Brandin Cooks Struggles In Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks predictably led the team in targets on Sunday with seven, but he caught just two of those for 22 yards. He finished the game fifth on the team in receiving yardage. Cooks was supposedly to be a high-floor fantasy play this week because of his role in this offense, […]

Jordan Akins Catches Touchdown In Week 3

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins had three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Akins had been on the Texans practice squad and hadn't appeared in the first two game. Considering he was only elevated because Brevin Jordan (ankle) was out, Akins can safely be left on […]

Nico Collins Catches Two Passes In Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted four times in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, pulling in two of the passes for 41 yards. Collins is the No. 2 receiver on this Texans team, a role that would normally hold fantasy value. But with the Texans having a fairly low passing volume and […]

Chris Moore Leads Texans In Receiving Yards

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore led the team in receiving yards on Sunday against the Bears, finishing with 63 yards on three receptions. Of those yards, 52 came on one play. Moore's not going to put up numbers like these most weeks, so fantasy managers can go ahead and leave him on the waiver […]

Rex Burkhead Quiet Against Bears

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead has seen his role with the Texans fall off since the start of the season. On Sunday against the Bears, Burkhead had just three carries, finishing with nine rushing yards. He was targeted five times, hauling in four catches for 21 yards, so it's not like Burkhead didn't have […]

Dameon Pierce Has Strong Showing In Week 3

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce was the lone fantasy bright spot in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. The rookie had 20 carries in the game, finishing with 80 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for 21 yards. After splitting snaps with Rex Burkhead in Week 1, Pierce has now […]

Davis Mills Picked Off Twice In Loss

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 20-for-32 in Sunday's loss to the Bears, throwing for 245 yards. He had one touchdown pass to Jordan Akins but was picked off twice. Mills hadn't thrown an interception in the first two weeks. Mills has a low floor and a low ceiling in fantasy, so he's best left […]

Mecole Hardman Sees Drop In Usage

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman was targeted just once in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, catching the pass for two yards. After being targeted 10 times over the first two games, Hardman saw a major drop in usage this week. Hardman was starting to sneak onto the fantasy radar, but Sunday's game […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Catches Four Balls

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was targeted seven times in Sunday's loss to the Colts, finishing with four receptions for 48 yards. It was his best game of the season by yardage. Valdes-Scantling has seen a decent amount of targets this year, but he hasn't been used as the home run threat that […]

Travis Kelce Catches Touchdown In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. His eight targets were tied for the team lead. Kelce has now been targeted at least seven times in each game and has two touchdown receptions this season. He doesn't necessarily look […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Bounces Back In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster struggled in Week 2, finishing with just 10 receiving yards. He bounced back on Sunday against the Colts though, as he led the Chiefs in receiving yards, pulling down five passes for 89 yards. His eight targets were tied for the team lead. Smith-Schuster has now had two […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Finishes With Zero Rushing Yards

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire found the end zone in Sunday's loss to the Colts, salvaging what was an otherwise disappointing day. Edwards-Helaire run the ball seven times, finishing with zero rushing yards. He did catch five passes for 39 yards, tying for the team lead in receptions. Jerick McKinnon ate into CEH's […]

Patrick Mahomes Relatively Quiet Against Colts

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn't have his usual dominant game on Sunday against the Colts, throwing just one touchdown and his first interception of the season in the 20-17 loss. Mahomes was 20-for-35 for 262 yards and also added 26 yards on the ground. It was a disappointing showing from the Chiefs, but […]

AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Texas on Sunday for the first race of the Round of 12. Tyler Reddick, Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon and Kevin Harvick were all eliminated from the playoffs in the last round—interesting that all are past, present or future RCR drivers, hmm? Now, we start the next three-race round, with […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Texas Andy's Frozen Custard 300 (9/24/22)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Texas this weekend for the first race of the Xfinity Series playoffs. 12 drivers are alive in the race for the 2022 title. After the points were reset and the playoff points were added to those reset points, Noah Gragson begins the playoffs with a 13-point lead over second-place […]

