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. With the Bulls opening their season on October 18th, Markkanen will miss at least some time during the regular season. Jabari Parker can slide down to the four spot in the lineup with Markkanen is out, with […]

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. That could be tested on Sunday against a Colts team that has limited opposing wide receivers all season, but […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains Solid Option Against Colts

On paper, Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has a tough matchup this week against a Colts team that's allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, but Hopkins should see double-digit targets once again as the top option in Houston's passing game, making it impossible for fantasy owners to even consider sitting him.

Lamar Miller Could Produce Against Colts

Time could be running out for Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller, who has seen his carries and yardage drop each week of the season so far. While a last-second touchdown reception saved Miller's Week 3 fantasy line, his 10 carries for 10 yards were a big part of Houston's failings in the loss to […]

Deshaun Watson Presents Some Risk Against Colts

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been an example of how fantasy football production and NFL production don't necessarily this season, with the second-year passer currently scoring as the QB11 despite some serious struggles for Houston's offense. This week, Watson gets a Colts defense that has played well against quarterbacks so far, limiting them to […]

Harrison Barnes Will Miss Time

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes injured his hamstring during practice and will be out "for a while," according to head coach Rick Carlisle and Tim Cato of The Athletic. Barnes is expected to miss the preseason and could see his absence extend into the regular season as well. If that happens, expect to see more […]

Tape Don't Lie - Breaking Down Jordy Nelson's Week 3 Performance

For this week's "Tape Don't Lie," choosing a player to analyze was pretty difficult. There was a rookie wide receiver who caught three touchdowns, but there was also a veteran wide receiver who hauled in six catches for 173 yards and a touchdown, which seemed to come out of thin air after two sub-par games […]

It's Baker Mayfield Time -- Get Your Bids Ready

Thursday night's Jets/Browns game started out as one of those ugh, why are we watching this kind of games, the kind that prompted me to ask on Twitter if two teams had ever tied at zero points apiece (answer: not since 1943) and spend large chunks of the first half washing dishes. Then, Baker Mayfield happened. Browns […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has Productive Game Against Giants

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught six of his 10 targets for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. While it wasn't Hopkins's best outing, it was still a respectable game for Houston's star receiver. With wide receiver Will Fuller receiving 11 targets, it looks like Hopkins's stranglehold on the team's […]

Will Fuller Leads Texans In Receiving Against Giants

For much of Sunday's loss to the Giants, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller looked poised for a disappointing finish, but three receptions in the fourth quarter -- including a six-yard touchdown catch -- helped Fuller finish with a five-catch, 101-yard day. Fuller was targeted a team-high 11 times and was on the field for […]

Lamar Miller Catches Touchdown Against Giants

The Houston Texans running game struggled to get going in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants, with running back Lamar Miller finishing with 10 rushing yards on 10 carries. Miller managed to salvage his day with a late touchdown reception, part of a five-catch, 41-yard day through the air for the back. He also […]

Deshaun Watson Has Good Fantasy Day Against Giants

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to struggle relative to his level of performance during his rookie season, but he salvaged a good fantasy performance in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Watson finished 24-for-40 passing the ball with 385 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He added 36 rushing yards as well. The Texans visit […]

Keelan Cole Disappoints In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole had one of his best career outings in Week 2 against the Patriots, but he wasn't able to build on that in Jacksonville's Week 3 loss to the Titans. Cole was targeted nine times, hauling in five of those passes for 40 yards. It was part of a rough […]

T.J. Yeldon The Bright Spot For Jaguars Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon was one of the only bright spots for fantasy owners in the Jaguars Week 3 loss to the Titans. Yeldon carried the ball seven times for 44 yards while also leading the team in receptions and receiving yards, catching six passes for 46 yards. Yeldon's fantasy value is wrapped […]

Blake Bortles Has Forgettable Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was relatively ineffective in Jacksonville's 9-6 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, finishing with 155 passing yards on 21-for-34 passing. He added 27 rushing yards on five carries. It was a rough day for the Jaguars offensively, who play the Jets next Sunday. Bortles should have an easier time […]

Leonard Fournette Not Expected To Play In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to play in Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans. The team is being careful with their star running back and will once again turn to the combination of T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant to man the position. Yeldon could have some success against the Titans […]

Week 3 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Through two weeks of the NFL season, my hit rate on projecting non-quarterback busts has been pretty strong, but when it comes to predicting which quarterbacks would struggles...man, it's been tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 1... Still, it's Week 3, and we're starting to get some better data to […]

Sleeping in Seattle - Is Russell Wilson No Longer a QB1?

The thing about writing a "bold predictions" article is that you're essentially going 20 percent on data and 80 percent on gut instincts, so when I wrote a few weeks ago that Russell Wilson would finish outside of the top 10 at the quarterback position I definitely felt like there was a chance of it […]

Tape Don't Lie - Breaking Down Keelan Cole's Week 2 Performance

Hey! Welcome back to "Tape Don't Lie," the weekly column where I look at the film and the analytics of a surprising performer from the previous week and try to come to conclusions about his value moving forward! Last week I looked at Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay, who in Week 2 became the first […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins A Risky Week 3 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught a touchdown in Week 2, but with just 48 receiving yards through two games, he's better left out of fantasy lineups. This week, Seferian-Jenkins gets a matchup with the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed just four catches for 51 yards to tight ends during the 2018 season. Tennessee […]

Donte Moncrief Has Deep-League Potential

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief actually leads the team in targets through two games despite struggling to turn those opportunities into production. Moncrief has just 48 receiving yards on the season, but he managed to find the end zone in Week 2 and his target share makes him an intriguing flex option in deep, […]

Dede Westbrook Has Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook may be a bit of a risky play against the Titans in Week 3 after finishing in a three-way tie for fourth on the team in targets in Week 2, but a juicy matchup against Tennessee's shaky passing defense gives Westbrook upside, especially in deeper leagues where his chances […]

Keelan Cole Has Immense Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole is coming off one of the best games of his career, catching seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in a win over New England. He'll look to keep that rolling against one of the worst fantasy defenses against the wide receiver position in Week 3. The Tennessee […]
