Stefon Diggs Poised For Big Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is in line for a heavy workload heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Diggs has seen double-digit targets over the past three weeks and is taking on an Eagles team that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wideouts so far this season. Likewise, the […]

Antti Suomela Centering Sharks Third Line

San Jose Sharks rookie centerman Antti Suomela is expected to start the season on the third line flanked by Joonas Donskoi and Evander Kane. This is a massive boon for Suomela's fantasy value, as both of his wingers have offensive upside. Suomela tallied 60 points in 59 games last season in the Finnish Elite League […]

Michal Neuvirth Expected To Miss Two Games

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth (lower body) is expected to miss the first two games of the season. Brian Elliott will man the net in his absence, although if the injury persists, the Flyers claimed Calvin Pickard off of waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Neuvirth posted a 9-7-3 record with a .915 […]

Michael Rasmussen Starting Season On Second Line

Detroit Red Wings rookie center Michael Rasmussen has made the Red Wings opening day roster. The ninth overall pick from 2017 was impressive throughout training camp and preseason. Rasmussen is expected to start the season on the second line with Tyler Bertuzzi and Frans Nielsen. He should also start the season on the first powerplay […]

Niklas Kronwall Will Not Dress For Season Opener

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kronwall reportedly tweaked something during a preseason game, but the injury remains unknown. This should not have much of an impact on fantasy teams as the veteran rearguard has entered the twilight of his career. He […]

Jonathan Ericsson Out For Season Opener

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson (upper body) will not play in the Red Wings season opener on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ericsson suffered the injury during a preseason contest, and his timetable for return is currently unknown. While this leaves a hole on the Red Wings blueline, it should not leave a […]

Mike Green To Miss At Least One Month

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Mike Green (virus) is expected to miss at least one month, per head coach Jeff Blashill. The veteran rearguard was the Red Wings most utilized defenseman last season but still sorely lacks fantasy value. He tallied 33 points, 38 penalty minutes, and a -14 rating through 66 games last season. In […]

Kyle Rudolph Average In Week 4 Loss

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught five of his six targets for 57 yards on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Rudolph has been a decent TE option to start the year, but he will always struggle to find a ton of targets behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Regardless, he has 188 […]

Dalvin Cook Held In Check In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook only mustered 20 rushing yards on 10 carries in a Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Vikings said that Cook was on a pitch count after coming back from a hamstring injury which is why he did not see a single carry in the second half. […]

Stefon Diggs Bounces Back In A Big Way

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had one of the worst performances of his career in Week 3, but he answered back on Thursday night. Diggs snagged 11 of his 15 targets for 123 yards. He was unable to find the end zone but still managed to put up a serviceable point total for fantasy […]

Adam Thielen Turns In Another Amazing Performance

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen hauled in eight of his 12 targets on Thursday night for 135 yards and a touchdown. Thielen has gone over 100 receiving yards in every game this season. His 473 yards through four games are the most in Vikings' franchise history. Thielen is a model of consistency and seems […]

Filip Zadina Nets Overtime Tally On Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings rookie forward Filip Zadina pocketed the game-winning goal in overtime during a 3-2 preseason win over the Boston Bruins.

Sean Newcomb Strong In No-Decision

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb tossed five scoreless innings in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the New York Mets. Newcomb allowed one hit and four walks while striking out eight. He has a 12-9 record on the season to go along with a 3.91 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 160/80 K/BB ratio. He has been hard to […]

Ken Giles Remains Perfect During Save Opportunities In 2018

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles exacted some revenge on his old team on Wednesday. Giles only needed five pitches to close out a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros. While the right-hander has an unsightly 4.74 ERA on the season, the majority of that damage has come when Giles enters the game in a […]

Randal Grichuk Up To 25 Homers On The Season

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk was 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Houston Astros. Grichuk was incredibly awful to start the season but has managed to improve in the power department during the waning months of 2018. Grichuk has a .244 average to go along with 25 homers, 57 […]

Chris Sale Strikes Out Eight On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale allowed three runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings of work during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader. Sale's velocity was down in this appearance, but he said that it was all due to mechanics. He struck out eight batters while walking one. It has been a frustrating […]

Craig Kimbrel Allows Four Run In Non-Save Situation

Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel entered the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader down 6-3 in the ninth inning. He only recorded a single out while allowing four runs. His control was wild as he issued three walks. The outing ballooned his 2.21 ERA all the way up to 2.79. Regardless, it has still been […]

David Price Average In Wednesday's Win

Boston Red Sox starter David Price allowed three runs on six hits in five innings of work during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader. He walked three batters while striking out six.

Mookie Betts Reaches 30/30 Club

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was 2-for-2 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.

Rafael Devers Dominant In Wednesday's Doubleheader

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was 5-for-8 with six RBI, two home runs, three runs scored, and one walk during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.

Breakout NHL Defensemen You Have To Own In 2018-19

On fantasy hockey draft day, forwards are generally the belle of the ball. While getting top-end forward talent is always a good plan to start the draft, a solid stable of blueliners is integral to championship aspirations. Last season, Vladimir Tarasenko was a top 15 pick in a majority of fantasy drafts. Likewise, John Carlson […]

Seth Jones Expected To Miss Four To Six Weeks

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones (knee) is expected to be out four to six weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in a preseason game on Tuesday.

Ronald Acuna Drives In Two Runs On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves star rookie Ronald Acuna was 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the New York Mets.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies was 1-for-4 with a two-run blast in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the New York Mets.

Latavius Murray Should Be Avoided In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray burned a vast amount of fantasy owners in Week 3 after his one-yard clunker against the Buffalo Bills. In Week 4, he still might be the lead back if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) does not play, but he has a far tougher matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams […]

Dalvin Cook A Risky RB Option In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will likely be limited in Week 4 even if he does play. A porous offensive line going up against the likes of Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, and Michael Brockers is also a terrifying proposition for a running back. Cook is still considered questionable for Thursday's outing, and will […]

Stefon Diggs A Top-20 WR Option For Week 4

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had one of the most forgettable performances of his young career in Week 3. For somebody as competitive as Diggs, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a monster outing. The Los Angeles Rams have lost starting corner Aqib Talib (ankle) for at least a […]
