2022 Fantasy Breakout Candidates - NL East

One of the keys to a successful fantasy baseball draft, and a subsequently successful season, is finding players who outperform their draft position. By and large, you’re more likely to find those types of players later in drafts. Sure, you’ll find those relatively early-round players who perform at an elite level – think Max Muncy or […]

Jared McCann Makes Most Of His One Shot Wednesday

Seattle Kraken center Jared McCann has seen his role reduced some given Dave Hakstol's reliance on Yanni Gourde. Despite that, McCann keeps on producing. His goal on Wednesday tied the game and gave the forward 12 points in 14 games with eight goals. Will McCann keep shooting at a league-leading 30.8% (minimum 25 shots)? That […]

Marcus Johansson Scores Late Game-Winner Wednesday

Twins Release Willians Astudillo

Utility man Willians Astudillo is now a free agent after clearing release waivers, according to a tweet from Dustin Morse, of the Twins' Communications department.

Anaheim Ducks center Adam Henrique suffered an upper-body injury during the second period of a 3-2 loss in Nashville on Monday night.

Zach Collins Returns To Practice Activities

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) has recently ramped up his basketball activities as a return to game action is on the horizon. Collins is set to miss at least one more month after a pair of surgeries to help repair a stress fracture in his left foot. Having inked a highly protected […]

Richaun Holmes Is Questionable On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) is questionable against Portland. The 28-year-old was poked in the right eye during Monday's loss to Philadelphia and is now dealing with a contusion. Nonetheless, fantasy managers likely won't know Holmes' status until closer to tip-off. However, if he can't go, Chimezie Metu, Tristan Thompson, and even Marvin Bagley […]

Luka Garza Draws Second Straight Start Wednesday

Detroit Pistons center Luka Garza will start Wednesday's contest against Milwaukee, his second consecutive outing among the starting five while Isaiah Stewart serves his two-game suspension. Garza's presence with the first unit is unlikely to last beyond Wednesday, but he still holds sizable DFS appeal due to his low price tag. In just 17 minutes […]

Nikola Vucevic Will Play Against Houston

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic will play on Wednesday in Houston. The 31-year-old big man missed his previous seven games while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19, which allowed Tony Bradley to benefit to some degree. Nonetheless, there is a chance Vucevic won't see his usual allotment of minutes, so those […]

Precious Achiuwa, Yuta Watanabe Will Suit Up Wednesday

Toronto Raptors center Precious Achiuwa (shoulder) and shooting guard/power forward Yuta Watanabe (calf) have been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against Memphis.

OG Anunoby, Khem Birch Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby (hip) and center Khem Birch (knee) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies.

Morgan Frost Skates On Second Line In His Season Debut

Philadelphia Flyers center Morgan Frost will make his season debut on the second line in Wednesday's matchup against the Panthers.

Robert Williams III, Josh Richardson Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) and shooting guard Josh Richardson (illness) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn due to non-COVID-19 illnesses. The positive for Williams is that his knee is not the root of his absence, an indicator that a return to action likely won't be far off. Williams […]

Anthony Davis Downgraded, Unlikely To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful and is unlikely to suit up against Indiana. The veteran is currently dealing with Flu-like symptoms, although it isn't COVID-related, which is certainly good news for the team. Fortunately, LeBron James (abdomen, suspension) is available after not playing on Tuesday against the Knicks […]
