There is no sugarcoating it — after two consecutive weeks with plenty of appealing two-start streamers, this week’s list is rough. There is no one who I would recommend without hesitation. Managers who are worried about their ratios should consider pivoting to one of the top one-start options. On the hitting side, wise managers will look for Royals and Tigers on the waiver wire.
Two-start pitchers (listed in order of preference):
Landen Roupp, Giants, 15% (@CHC, @MIN)
Roupp’s 5.10 ERA will scare many managers away, but he is close to breaking through.

The UFC returned to Iowa for the first time in 25 years this past Saturday, and with finishes in six fights, the fans got a lot of what they came for.
The final three fights in Des Moines were stoppages, including the knockout of a previously unbeaten middlewewight trying to break into the rankings – but denied by another promotion’s former ex-champion.
Now you can look back at all the finishes from UFC on ESPN 67 at Wells Fargo Arena in the video above.

Let’s make predictions for the second round of the 2025 NHL Playoffs.
The 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs have been absolutely sensational thus far, and now we’re getting to the business end of the postseason. It’s very difficult to know how a team will adapt from an 82 game season of one-off matchups and project how they’ll translate that into a deeply tactical, chess-like, seven game series.
For what it’s worth: In my Stanley Cup Playoffs preview I correctly predicted seven of the eight series, four of which with the exact number of games.

Scottie Scheffler was out of this world in his first win of the season.
Call me old fashioned, but -31 is an insane score for a PGA Tour event.
I doubt that Scottie Scheffler cares too much. The world number one was absolutely dominant at TPC Craig Ranch in the CJ Cup and did indeed post a winning score of 31-under par. Erik Van Rooyen finished in second, qualifying for the Truist in the process by the way, eight strokes back.
The NFL has no real offseason (other than perhaps a few weeks from mid-June to mid-July) because it always has something cooking. The league always has trades, free agent signings, the draft, some sort of drama on deck.
And it also has the promise of that drama seemingly waiting just offstage, as well.
Well, we’re in the just offstage part of our program.
The NFL has promised us a handful of substantive moves over the past few weeks that have not yet manifested. And, well, we’re kind of getting a little antsy over here.
We’re waiting for:
The Kirk Cousins trade.

Let’s rank the best available NFL free agents right now.
Post-draft free agent signings are a hit-or-miss operation. While sometimes the player is just added for depth purposes, there are many street free agents who end up being incredibly impactful on their respective teams. The Baltimore Ravens turn their street free agents into impactful players, such as Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy in recent years.
At this moment, it looks like the available free agents have kind of been picked over.
