The NHL’s department of player safety has handed Nazem Kadri a three-game suspension for his boarding of Boston Bruins Tommy Wingels in Game 1.

Travis d’Arnaud To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

On Thursday, New York Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud (elbow) was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL.

Mets and Marlins Have Talked J.T. Realmuto

Given the injuries to catchers Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki, this isn’t surprising news, but the 10-1 New York Mets have spoken to the rebuilding Miami Marlins about catcher J.T. Realmuto.

David Krejci Deals Damage With Man Advantage

The Boston Bruins second power-play unit converted twice in Game 1 on Thursday, due much in part to the play of center David Krejci.

James McCann's Sluggish Start Continues

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann has had a tough go of things so far this season. The defense-first catcher has never been a huge fantasy asset outside of deep AL-only leagues, but his career .244 average and two straight seasons of double-digit home run totals were still serviceable. That hasn't been the case for McCann […]

Myles Turner's First-Round DFS Preview

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner is a guy you'll want to keep away from your DFS team during the first-round tilt with Cleveland.

Week 3 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week.

Kevin Love's First-Round DFS Preview

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love should enjoy this year's postseason a lot more than his previous three runs with the team.

Anthony Davis' First-Round DFS Preview
