FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/8/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The Division Series has taught us fantasy managers some valuable lessons: Dodger Stadium and Petco Park are now apparently hitter’s parks, Randy Arozarena is Mike Trout-lite, and that bubble series can provide loads of intensity. The odds are that this is the final four-game slate of the 2020 baseball season, so as my mate Ziggy […]

Top Draft Prospect Trey Lance Declares For NFL Draft

North Dakota State Bison quarterback Trey Lance announced Tuesday that he would not suit up for the remainder of the 2020 college football season in order to prepare for the ‘21 NFL Draft. Projected by many prognosticators as a first-round pick -- potentially even a Top 10 selection -- Lance is a dual-threat signal caller […]

Cardinals Defense Primed For Bounce-Back Outing In Week 5

The Arizona Cardinals Defense has been one of the league’s fastest-rising units in season-long formats this season, primarily on the back of the 11 sacks that the team compiled in its first three games. But after a zero-sack, 31-point drubbing at the hands of Carolina, Arizona is back in the catbird seat for Week 5, […]

Justin Tucker Remains Perfect Entering Week 5

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker not only boasts one of the league’s most booming right legs, he has also benefited in 2020 from playing alongside an explosive offense. He has made all 14 extra points and eight field goals that he has been called upon to knock through, bringing that streak into a Week 5 […]

Le'Veon Bell Presents Risky RB2 Option Sunday In Return

Barring a significant setback, New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) is expected to return for Sunday’s contest versus the Cardinals. Bell has been out of the mix since Week 1, having rushed just six times this season for 14 yards. While he should reclaim top back duties for New York, the Jets’ offense […]

Mike Davis In Line For Massive Workload During Week 5

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis has vaulted into fantasy consideration in nearly every season-long league due to the injury to Christian McCaffrey (ankle). But following the injury to Reggie Bonnafon (ankle), Davis and Trenton Cannon are slated to be the only two running backs on the team’s 53-man roster versus the Falcons on Sunday. […]

Leonard Fournette Doesn’t Practice Again Tuesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) was a non-participant at practice Tuesday for the second consecutive day, with head coach Bruce Arians saying that Fournette is likely “a game-time decision” for Thursday versus the Bears. Fournette’s absence would pave the way for Ronald Jones II to once again see a considerable workload, especially […]

KhaDarel Hodge Lands On Injured Reserve

Cleveland Browns wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve Tuesday after sustaining a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups Sunday. Hodge did not play versus Dallas after seeing the field in more than 50 percent of the team’s offensive snaps through the first three weeks. Having compiled just three receptions for 51 yards, […]

Drew Lock Watches Practice From Sidelines Tuesday

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) may have entered the week with a “50-50” chance to play Sunday versus New England, but the fact that he was not practicing Tuesday is not a step in the right direction for his status. Lock has been sidelined since sustaining a strained rotator cuff during Week 2, with […]

Seattle Hosts Damon Harrison, Mychal Kendricks For Visits

The Seattle Seahawks Defense is eyeing reinforcements, with linebacker Mychal Kendricks set for a visit Tuesday, in addition to the one that was previously reported for defensive tackle Damon Harrison. Kendricks, who sustained an ACL tear at the conclusion of 2019, has been cleared to return to action. Having started 14 games for Seattle last […]

Raiders Defense Loses Maurice Hurst To COVID List

Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Maurice Hurst was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list Tuesday, a move that will undoubtedly draw interest to the organization in the coming days. Hurst played in a season-high 57 percent of the team’s defensive snaps Sunday versus Buffalo, compiling two tackles. Having appeared in all four games this year, […]

Josiah Deguara Sustains ACL Tear, Done For 2020

Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2020 season. Deguara, the team’s third-round selection in the ‘20 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati, made one catch for 12 yards prior to seeing his season come to an end. After the breakout […]

Kenjon Barner Receives Four-Game Suspension

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back/kick returner Kenjon Barner has been tagged with a four-game suspension stemming from a violation of the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy. Barner is yet to receive a carry for Tampa Bay this year, but he did draw four offensive snaps last Sunday, in addition to returning a kick for 33 yards. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/6/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The days of four-game MLB slates are fast dwindling as the American League and National League Division Series take centerstage at once beginning Tuesday. With no elimination scenarios on the table yet, starting pitchers should have a reasonable leash, although as you’ll come to read, some may have longer ones than others. As can usually […]

Quinton Dunbar, Jamal Adams Could Return Sunday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar (knee) and safety Jamal Adams (groin) could both be back in the mix for Sunday’s contest versus Minnesota, although head coach Pete Carroll made it apparent that they’ll need to continue progressing throughout the week. Dunbar seems like the likelier of the two to take the field after he was […]

