Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers - Top Waiver Wire Pickups and Starts for Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of the fantasy baseball season, covering April 1 through April 7. Some fantasy leagues might lump in the first half week of games with this week and call it "Week One" but for our intents and purposes, we are calling it Week 2, while still acknowledging that is indeed the first […]

Dylan Larkin Battles Through Knee Injury On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin injured his knee on Saturday against Florida but was able to complete the contest. With less than 30 seconds played in the game, Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry hit Larkin on the knee with a shot from the blue line. Larkin needed help to get off the ice. However, […]

Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Sunday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year continues to be bothered by a rib injury. But he looked just fine in Friday's much-needed win over the Denver Nuggets and finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks in 35 […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Against Brooklyn

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest in Brooklyn. A.D. isn't a stranger to the league's official injury report. But surprisingly, he hasn't missed much time this season. The Lakers have a slight edge over Golden State for the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference, so Davis could afford […]

Nikola Jokic Probable Against The Cavs

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist, hip) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the visiting Cavaliers. The multi-time MVP has been burdened by several ailments over the last week or two. However, it would be tough to tell, considering he amassed 32 points, 10 boards, five assists, two steals, and one block in 37 minutes […]

Francisco Alvarez Shines At Plate Saturday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez had a big day at the plate on Saturday, going 3-4 with a solo shot and recording two RBI with two runs in the Mets 7-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Alvarez provided the Mets only offense early with his solo homer coming in the second inning and hitting an RBI […]

Luis Campusano Out Of Lineup Saturday Night

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano is out of the starting lineup for Saturday night's game against the San Francisco Giants. Kyle Higashioka gets the start behind the plate instead of Campusano, hitting .333 (6 hits in 18 at-bats) with two RBI on the season thus far. Campusano was considered a fantasy sleeper this year and will likely be […]

Adam Fantilli May Not Play Again This Season

Columbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli may not return to the lineup again this season due to a calf laceration suffered in a Jan. 28 game against the Seattle Kraken. The third-overall pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft has recorded 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games this season, quality numbers for a […]

Tyler Stephenson Sitting On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson is taking a seat for Saturday's contest against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Stephenson went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 8-2 Opening Day win but will give way to veteran Luke Maile, who will hit eighth Saturday. The fact the 27-year-old is sitting against a lefty following […]

Alejandro Kirk Getting A Breather Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is getting the day off Saturday when the club takes on the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. The 25-year-old is going to receive significant playing time with fellow backstop Danny Jansen out with a wrist injury but he will give way to Brian Serven on Saturday after […]

Expert NBA DFS Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel (3/30/24)

We're back to getting these weird three-game slates on Saturdays in the NBA, but that's OK because there's still money to be made! Rostership gets much more concentrated on these slates, and while it's essential to find the under-owned players, it's even more critical to identify the chalk picks correctly. Giannis, Middleton, and the crew […]

Gabriel Vilardi Returns To Jets Lineup Saturday

Winnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi (spleen) will be back in the lineup on Saturday against Ottawa. He's missed the entire month so far, 15 games in total, with an enlarged spleen. Vilardi's inconsistency can be infuriating for fantasy managers, but he's had a good campaign in Winnipeg with 16 goals and 30 points posted in […]

Tage Thompson Racks Up Four Goals Versus Devils

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson erupted for four goals in Friday's 5-2 victory over New Jersey. With the Sabres two down, Thompson scored three straight goals and added an empty-netter in the final seconds to become the fourth active skater in the league with multiple four-goal games for his career. There had also previously been […]

Hitters Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1 - Fantasy Baseball After The Draft

With most fantasy baseball drafts in the books, it's time to review your initial waiver wire and make sure you aren't overlooking any bats. Leaving some roster spots at the end of your bench to churn early in the season can be critical to finding this year's waiver hero. For our purposes, we'll examine players […]

Mitch Garver Scratched On Friday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter/catcher Mitch Haniger was scratched from Friday's starting lineup, although a reason for the removal has not been released at this time. Dominic Canzone has been added to the lineup and will man left field while Mitch Haniger will slide into Garver's DH spot. Garver doubled in his four trips to the […]

Rudy Gobert Ready To Go Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) will play against Denver on Friday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as the French pivot continues to play through a left rib sprain. The injury hasn't really affected Gobert, who continues to be a walking double-double and an intimidating defensive presence under the rim. He will […]

Deandre Ayton Will Play In Friday’s Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) will take the court against the Miami Heat. He sat out of the previous four games due to left elbow tendinitis but will return to the starting lineup for Friday's contest. While there are no reports of any limitations to his playing time, Ayton can usually be counted […]

Jusuf Nurkic Returning To Lineup on Friday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is available to play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Suns will get their starting center back after he missed one game due to an ankle sprain. He will have an interesting matchup going against Thunder center Chet Holmgren. Fantasy managers will want to make sure […]

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (3/29/24)

The NBA brings a loaded 12-game schedule to the table Friday. DraftKings will include the first 10 games of the evening in their main slate, while FanDuel will include the first nine games in their main slate. The key to being successful in NBA DFS comes down to making adjustments during the day as injury […]

Sean Murphy Heading To Injured List

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (oblique) is heading to the injured list following Friday's victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Braves' manager Brian Snitker confirmed that Murphy will miss time due to a left oblique strain. This is a tough blow to both fantasy managers and to the Braves roster. The organization should give a timetable […]

Kevin Love Back For Miami Friday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will end a month-long absence on Friday against the Trail Blazers. The Heat big man injured his right heel in a game against Portland on Feb. 27 and has been out for 14 contests. Love's return is set to push Thomas Bryant out of the rotation, with Nikola Jovic […]

Danny Jansen Resumes Swinging

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) is making solid strides in his recovery process. On Friday, it was reported that Jansen had begun swinging a bat again. It's uncertain if it was dry swings or off a tee. Regardless, it's great to see Jansen back out there swinging again. He has been able to […]

Davis Bertans Cleared For Action Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Davis Bertans (nose) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's meeting with Golden State. He will make a 16th consecutive appearance for the struggling Hornets. Bertans had a strong start to the month, but his shot has abandoned him lately, and Bertans likely won't make a big impact off the […]

Anthony Davis Returns Against Indiana

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will return to the lineup on Friday against Indiana. He's ready to rock again after sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back versus Memphis on Wednesday. The Lakers also faced Indiana last week, and Davis went off for 36 points and 16 rebounds. It's a very favorable […]

Santi Aldama Battling An Illness, Doubtful For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (illness) is considered unlikely to play on Saturday against Orlando. He's feeling under the weather, and the team has listed Aldama as doubtful for the game. Brandon Clarke, who's just made his season debut, should get a chance to play a bigger role without Aldama. The young duo of Jake […]

Al Horford Removed From The Injury Report

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's clash with New Orleans. The veteran has been bothered by a toe sprain of late. While he's mostly played through the pain, he didn't suit up for Thursday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The C's got Jrue Holiday (shoulder) back […]

Sean Murphy Leaves Season Opener With Oblique Tightness

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (oblique) was pulled from Friday's season opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies with left-oblique tightness. Murphy grabbed his side after swinging and missing at a Matt Strahm pitch in the seventh inning and eventually walked off the field with a trainer. We should know more on Murphy's injury after the […]

Jeferson Quero Injured In Minor-League Game

Milwaukee Brewers No. 3 prospect Jeferson Quero (shoulder) was removed from Friday's game at Triple-A Nashville after he appeared to hurt his shoulder diving back to first base while being picked off. The severity of Quero's injury is unknown at this time, but it would be a really tough break for the Brewers and one […]
