The Giants are working out quarterback Matt McGloin on Tuesday
Byron Maxwell Jersey , Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.
The Chiefs cut McGloin, keeping Chad Henne as the only backup to Patrick Mahomes.
The Giants waived Davis Webb, keeping Alex Tanney and rookie Kyle Lauletta as Eli Manning‘s backups. But coach Pat Shurmur admits he prefers a veteran quarterback. He had Case Keenum and Teddy Bridgewater as backups to Sam Bradford last year, and everyone knows how that story played out for the Vikings.
鈥淗ere鈥檚 the thing with a veteran backup quarterback,鈥?Shurmur said, via Michael Eisen of the team website. 鈥淭hey can go in and function with very few reps. I think that鈥檚 an attribute that I look for in a guy that could potentially be a backup to a guy like Eli, because they don鈥檛 get that many reps during the training sessions.鈥?/p>
McGloin, 28, has played 13 games with seven starts in his career. He has spent time with the Raiders, Eagles and Texans as well as the Chiefs.
PLAYERS TO PICK UP
MIKE SOROKA (SP, Atlanta Braves
Laken Tomlinson Jersey , 38 percent owned in Yahoo) – Soroka returned from the disabled list Wednesday, and despite being on a pitch limit, he made the most of his return to the mound against the Mets. He allowed just one hit and one walk in 6.1 innings, while striking out four batters. He won’t ever be a huge strikeout pitcher, but he should be owned in the majority of leagues as a fourth starter.
WILLY ADAMES (SS, Tampa Bay Rays, 11 percent) – Adames will get every chance to earn the everyday shortstop role for the Rays. He has the upside to contribute across the board, and he should be owned in 12-team leagues with a middle infielder.
MIGUEL SANO (3B, Minnesota Twins, 81 percent) – Sano is owned widely but might be at his low as a fantasy asset. The Twins shocked the baseball world by sending him to Triple-A on Thursday, as he’s struggled to get it going after his 2017 All-Star season. If you have the patience and the room
Nick Easton Jersey , now’s the time to buy low on Sano, who has out-of-this-world potential.
TOM MURPHY (C, Colorado Rockies, 1 percent) – If a catcher has a pulse, fantasy owners should be interested. Chris Iannetta or Tony Wolters aren’t a threat, as they aren’t even hitting their weight. Murphy, meanwhile, was hitting .289 in Triple-A, and he just got the call to Colorado. He’s a power-hitting catcher with a pedigree, and that gives him a real chance to be a top 5 catcher in fantasy going forward if he gets everyday at-bats.
TWO-START PITCHERS TO STREAM
DYLAN COVEY (SP, Chicago White Sox
Dwayne Harris Jersey , 18 percent) – Covey has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners this season with his good strikeout rate, low walk rate and 2.29 ERA for the White Sox. There are better matchups out there than Cleveland and Oakland, but Covey should earn your trust in a two-start week.
MIKE MONTGOMERY (SP, Chicago Cubs, 17 percent) – Montgomery has filled in admirably for the injured Yu Darvish. He gives an added boost to those in points leagues, as he has relief pitcher eligibility. Montgomery is slated to start against the Dodgers and at the Reds next week.
JAIME BARRIA (SP, Los Angeles Angels, 27 percent) – With Shohei Ohtani out for the foreseeable future, Barria will get his shot to stick in the Angels rotation on a full-time basis.
HITTERS TO STREAM
BRIAN ANDERSON (3B, Miami Marlins, 46 percent) – If Anderson were in any other market
Durham Smythe Jersey , he’d be more highly owned. Anderson and the Marlins get six games against the Giants and the Rockies on the road next week. He’s worth streaming and owning for the long run.
JAY BRUCE (OF, New York Mets, 34 percent) – The newly-signed three-year deal hasn’t quite worked out for Bruce or the Mets yet, but Coors Field could be the scenery he needs to get going.
DUSTIN FOWLER (OF, Oakland Athletics 4 percent) – In Oakland’s six games next week, only one is scheduled to be against a lefty, which benefits Fowler. The Padres and White Sox are both in the top 10 for stolen bases allowed by a team this year. Expect Fowler to get plenty of run.
