Patrick Mahomes Faces Toughest Challenge Yet

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face his toughest challenge yet in the Week 5 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags defense has only allowed three touchdowns through the air this season, according to Yahoo. Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first four weeks. He's thrown 14 touchdowns without a single interception all […]

Dirk Nowitzki is Weeks Away From Returning

Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is weeks away from returning to the court, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. There was some hope that Nowitzki could return in a few days, but that is not the case. He continues to deal with left foot soreness, but has been durable throughout his career. Only […]

Sammy Watkins Goes Catchless, Exits with Injury

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) finished Monday's game with one target and zero receptions before exiting in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. It's unclear whether or not Watkins will be ready for Week 5 against the Jaguars. The Jags defense has been elite, so Watkins is not a favorable target […]

Tyreek Hill Gets Back on Track

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill finished with two receptions for 54 yards in the Week 3 victory over San Francisco. Hill was able to put that game behind him and drop nine receptions and 54 yards in Week 4. He saw a season-high 13 targets in the victory over Denver on Monday. However, […]

Travis Kelce Has Another Solid Game in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce put together another solid performance in Week 4 against the Broncos. Kelce caught seven passes for 78 yards and one touchdown on Monday. He saw double digit targets for the third consecutive week. Clearly, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kelce have found instant chemistry after the Week 1 dud. […]

Kareem Hunt Runs Wild in Win Over Denver

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had by far his best game of the season against the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Hunt rushed 19 times for 121 yards and one touchdown in the 27-23 victory on Monday. Hunt was also able to catch three passes for 54 yards, so it was a huge […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws for Over 300 Yards Again

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played well on Monday despite facing a fairly strong Denver defense. Mahomes went 28-for-45 with 304 passing yards and one touchdown in the victory over the Broncos on Monday. This was the third game in a row that Mahomes has thrown over 300 yards. However, he only threw one […]

O.J. Howard Will Undergo MRI on Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to Adam Schefter. Howard suffered a knee injury during the second quarter on Sunday and was not able to return. The Bucs don't believe the injury is serious, but still want to check. The good news for fantasy owners is […]

Chris Godwin is Quiet in Blowout Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was quiet in the Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Godwin was able to find the end zone in each game through the first three weeks. However, he was held to just two receptions and 22 yards on Sunday. It's surprising that the Bucs weren't […]

Cameron Brate Scores Again in Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was able to find the end zone for the second straight game in Week 4. Brate caught three passes for 29 yards and one touchdown in the loss to Chicago on Sunday. He was held catchless through the first two games, but has now scored in back-to-back weeks. […]

Adam Humphries Hauls in Six Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries was quiet through the first three games of the season. He was kept to just seven receptions on the season until Week 4. Humphries finished with six receptions for 36 yards in the loss to the Bears on Sunday. Jameis Winston came out of the gate in the […]

Mike Evans Plays Mediocre in Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans brought a three game touchdown streak into Chicago in Week 4. Sadly, Evans was not able to find the end zone in the 48-10 loss to Chicago. Evans caught six passes for 59 yards and saw a team-high nine targets. Evans should be back to normal in Week […]

DeSean Jackson Continues Success Against Bears

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson had a dud performance in Week 3, but was able to shine once again against the Bears in Week 4. Jackson caught five passes for 112 yards, but did not score in this one. Jackson saw eight targets which was the most behind Mike Evans (9) in Week […]

Ronald Jones Sees First NFL Action on Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II played 20-of-63 snaps (32 percent) in Week 4 versus Chicago, according to Yahoo. Jones saw 10 carries for 29 yards and caught one pass, but for negative yards. He out-touched lead back Peyton Barber which is a good sign for Jones' fantasy value moving forward. Barber has […]

