Brandon Belt Still Sidelined on Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be the sixth straight game that Belt has missed. At this point it sounds like Belt has already played his last game of the 2018 season. Aramis Garcia will play first […]

Justin Bour is Back in the Lineup on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Bour has seen very little playing time lately, so it's impossible to trust him in fantasy leagues. He'll bat cleanup and play first base versus righty Julio Teheran. Bour could make an interesting DFS candidate, but […]

Billy Hamilton Will Lead Off Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off and play center field against lefty Wei-Yin Chen on Friday. Hamilton is hitting .067/.222/.067 over the last week. Chen has been pretty awful this season, but is posting a 1.78 ERA across 12 starts at home. Hamilton could be worth a look while leading off, but Chen […]

Josh Donaldson is Back in the Lineup on Friday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Josh Donaldson is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He was given an off day on Thursday after playing in back-to-back games. Donaldson will bat fifth and serve as the DH against lefty Chris Sale. Donaldson is hitting .258/.273/.645 with four home runs and […]

Justin Smoak is Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Smoak hit a game winning home run on Thursday, but will sit this one out. Rowdy Tellez will draw the start at first base and bat fifth versus righty Diego Castillo. Tellez has […]

Lorenzo Cain Remains Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cain has now missed two straight games due to a muscle tightening up on him during Tuesday's contest. The Brewers are considering Cain day-to-day for right now. Curtis Granderson will lead off and play right field […]

Gary Sanchez Sitting Out on Friday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Sanchez will get a routine rest day on Friday, but should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Austin Romine will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate versus righty Yefry Ramirez. Romine […]

Travis Kelce a Great Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the Steelers in Week 2. Kelce was quiet during Week 1, but that was likely a fluke performance. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed two touchdowns to tight ends already this […]

Sammy Watkins A Solid WR3 for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a rough first week but was able to put together a 100-yard game against the Steelers in Week 2. Watkins has been tough to trust since last season, but hopefully a change in scenery has helped him. He's going up against a 49ers defense that has allowed […]

Tyreek Hill is Elite Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has four touchdowns through the first two games of the regular season. New Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found immediate chemistry with Hill. The Chiefs are heading into a matchup with the 49ers who have allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Both Hill and Mahomes should have […]

Kareem Hunt Should Be Reliable for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has put together one forgettable week and one respectable week through the first two games of the season. It's sometimes tough to know which Hunt you're going to get on a weekly basis. Hunt was able to find room to run against the Steelers last week, so he […]

Patrick Mahomes an Excellent Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first two weeks of the regular season. Mahomes has thrown 10 touchdowns without a single interception through two weeks. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Mahomes should be one of the best fantasy quarterbacks […]

Robert Woods Expected to be Productive in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has seen nine targets in each of the first two weeks of the regular season. It appears that adding wide receiver Brandin Cooks over the offseason has not hurt the value of Woods. He'll go up against a Chargers defense that has allowed 250 passing yards over the […]

Cooper Kupp Has Solid Matchup in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has caught at least five passes for over 50 yards in the first two games of the season. Kupp has maintained fantasy value despite wide receiver Brandin Cooks joining the team over the offseason. Kupp should be in line for a solid game against the Chargers in Week […]

Brandin Cooks Should Be Busy in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has caught at least five passes for over 80 yards or more in the first two games of the season. Cooks should continue to be busy during Week 3 against the Chargers. In Week 1, the Chargers gave up 169 yards and two touchdowns to Tyreek Hill. That […]

Todd Gurley Should be Heavily Involved in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has seen at least 19-20 carries during each of the first two weeks. Much like last season, the Rams lean heavily on Gurley and the ability to run the ball. Gurley should continue to see the ball in Week 3 against a Chargers defense that does not defend […]

Jared Goff Should Excel in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has put together two respectable performances through the first two weeks of the regular season. He now heads into a contest against a Chargers defense that's allowed 2.5 passing touchdowns per contest. The Chargers are also without Joey Bosa, so that just adds insult to injury. Goff is averaging […]

Jeimer Candelario is Still Dealing with Back Pain

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (back) missed his second straight game on Thursday due to lumbar spine spasms. Candelario has been playing basically every day for the Tigers and in what has been an up and down season for him at the plate. He won't be valuable in fantasy leagues anymore especially with this […]

Brian Anderson is Sitting Out on Thursday

Miami Marlins third baseman/outfielder Brian Anderson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Anderson has not hit well lately, so the Marlins are giving him extra days off. Miguel Rojas will lead off and play third base versus lefty Cody Reed. DFS players should be safe to use […]

Josh Donaldson is Sitting Out on Thursday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Josh Donaldson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Donaldson started his first back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday since joining the Indians. He'll get a rest day on Thursday, but should be back in there on Friday. Yandy Diaz will bat sixth […]

Kendrys Morales is Sitting Out on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be a rest day for Morales, but he'll likely be back in the lineup on Friday. Rowdy Tellez will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Ryne Stanek. Tellez […]

Todd Frazier is Out on Thursday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine off day for the struggling veteran slugger. Jose Reyes will play third base and bat seventh versus Max Scherzer. DFS players should ignore Reyes and most of the […]

Adam Eaton is Sitting Out on Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. Eaton will sit out against the left-handed starting pitcher. Victor Robles will lead off and play center field against lefty Jason Vargas. Robles has not shown much in his small sample size, but Vargas has […]

Rafael Devers is Back in the Lineup

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Devers sat out the last two games and has been slumping at the plate over the last two weeks. He'll bat sixth and play third base versus righty Masahiro Tanaka. DFS players can go […]

Paul Goldschmidt is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears the D-Backs are giving multiple starters the night off on Wednesday. Goldschmidt will be joined on the bench by David Peralta, A.J. Pollock, and Eduardo Escobar. Christian Walker will bat cleanup and play […]

Wil Myers Returns to the Lineup on Wednesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Myers was given the day off on Tuesday to rest, but he's back and ready to go on Wednesday. Myers will lead off and play third base versus righty Chris Stratton. He owns a […]

Carlos Correa is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine day off for Correa, so he should be back in the lineup on Friday. Marwin Gonzalez will play shortstop and bat cleanup versus righty Matt Festa. Gonzalez has been hitting […]

Billy Hamilton is Back in the Lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Hamilton did not start on Tuesday after going hitless over his last three games. He'll bat ninth and play center field versus lefty Gio Gonzalez on Wednesday. Hamilton has not been reliable with the bat lately, so […]

Lorenzo Cain is Out of the Lineup on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Cain was forced to leave the game on Tuesday after a muscle stiffened up on him. Christian Yelich will slide over to center field and bat second, while Domingo Santana will play right field and bat […]

Edwin Encarnacion is Back in the Lineup on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Encarnacion missed two games with a mild right ankle sprain. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the DH against righty Dylan Covey on Wednesday. Covey has a 5.81 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in his […]
