Broncos Add Another Pass-Catcher With Albert Okwuegbunam

The Denver Broncos used the 118th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to add yet another pass-catcher for quarterback Drew Lock. Missouri tight end Albert Okwuegbunam will join a Broncos draft class that already includes wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler, who were their first and second picks, respectively. At 6-foot-6, Okwuegbunam is a […]

Vikings Draft D.J. Wonnum In Fourth Round

The Minnesota Vikings used their fourth-round selection (117th overall) on South Carolina edge rusher D.J. Wonnum. The former high school tight end is a tall, fast pass rusher who plays with maximum effort on every play. According to scouts, he needs work in the run game, as he has a tendency to get washed out […]

Chiefs Add To Their Offensive Line With Lucas Niang

The Kansas City Chiefs selected TCU offensive tackle Lucas Niang with the 96th overall pick in the NFL Draft on Friday night. Niang is a large man at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, and he will provide solid depth on the line with a chance to carve out a starting role. Despite his size, scouts have […]

Broncos Draft McTelvin Agim In Third Round

The Denver Broncos drafted Arkansas defensive lineman McTelvin Agim with the 95th overall pick in Friday's NFL Draft. Agim is a pass-rushing specialist with long arms and a diverse set of moves to beat offensive tackles. He needs work in the running game, but could carve out a role on passing downs as most teams […]

Packers Draft Tight End Josiah Deguara

The Green Bay Packers finally addressed their pass-catchers by drafting Cincinnati tight end Josiah Deguara in the third round at pick No. 94 overall. The Packers needed more skill players for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and they addressed that need with a 6-foot-2 tight end. Deguara is a red-zone threat, as he had 12 total touchdowns over […]

Titans Draft Speedy Running Back Darrynton Evans

The Tennessee Titans used their third-round pick (93rd overall) on Appalachian State running back Darrynton Evans. Evans is fast -- he ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the combine -- and should complement power-back Derrick Henry nicely in Tennessee's run-first offensive attack. Evans is a one-cut running back with solid explosiveness and excellent vision to […]

Cardinals Add To Offensive Line With Josh Jones

The Arizona Cardinals drafted Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones with the 72nd overall pick in the NFL Draft. This is a huge steal for Arizona here, as some mock drafts had the Houston tackle going in the back end of the first round. At 6-foot-5 and 319 pounds, Jones is a big body, but he […]

Ravens Bolster Defensive Line With Justin Madubuike

The Baltimore Ravens used the 71st pick in the NFL Draft to add to their already strong defensive line by picking Texas A&M defensive tackle Justin Madubuike. He is a high-motor player who should add to a Ravens defensive front that already allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards last season. At 6-foot-3, 293 pounds, he is […]

Dolphins Draft Defensive Back Brandon Jones

The Miami Dolphins used the 70th overall pick in the NFL Draft on safety Brandon Jones out of Texas. This is a bit of a surprise, as Jones is a smaller player and is a bit of a hybrid between safety and corner. His speed makes him stronger in coverage, but his run-support skills could […]

Lions Use Third-Round Pick On Julian Okwara

The Detroit Lions addressed their pass rush in the third round of the draft by selecting edge rusher Julian Okwara out of Notre Dame. Okwara will join his older brother, Romeo, in Detroit. Okwara is a powerful edge rusher with a strong bull rush that helped him accrue eight sacks in his junior season. He'll […]

Redskins Add Playmaker Antonio Gibson

The Washington Redskins used the 66th overall pick in the NFL Draft on Memphis running back Antonio Gibson. While he's classified as a running back, Gibson has also played wide receiver and adds explosiveness to a Washington offense that needs playmakers. Gibson has good speed for a runner of his size and should fill the […]

Marlon Davidson Heading To Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons used the 47th overall pick in the second round on Auburn defensive lineman Marlon Davidson. Davidson played defensive end in college, but at 303 pounds he'll slide to defensive tackle in the NFL. Davidson is a powerful player who should immediately help a Falcons defensive unit that has struggled against the run. […]

Broncos Double Up At WR, Select K.J. Hamler

The Denver Broncos used their second-round pick on Penn State wide receiver K.J. Hamler at pick No. 46. This is an interesting pick, as the Broncos used their first-round pick on Jerry Jeudy, so they have clearly made it a priority to add weapons for quarterback Drew Lock. At 5-foot-9, Hamler doesn't boast elite size, […]

Antoine Winfield Jr. Selected By Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers addressed their defense in the second round, drafting safety Antoine Winfield Jr. out of Minnesota with the 45th overall pick. Winfield is a prototypical center fielder playing safety with strong ball-skills based on his seven interceptions last season. As good as he is in coverage, scouts have also complimented his tackling […]

