Matt DiBenedetto Going To Backup Car
After making contact with the wall during qualifying, Matt DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers Racing 21 car will be bringing out the backup car for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. That will leave DiBenedetto bringing up the rear when the race begins, but because he did manage to post a qualifying lap before the change, he'll be […]

Aric Almirola Qualifies 40th At Charlotte
Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola spun during qualifying for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600, causing him to fail to post a qualifying lap. That means Almirola will roll off the grid in 40th on Sunday night, making him a solid DFS pick due to his potential to pick up fantasy points via place differential. Almirola might not have […]

Chris Buescher A Sleeper At Charlotte
Roush Fenway Racing's Chris Buescher has collected four top-20 finishes in his first Cup season with the team, and he'll be in a good spot to grab his fifth one in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600.

Martin Truex Jr. Always Strong At Charlotte
Charlotte Motor Speedway is a good track for Joe Gibbs Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. since he became aligned with Gibbs in 2016 when Furniture Row Racing switched to Toyota. Truex has won three of the six Cup races on the 1.5-mile track, plus he has added a second- and third-place finish as well. The […]

Beginner's Luck: Selling Rookies Who Could Regress
When I say "dynasty fantasy football," one of the first things you probably think is "young players!" In leagues where you're keeping guys for years, having young guys is obviously a good way of building a team. But just hoarding players in the first three or four seasons is not a clear path to a dynasty, and […]

Colts See Larger Role For Nyheim Hines
Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines was a big loser this offseason on the surface. The team drafted Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor in the second round, and with Marlon Mack still around, Hines was seemingly relegated to a third-string role. But the team actually expects Hines to get more usage now that Philip Rivers […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton finds himself in a more crowded receiver group after the addition of second-round wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., but Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni says that Hilton is still the "lead dog" on the team.

While new Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is only on a one-year deal, head coach Frank Reich says that Rivers will be a Colt for multiple years.

Colts Sign Jonathan Taylor, Jacob Eason
The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Jacob Eason to their rookie deals. Taylor is expected to share lead back duties with Marlon Mack initially but has the profile to be the best early-down back from the 2020 NFL Draft and a solid fantasy flex option right off the bat. He's […]

The 30-year-old passer hasn't started a game since 2017, when he threw for 833 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions for the Bears. Glennon isn't a threat to take playing time away from Gardner Minshew II even if Minshew struggles, […]