Ravens Defense In Strong Spot For First Matchup Versus Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens Defense holds obvious appeal ahead of Sunday’s matchup against Cincinnati and rookie Joe Burrow, the first time that the two sides will cross paths. After collecting three more sacks as a unit Sunday against Washington, Baltimore is now a top three season-long defensive unit, one that has allowed 17 points or fewer […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Upside Appeal In Week 5

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will have considerable DFS appeal should Sunday’s contest versus Buffalo go off without a hitch in the wake of the Titans’ COVID-19 outbreak. Tannehill has completed 67.3% of his passes to begin the year, which is right in line with the completion rate that the Bills have allowed (67.7%). The […]

James Conner Eyes Third Straight 100-Yard Outing In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner entered what would have been his fourth game of the season against Tennessee this past weekend with back-to-back 100-yard games under his belt. But instead, his fourth game of the year comes this Sunday versus Philadelphia after the Titans’ COVID-19 outbreak. While the Eagles have been stingy against the […]

Khalil Mack Continues To Be Limited Practice Participant Monday

Chicago Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack (knee) was limited in practice Monday, although that hasn’t deviated from where the team has had him all season. Mack has been tagged as questionable for each of the team’s first four games due to a knee ailment, yet he has played through it up to this point, recording […]

Jaire Alexander Goes Through Warmups Monday

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (hand) took to the field prior to Monday’s contest against Atlanta for warmups, a safe indicator that he’ll be available for the game after carrying a questionable designation. Alexander, who has two passes defended, an interception and a sack through his first three outings this year, will have the […]

Raheem Mostert Has Chance To Play Versus Miami

There is a possibility that San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is cleared to return in time for Sunday’s contest versus Miami. Mostert has missed each of his team’s past two games due to a sprained MCL, ceding backfield duties to a group that has primarily been headlined by Jerick McKinnon. Having recorded […]

49ers Defense Faces Possible Cornerback Shortage In Week 5

The San Francisco 49ers Defense has been a ramshackle group during 2020 due to injuries, which looks as if it’ll only continue heading into Week 5 versus Miami. Cornerback K’Waun Williams (knee) has been diagnosed with a knee sprain, which is likely to land him on injured reserve alongside Richard Sherman (calf). To extenuate how […]

Tyrod Taylor Remains Week-To-Week For Possible Week 5 Return

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (chest, ribs) is still in a week-to-week injury situation, head coach Anthony Lynn confirmed Monday. Rookie Justin Herbert has splashed on the scene and looked the part of a starting QB, although he has gone 0-3 in his short time as the starter. Lynn said that he would need […]

Chiefs Defense Loses Chris Jones For Monday Night Tilt

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) will be unavailable for Monday’s contest versus the Patriots after carrying a questionable designation into the contest due to a groin ailment. Jones had two sacks last week against Baltimore, giving him 3.5 through his first three games this year. His absence should pave the way for […]

Mike Evans Headlines Group Of Bucs Not Practicing Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (ankle) was one of multiple players to not practice Monday ahead of the team's quick turnaround with a meeting versus the Bears on Thursday. Joining Evans on the sidelines during practice were fellow receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Scotty Miller (hip/groin), running backs Leonard Fournette (ankle) and LeSean […]

Lions Defense Will Have Desmond Trufant Back Sunday

Detroit Lions cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring) is expected back on the field for Sunday’s contest against New Orleans. Having been without Trufant for the past two weeks due to a hamstring ailment, Detroit’s defense should simultaneously get a boost from his return, while also not having to worry about covering All-Pro receiver Michael Thomas (ankle). […]

Tampa Bay Anticipates Having Scotty Miller Active Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (hip) is expected to take the field Sunday versus the Chargers after having logged a full practice Friday. Miller has combined for 10 catches and 167 receiving yards through his first three games, having seen his role grow exponentially under Tom Brady. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) unavailable, there […]

Kareem Hunt Expected To Be In Mix For Sunday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) is likely to play in Sunday’s contest versus the Cowboys. Hunt had been limited in practice throughout the week, but that won’t appear to be enough to keep him sidelined during what should be a high-scoring affair in Dallas. Having accrued receiving touchdowns in each of the past […]

Titans COVID-19 Outbreak Continues, Week 5 Game In Peril

The Tennessee Titans had two additional members of the organization test positive for COVID-19 as of Sunday morning, bringing the organization’s outbreak to 18 personnel having tested positive. With the team having continued to have positives come back, it puts their Week 5 matchup versus the Bills in jeopardy. The NFL has shown itself adaptable […]
