Draft Pick Quinton Patton Agrees To Deal With San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers draft pick Quinton Patton has agreed to a four-year deal with the organization Wednesday and will have a tough road ahead to prove himself worthy of playing time on the formidable 49ers defense.

Prospect Profile: Jurickson Profar | INF | TEX
As a rule, we fantasy owners love to own prospects before our fellow owners. There’s little as rewarding as grabbing a minor leaguer before he becomes a household name and then watching as he develops into a stud. But how do you sort the big-timers from part-timers? Prospect Profile is here to help. This week we examine Rangers uber-prospect, Jurickson Profar.Player Name: Jurickson...
Daily FanDuel Picks: May 22, 2013
About two weeks ago a conversation was going in the comments section of one of these Daily FanDuel Picks posts. At the time I was running hot, winning eight in a row and pushing my ROI well into the black. A commenter asked me why I continued to play the $10 games instead of increasing my buy-in to $20. I explained that sooner or later my luck would end and I’d hit an equally cold...

Green Bay Packers Trying Mike Neal at Outside Linebacker
If there is one thing Mike Neal has proven he can do for the Green Bay Packers defense, it’s rush the passer. Now, the Packers may be trying to maximize that ability because on the first day of organized team activities, the fourth-year defender from Purdue was moved from his customary defensive end position to outside linebacker.
Remembering that it is only OTA’s — the move...
Arizona Cardinals: Bruce Arians Likes What He Sees in Carson Palmer
The chemistry between a head coach and quarterback is very important in the NFL. As we all know, the Arizona Cardinals have a new head coach in Bruce Arians and a new starting quarterback in veteran Carson Palmer.
Now that the first week of OTAs have been completed, things seem to be going quite well so far as Palmer digests Arians’ offense and Arians watches Palmer gets used to...
Fantasy Stock Watch: Edwin Jackson, Patrick Corbin
Bullish: Edwin JacksonEdwin Jackson is currently sporting a 1-6 record with a 5.76 ERA. Those aren’t numbers that are useful in fantasy baseball. Chances are Edwin was cut or can be had for a very small price in your fantasy league. I’ve never been a huge Jackson fan but he is definitely not as bad as he looks right now and could help your team going forward. He has been allowing...

Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: May 22nd, 2013
I still remember the first time I went to Las Vegas just like it was yesterday. I had pretty good success at playing video poker and I did decently at the blackjack tables. My undoing ended up being a new game called “Let it Ride.” My young and foolish heart saw the big winnings I could get with one really good hand. My mind had yet to catch up. The problem is the long odds made...

Highly Regarded RB Miguel Maysonet Joins Cleveland
The highly thought of undrafted rookie RB, Miguel Maysonet, joins the Cleveland Browns and an extremely crowded cast of running backs. Currently the Browns have Trent Richardson, Montario Hardesty, Brandon Jackson, Chris Ogbonnaya, Dion Lewis and Owen Marecic.
What we learned after Maysonet was waived by the Eagles just a few days ago was that the front office and head coach Chip...
Seattle Seahawks Waive QB Josh Portis
Sometimes in the NFL, you can get a pass, but that’s only if you are a star or a player with tremendous upside. Josh Portis has neither of those things. After getting pulled over under suspicion of being drunk while driving, the Seahawks have decided to part ways with the 2011 undrafted free agent out of California (PA).
This move likely solidifies that Brady Quinn is entrenched...
