Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A broken ankle is going to keep D.J. Chark out for a long while (likely for the entire season), handing a larger receiving role in this offense to Shenault. He was targeted seven times in Week 4 against the Bengals, bringing in six of […]

David Montgomery Ruled Out In Week 4

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Week 4 contest against the Lions. He had 23 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the game. If Montgomery misses time, Damien Williams would be a priority waiver wire addition in leagues where he's available. Williams has […]

David Montgomery Heads To Locker Room

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) has gone to the locker room in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. Montgomery went down in a lot of pain in the fourth quarter, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Montgomery not return to this one. He had 23 carries for 106 yards and two […]

Dalvin Cook Exits Against Browns

While the team has made no announcement about his status, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook limped off of the field earlier in Sunday's game and has yet to return, with Alexander Mattison handling the workload on the past few drives. Cook had six carries for 17 yards and two catches for 10 yards. Keep […]

Dyami Brown, Brandon Scherff Ruled Out

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee) and offensive guard Brandon Scherff (knee) have been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Falcons. Brown had one catch for 19 yards and wasn't going to be playing a big role with Curtis Samuel back. Scherff's absence hurts this offense more, as he's a needed protector […]

Tyler Lockett Active For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hip) will play Sunday against the 49ers. Lockett could be a little bit limited due to his injury, but considering Lockett has a pair of 100-yard receiving games already this season, even a limited Lockett is a must-start play in season-long fantasy leagues. D.K. Metcalf could theoretically see more […]

Melvin Gordon III Active For Week 4

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon (leg, ribs) is officially active for Sunday's game against Baltimore. A limited participant in practice all week, Gordon appears to be in line to lead Denver's running back committee this week. Baltimore is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, making Gordon an intriguing play, […]

Will Fuller Done For The Day Against Colts

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (hand) won't return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He finishes with one catch for six yards. The Dolphins have struggled to move the ball in Sunday's game, but it looks like Albert Wilson would be the main beneficiary of the Fuller injury if the Dolphins can get […]

Ty'Son Williams A Healthy Scratch In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens running back Ty'Son Williams is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Baltimore will roll with the veteran trio of Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman, and Le'Veon Bell, with Murray expected to see the bulk of the work. Williams was the team's lead back over the first two games, with 22 carries […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Active For Week 4

As expected, Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (rib) will play on Sunday against Arizona after missing last week's game against Tampa. Arizona's run defense hasn't been great this season, so consider Henderson a solid fantasy play, though don't be surprised to see his role look a little smaller than it did over […]

Tony Jones Jr. Carted Off The Field

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. (leg) was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Alvin Kamara's backup, Jones has three carries for eight yards in Sunday's game and one catch for a loss of three yards. After having 11 carries in Week 1, Jones had just five […]

Will Fuller Questionable To Return In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He has one catch for six yards so far, but overall is the team's best deep threat. If Fuller doesn't return, Jaylen Waddle and DeVante Parker will see most of the receiving work, especially with Preston Williams […]

Amari Cooper Returns To Game

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had previously been announced as questionable to return after exiting. A healthy Cooper is a dynamic weapon for this Dallas offense and quarterback Dak Prescott, so it's good for this Cowboys offense that Cooper is back in the […]

Logan Thomas Downgraded To Out

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 4 contest against the Falcons. The fact that Thomas went from questionable to out so quickly seems like a bad sign for his availability going forward. Keep an eye on how the team uses backup tight […]

Logan Thomas Questionable To Return In Week 4

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Thomas does not have a reception yet in Sunday's game. Hamstring injuries are always tricky, as the soft-tissue injury can be tough to play through. Don't be surprised if Thomas is done for the day, which […]

Amari Cooper Questionable To Return In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. With Michael Gallup (calf) on the IR, Dallas could be in a precarious position at wide receiver, a position that was a major strength at the start of the year. Of course, Cooper's hamstring issue could end […]

Darnell Mooney Active For Week 4

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Detroit Lions. The Lions allow the 18th-most fantasy points to wide receivers, plus the Bears are starting rookie quarterback Justin Fields, who threw for just 68 yards last week. Those two things taken together mean that fantasy managers should probably avoid […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Travel With Team

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both are out for Week 4 against the Giants, but the duo traveled with the team to New Orleans and were on the field in pregame. ESPN's Jordan Raanan called it a "fairly promising sign." Both receivers could be back in Week 5, […]

Malik Turner To Make Season Debut

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Malik Turner (foot) opened the season on the Injured Reserve, but has been activated and is set to make his 2021 debut on Sunday. In putting him on the active gameday roster, the team has made wide receiver Simi Fehoko a healthy scratch. Turner will likely just play on special teams […]

D'Andre Swift Active For Week 4

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) will play Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Swift practiced all week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- so it's not a surprise to see him suit up. Swift has 289 yards and two touchdowns so far this season and has been a crucial part of a Lions […]

Andy Dalton Inactive For Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 4 contest against the Detroit Lions, with Justin Fields set to start and Nick Foles backing Fields up. Head coach Matt Nagy made a comment during the week that the starting role this week was a "game-time decision," though Nagy ended up making […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Active For Week 4

As expected, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) will return to the field on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Cook missed Week 3, but is averaging 96 rushing yards per game this season, plus has been targeted 10 times in the passing game. The Browns allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game in the […]

Lane Johnson Out For Personal Reasons

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is a surprise inactive due to a personal matter for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chiefs. The veteran tackle's absence likely means Jack Driscoll will step into a bigger role on the Eagles offensive line. The Chiefs will be without some key defenders for this game, so Johnson […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Chevy Silverado 250 (10/2/21)

It's time for Talladega! One of NASCAR's most unpredictable tracks, it almost seems silly to try and suggest fantasy plays for a race that'll be complete chaos. Place differential becomes vital. Drivers starting near the front can kill your lineup in ways they usually don't. Oh, and it's the playoffs, which complicates this even more. […]

Tape Tells All: The New York Jets Are A Mess

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. Usually, I like to keep things positive, but the New York Jets are a mess. The team hasn't scored a touchdown in two consecutive weeks. Now, that's not even close to being […]

DeSean Jackson (WR, LAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sure, this game came against a banged-up Buccaneers defense, but we can't ignore that DeSean Jackson did DeSean Jackson things. Not many players can post 120 yards on just three receptions like Jackson, and it was really interesting to see that he […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Another week of NFL action is behind us. The Bucs lost. The Chiefs lost. Mike Williams continued his breakout season. The Steelers were forced to throw the football to Chase Claypool 15 times. Sports! Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 4. Not all options […]

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was a slow start in Week 3 for the Cardinals, but the team eventually got it together and finished their third-straight game with at least 30 points scored. With Kyler throwing the football, there's going to be a lot of yards available […]
