Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Vince Velasquez allowed one run in six innings to earn his first win of the season Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Darius Slayton Looking To Keep Momentum Versus Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a huge game in Week 1 going for 100-plus yards and two touchdowns on six catches. Slayton tied with Saquon Barkley for the team lead with nine targets and will look to stay hot in a favorable matchup with the Bears in Week 2. Slayton had a […]

Giants Defense Not In Play For Week 2

The New York Giants Defense is not a strong unit for fantasy and managers should look elsewhere for a D/ST in Week 2. The Giants had just two sacks in Week 1 and only forced one turnover from a forced fumble. New York was gashed on the ground by Benny Snell Jr last week so […]

Evan Engram Still A Viable Starter In Fantasy

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was a massive letdown for fantasy managers on Monday night as he caught just two passes for nine yards vs Pittsburgh. He'll have an easier matchup in Week 2 vs the Bears and should still be considered a starting tight end for fantasy. Engram struggled in Week 1 […]

Daniel Jones Has A Better Matchup In Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled somewhat in Week 1 as he turned the ball over twice, but he also had some encouraging throws and will face an easier matchup in Week 2 at Chicago.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley left fantasy managers out in the cold on Monday night as he ran for just six yards on 15 carries vs a stout Steelers Defense.

Washington Defense Faces Tough Task At Arizona

Thomas caught four of eight targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 and now gets to face an Arizona defense that allowed the most […]

Steven Sims Jr. Should Be More Involved Vs Cardinals

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr only saw three targets last week, but should be more involved in Week 2 vs Arizona. Sims caught all three targets and turned them into 50 yards in a game where Washington only threw the ball 31 times. The Football Team will likely need to throw more […]

Terry McLaurin Faces Tough Matchup In Week 2

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a tough matchup in Week 1 vs Darius Slay and will face another top-flight cornerback in Week 2 at Arizona. Cornerback Patrick Peterson allowed just one catch on three targets last week and will undoubtedly be tasked with covering the one, true receiving threat on the Washington […]

Antonio Gibson Looking to Bounce Back Versus Arizona

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson was overshadowed by Peyton Barber in Week 1, but the rookie should be in a better position to score fantasy points this week at Arizona. Gibson only handled nine carries last week, but most of that was due to the team having a lead in the fourth quarter […]

Peyton Barber A Risky Start Vs Cardinals

Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber scored two touchdowns in Week 1, but remains a risky fantasy option ahead of a date with the Cardinals. Arizona's defense limited Raheem Mostert to 56 yards on 15 carries last week and Barber wasn't exactly effective despite the two touchdown performance. Barber had just 29 yards on […]

Dwayne Haskins A Low-End QB2 For Week 2

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins played a solid game vs Philadelphia in Week 1 and will look to build on that performance in his first road test of 2020.

Roman Quinn Swipes 10th Base Of 2020

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base in a win over the Blue Jays Friday.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin threw a seven-inning complete game shutout versus the Blue Jays in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

Bryce Harper Takes 0-for-5 To Continue Rough September

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 0-for-5 in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday dropping his September batting average to .175.

Mike Fiers Tames Coors Field For Win

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers allowed one earned run in six innings pitched to earn a win at Colorado on Wednesday.
