With the Major League season fully underway, it's time for fantasy managers to take a little bit of inventory on their roster and see how their players have performed thus far and whether or not any action is needed. Injuries have been piling up, playing time is being ironed out, and players are inserting themselves […]

The Friday evening game between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday. Fantasy managers in DFS and in season-long leagues with daily lineups should act accordingly. The Mets have been one of the most unlucky teams in 2021 when […]

Myles Turner, Doug McDermott Questionable For Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players were unable to play on Wednesday, but have a decent chance of returning here. Jeremy Lamb would likely lose some streaming appeal with McDermott back in the rotation. Goga Bitadze has […]

Marc Gasol Hopeful To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been diagnosed with a fractured finger on his left hand. However, Gasol believes it won't be much of an issue because it is on his left hand, which he doesn't use as much. Andre Drummond […]

Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin picked up the helpers. Crosby now has 46 goals in 75 career games against Philly, which puts him third on the all-time list, behind Mario Lemieux […]

Colton Sissons Continues Good Run With Short-Handed Assist

Nashville Predators forward Colton Sissons registered a short-handed assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Carolina, extending his point streak to three games. Erik Haula scored the goal. Sissons is a fourth-liner for the Predators, but he's actually been one of the most productive players on the team this month, collecting seven points in eight games. […]

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside grabbed a double-double in Thursday's loss to Phoenix, finishing with 11 points and 10 rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench.

Tobias Harris, Dwight Howard Questionable For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) and center Dwight Howard (knee) are questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. Harris seems more likely to go than Howard, who missed the team's last contest. If the veteran big man can't play- Joel Embiid would see all the minutes he can handle- with Mike Scott perhaps backing […]

Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee To Be Rested Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (rest) won't play in Friday's game against the Thunder. Center Mason Plumlee (rest) and guard Wayne Ellington (rest) will also take a seat on the bench for the first half of a back-to-back as the 16-39 Pistons opt to throw in the towel for a game. Isaiah Stewart should see […]

Steven Stamkos Ruled Out For The Week

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (undisclosed) has been ruled out for this week. Head coach Jon Cooper hoped to get him back for Saturday's clash with Florida, but Stamkos sadly won't make it. Tampa's captain, who has been out since April 10, also won't play against the Panthers on Thursday. Alex Barre-Boulet filled Stamkos' […]

Nerlens Noel Expected To Play Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, which forced Taj Gibson into the starting five. However, Gibson played well, but won't have much fantasy value off the bench. Norvel Pelle saw minutes in the teens […]

Robert Williams III Might Sit Against Lakers

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played 26 minutes on Tuesday but appears to have tweaked his knee in the process. His absence would mean more playing time for Tristan Thompson. Luke Kornet could also get back into the rotation, but he […]

Welcome to the April 14th edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself.

Willy Adames, Mike Zunino Sitting On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames and catcher Mike Zunino will get days off on Thursday. Both Adames and Zunino are in the midst of slumps, having each gone hitless in their last seven trips to the plate. Joey Wendle will get the start at short with Francisco Mejia behind the plate. Wendle is heating […]

Pedro Severino Sitting For Second Game Of Doubleheader

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino will sit for the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mariners. Severino went 1-for-3 with a base hit in the afternoon game, snapping a four game-streak without a hit. Chance Sisco will assume the catching duties and bat ninth against right-hander Justin Dunn.

Martin Maldonado Placed On COVID-19 List

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado joined four other Astros players on the injured list due to health and safety protocols on Wednesday. The hope is this move is out of an abundance of caution and Maldonado, in theory, could return to the field beginning Friday. The timing of this really stings after signing a one-year […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/15/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

"So, did anything interesting happen in baseball last night?", Tom asked imperfectly. Tom Swifty jokes aside, I still late can't believe a perfect game was broken up by an HBP just before the finish line. Still, a no-hitter is pretty impressive either way. I will say upfront that I am not expecting anything that infrequent […]
