Should I Pick Up George Pickens? Week 5 Waiver Wire Outlook

The Pittsburgh Steelers did it—they put Kenny Pickett in at quarterback. And putting Pickett in was also a key in sparking a big game from another rookie: wide receiver George Pickens. Pickens caught six passes for 102 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jets. It was Pickens' best game by a mile so far in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Sees Eight Targets In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had another solid game on Sunday against the Buccaneers, catching five of his eight targets for 46 yards. Smith-Schuster has been targeted eight times in three of the four games so far and while he hasn't had a 100-yard game or found the end zone yet, he's still […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Catches Three Passes In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was targeted five times in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, hauling in three of them for 63 yards. It was the most yards that MVS has had in a game this season. Expected to be a field-stretching threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Valdes-Scantling has mostly been unable to […]

Travis Kelce Gets Going Early

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught a 16-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, setting the tone early for how his day would go. Kelce led the Chiefs in targets with 10, hauling in nine of them for 92 yards. Kelce is the No. 1 target […]

Jerick McKinnon Quiet In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon had seen his usage rise over the past few games, but that changed on Sunday against the Buccaneers, as McKinnon had just two of the team's 37 rushing attempts. He lost a yard on the ground and caught his only target for one yard. Even worse for McKinnon's […]

Isiah Pacheco Sees Big Workload In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had 12 carries back in Week 1, but his role with the offense plummeted the next two weeks. That changed in Week 4 against the Buccaneers, as Pacheco saw 11 carries for 63 yards, with much of his work coming in the second half. He finished with a […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Finds End Zone Twice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire carried the ball 19 times in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finishing with 92 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a two-yard touchdown, his lone reception. Edwards-Helaire's usage had been a concern coming into this game, but he re-established himself as the leader of the […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Three Touchdowns In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faced a tough matchup on Sunday against the NFL's best scoring defense, but he was able to connect with his receivers for three touchdowns in the win over the Buccaneers. Mahomes was 23-for-37 for 249 yards in the game. He threw one interception and added 34 yards on the […]

Jordan Akins Catches Two Passes In Week 4

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught a touchdown in Week 3, but this week against the Chargers, he was held to two receptions for 33 yards. If you thought that his touchdown last week might have been a sign of things to come, it looks like that isn't the case. The Houston tight end […]

Rex Burkhead Catches Touchdown In Week 4

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead was targeted five times in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, catching all five passes for 39 yards and a touchdown. But Burkhead didn't see a single touch in the run game, as all 14 carries for the team went to Dameon Pierce. Burkhead's receiving work would make him a […]

Brandin Cooks Finds End Zone In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught all seven of his targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, finishing with seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown. Cooks continues to be the No. 1 option for quarterback Davis Mills, but it isn't by the overwhelming margin that was anticipated, which has lowered his floor. […]

Nico Collins Leads Team In Receiving Yards In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a 58-yard reception from quarterback Davis Mills in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, and that one reception for Collins was for more yardage than any other Texans player had in total on the day. All in all, Collins had three catches for 82 yards. There have been some […]

Dameon Pierce Has Another Strong Outing

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce continues to establish himself as one of the NFL's top young backs. In Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Pierce had 14 carries, finishing with 131 yards, with 75 of those yards coming on one long touchdown run. He also had six receptions for eight yards. Houston's offense at […]

Davis Mills Throws Two Picks In Week 4

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 26-for-35 for 246 yards in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He had a pair of touchdowns, but also was picked off twice. This was the second time this season that Mills has thrown multiple touchdowns, but it was also the second week in a row that he's […]

Yellawood 500 at Talladega DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Talladega on Sunday for the second race of the Round of 12. Through four playoff races, no active playoff driver has won—the first three races were won by non-playoff drivers, while last week at Texas, the already-eliminated Tyler Reddick drove to victory lane. The biggest storyline heading into this […]

Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy F1 Lineup Picks

Formula 1 heads to Singapore this weekend for the Singapore Grand Prix. It's been a few weeks since the last race—the cancelation of the Russian Grand Prix meant that 9/11/22 was the last time these cars hit the track for the Italian Grand Prix, which Max Verstappen won. It was his fifth win in a […]

Chiefs Defense Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Kansas City Chiefs defense is a risky fantasy play in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the Bucs rank 22nd in scoring offense this season, they still have Tom Brady at quarterback plus an offensive system that can make big plays happen. Because of the matchup, the Chiefs defense is a fade […]

Jerick McKinnon Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has seen an increased role as the season has gone along, with McKinnon now appearing to share this backfield with Clyde Edwards-Helaire in a near split. McKinnon had seven carries last week, but finished with just 20 yards. With a tough Buccaneers defense on deck this weekend, McKinnon […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has put up some strong numbers so far this season, but a lot of his production has come from touchdowns. Last week, he found the end zone, but totaled zero yards on seven carries. Regression is likely coming for Edwards-Helaire. A Week 4 matchup against a Buccaneers team […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is a WR3 play for Sunday night's contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Smith-Schuster has had two good showings since joining the Chiefs, but sandwiched in the middle was a 10-yard game against the Chargers. Tampa Bay allows fewer points per game than any team in the NFL, […]

Travis Kelce - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hasn't been as dominant this season as he has in the past, but he remains one of the top tight ends in the NFL and in fantasy football. Kelce has been targeted at least seven times in each game and he's found the end zone twice already, plus […]

Patrick Mahomes - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is always a must-start player in season-long fantasy leagues, but Sunday night's matchup against the Buccaneers projects to be a tough one, making him a potential fade in DFS. The Bucs allows the 12th-fewest passing yards per game this season and the fewest points per game, with opponents averaging […]

Texans Defense Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Houston Texans defense is a risky fantasy option this week against the high-powered Chargers. Even with wide receiver Keenan Allen out, Justin Herbert and the Chargers have one of the league's top offenses, ranking second in the NFL in passing yards per game. Houston has been decent against the pass, allowing the 11th-fewest passing […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn's Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been a consistent player so far this season, making all seven of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra point attempts. Houston's offense has been decent at getting into field goal range and bad at finishing drives, which has helped give Fairbairn opportunities. That trend is […]

Nico Collins' Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had just two receptions for 41 yards in Week 3 against the Bears. Heading into this week's meeting with the Chargers, Collins is a low-end flex option at best in deep leagues. He was targeted nine times back in Week 2, so there's always a chance that quarterback Davis […]

Brandin Cooks' Week 4 Oulook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was thought to be a high-floor WR2/3 option in fantasy this season, but the Texans have spread the ball around more than anticipated so far. With a tough matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Cooks is more of a WR3/4 play than a WR2/3 play. He'll still likely lead […]

Dameon Pierce's Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is a fantasy RB2 option this week against a Chargers team that allows more rushing yards per game than any other NFL team. Pierce opened the season in a timeshare with Rex Burkhead, but he's emerged as the clear No. 1 option on this team and saw 20 carries […]

Davis Mills' Week 4 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is a risky fantasy football option for Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. While LA has allowed the 20th-most passing yards per game this season, the Chargers have also faced the Chiefs already, which has skewed that number. Mills threw for a season-high 245 yards last week, but was […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Sparks 300 (10/1/22)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Talladega for the second race of the Round of 12. Last week, Noah Gragson clinched a spot in the next round by winning at Texas, his fourth consecutive victory this season. Gragson swept the Xfinity Series in September. But now, we head to Talladega, the kind of place where […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Chevy Silverado 250 (10/1/22)

Just three races remain on the Truck Series schedule this season. Saturday, the Trucks will run the second race of the Round of 8. Ty Majeski won last race at Bristol to look his way into the Championship 4. Will someone join him, or will we see someone not in the playoff picture win on […]
