Corey Clement Inactive In Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quad) won't play against the Titans in Week 4. With Clement and Darren Sproles both out and Jay Ajayi (back) likely limited, expect the Eagles to try to pass the ball against Tennessee this week and for running back Wendell Smallwood to see a handful of carries.

Randall Cobb Inactive For Week 4

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) will not play in Week 4 against Buffalo. This means an uptick in targets for wide receiver Geronimo Allison, who is now a strong flex option against an exploitable Bills defense. Cobb owners should monitor the situation throughout the week to see what Cobb's Week 5 availability […]

49ers Plan To Stick With CJ Beathard, Won't Trade For Quarterback

The San Francisco 49ers plan to stick with CJ Beathard as their starting quarterback and won't pursue a trade for a veteran starter, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Fantasy owners shouldn't have much interest in Beathard at this point, but the reports do mean that owners in two-quarterback leagues should be able to take a […]

Sam Bradford Inactive For Week 4

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will officially go from starter to third-string this week, with the Cardinals choosing to make Bradford an inactive against the Seahawks. With Mike Glennon now standing between Bradford and the starting job should current starter Josh Rosen end up missing time with an injury, Bradford can safely be dropped in […]

Leonard Fournette Expected to Play In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is expected to play in Week 4 against the New York Jets after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. Fournette's workload for Sunday is unclear, but the Jets have been a decent team against the run this season, which makes starting Fournette a difficult decision to […]

Ronald Jones II Active For Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is active for the first time this season for Tampa's Week 4 meeting with Chicago. Jones II had been a healthy scratch for the team's first three games, but Peyton Barber hasn't played as well as the Buccaneers had hoped, opening the door for Jones. Don't expect […]

Alshon Jeffery Will Play Against Titans

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will play Sunday against the Titans barring any last minute issues from a virus that has kept him out of practice this week, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. Jeffery has missed the first three games of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery; his return to the field will give […]

Kevin Durant Has Strong Night Against Minnesota

Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant scored 16 points in just 19 minutes in his team's preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. Durant was 6-for-9 from the field and also added in four rebounds and three assists. He's a top fantasy option this season who should be taken within the first five […]

Jordan Bell Looks Good In Preseason Opener

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Jordan Bell is expected to see a lot of playing time at the five until DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) returns later in the season. In Saturday's preseason opener, the second-year player scored 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. It was a nice outing for Bell -- who outperformed […]

Stephen Curry Shoots Well To Open Preseason

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry's shot is already in regular season form after just one preseason game. The two-time MVP scored 21 points in Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves, going 7-for-11 from the field and 5-for-9 from deep while also adding in four assists and a pair of rebounds. Curry remains the NBA's […]

Anthony Tolliver Attempts 10 Threes

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Anthony Tolliver was brought in to shoot threes and in the team's preseason opener, he did just that. Tolliver finished with 15 points, going 5-for-10 from deep and 5-for-14 overall while also grabbing five boards. Tolliver is one of the more interesting fantasy options on Minnesota's bench, as he should be […]

Keita Bates-Diop Struggles To Score In Preseason Debut

Minnesota Timberwolves rookie small forward Keita Bates-Diop grabbed six rebounds and was active on the floor in Minnesota's preseason opener Saturday night, but he finished with six points on a disappointing 1-for-9 shooting night. The encouraging sign is that Bates-Diop led the bench in minutes played and took five shots from deep; even if those […]

Derrick Rose Opens Preseason With Strong Play

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose is one of the candidates to jump into the starting lineup while the Timberwolves work out a trade to get rid of Jimmy Butler, but the former MVP has struggled over the past few seasons. On Saturday against the Warriors, Rose showed what he can still do in the […]

Andrew Wiggins Inefficient In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins finds himself thrust into the role of the second option this year with Jimmy Butler set on leaving Minnesota, but Saturday's preseason opener against the Warriors reminded everyone of why Wiggins is tough to trust as he scored 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting and grabbed four rebounds in 25 […]

Maximilian Kleber Huge Off Bench Against Beijing

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maximilian Kleber had an inconsistent role in the team's rotation last year and likely will again in a crowded front court, but he showed in Saturday's preseason opener what he's capable of, finishing with 15 points on 5-for-6 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds. Kleber also made all three of his attempts […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Looks Good In Preseason Opener

Smith Jr. finished with 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting and added in six assists as well. He made one of his three attempts from behind the arc. With the addition […]

DeAndre Jordan Gets Involved As Passer Against Beijing

Week 4 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Well, last week's bust broke the trend of having a quarterback totally destroy my thinking, as Philip Rivers ended up being very good but not, like, astronomically so like when I predicted a Week 1 bust by Patrick Mahomes and a Week 2 bust by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyway, y'all -- it's already Week 4. For […]

Joel Embiid Records Double-Double In Preseason Opener

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid didn't take long to get make to form this preseason, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds in Friday's preseason opener against Melbourne United.

Simmons finished with eight points on 4-for-9 shooting, looking a little […]

Markelle Fultz Looks Sharp Against Melbourne

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz didn't attempt the three pointer that many were hoping to see after offseason concerns about his jump shot, but he did look strong in Philadelphia's preseason victory over Melbourne United. Fultz finished well at the rim and took a few jumpers, finishing with 14 points on 6-for-11 shooting. He added […]

Lauri Markkanen Out 6-8 Weeks

Chicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen has a right elbow sprain and is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks.

Keke Coutee Expected To Play Week 4

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) is no longer listed on the team's injury report and should make his debut on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. What role Coutee will play at this point is unclear, but he projects to be the eventual starter in the slot for the Texans, giving quarterback Deshaun […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Remains Risky Play In Week 4

For the third consecutive game, Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins finished Week 3 with five targets and three receptions. After finishing with a season-low 18 yards, things look just as grim heading into Week 4's meeting with the New York Jets, who've allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to the tight end position this season. […]

Dede Westbrook Not A Good Option In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has seen less targets each week and has fallen behind wide receiver Donte Moncrief in the team's rotation, with Moncrief out-snapping Westbrook 53 to 39 in Week 3. This, plus a meeting with a New York Jets defense that's played well in 2018, spells trouble for anyone who has […]

Keelan Cole Has Flex Potential Against Jets

After a difficult Week 3 against the Titans where the Jacksonville Jaguars didn't find the end zone, there's reason to be hesitant with wide receiver Keelan Cole this week in fantasy lineups. His five-catch, 40-yard performance last week featured hauling in a season-low 55.6 percent of his targets and finishing with his worst yards per […]

Leonard Fournette Is Full Participant In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Fournette is still listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Jets, but he's trending in the right direction. It'll be worth monitoring to see if the team says anything about Fournette being on a […]

Blake Bortles Could Have Rough Day Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles may be in for a rough outing against the New York Jets in Week 4. After failing to find the end zone in Week 3, Bortles takes on a Jets defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and held the Browns without a passing touchdown last […]

Will Fuller Looking To Boom Again In Week 4

The connection between Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller and his quarterback, Deshaun Watson, has been strong thus far in their time together, with Fuller finding the end zone in both of his games this season.
