Jarvis Landry Active In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is officially active for Thursday's Week 2 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones is inactive. Landry's been dealing with this hip issue all year after offseason surgery, but it didn't keep him off the field in Week 1, so it's no surprise that even […]

Deshaun Watson May Struggle Against Ravens

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson faces a tough Week 2 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Watson -- who had one of his worst games of 2019 against this team, when he had just 169 passing yards -- is still a must-start option in season-long formats because of his tremendous upside, but he has a pretty […]

Brandin Cooks Limited In Thursday's Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was limited in practice on Thursday as he deals with a quad injury. Cooks was quiet in his Texans debut against the Chiefs, turning his five targets into just two catches and 20 yards. Even if he's able to suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Ravens, Baltimore possesses […]

Brandon Aiyuk Practices In Full

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday, positioning him to make his NFL debut against the Jets in Week 2. New York's pass defense appears to be pretty shaky after one week of play, and while you very likely should not be counting on a rookie wide receiver on […]

Justin Jackson Doesn't Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (quad) didn't practice on Thursday. His availability for Week 2 is in doubt, and his place on this team's depth chart appears to be in doubt as well. Rookie Joshua Kelley seemed to grab the No. 2 running back role from Jackson in Week 1, relegating Jackson to […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Bristol UNOH 200 (9/17/20)

It's playoff time in the NASCAR Truck Series! Thursday night is the first race of the first round of this year's Truck postseason, with 10 drivers competing for the 2020 title. Who'll come away with it when everything is all said and done? Who'll win at Bristol to lock their way in? Here at RotoBaller, […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/17/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Have you caught your breath yet from that wild ending to Mystics/Mercury, with Shey Peddy hitting the game-winning three at the buzzer to send the Mercury into the second round? And it was against the team that cut her earlier in the year! In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
