Visiting Ravens An Excellent Matchup For Justin Jefferson

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 option when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed opposing teams to score on 48% of their drives, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL. Baltimore ranks 23rd against PPR receivers this season and has allowed the seventh-most air yards on […]

Flex Potential For Jordan Addison In Week 10

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a suitable WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The third-year receiver is coming off back-to-back underwhelming weeks, but should step into a friendlier matchup against a Ravens secondary that ranks 23rd against PPR receivers. The Vikings earned their biggest win of […]

Jalen Nailor Off the Fantasy Radar Against Ravens

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor made the catch of the game last week to seal a big victory at Detroit, but the receiver's low volume should keep him out of lineups in most leagues when the Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens. The Vikings have called upon the former Michigan State standout in […]

Difficult Circumstances For T.J. Hockenson In Week 10

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should be considered a low-end TE2 option with his team taking on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The veteran burned his former team, the Detroit Lions, with a touchdown catch last week, but Minnesota completed only 14 passes for 143 yards behind first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, albeit […]

Will Reichard A Middle-Of-The-Pack Option Against Ravens

Kicker Will Reichard should be considered an average fantasy option when his Minnesota Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Baltimore ranks 24th against fantasy kickers on the season, but has seen its defense come to life in the past month. The Ravens have held their past three opponents to an average […]

Cowboys Defensive End Marshawn Kneeland Passes Away

The Dallas Cowboys announced on Thursday that second-year defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland passed away on Thursday morning. A second-year player from Western Michigan, Kneeland was just 24 years old. The team did not announce a cause of death. Kneeland appeared in 18 games during the past two seasons, registering 26 tackles and a sack. In […]

Brock Bowers Among The Best Week 10 Options

Despite his team's struggles, Las Vegas Raiders right end Brock Bowers is a must-start tight end in a Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The second-year superstar from Georgia returned from a knee injury with a three-touchdown, week-winning performance last time out, and there's no reason to stray from him against Denver. The Broncos […]

Tre Tucker a Wild Card in Thursday Game Against Denver

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is perhaps this week's most unpredictable fantasy player when his team takes on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. The Raiders granted receiver Jakobi Meyers' trade request this week by shipping the veteran to Jacksonville, which figures to make Tucker the team's No. 2 option behind tight […]

Stingy Broncos Defense Awaits Ashton Jeanty on Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty should be viewed as a quality RB2 option when the Raiders take on a quality Denver Broncos defense on Thursday. The rookie from Boise State has been something of a letdown, given where he was taken in most preseason fantasy drafts, but he has such control over the […]

Geno Smith a Fringe Superflex Play on Thursday Night

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith is a low-end Superflex option with his team playing an excellent Denver Broncos defense on Thursday. The veteran was a superb fantasy quarterback after his resurgence with Seattle in 2022, but this season had been mostly diminishing returns until a four-touchdown outburst last week against Jacksonville. Even after his […]

Pat Bryant a Touchdown-Dependent Streamer on Thursday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant should be left out of lineups in most formats when his team takes on the Las Vegas Raiders in the Thursday Night Football game for Week 10. The rookie from Illinois has earned more playing time as the season has progressed, appearing in more than half of Denver's offensive […]

Dynasty League Cut List - Top Fantasy Football Drop Candidates for Week 10

Now that the trade deadline has passed, we have some clarity about rest-of-season rosters in the NFL. We know which teams are going for it, which teams stayed pat, and (mostly) which ones are playing out the string.  For dynasty purposes, this week is a helpful point in the season. We’ll begin to see which […]

Vikings To Lean On Run Game Led By Aaron Jones Sr.?

The Minnesota Vikings found their running game behind Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) last week in a win against the Detroit Lions, and head coach Kevin O'Connell said the success was something the team sorely needed. "There was an element of play style and physicality that needed to be found, and I thought we did those […]

Jordan Mason In Uncertain Role Going Forward?

Though Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) left Sunday's win at Detroit, the team does not believe the injury is serious, which could mean a changing role for fellow running back Jordan Mason. The first-year Viking held down the backfield in Jones' absence with a hamstring injury, but Jones was the more effective […]

Better Days Ahead For Vikings' Passing Attack?