Browns Use 44th Pick On Grant Delpit

The Cleveland Browns have selected LSU safety Grant Delpit to boost their secondary with the No. 44 pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Cleveland needed help in the defensive backfield, and Delpit will certainly help in that regard. Delpit had a first-round grade according to some scouts, so this is good […]

Bears Draft Cole Kmet

The Chicago Bears used the 43rd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on tight end Cole Kmet out of Notre Dame. Kmet adds to a crowded tight end room in Chicago which includes the newly signed Jimmy Graham. Standing at 6-foot-6, Kmet will be a huge target for Mitchell Trubisky, but may find it hard […]

Jose Bautista Not Expecting To Come Back As Pitcher

Retired outfielder Jose Bautista quieted rumors about him coming back as a pitcher in an interview with Sirius MLB Network Radio. Earlier in the week, it was reported that Bautista was working out with Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman with intentions of coming back as a two-way player. While it is unlikely to see Bautista on […]

Giants Unlikely To Trade Down

The New York Giants are unlikely to trade out of the No. 4 spot in Thursday's NFL Draft. General manager Dave Gettleman has been listening to offers, as quarterback-needy teams may be interested in trading up to get in front of Miami at No. 5, but it is being reported that the Giants will stay […]

Trent Williams Could Be On The Move

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams could be traded before the NFL Draft this weekend, according to Ian Rapoport. The seven-time Pro Bowler has been looking for a new contract, but has been unable to come to terms with Washington. With the draft rapidly approaching, the Redskins would need to get a deal done quickly […]

A.J. Puk Says Shoulder Is Feeling Better

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher A.J. Puk (shoulder) has been playing catch from 120 feet as he recovers from a shoulder injury sustained during Spring Training. Puk only threw 36 2/3 innings last season, and didn't pitch in 2018 due to Tommy John surgery, so he is a player that stands to gain fantasy value due […]

Jesus Luzardo Throwing Through MLB Shutdown

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo has been working out with fellow starter Mike Fiers and a trainer in Florida while the season is delayed. Luzardo said they have been working out in an open field to play catch, and they have a portable mound to throw bullpen sessions. As if Luzardo didn't come with […]

Andrew McCutchen Will Be Ready When Baseball Resumes

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) confirmed he will be ready to play when MLB can resume after the season was delayed due to the coronavirus. The veteran outfielder has been out since last June with a torn ACL and would have missed the start of the regular season if it started on March 26. McCutchen […]

Doctors Recommend Surgery For Seranthony Dominguez

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (elbow) has been recommended to have Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing righty originally hurt his elbow last June, but was able to recover without surgery despite missing the remainder of 2019. Dominguez only pitched one inning of Spring Training this year before reporting tightness in his elbow and being […]

A.J. Puk Could Open Season In Rotation

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher A.J. Puk (shoulder) could open the season in the starting rotation with the league year delayed due to the coronavirus. The 24-year-old lefty was expected to be a starter coming into the season, but a shoulder injury in Spring Training changed those plans. Puk only threw 36 2/3 innings last season […]

Spencer Howard Could Play Bigger Role

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Spencer Howard could play a bigger role for the team in a shortened season. Before the season was suspended due to the coronavirus, Phillies general manager Matt Klentak said the team wants Howard to throw meaningful innings late in the season. As a result, Howard's spring schedule was different than most […]

Finding Late-Round Value for Batting Average

Batting average can be the most difficult of the standard rotisserie categories to manage. Sure, stolen bases are scarcer, and home runs require a higher total to be competitive, but batting average is a different beast. Unlike counting stats, you can never get to a certain projected total and call it quits on targeting that […]

J.T. Realmuto Contract Negotiations On Hold

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto and the team have tabled contract extension talks amid the coronavirus shutdown in MLB. The Phillies won their arbitration case against the All-Star catcher, who will make $10 million this season. The Phillies, however, have made it known they want to lock up Realmuto long term ahead of his impending […]

Jake Arrieta Leaves Start With Shoulder Stiffness

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jake Arrieta experienced shoulder stiffness in his Spring Training start vs the Rays Thursday. Arrieta said it is not an injury, and that he isn't concerned. Arrieta will have plenty of time to rest up with MLB suspending Spring Training amid coronavirus fears, but he won't be a very attractive fantasy […]

Aaron Nola Throws Bullpen

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola threw a 35-40-pitch bullpen session Thursday morning and feels fine after battling an illness the past few days. Nola said he expected to start another Grapefruit League game before camp ends, but that is now up in the air with spring training suspended. Nola has thrown 200-plus innings each […]

Adam Haseley Struggling This Spring

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley is struggling so far this spring as he competes for the starting center field job. The second-year outfielder is just 3-for-21 with nine strikeouts and manager Joe Girardi was non-committal on Haseley winning the job, which Haseley was considered the favorite for entering camp. Haseley's struggles have opened the door […]
