Phillip Lindsay Officially Inactive Thursday Night

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) will officially miss the Week 4 meeting with the New York Jets. Melvin Gordon III will serve as the team's primary running back in this one and is a solid RB2 option. Meanwhile, expect a sprinkling of Royce Freeman, but with just six carries all year, […]

Jamison Crowder Active For Week 4

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is active for Thursday night's contest against the Denver Broncos. It remains to be seen how much Crowder actually plays in this game and he's a fairly risky option in season-long leagues, but he is an intriguing play in DFS. Braxton Berrios's Week 4 value takes a […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Faces Tough Week 4 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is a risky play in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While Chark -- who missed Week 3 with chest and back issues -- appears on track to play, the Bengals Defense has been solid against the pass this year, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide […]

Will Fuller V Limited In Practice On Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V (hamstring) was a surprise entrant to the injury report on Thursday. Fuller has a history of missing games with hamstring issues, so this should be a worrisome sign for his availability against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A healthy Fuller has game-breaking speed, but even he's not at […]

James Robinson Has Plus Matchup In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has three touchdown runs in the past two games and has seen a marked increase in his passing-game usage over the course of the early season, catching six passes against Miami. He gets a solid Week 4 matchup against the Bengals, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to […]

Bengals Could Be Bad Matchup For Gardner Minshew II

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is coming off a disappointing Week 3 performance in which he failed to throw for a touchdown despite completing 71.43 percent of his passes. Now, Minshew will look to bounce back against the Bengals on Sunday. The problem? Cincinnati is only allowing 16.5 fantasy points per game to opposing […]

Steelers-Titans Will Not Be Played In Week 4

After more positive COVID-19 tests on Thursday from the Tennessee Titans, their Week 4 contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers is being moved to later in the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We don't know when the game will be played now, but we do know that fantasy managers need to make sure Titans and […]

Tape Tells All: Justin Jefferson's Week 3 Performance

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, your home for film and stat breakdowns of a rising fantasy player's performance from the previous week. In today's addition, we'll be looking at Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The rookie exploded in Week 3, catching seven passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. Is he the new […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Week 3 is in the books. It was a week of close, exciting games, and also the week that the Bengals and Eagles played to a tie, with both teams giving up at the very end to avoid losing. That was a very bad overtime. Anyway, wide receivers! That's why you're here! Read on to […]

Justin Herbert (QB, LAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert was pressed into action in Week 2 after starter Tyrod Taylor suffered a punctured lung in pregame, and Herbert looked fine, going 22-for-33 for 311 yards, a touchdown, an interception, and a rushing score. In Week 3, […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, JAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The search for a tight end streamer might be the most frustrating search in fantasy football. The depth at the position remains as inconsistent as ever, and if your starter has gone down with injury (hi, Kittle managers!) then you're in for a […]

Braxton Berrios (WR, NYJ) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  So, the Jets. It's a mess in the Meadowlands this year, as the injuries are piling up and head coach Adam Gase is the most likely NFL coach to be fired before this week is over. Among those injuries are a whole […]

Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jack Doyle back from injury, it was reasonable to expect tight end Mo Alie-Cox to take a backseat on Sunday against the Jets. And he did, getting targeted just three times. But Alie-Cox caught all three of them, finishing with 50 […]

Nick Boyle Catches Touchdown In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle caught the team's only offensive touchdown in the team's Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, with a five-yard grab on his only target of the game. Boyle has just four receptions through three games and while the touchdown was nice for anyone using him as a punt […]

Devin Duvernay Has Kick-Return Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Devin Duvernay showed off his speed on Monday night, taking a kickoff 93 yards to the house for the first kick-return touchdown of the 2020 NFL season. He was less effective as a receiver, catching two passes for seven yards. Duvernay is an intriguing young player who should see his […]

Marquise Brown Disappears Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown was incredibly quiet in Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching two of his six targets and finishing with 13 yards. With Baltimore finishing with under 100 passing yards, Brown's numbers still put him third on the team in receiving yards, if you're looking for a positive to […]

Mark Andrews Struggles Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews led the team in targets on Monday against the Chiefs. Unfortunately, he couldn't bring most of them in, finishing with three receptions for 22 yards. Andrews had trouble with his hands all night. Usually a reliable tight end, we can probably chalk this one up to the struggles of […]

J.K. Dobbins Is Ravens Leading Receiver In Week 3

On a night where the passing game never materialized, it was Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins who led the team in targets and yards, catching four passes for 38 yards. He added six rushing yards on one carry. The takeaways from this one are a bit of a mixed bag for fantasy managers. You […]

Mark Ingram II Quiet Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II couldn't find any room in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, rushing seven times for 30 yards and failing to bring in his only target. Not a great showing from the veteran back, but he did have seven of the 12 carries for running backs on the night […]

Gus Edwards Sees Drop In Usage

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards was the team's leading running back in terms of yards on Monday night, but that's not saying much. Edwards saw just four carries in this one, finishing with 39 yards, though much of that came on one play. Edwards is a talented back, but his workload is too inconsistent […]

Lamar Jackson Struggles Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't look like the defending NFL MVP in Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson was held to just 97 passing yards, going 15-for-28 and throwing one touchdown. Jackson did lead the team in rushing yards with 83 of them on nine carries, salvaging his day for fantasy managers, […]

Justice Hill Inactive Again

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Chiefs, making it three weeks in a row that the second-year back hasn't played. Fantasy managers had high hopes for Hill last year, but it's become clear that he's not going to have a consistent role -- or even any […]

Sammy Watkins Active Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (concussion, neck) is active for Monday night's meeting against the Baltimore Ravens. An inconsistent weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Watkins is best viewed as a risky DFS play this week for fantasy managers looking to differentiate their lineups from everyone else's, because you can't bet on Watkins having […]

Chris Godwin Exits With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin won't return to Sunday's Buccaneers game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury. He'll finish with five catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. Hopefully, Godwin not returning is because the game was already out of hand when he left and not a sign that Tom Brady will […]

Davante Adams Officially Out For Week 3

No surprise here, but it's now official: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is out again this week when the Packers take on the New Orleans Saints. Hopefully, you weren't waiting for Adams's status still, but if you were, you've hopefully got Allen Lazard or Marquez Valdes-Scantling on your roster. Both guys have […]

Mike Williams Questionable To Return Against Panthers

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (hamstring) is questionable to return to his team's Week 3 contest against the Carolina Panthers. If Williams doesn't return -- or if he misses time with this hamstring injury -- we'll see a lot more of Jalen Guyton on the field. He'd become a deep-league flex option is […]

Dallas Goedert Expected To Miss Time

The hits keep coming for this Philadelphia Eagles offense. Tight end Dallas Goedert left Sunday's tie against the Bengals with an ankle injury and is now expected to "miss some time," says Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Philly has been going with two tight ends lately to make up for their lack of wide […]

Sean Murphy-Bunting Won't Return Against Denver

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting (groin/hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The second-year defensive back has played almost every snap for the Buccaneers Defense this season but has struggled coming into Sunday's game, allowing receptions on nine of the 10 plays where he was targeted. If Murphy-Bunting misses time moving […]

Mekhi Becton Won't Return To Jets/Colts Game

New York Jets offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (shoulder) exited Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and will not return. The Jets offense is already in a precarious position due to injuries, and Becton -- who already was dealing with the shoulder issue before this game -- is another piece they can't afford to lose. The […]

Brandin Cooks Has Quiet Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught three passes for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was targeted five times. After his 95-yard Week 2 effort, it looked like Cooks was trending upwards, but the Texans offense might just be too volatile on a week-to-week basis. Cooks is an extremely talented […]