Texans Defense Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Houston Texans defense has some fantasy appeal in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears based on how Chicago's offense and Houston's defense have played this season. The Texans have allowed the ninth-fewest points per game this season, while the Bears rank last in the NFL in passing yards per game. Trusting the Texans defense […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has had a solid start to the season, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. Houston's troubles moving the football have provided Fairbairn with four attempts from between 40 and 45 yards so far. Still, he's a 84.4% career kicker on an offense that struggles to move […]

Rex Burkhead's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead looked like Houston's No. 1 back in Week 1 against the Colts, when he carried the ball 14 times. But last week, Burkhead had zero carries against the Broncos, though he did have a pair of receptions for nine yards. Burkhead was a popular waiver add after Week 1, […]

Nico Collins' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a risky fantasy option on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Collins saw a threefold increase in targets last week, going from three to nine, but he could only finish with four catches for 58 yards. The increased volume is encouraging, but it would be good to see that […]

Dameon Pierce's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is an interesting RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 3 as the Texans take on the Chicago Bears. Chicago has allowed 189 rushing yards per game this season, the most in the league. Pierce looked like he was buried behind Rex Burkhead on the depth chart in Week […]

Brandin Cooks' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a low-ceiling, high-floor play in fantasy football in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. Cooks has gotten a lot of opportunities this season, with 22 targets through the first two games, but issues with his quarterback's accuracy and this team's overall struggles mean that Cooks hasn't really performed […]

Davis Mills' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is a risky fantasy play on Sunday against a Chicago Bears team that has allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards per game so far this season. While some of that can be attributed to poor weather conditions, this Bears defense still looks to be a little too good for fantasy managers […]

Chiefs Defense Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has immense upside in Week 3 against a Colts team that was shut out by the Jaguars last week. The Colts rank last in the NFL in points scored per game and have a minus-four takeaway differential through two games. The Chiefs defense hasn't been great this season, as the […]

Matt Ammendola's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Matt Ammendola will kick once again this week with Harrison Butker (ankle) sidelined. Last week in his Chiefs debut, Ammendola was 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra points, though his longest field goal attempt was just 31 yards. Ammendola should have plenty of kicking chances because of this […]

Travis Kelce's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was relatively quiet last week, catching five passes for 51 yards against the Chargers. But the fact that that represents a "quiet" day for Kelce is proof of why he's the top tight end in fantasy football. Kelce serves as the No. 1 pass-catching weapon on this high-powered […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling hasn't done much in his time with KC so far. Last week, he was targeted seven times but managed to catch just two passes for 13 yards. Valdes-Scantling was expected to serve as the primary deep threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but that hasn't panned out so far. […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is a risky fantasy play heading into Week 3's contest against the Colts because of his struggles last week. Against the Chargers, Smith-Schuster finished with three catches for just 10 yards. He's still worthy of flex consideration after he was targeted eight times in the opener, but Smith-Schuster […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a solid fantasy RB2 play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Edwards-Helaire hasn't gotten a ton of rushing attempts this season, but he's made the most of the ones he's had, as he averaged 9.25 yards per carry last week against the Chargers. CEH also has two […]

Patrick Mahomes' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be started in all fantasy formats for Sunday's road contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Mahomes has already thrown seven touchdown passes through two games and now meets with a Colts defense that allowed Trevor Lawrence to go 25-for-30 last week. Mahomes is a top fantasy option this week […]

Panic Meter Check for Slow Fantasy Starts - Kyle Pitts, Travis Etienne, Darnell Mooney, Russell Wilson, JuJu Smith-Schuster

We're now two weeks into this NFL season. After one week, it's fine to see a player struggle and say "ehh, whatever, it's one week." After two weeks, it could still be fine to say that, but it could also very much not be fine. That's what we're here to do today: look at a handful […]