Peyton Barber Continues to Struggle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber is somehow still the lead back in Tampa, but has failed to find any success through four games. Barber rushed seven times for 24 yards in the blowout loss to Chicago. Second-round rookie Ronald Jones II was active and could quickly take over as lead back for Tampa […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Likely Headed Towards Backup Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was reportedly nearly benched during Week 3 and was pulled at halftime during the blowout loss to Chicago on Sunday. Fitzpatrick opened the season with three straight games with over 400 years. Sadly, it looks like the "FitzMagic" has run out in Tampa Bay. Fitzpatrick went 9-for-18 with one […]

Jameis Winston Plays Well in Blowout Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston replaced starter Ryan Fitzpatrick in the blowout loss to the Bears on Sunday. Winston went 16-for-20 with one touchdown in two interceptions while throwing for 145 yards in the second half. The two interceptions weren't ideal, but Winston did have a 80% completion rate. The Bucs head into a […]

O.J. Howard is Becoming A Reliable Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has nine catches for 168 yards and one touchdown over the last two weeks. Howard is quickly becoming a reliable tight end and should be owned in just about every league. The Bucs are a pass-heavy team with lots of options, but have found a way to keep […]

Cameron Brate is A Shaky Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate finally caught his first pass of the season in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers. Brate caught three passes for 34 yards and one touchdown. This was a solid week for Brate, but he is still the number two tight end behind O.J. Howard. Brate did not […]

Adam Humphries is Not An Option for Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries has been lost in the shuffle of receivers through the first three weeks of the season. His best game this season was last week when he caught three passes for 30 yards. Humphries currently sits fourth on the depth chart for receivers. The Bucs offense is pass-heavy, but […]

Mike Evans Has Excellent Matchup in Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has an excellent matchup ahead of him in Week 4. Evans has caught 23 catches for 367 yards and three touchdowns through the first three weeks of the season. He'll go up against a Chicago Bears defense that is not known for their strong pass defense. Evans is […]

Peyton Barber is Not An Option for Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has not done basically nothing on the ground this season, but continues to be the lead back. The Bucs have a pass-heavy offense, so Barber does not have a huge role on the team currently. Barber will go up against a Bears defense that is allowing 65.3 rushing […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Should Be Reliable in Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has put together three straight games with 400 passing yards or more. Quarterback Jameis Winston is back from suspension, but it sounds like the Bucs are leaning towards staying with Fitzpatrick at the moment. Fitzpatrick should be in for another solid game against the Bears defense that is not […]

Adam Frazier Pulls Hamstring on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier (hamstring) was pulled early during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates pulled out Frazier due to right hamstring tightness. The Pirates are calling him day-to-day, but hamstring issues have a tendency to linger. It sounds like Frazier's season is likely over at this point. It's highly doubtful that […]

Jordy Mercer Leaves Early on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer (forearm) exited Saturday's game early after being hit by a ball on the forearm. He was not batting at the time. He was actually hit by a grounder that took a bad hop. Mercer will likely head for X-rays and if everything comes back fine then he should be back […]

Ryan Rua Will Start at First Base on Saturday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ryan Rua will draw the start at first base and bat sixth versus lefty James Paxton on Saturday. Rua has been used as a part-time player since being recalled by the Rangers. He's been slumping at the plate, so that has not helped him find more playing time. He's usually a […]

Ryon Healy is Out on Saturday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. This looks like the Mariners are giving Healy the day off, so Daniel Vogelbach can get some at-bats. Vogelbach will bat seventh and play first base versus righty Adrian Sampson. Vogelbach does not have much […]

Matt Olson is Out of the Lineup on Saturday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Olson will get a breather against the left-handed starter. Chad Pinder will draw the start at first base and bat eighth versus lefty Tyler Skaggs. Pinder is hitting .333/.412/.733 over the last two weeks, […]

Paul Goldschmidt Will Sit Out on Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. It appears that this is just a routine day off for Goldschmidt. He'll likely be back in the lineup for Sunday's contest. Daniel Descalso will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Jacob […]

Ryan Zimmerman Remains Out of the Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Zimmerman exited Wednesday's game early with back tightness and apparently is not ready to go yet. Mark Reynolds will bat sixth and play first base versus righty Jon Gray. Reynolds is probably not the best […]
