Nelson Velazquez Remains Out On Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Nelson Velazquez (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was a late scratch on Friday due to a non-COVID related illness. Possibly, the Cubs decided to have him sit out due to the fact a right-hander pitcher is on the mound. Ian Happ, […]

Ryan Helsley Collects 16th Save

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley struggled, but was able to hold off the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. The right-hander was brought in during the ninth inning to protect a two-run game. The 28-year-old allowed one run, but was able to escape with his 16th save of the season. He has now converted 16 […]

Trevor Story Removed From Sunday's Game

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (heel) was removed during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It seems that Story suffered a heel injury while running to first base. The severity of the injury is unknown, but he was likely removed from the game as a precaution. He's expected to undergo further testing, so fantasy […]

Albert Pujols Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols launched his 697th career home run of his career on Sunday. The 42-year-old hit a go-ahead two-run home run off right-hander Chase De Jong in the ninth inning. The future Hall of Famer has now hit a home run in back-to-back contests. He continues to close in on […]

Tyrion Davis-Price Inactive Against Bears

San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price is listed as inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. This is a bit surprising considering Trey Sermon is off the roster now. Apparently, the 49ers feel comfortable with Elijah Mitchell and Jeff Wilson Jr. as the primary running backs. Davis-Price does have some stash […]

George Kittle Officially Out For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) has been officially ruled out for the Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. He suffered a groin injury in practice and it sounds like it's going to cost him time. Hopefully, Kittle will be able to play next week, but that will be determined later in […]

Buccaneers Not Counting On Rob Gronkowski Returning

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to move forward without Rob Gronkowski in their future plans. The five-time Pro Bowl tight end returned to the Bucs in 2020 after sitting out the 2019 campaign. There were rumors that Gronkowski might return again this season, but it doesn't look like the Bucs plan on bringing him […]

J.K. Dobbins Unlikely To Play In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Week 1 against the New York Jets. It sounds like Dobbins will attempt to get on the field for warmups, but is most likely sitting out this contest. Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis should split up a majority of the carries in […]

David Bakhtiari Not Expected To Play In Week 1

Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) is not expected to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran tackle tore his ACL in December of last year, which led to him only playing in one game. It doesn't sound like he's quite ready to take the field yet. […]

Chase Young Could Return Around Week 5

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young is on a similar timetable to running back Brian Robinson, according to Adam Schefter. It was reported that Robinson is likely to be ready to return by Week 5. It sounds like Young is on a slightly slower timetable, but still should be available to play this season. Young […]

Mo Alie-Cox A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox is on the top of the depth chart to begin the season. Despite that, Alie-Cox has never surpassed 400 receiving yards in a single season. The Colts have Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr. have are going to get a bulk of the action on this offense. Although, the […]

Alec Pierce Unlikely To Have Success In Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has quietly been making a strong impact during training camp. The rookie wideout is expected to compete with Parris Campbell for the No. 2 role in Indy. However, it's unlikely that Pierce has a ton of fantasy value to begin the season. He's still learning this system and offensive […]

Parris Campbell A Risky Option For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell has struggled to establish himself through three seasons in the league. The former second round pick has played in a total of 15 games through three seasons with the Colts. The hope is that he can stay healthy and be the No. 2 option for the Colts. Although, he'll […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Has Low-End WR1 Value

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off a strong campaign where he finished with over 1,000 receiving yards last season. The 24-year-old is looking to add onto that season with new quarterback Matt Ryan under center. The expectation is that Pittman will have a heavy workload which should mean increased value. At […]

Nyheim Hines A Possible Flex Option

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is expected to have an increased workload this upcoming season. He is the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor, but will also be the pass-catcher in the backfield. The assumption is that Hines will be heavily involved in this Colts offense. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 1 against […]

Jonathan Taylor Has Excellent Matchup Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was projected as one of the best fantasy players heading into this season. He's coming off a year where he rushed for 1,811 yards with 18 touchdowns in 17 games. The Colts coaching staff mentioned that they do plan on limiting Taylor more this upcoming season. Despite that, Taylor […]

Matt Ryan Has QB1 Upside

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will make his team debut against the Houston Texans in Week 1. The 37-year-old is coming off a below average season where he threw for 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games with the Atlanta Falcons. The expectation is that Ryan will have better fantasy value in Indy. He'll […]

Jamison Crowder Quiet During Thursday's Win

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jamison Crowder made his team debut against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. He's expected to compete with Isaiah McKenzie for snaps as the slot receiver. On Thursday, Crowder hauled in three of his four targets for 28 yards in the win over the Rams. It was a quiet night for […]

Isaiah McKenzie Snags Touchdown In Win Over Rams

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was a shaky fantasy option heading into Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. It was uncertain how the targets would be split up. It was a bit of a mixed result for McKenzie in the season opener. He hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards […]

Gabe Davis Plays Well In Season Opener

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis was one of the most hyped wideouts heading into the season. The 23-year-old was expected to see an increased workload as the No. 2 option in Buffalo. Well, fantasy managers are certainly happy with the results they got during the season opener. On Thursday, Davis finished with four receptions […]

Dawson Knox Barely Involved On Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was unable to make much of an impact during Thursday's season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. To be fair, it wasn't really his fault as the targets weren't there for him. Knox hauled in one of his two targets for five yards in the victory. A majority of […]

Stefon Diggs Goes Off In Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was expected to once again be one of the better fantasy wideouts this season. There was some speculation that maybe he'd slow down, but clearly that's not happening. On Thursday, Diggs finished with eight receptions for 122 receiving yards, and one touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles […]

Diontae Johnson Trending Towards Playing In Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice. Johnson has back-to-back limited practice sessions under his belt. It sounds like the team is taking it one day at a time. That being said, fantasy managers will likely have to wait until after practice on Friday for more information. The fact Johnson […]

Michael Thomas Hopeful To Play On Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) was limited once again during Thursday's practice. The stud wideout has practiced in back-to-back days, which is a good sign. It sounds like the organization is optimistic that Thomas will be able to get on the field for the season opener on Sunday. Thomas has been dealing […]

Saints Sign Erik McCoy To Extension

New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy has agreed to a new deal with the organization. The former second round pick is coming off the worst season of his career. Despite that, the two sides have agreed to a five-year $63.75 million deal. McCoy is normally above average, but battled through a calf injury last season. […]

Kenneth Walker III Likely To Miss Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is unlikely to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back was unable to practice on Thursday. At this point, it doesn't seem like Walker is going to have enough time to get ready for this contest. The expectation is that […]

Zack Moss Disappointing In Week 1

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss failed to make much of an impact during the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. He rushed six times for 15 yards and hauled in six receptions for 21 yards through the air in the victory. At least fantasy managers in PPR formats got something out […]

Devin Singletary Rushes For Nearly 50 Yards

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary surprisingly had a decent game on the ground during the season opener on Thursday. He rushed eight times for 48 yards, while adding two receptions for 14 yards through the air. This was a fairly decent game for Singletary, but he didn't do much damage in fantasy leagues. His […]

Josh Allen Looks Strong In Season Opener

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen came out strong during the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. He completed his first 10 passes and tossed two touchdowns in the process. It was a team effort to get this win, but Allen certainly came out of the gate strong. He completed 26-of-31 passing attempts […]

Russell Gage Remains Limited On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) was limited during practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been limited in back-to-back practices, which means he's questionable for Week 1. To be fair, Gage has been dealing with this hamstring issue for several weeks. He is worth keeping an eye on in fantasy leagues with Chris […]
