Dede Westbrook Inactive Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is in active for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. As it's the early London game, fantasy owners should make sure Westbrook is out of their lineups as soon as possible. D.J. Chark is a must-start option against Houston's porous secondary, while Chris Conley has flex appeal.

James Conner Unlikely To Play Against Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) is reportedly unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Colts and could miss Pittsburgh's Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Rams as well. With Benny Snell sidelined as well, the bulk of the rushing attack will fall to Jaylen Samuel on Sunday, who has flex appeal […]

Adam Thielen Expected To Play Against Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. An active Thielen is obviously a must-start in fantasy leagues, even with there likely being some concern about the hamstring. The Chiefs have done a fine job this year limiting fantasy points to opposing receivers, but Thielen's […]

Mark Andrews Still A Starting Option In Unfavorable Matchup

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has fantasy owners cautious going into a Week 9 matchup against the top-ranked Patriots Defense. Andrews only recorded two receptions for 39 yards in Week 7 against the Seahawks, but was targeted eight times. Andrews hasn't been targeted less than seven times in a game this season, but faces […]

Mark Ingram Has Intimidating Week 9 Matchup

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram could have a disappointing game for fantasy owners Sunday night. Ingram's numbers have declined in the past few weeks due to quarterback Lamar Jackson getting more active in the rushing attack. The veteran also hasn't been targeted much as a pass-catcher and is only seeing one-to-three targets a game. […]

Lamar Jackson Still In Starting Territory

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted just 143 passing yards and no touchdowns through the air in Week 7's matchup against the Seahawks. Jackson rebounded for fantasy owners with his legs rushing for 116 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore is coming off a BYE going into Sunday night's Week 9 game against New England. Jackson […]

Devante Parker Has Streaming Appeal On Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has a significant upside against the Jets on Sunday. With 18 targets over the last two games, the 26-year-old has 11 catches for 114 yards, while also hauling in a touchdown in three of his previous four outings. Parker could serve as an adequate streamer against an unimpressive Jets […]

Kalen Ballage Should Stay Benched On Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage will likely continue to yield carries to Mark Walton on Sunday against the Jets. Even with the departure of Kenyan Drake, who is now an Arizona Cardinal, the 23-year-old continues not to be involved in the offense, rushing just six times for 15 yards over the last two games. […]

Mark Walton Has Little Upside In Week 9

Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has a shot at having his best game of the season against the Jets on Sunday. Throughout the last two games, Walton is averaging nearly 13 carries, and though he has yet to find the end zone, he will likely continue to be more involved than Kalen Ballage, at […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick With Favorable Matchup On Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will look for his first win of 2019 against the Jets on Sunday. The 36-year-old is having one of the worst seasons of his lengthy career, throwing seven interceptions throughout six games, with only five touchdowns to go along with a shoddy 59.7 completion percentage. Fitzpatrick does have a decent […]

Demarcus Robinson is a Desperation Flex

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has seen his fantasy value dip since the team got healthy. He'll split time with Mecole Hardman since Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are both playing now. Robinson caught both his targets for six yards in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. Hardman at least hauled his […]

Mecole Hardman is Difficult to Trust in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been reliable for the team this season, but he'll lose value with Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins back healthy. Hardman caught two passes for 55 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 8. Those were his only two targets of the game because he splits […]

Travis Kelce Can Be Leaned On in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been a reliable option for the team and fantasy owners all season long. He caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. Kelce did not lose targets with veteran Matt Moore at quarterback. There's […]

Sammy Watkins Remains A WR3 Against Minnesota

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins returned last week against the Packers and performed well in the Week 8 loss. He caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in that one. It wasn't a great game, but he performed well with veteran Matt Moore as his quarterback. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has […]

Tyreek Hill Has Tough Matchup in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has three touchdowns and finished with at least 70 yards in each of the last three games. He's been exactly what fantasy owners have needed since coming back from injury in Week 6. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has hurt his value. He'll get a tough matchup […]

