Parris Campbell Won't Play Preseason Opener

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled wide receiver Parris Campbell out for Thursday's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Campbell's been dealing with a hamstring issue, so the team is playing it safe with the rookie. In addition, tight ends Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron have been ruled out, as has quarterback Andrew Luck and running […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/8/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

After two days in a row of single-game slates, we're back today to cover Thursday's three game one. The Fever visit the Mystics in the early evening game, and then we get two late games as the Wings play in Seattle and the Mercury visit the Sparks. In this article, I'll be providing you with […]

Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again

Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]

Texans Sign Jordan Ta'amu

The Houston Texans signed quarterback Jordan Ta'amu on Wednesday. With A.J. McCarron (thumb) likely out for the preseason, Ta'amu is nothing more than an extra body to play in preseason games, so this move can be ignored in all season-long formats. The biggest impact comes in preseason DFS contests, as Joe Webb won't be forced […]

A.J. McCarron Likely To Miss Preseason

Houston Texans quarterback A.J. McCarron suffered a thumb injury during Houston's joint practice with the Green Bay Packers and will likely miss the preseason. McCarron's spot as Houston's backup quarterback this season is safe, but the injury does have preseason DFS implications, as Joe Webb will likely have to play extended snaps in Thursday's game. […]

How Useful Are Expert Mocks? A Side-by-Side Comparison

There are a lot of expert mock drafts out there. They're useful because they give you a good idea of who people who write about fantasy football are targeting. But there are a LOT more people who play fantasy football who aren't writers, and the drafts you actually do this month are bound to look […]

Kalen Ballage (RB, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~150 I do expect this ADP to rise significantly as we get closer and closer to draft season since Ballage has been practicing with the starters in Miami, but I believe Kenyan Drake is still going to start the year as the starter. Once that becomes clear, Ballage's ADP […]

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~170 Last year, the Ravens run game was unlocked once Lamar Jackson took over as quarterback, with Gus Edwards rushing for 654 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the final seven games. Edwards was highly productive over that stretch, but there's a reason he finds himself virtually locked out of […]

Leonard Fournette Could Factor In Pass Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should play a role in the passing game this year, says John Oehser of Jaguars.com. While we heard the same thing before last season, the Jaguars had a strong pass-catching back in T.J. Yeldon at that point. Now, Fournette's main backups work much better as early-down guys, so there […]

Jaguars Sign Roc Thomas

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas. Thomas will serve a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy to open the season, so Jacksonville signing him while that looms over his head suggests that the team sees him as an actual piece for the team and not someone who'll […]

Taiwan Jones Having Strong Camp

Early on in training camp, it looked like the Houston Texans were set to roll with Josh Ferguson as their third-down back, but veteran running back Taiwan Jones has come on strong lately in the battle for that spot. Jones has been practicing with Houston's starters at times and the veteran has plenty of experience […]

KeeSean Johnson In Line To Be Cardinals' Third Receiver

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Keesean Johnson appears to be the team's third receiver right now behind Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. Though Johnson was drafted after fellow rookies Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler, he's been clearly ahead of both of them in training camp. Things can obviously change between now and the regular season, […]

Damarea Crockett Getting Goal-Line Carries In Camp

Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett has been splitting goal-line carries with the recently released D'Onta Foreman in training camp. With Foreman gone, Crockett could see an expanded role as Houston's short-yardage back if he can make the team's final roster. Keep an eye on how Crockett is used during the preseason and if anyone […]

Yannick Ngakoue Reports To Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has reported to camp, ending his holdout. Ngakoue was in search of a better contract situation after collecting 29.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles over his first three years in the NFL. Ngakoue is a vital part of the Jaguars defense, so his return is good news for anyone […]

Texans Waive D'Onta Foreman

In a surprising move, the Houston Texans waived running back D'Onta Foreman on Sunday. Foreman was slow to recover from an Achilles injury that he suffered in 2017 and held him to just seven carries and negative-one yard in one game in 2018. The team wasn't happy with Foreman's training camp performance and head coach […]

Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR

Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/4/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

It's Sunday, and we have three games on today's schedule. Based on recent results, Connecticut/New York is going to go heavily in Connecticut's favor, but there's an exciting Storm/Sparks contest followed by the incredibly injured Phoenix Mercury hosting the Washington Mystics. In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for […]

Marqise Lee May Not Have Significant Role

With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) still not practicing, the Jaguars have gone with a three-receiver set of Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley so far. The assumption was that Lee would replace one of those guys when healthy, but it's starting to sound like that may not be the case. 1010XL's […]

Geoff Swaim Set To Be Starting Tight End

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Geoff Swaim is the team's starting tight end heading into the season, says Hays Carlyon of 1010XL. There was competition between Swaim and rookie Josh Oliver, but a hamstring injury has set Oliver back and helped hand the role to Swaim. Swaim spent the first four years of his career in […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/3/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Happy Saturday! Three games in the WNBA tonight. Liz Cambage returns to Dallas to face her former team, while the Fever host the Lynx and the Sky visit the Dream. We've got a good amount of struggling defenses going tonight, so this should be a high-scoring night of basketball. In this article, I'll be providing […]

Must-Own Breakout Running Backs with Late ADP

As fantasy football drafts get later and later, it gets more and more difficult to figure out who you should pick. Some people respond to this by saying "ehh, I'll just do whatever and figure things out on the waiver wire." And, well...yes, you're going to need to figure things out on the waiver wire […]

Cameron Meredith Signs With Patriots

The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who was released by the Saints earlier in the week. Meredith has been placed on the team's active/PUP list while he recovers from a knee injury, but he's expected to be healthy and ready to go when the regular season arrives. Meredith should make this […]

Josh Oliver Hamstring Injury Is Serious

On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver left practice with a hamstring injury. On Friday, head coach Doug Marrone said that the hamstring issue is serious and that the team doesn't know when Oliver will be back on the field. The rookie was off to a promising start to camp and had a […]

Kahale Warring Working Mainly With Backups

Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring is finally practicing with the team after starting training camp on the PUP list, but so far he's mainly seeing snaps with the backup offense. This suggests that both Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas are ahead of Warring in the pecking order right now. Warring's got potential down […]

Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~160 Buffalo's backfield is a mess. LeSean McCoy. Frank Gore. T.J. Yeldon. Devin Singletary. How will you ever figure out who'll be the best of them? Well, training camp can be a partial guide for us. Singletary has been getting reps with the first-team offense already, which suggests that he's […]

Latavius Murray (RB, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Former Vikings back Latavius Murray has taken Mark Ingram's role in what was the NFL's best running back committee over the past two years, when the Ingram and Alvin Kamara duo was an incredibly lethal duo in real life and fantasy. But people have...well, they've just seemed […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~110 I'll admit that Austin Hooper has never been a name that excited me, even after he finished as the PPR TE6 last season. That was aided by injuries to a lot of other tight ends, so it's not as impressive as it seems. But Hooper's third […]

Melvin Gordon Requested Trade

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has requested a trade, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson. Whether or not Gordon gets traded is still a mystery, and the team has reportedly not granted him permission to speak to other teams and gauge the trade market. A holdout that didn't seem like it'd wind up being […]

Terrelle Pryor Remains Behind Other Jaguars Receivers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has made some good plays so far at training camp, especially in red-zone work, but he remains sixth on the team's depth chart at the position, putting his chances of making the team's final roster in jeopardy. It's possible he could make the team if Marqise Lee is still […]

Josh Oliver Suffers Hamstring Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's practice. Head coach Doug Marrone says that he isn't sure of the severity of the injury and how much time Oliver will have to miss, but it's a big setback for a promising young tight end. While Oliver will face an uphill […]
