John Ross III A Healthy Scratch Again

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III is a healthy scratch against the Jaguars on Sunday, marking his second week in a row that the team hasn't had him suit up. The former first round pick looked like he was trending up in 2019, but it's now clear that he's not part of this team's […]

Scotty Miller Active In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (hip/groin) will play in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Good news for the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady, who were already set to be without wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring). The Chargers Defense should be able to limit the damage from Tampa, but in a Bruce […]

Terry McLaurin Active For Week 4

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (thigh) will play against the Ravens on Sunday. It's a terrible matchup for Washington, who are currently questioning their commitment to their starting quarterback and now face a strong Ravens Defense. The one good thing for McLaurin: he should be the primary target for Dwayne Haskins and has […]

Dede Westbrook Back To Inactive Status

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy scratch for the third time in four games this season. He only played in Week 3 because D.J. Chark Jr. was out, and with Chark back, Westbrook is back to the bench. A once promising player out of Oklahoma, Westbrook isn't rosterable in redraft leagues at […]

Carlos Hyde Out, Chris Carson In For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder) will not play in Week 4 against the Dolphins, while running back Chris Carson (knee) will play. Carson was injured last week and it initially looked like he'd miss time, but everything seems to be a go with him. He'll be the lead back this week and a […]

Texans/Vikings Officially Playing Sunday

It seemed like a foregone conclusion at this point, and with no positive COVID tests coming back on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will officially face the Houston Texans on Sunday. Minnesota managed to avoid getting caught up in the COVID outbreak that befell their Week 3 opponent, the Tennessee Titans. Start all your Vikings and […]

Ronnie Stanley Officially Inactive

Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 4's game against Washington. Not great, as Washington's got a strong pass rush and Stanley's a key piece to this Ravens offensive line. Obviously, quarterback Lamar Jackson is still a must-start fantasy option, but the downgrade to D.J. Fluker at tackle could be enough […]

Michael Burton Active For Week 4

New Orleans Saints fullback Michael Burton is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Burton tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but an additional test showed that it was a false positive. Burton's not a fantasy relevant play, but his availability for this game shows that the league is willing to make a quick turnaround […]

Aldrick Rosas Will Kick For Jaguars In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Aldrick Rosas -- who was signed to the practice squad on September 28th -- will serve as the team's kicker in Week 4 against the Bengals. Rosas had a great 2018 season, converting 97 percent of his field goals, before falling off last year, going just 12-for-17. Against a bad Bengals team, […]

Devonta Freeman Will Start In Week 4

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman will make his first start for his new team on Sunday against the Rams. After receiving just five carries last week, it sounds like head coach Joe Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett are happy with where Freeman is in terms of the playbook. While he's not the […]

DeAndre Hopkins Officially Playing Week 4

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is officially a go in Week 4, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. An elite possession receiver and target hog for quarterback Kyler Murray, fantasy managers should start Hopkins as a WR1 with full confidence this week against the Panthers Defense.

Patriots/Chiefs Scheduled For 7:05 ET Monday

The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs Week 4 game has been rescheduled for Monday night at 7:05 ET on CBS. With all the tests coming back negative, the game will take place in Week 4. The only real change here is that the Patriots will be without quarterback Cam Newton, who is expected […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - YellaWood 500

TALLADEGA TIME Y'ALL. After an eventful pair of races at the track on Saturday in the lower series that saw maybe a little less carnage than expected but still featured some big wrecks in the closing laps that shook up the finishing order, Sunday's Cup Series races ends the weekend. And as always at 'Dega: […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Ag-Pro 300 (10/3/20)

The second race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Round of 12 is here. Chase Briscoe has clinched a spot in the next round via win and now it's time to see if another driver can lock his way in. Of course, since we're at Talladega, literally anything can happen on Saturday, from a non-playoff driver […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Chevrolet Silverado 250 (10/3/20)

It's time for what might be the most chaotic race weekend of the NASCAR season, as all three series have playoff races at Talladega Superspeedway. Anything can happen here. Surprise winners. Huge wrecks that take out drivers who are on the bubble for the next playoff round. Things can get wild. This is also a […]

Randall Cobb Has Deep League PPR Appeal In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb is coming off his best game as a Texan, catching four passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Now, he gets a plus matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The way that Houston spreads the football around gives Cobb a low ceiling, but his […]

Allen Lazard Out Indefinitely

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard underwent core muscle surgery and is out indefinitely, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Lazard showed up on the injury report on Thursday with the core injury, but no one was expecting this news. Luckily for the Packers, Davante Adams (hamstring) should return this week, but Lazard's absence is a […]

Brandin Cooks Is In Good Position In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been targeted at least five times in each game in 2020. And while his performances have been uneven so far, Cooks is in a good spot in Week 4 against a susceptible Vikings Defense. Cooks's position could be improved even more if Will Fuller V (hamstring) is out, […]

David Johnson Has Good Week 4 Matchup

When the Houston Texans face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they'll face a team that's allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Considering their first three opponents allowed the 17th, 29th, and 31st-most points to the position, this is a huge plus for Texans running back David Johnson. While the return of Duke […]

Deshaun Watson Poised For Strong Week 4

It's fine to be disappointed with how Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has played in 2020, but a tough early schedule and the fact that Houston lacks a true No. 1 receiver meant there was always a chance Watson struggled. Watson is currently the QB17 in fantasy, but expect that number to shoot up after […]

Keelan Cole Has Deep PPR Appeal In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole has received solid usage all season and has found the end zone twice, but he's also failed to record a game with more than 58 receiving yards. His target share makes him a solid deep-league PPR option with upside each week, but with a Week 4 matchup against the […]

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 […]

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 […]
