Nick Markakis Tallies Four Hits On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 4-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Kendrys Morales was 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and a walk in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez went six innings, allowing three runs on six hits in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bays Rays. Sanchez walked two batters while striking out eight and picked up his fourth win of the season. It was a solid bounce-back performance from the 26-year-old, as he allowed a combined […]

A.J. Minter Takes Loss On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves closer A.J. Minter gave up a two-run homer to Brandon Phillips in the top of the ninth inning during Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Those would go on to be the winning runs and dropped Minter's record to 4-3 on the season. It was not a save opportunity, as Minter […]

Nick Markakis Drives In Two Runs On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Ronald Acuna Hits Another Leadoff Homer

Atlanta Braves phenom Ronald Acuna hit his eighth leadoff home run of the season on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. The homer set a new Braves franchise record for leadoff bombs in a season.

Latavius Murray Could Vulture Red-Zone Carries In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray could start the season as the goal-line back if the team tries to bring Dalvin Cook along slowly. Murray took over in the backfield last season after Cook went down, and he posted 842 yards with 8 TDs. While it seems likely that Cook will eventually take over the […]

Dalvin Cook Could See Easier Workload In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will get touches in Week 1, but the amount remains to be seen. Although Cook is fully recovered from the ACL injury he suffered last season, the Vikings may choose to limit Cook's workload for the first week or two. Cook is unquestionably the best running option on the […]

Kyle Rudolph Has TE1 Status For Week 1

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph could not have asked for a better situation.

Kirk Cousins Should Be Top-10 QB In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will be looking to prove himself in the Week 1 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.

Adam Thielen Offers Solid Upside In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will be lining up in the slot fairly frequently on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. This poses to be a great matchup for the 28-year-old, as the embattled K'Waun Williams will be the nickelback responsible for holding Thielen in check. Thielen is coming off a fantastic season that […]

Stefon Diggs Set To Start Season Strong In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs will be a fringe WR1 option for fantasy owners when he takes on the San Francisco 49ers this upcoming Sunday.

Dansby Swanson Available Off Of The Bench On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (head) is not in Wednesday's starting lineup, but Braves manager Brian Snitker said the 24-year-old will be available off of the bench if need be.

Freddie Freeman Gets Day Off On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is getting a breather on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. Lucas Duda will be getting the start at first and batting fifth against Red Sox starter Hector Velazquez. Freeman should return to the Braves lineup on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old has slowed a bit in […]

Xander Bogaerts Also Resting On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora is making no friends in the fantasy baseball community as shortstop Xander Bogaerts is also out of Wednesday's lineup.

J.D. Martinez Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez is getting a breather as he is sitting out Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. With the AL East practically wrapped up, Red Sox manager Alex Cora is doing his best to give his everyday players some rest before the playoffs begin. Martinez should be back in the lineup […]

Mookie Betts Resting On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts is getting a day off on Wednesday as the Red Sox seek to rest their star players prior to the playoffs. This is an unfortunate absence, as most fantasy leagues have started their playoff matchups already. No matter, Betts should continue to see regular playing time for the next […]

Lucas Giolito Gets Destroyed On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starter Lucas Giolito lasted just 1 1/3 innings during Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The 24-year-old was dinged up for five runs on four hits. He issued two walks and struck out three batters. This was an unfortunate result for Giolito, as he had pitched fantastic in his two previous […]

Nick Markakis Batting .175 Over Past 15 Games

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 1-for-3 during Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. To be fair, at least the 34-year-old had a hit, as he is carrying a paltry .175 average with zero home runs and three RBI through his past 15 games. Markakis, surprisingly enough, was one of the best hitters […]