Health has been part of the problem for the Minnesota Vikings this season, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) and right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee) ended up "in a really positive place healthwise" after beating Detroit. The offensive line has been a major issue this season, as the Vikings have […]

First-Round Pick Dallas Turner Plays Sparingly In Big Win

The Minnesota Vikings played their most thorough defensive game of the season on Sunday in a victory against the Detroit Lions, but former first-round pick Dallas Turner did not see much involvement in the big win. Despite the Vikings getting their best performance of the season along the line of scrimmage, the second-year player from […]

C.J. Stroud Questionable To Return Against Broncos With Head Injury

The Houston Texans said that quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos after taking a big hit to his head in the first half. The Texans' franchise QB will be evaluated in the meantime, but he looked clearly shaken up as he walked off the field. If […]

Browns Unlikely to Move David Njoku at Trade Deadline

Despite the Cleveland Browns being well out of the playoff hunt and seeing the emergence of a rookie tight end, the team is unlikely to move veteran tight end David Njoku at the trade deadline, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Harold Fannin Jr., a rookie from Bowling Green, has been one of the team's few […]

Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith To Split Carries Sunday

The Kansas City Chiefs intend to split carries between running backs Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Kansas City will be without Isiah Pacheco (knee) this week, and it looks as if the team will employ a committee approach in […]

Struggling Vikings To Bring J.J. McCarthy Back Into Lineup

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is set to return to the starting lineup on Sunday against Detroit, but the biggest question for fantasy managers should be whether the team can keep him upright. The Vikings, who have the second-worst sack rate in the league, are coming off a miserable showing last week in which […]

Tough Matchup Facing Aaron Jones Sr. In Week 9

When the Minnesota Vikings travel to play the Detroit Lions in Week 9, running back Aaron Jones Sr. should be considered a volatile RB3/flex option with the Vikings' offense currently struggling. Minnesota played almost all of its most recent game with three backups on the offensive line, which manifested in an awful showing of 146 […]

Struggling Line, Difficult Matchup Damper Jordan Mason's Week 9 Outlook

Coming off his worst game of the season, Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason looks to have tough sledding again in Week 9 against the Detroit Lions. Only three teams in the NFL have allowed fewer rushing yards than Detroit, which is holding opposing teams to an average of 87.7 rushing yards. Further, the former […]

Quality Matchup For Justin Jefferson In Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings have struggled immensely in recent weeks, but wide receiver Justin Jefferson remains a clear WR1 with his team set to travel to Detroit in Week 9. Even though Detroit has had the better of the division matchup in recent years, Jefferson has tormented the Lions during his career. In just 10 games […]

Jordan Addison A Playable Option As Vikings Take On Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison remains a quality WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Detroit Lions in a Week 9 meeting of NFC North foes. It remains to be seen how the USC product meshes with starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, with whom Addison has never appeared in a regular-season game. McCarthy has […]

Jalen Nailor A Possible Deep Streamer In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor will have some outside streaming appeal in deep leagues when the Vikings travel to play the Detroit Lions in Week 9. The former Michigan State Spartan has played at least 59% of the team's offensive snaps in every game this season, and he's drawn at least four targets in […]

Tough Sledding Ahead For T.J. Hockenson Against Former Team

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should be viewed as a TE2 option when he takes on his former team, the Detroit Lions, in Week 9. It's been a disappointing season so far for Hockenson, who hasn't quite looked the same since an ACL tear in late 2023 and now ranks as the No. 22 […]

Will Reichard Out Of Starting Territory In Difficult Week 9 Matchup

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard should be avoided in most formats when the Vikings travel to Detroit in Week 9. Not only have the Vikings struggled on offense, ranking 31st in the league in sack rate, but they'll be reintroducing quarterback J.J. McCarthy after he missed the past five games with an ankle injury. Detroit […]

Tanner Conner Not A Week 9 Fantasy Option Despite Dolphins' Injuries

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game […]

Ollie Gordon II Outside Starting Range In Week 9

Fantasy managers in most standard formats should not start rookie running back Ollie Gordon II when the Miami Dolphins play host to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9. Despite coming off his best game in the NFL with 66 total yards and a touchdown last week, the rookie isn't earning enough touches to be relied […]

Malik Washington A High-Risk, High-Reward Streamer In Week 9

Wide receiver Malik Washington of the Miami Dolphins is a risky option, but one with some upside when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. The matchup is a good one for Washington, who will see a Ravens defense that ranks 27th against fantasy receivers and has struggled to defend the pass. […]
