor Bauer An Obvious Option For Angels

People are convinced that the Los Angeles Angels are determined to add a top-of-the-rotation starter this winter, and National League Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer is the obvious option. Bauer is from Los Angeles and played his college ball at UCLA, so he might relish the opportunity to come back home. The Halos' top trade […]

Angels In The Mix For James McCann

The Los Angeles Angels remain in the mix for free-agent catcher James McCann, according to sources. They have been in on him from the beginning, and McCann has ties to Southern California, as he was born in Santa Barbara and went to high school in California. But the Mets have been seriously engaged in talks […]

Cam Newton Will Play Thursday Night

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen), who is officially questionable for Thursday night against the Rams, is fine and will start. Newton was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, but he was never in any real danger of missing this week's game. The former MVP had the same practice routine last week before […]

Denzel Mims Ruled Out For Sunday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase ruled rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims out for Week 14 against the Seahawks. Mims left the team and is in Texas dealing with a family emergency. Even if he's able to return in time for the game on Sunday, he won't be eligible in time because of the […]

Kevin Porter Jr. (SG/SF, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 130 Overall CURRENT ADP: 155 ANALYSIS:  This pick is all about projection and upside. Porter Jr. averaged 23.2 minutes per game last year, mostly off the bench. He averaged 10 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.6 percent inside the arc. He needs to improve on a […]

RJ Barrett (SG/SF, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 116 Overall CURRENT ADP: 146 ANALYSIS: I'm still not sold on Barrett. His efficiency has to improve. He needs to turn the ball over less. But as a rookie, Barrett averaged 14.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, so if his efficiency does improve and he shoots better than his 40.2/32/61.4 […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 256: Figueiredo vs. Moreno (Premium Content)

Rough week for the UFC this one, leading up to the last numbered event of the year for Dana White's promotion. Why? Well, there are always delays and re-scheduled fights due to injuries and such things, but in the span of mere hours last Tuesday the promo lost three fights due to COVID reasons. Ugh. At […]

Jordan Clarkson (PG/SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 120 Overall CURRENT ADP: 141 ANALYSIS: Traded to Utah during the season, Clarkson played 42 games with the Jazz, averaging 24.7 minutes, mostly off the bench. He averaged 15.6 points per game with the team, and the only thing that he really lost from what he provided in Cleveland to start […]

PJ Washington (SF/PF, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 114 Overall CURRENT ADP: 132 ANALYSIS: Washington started 57 of his 58 games last year, averaging 12.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting 37.4 percent from three on four attempts per game. Basketball Reference estimates he played around 85 percent of his minutes […]

Aaron Gordon (SF/PF, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 60 Overall CURRENT ADP: 80 ANALYSIS: The Magic haven't changed their roster even a tiny bit this season, and it is not entirely clear if they will try to step up and keep trying for that postseason spot and run, or if they'll deem their current roster (Gordon, Vucevic, Fournier, Bamba...) […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Saturday (12/19/20) - Monkey Knife Fight

Late in the NFL season means we get two Saturday afternoon football games in the National Football League. That also means more chances to play props and win with Monkey Knife Fight. The AFC East leaders, the Buffalo Bills, take a 10-3 record into Denver, having won six of the past seven games. They look […]

Bojan Bogdanovic (SF/PF, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 78 Overall CURRENT ADP: 115 ANALYSIS: Of the two Bogdanovics part of the NBA, this one has been much less talked-about than his pal Bogdan as of late. Normal, considering one was part of a botched, tampering-related trade and the other one comes off a serious injury and surgery. Does that […]

Derrick Rose (PG/SG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall CURRENT ADP: 140 ANALYSIS: A lot of folks were surprised by Rose's exploits last season playing in Detroit. Well, the writing was on the wall since his last season in Minnesota when he already 51 games starting 13 of them and putting up very similar averages to those he […]

Cole Anthony Should Have A Role Right Away

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony is expected to be part of the rotation right away, according to head coach Steve Clifford. It sounds like the rookie guard has impressed enough to earn a role from the season opener. He'll be stuck behind Markelle Fultz, so Anthony isn't expected to earn quality minutes. He is still […]

Ricky Rubio (PG, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 60 Overall CURRENT ADP: 78 ANALYSIS: Talk about closing the circle. After getting drafted by Minny all the way back in 2009, playing his first NBA game with the Wolves two years later, and spending the last three years splitting time between Utah and Phoenix, Ricky (perhaps Rick now?) Rubio is […]

Mavericks Planning To Release J.J. Barea

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea is expected to be released by the organization on Thursday. The 36-year-old guard returned from a torn Achilles last season. He averaged 7.7 points through 29 games with Dallas. It doesn't sound like he was going to have a significant role on this team anyway. The Mavs are expected to […]

Al Horford (PF/C, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 80 Overall CURRENT ADP: 97 ANALYSIS: In a more-than-complicated trade, the Sixers finally got rid of Al Horford this offseason, sending him packing to Oklahoma. The Thunder also traded Steven Adams away, so Horford profiles as the starting center for OKC in 2021. Is Horford a league-winning player these days? Not […]

N'Keal Harry Has Avoidable Matchup In Week 14

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry is going to be a tough player to trust for the Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This is a secondary that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Harry has five total targets and 15 receiving yards over his last two […]