LeSean McCoy Should Have Low-End RB2 Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has seen a majority of the carries in the backfield for the team over the last few weeks. Lead back Damien Williams has not been used as much lately, which is making McCoy a better fantasy option. However, McCoy heads into a tough matchup against the Vikings Defense. […]

Damien Williams is Risky Versus Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams finished with a season-high 30 rushing yards in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. The fact 30 yards is his best running performance of the season is discouraging. Veteran LeSean McCoy seems to get most of the touches over the last few weeks. Williams has only […]

Matt Moore Has Low-End Value in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played fairly well in the Week 8 loss to the Packers, but fantasy owners shouldn't lean on the veteran. He completed 24 of 36 passing attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been practicing and has a chance to suit up versus the […]

Patrick Mahomes Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has a chance to play in Week 9 against the Vikings, according to sources. Mahomes took second-team repetitions in limited practices all week, but he'll be a game-time decision. The 2018 MVP will be a must-start if he's active despite a tough matchup against the Vikings, and his […]

Packers Activate Jace Sternberger From IR

The Green Bay Packers activated rookie tight end Jace Sternberger (ankle) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday. Sternberger was the 75th overall pick in the third round out of Texas A&M and has some intrigue in the long term as a pass-catching tight end. It's unlikely that he'll carve out a big role in his […]

Tra Carson Placed On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed running back Tra Carson (hamstring) on the Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed running back Paul Perkins to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Carson surprisingly led the Kerryon Johnson-less backfield in carries last week, but he'll now miss the rest of the season. Rookie Ty […]

Steelers Waive Donte Moncrief

The Pittsburgh Steelers waived wide receiver Donte Moncrief on Saturday and promoted running back Tony Brooks-James to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Moncrief never made an impact in Pittsburgh, and he never really had a chance once quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) was lost for the season. The 26-year-old caught just four passes (15 […]

Noah Fant Is A Risky Play Against Browns

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant is a risky play in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns with new quarterback Brandon Allen under center for the Broncos. Fant has had a rough start to his rookie year and this week will be Brandon Allen's first game under center, which doesn't bode well for Fant's stock. […]

Courtland Sutton Faces New Challenge In Week 9

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton faces another change in Week 9, as he has a new quarterback at the helm passing him balls. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco is out due to injury and Brandon Allen is in for his first NFL start. There is no reason to panic in regard to Sutton's production, as […]

Ryan Succop Activated, Cody Parkey Released

The Tennessee Titans activated kicker Ryan Succop (knee) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday and waived Cody Parkey in a corresponding move. Succop resumed practicing with the team last month and will kick in Week 9 against the Panthers. Parkey kicked in the team's last three games after being signed to replace Cairo Santos, who […]

Matt LaCosse Ruled Out For Sunday Night

New England Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night. Ryan Izzo (concussion) is questionable, but Benjamin Watson should continue to function as the primary pass-catching tight end. The 38-year-old has four catches (six targets) for 44 scoreless yards in his two games this […]

Packers Defense A Decent Option For Week 9

The Green Bay Packers Defense will face off against Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Rivers has only been sacked 14 times in eight games but has thrown seven interceptions this year, tied for 20th in the NFL. The Packer come into Week 9 with 20 sacks, 15th in the NFL, […]

Chiefs Activate Chad Henne From Injured Reserve

The Kansas City Chiefs activated quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday, which is another indication that Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss another week. The Chiefs will work Henne out before the game against the Vikings to see if he'll be active as Matt Moore's backup. With Mahomes on track to return […]

Drew Lock To Resume Practicing Soon

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) is expected to resume practicing ahead of the Week 11 game against the Vikings. Lock has been on Injured Reserve all season, but it looks like he'll be designated to return, especially now that Joe Flacco's (neck) season is over. In the meantime, Denver will roll with Brandon […]

Mason Crosby A Solid Start In Week 9

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a strong first half of the year. The 35-year-old made at least two field goals or two extra-points in seven of eight games. He's 11 of 12 on field goals and has made all 26 extra-points this year. Playing on a Packers team that scores 26.9 points per […]
