Article arrow_drop_down

It’s time for the 150th Preakness Stakes, the middle jewel of the Triple Crown. The 2025 Kentucky Derby winner, Sovereignty, will not be racing in the Preakness Stakes this weekend, squashing any dreams of a Triple Crown winner in 2025. The last time a horse won the Triple Crown was 2018. With Sovereignty out, Journalism, the original favorite to win the Derby, will have a shot at redemption.

The 150th Preakness Stakes will be the final event held at Pimlico Race Course before the facility is demolished as part of a redevelopment project. It is set to reopen in 2027. Next year’s Preakness will relocate to the nearby Laurel Park.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Jake Burger is back on the menu

If you have fantasy baseball needs, we have solutions to fit any budget. Here’s a fresh batch of potential pickups, each of them available in well over 50% of Yahoo leagues and approved for use…Jake Burger, 1B/3B, Texas Rangers (43% rostered)Texas actually sent Burger down to Triple-A for recalibration earlier this month — a reminder that he was no longer with the White Sox or Marlins, but instead with a team that requires consistent production. Burger proceeded to go 9-for-23 with a pair of homers at Round Rock, earning back his spot in the majors. Recent big league results have been plenty encouraging:We shouldn't need to tell you that Burger has 30-homer potential, because he's cleared the fence 63 times over the past two seasons. He's obviously not gonna run and his batting average will only be tolerable, not helpful. […]

2025 Fantasy Football Tight End Projections: Bouncebacks for Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta, and Mark Andrews?

USATSI The tight end position, in the projections below, looks a lot like the tight end position we've all come to know and... well, not love. Nine tight ends are projected to average 10 Fantasy points per game. A full dozen are projected to score between 8.3 and 9.9 FPPG. It doesn't look great. But there are ways that could change.The most obvious is if the rookies surprise. Neither Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren are projected to top 10 FPPG in Year 1. While we have had some exceptions lately with Sam LaPorta and Brock Bowers, the rule is still that tight ends generally take some time to become must-start options. I will still rank and draft Loveland as a top-12 option because of his talent and upside, but I am more cautious with Warren due to his quarterback situation.The […]
