Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2
Well, we're (mostly, there are two Monday night games) done with the first week of the NFL season and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Football Team have both endangered their chase for the first overall pick and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. In terms of wide receivers, we saw a lot of the expected names -- […]

Denzel Mims Placed On Injured Reserve
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The second-round pick will have to miss at least three weeks now. At this point, it would be a surprise to see Mims make much of an impact anytime soon, though he's still got tons of dynasty potential. Fantasy managers […]

Kahale Warring Moved To Injured Reserve
Houston Texans tight end Kahale Warring has been placed on Injured Reserve with an undisclosed injury, which means he'll miss at least three weeks. With Jordan Akins looking like a potential breakout candidate and Darren Fells remaining a solid play at tight end as well, it's looking more and more like Warring is not going […]

49ers Sign Mohamed Sanu
The San Francisco 49ers have signed wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, who last played for the New England Patriots. With Deebo Samuel (foot) on the injured reserve, this 49ers team was in need of wide receiver depth, and Sanu's a solid addition. He's played for head coach Kyle Shanahan before when both were with the Falcons, […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/15/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel
The playoffs are here, and as long as there are two games per night happening, I'll be here to help you build your DFS lineups. Tuesday, we have two double-elimination games, as the Connecticut Sun face the Chicago Sky in the first game and the Washington Mystics take on the Phoenix Mercury in the second […]

Courtland Sutton, K.J. Hamler Inactive In Week 1
The Denver Broncos are without two key receivers in their Week 1 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. Courtland Sutton (shoulder) and K.J. Hamler (hamstring) will both sit, which means the Broncos will be light on wide receivers. Rookie Jerry Jeudy should get a pretty sizable workload in his NFL debut, while both Tim Patrick and […]

Anthony McFarland Jr. Inactive For Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. will be inactive for his team's Week 1 contest against the New York Giants. Without McFarland available, the Steelers will rely on the same three running backs they did last year with James Conner, Benny Snell, and Jaylen Samuels. Conner should be considered the lead back here by […]

Jeremy McNichols Promoted From Practice Squad
With Darrynton Evans out, the Tennessee Titans have promoted running back Jeremy McNichols from their practice squad. He'll be available on Monday night against the Broncos, but McNichols shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar. This is Derrick Henry's backfield, and while Evans is a candidate to spell him at times, the combination of McNichols and […]
Justin Carter
Golden Tate Inactive Against Steelers
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) won't play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Tate out, expect to see a ton of Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard at wide receiver. Both players are solid fantasy options in this contest, though it's unlikely that a fantasy manager who was planning to start […]

Chris Thompson Quiet In Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson had just two touches in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't receive a single carry but caught both of his targets for six yards. Thompson played 12 snaps. Not a great showing for those who thought Thompson in a Jay Gruden offense would look like […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Scores Touchdown To Open 2020
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Chark's touchdown salvaged an otherwise disappointing game for the third-year player who was being considered a solid fantasy WR2 this season. It's too early to panic over his workload, but finishing […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Catches Touchdown In NFL Debut
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut, a Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Shenault also received two carries, finishing with 10 rushing yards. Shenault's going to get a lot of chances to move around the formation for Jacksonville this year […]

Keelan Cole Leads Jaguars In Week 1 Targets
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was the team's target leader in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He brought in all five of those targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. Cole was basically out of the picture in 2019, but it looks like a strong camp has allowed him to re-enter […]

James Robinson Is Solid In NFL Debut
Jacksonville Jaguars undrafted free agent running back James Robinson came out of nowhere to become the starting running back for the Jags in Week 1. He responded with a solid game, carrying the ball 16 times of 62 yards and catching his only target for 28 yards. Robinson should have already been added in most […]

Gardner Minshew II Only Throws One Incompletion
If the Jacksonville Jaguars were tanking for Trevor Lawrence this year, they got off to a bad start at doing it in Week 1, as they defeated the Colts 27-20. Quarterback Gardner Minshew had a stellar game, going 19-for-20 for 173 yards and three touchdowns. While he didn't pile up yards, he made smart plays […]

Marlon Mack May Have Torn Achilles
The Indianapolis Colts fear that Marlon Mack suffered a torn Achilles on Sunday. If so, his 2020 season will be over. Nyheim Hines took on a larger role with Mack gone, working as a receiving back as expected but also seeing goal line work. Both Hines and rookie Jonathan Taylor would see their value jump […]

Mike Williams Active In Week 1
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is active for his team's Week 1 meeting with the Bengals. It's unclear how much workload Williams will get in this one as he's likely not at 100 percent, so fantasy managers with other options might want to avoid Williams. If he is on a snap count, […]

Tevin Coleman Will Play In Week 1
There were concerns that San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman wouldn't suit up for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals due to concerns over the air quality in the Bay Area, but he'll officially be active for this matchup. With injuries all over their receiving corps, the Niners will likely rely heavily on the […]
Justin Carter
Brandon Aiyuk Inactive In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) won't make his NFL debut against the Cardinals in Week 1. The 49ers will also be without Deebo Samuel (foot), which means their receiving corps isn't in great shape this week. Tight end George Kittle should be the team's leading receiver, but DFS players might want to […]
Justin Carter
Mike Evans Active For Week 1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is active for Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. Expect a limited Evans in this one, but his size does make him a solid redzone threat for the Bucs in quarterback Tom Brady's debut with the team. I don't think fantasy managers should feel great about […]
Justin Carter
DeeJay Dallas, Phillip Dorsett II Inactive In Week 1
Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Falcons, while wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) won't play either. Neither player was expected to be a fantasy option this week, so in the short term, these decisions don't mean much. But Dallas being inactive does suggest he's not […]
Justin Carter
Dede Westbrook Is Inactive In Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. That's...not good news for fantasy managers who have Westbrook rostered, as it means that rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. and veteran Keelan Cole have both moved ahead of him on the team's depth chart. If you have time this […]
Justin Carter
N'Keal Harry Active, Jarrett Stidham Inactive
New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry is officially active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Harry should serve as the primary outside receiver for new quarterback Cam Newton, though the receiving corps in New England is hard to figure out right now, making Harry no more than a deep league option this week. […]

T.J. Yeldon Among Bills Inactives
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon and quarterback Jake Fromm headline the team's inactive list for Week 1 against the Bills. Yeldon had promise when he first arrived in Buffalo, but has struggled to find a role with this team. Taiwan Jones will be the third active back behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss, but […]
Justin Carter
Kenny Golladay Inactive In Week 1
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is officially inactive for Detroit's Week 1 meeting with the Chicago Bears. No surprises here, as fantasy managers should have been planning all week to be without Golladay, but if you still have him in your lineup, you need to make sure you slide someone else into that slot. […]

Tevin Coleman's Week 1 Status Uncertain
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has yet to decide if he'll play in Week 1's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. There's concern over Coleman's pre-existing health condition and the potential air quality issues in the Bay Area caused by nearby fires. That uncertainty coupled with that game taking place in the afternoon slate […]

49ers/Cardinals Game Will Take Place As Scheduled
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers and Cardinals game will take place as scheduled on Sunday afternoon despite concerns about the air quality due to fires in the Bay Area. If you were concerned about playing 49ers or Cardinals players in your fantasy lineup this week because you were worried this game would need […]

All NFL Coaches And Players Pass Week 1 COVID-19 Test
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that all the players and coaches have passed the COVID-19 test from Saturday, which means we shouldn't see any last-minute scratches for Week 1 due to the virus. COVID-19 is going to be a looming threat to player health all season, but so far, the league has […]
