Dante Pettis Returning In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) will play in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The second-round rookie has been out since Week 5 but isn’t on the injury report for this week’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Pettis has three catches for 96 yards and a touchdown on seven targets this season. […]

Peyton Barber Has Opportunity Against Bengals

The Bengals' defense has not been good this season and they are now missing their top two linebackers Sunday against the Buccaneers. Running back Peyton Barber is officially listed as healthy after dealing with an ankle injury throughout the week, as a result, he should continue to carry the bulk of the backfield work. Barber […]

O.J. Howard a Strong Play Against Cincinnati

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is in play as a TE1 Sunday in Cincinnati. Howard has been excellent all season long and will look to continue his breakout season Sunday. The former first-round pick will be facing a Bengals defense that is missing its two top linebackers, Nick Vigil and Vontaze Burfict. Howard might even […]

DeSean Jackson, Chris Godwin Remain Flex Options

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin are every-week flex plays given their production throughout the season thus far. Jackson started off the year scorching but has come back down in recent weeks. Godwin has been a consistent threat throughout the year to get a few catches, 50 yards, and a touchdown. […]

Mike Evans a Low-End WR1 Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been much better this year than in 2017. He is making plays all over the field and proving that he is more than just a tall receiver. This Sunday in Cincinnati, he will have another chance to show out but conditions will be tough. Evans will likely line up […]

Case Keenum Once Again an Afterthought

Weeks 5 and 6 saw Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum average 349.5 passing yards while tossing four touchdown passes -- exceeding his total of three from the three games prior -- and averaging 20.3 fantasy points per game. But, just when we thought he'd turned the corner and returned to the QB we saw lead […]

Jared Cook Set For Another Consistent Performance This Week

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook is in a favorable spot this Sunday against the Colts. Cook has four or more receptions in five of their six games this season, which should only be on the rise as the Raiders traded away wide receiver Amari Cooper. Cook was already a favorite target of quarterback Derek […]

Martavis Bryant Should See Larger Role In The Offense

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant is now the No. 2 receiver and is in a spot for more targets this week against the Colts. Bryant was the clear number three receiver but now with Amari Cooper being traded to the Cowboys, Bryant should be seeing plenty of opportunity in the passing game. He has […]

Jordy Nelson Is New No. 1 Receiver

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson is the new No. 1 receiver and is set for more usage in the offense this week against the Colts. With the Raiders trading Amari Cooper to the Cowboys, Nelson is now the top receiving option. He is averaging five targets per game this season, which should be on […]

Jalen Richard Ready For More Touches This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard is ready for a larger role in this Sunday's game against the Colts. Richard is the Raiders pass-catching running back and has six or more catches in four of their six games this season. With Doug Martin seeing the rushing work, Richard brings strong PPR value this week as […]

Doug Martin Set For Expanded Role This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is set to take over the starting role this Sunday against the Colts. With Marshawn Lynch going to IR with an injury, Martin will take over most of the rushing work, with Jalen Richard continuing to see the passing work. Martin only has 27 carries for 99 yards on […]

Derek Carr Needs To Perform In Favorable Matchup

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a favorable matchup this week against the Colts and must step up with a big game. The Raiders are in freefall right now with questions surrounding Carr, the locker room and the coaching staff. Not the mention they traded away Amari Cooper their number one receiver. Carr is facing […]

Sebastian Janikowski Is Money

In the last five games, Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski has made 21 of 23 kicks he's attempted. Seven of those makes have been field goals, and six of those have been from 40+ yards. Janikowski is one of just seven kickers to have kicked 17 or more extra points and still make all of […]

David Moore Is A Long-Shot Play Again

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore has done it the last two weeks, but can he do it again in Detroit? Moore is Seattle's clear No. 3 receiver, but his acrobatic catches and incredible hands have landed him three touchdowns in the last five passes he's caught. Moore's performances have landed him on highlight reels […]

Doug Baldwin Looking To Build On London Game

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin finally looked like his old self when he was in London. Baldwin has been dealing with a balky knee all season, and it's expected to continue to be a hindrance as the year goes on, but he didn't look slowed down by it against the Raiders. Baldwin posted 91 […]

Tyler Lockett Should Continue Good Season

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner Tyler Lockett was dealt a bit of a bad hand in London two weeks ago when he only racked up 13 yards on three catches, but one of them was for a touchdown, giving him a respectable fantasy performance anyway. This week against Detroit, he should get a chance to post […]

K.J. Wright Expected To Debut Sunday

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright is finally expected to make his season debut on Sunday against the Lions. Wright has been sidelined since August due to arthroscopic knee surgery, and he talked with reporters at length about how difficult it was to sit at home and watch road games instead of getting to be with […]

Colts Defense a Strong Play Against Oakland

The Indianapolis Colts defense is coming off of a highly productive week in which they only allowed 303 offensive yards and five points total while recording two sacks and five takeaways. The Oakland Raiders, who currently have the third-worst turnover differential in the league and have given the football away 11 times on the season, […]

Russell Wilson Goes Back To 2013

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has guided Seattle to wins in three of their last four games, and it's like he's taken a step back in time. When the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in 2013-14, it was on the back of a running game that allowed Wilson to work as an efficient playmaker who […]

Eric Ebron Ready to Get Back on Track Against Raiders

While Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron put up a disappointing three receptions for 31 yards against the Buffalo Bills last week, his share of the receiving targets remained at a lofty and team-leading 30.4 percent. Fantasy owners may be hesitant to start Ebron given wide receiver T.Y. Hilton's improving health and No. 1 tight […]

Mike Davis Will See Questionable Amount Of Work

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis is stuck in limbo. He's the retread who hasn't been the team's starter besides the game against Arizona, and he's stuck between the expected starter (Chris Carson) and highly-touted rookie (Rashaad Penny). When Carson was out for a week, the team leaned on Davis and he shined. The following […]

T.Y. Hilton Draws Great Matchup Against Oakland

What could have been a disappointing return for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton last week was salvaged by two touchdown receptions. Although Hilton played only 53-percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 7, his six targets inside of the 10-yard line on the year should inspire confidence that he will produce against a […]

Rashaad Penny Is A Decent Deep-League Play

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny is getting the full range of options in the NFL so far. He struggled as the second-stringer at the start of the season, he struggled as the starter for a game, he was relegated to third-string and given no chances in a game, and then he was given […]

Andrew Luck is a Top-10 Option in Week 8

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has thrown for four touchdowns in three of his last four games and has found himself as a top-10 fantasy quarterback over that entire span. One reason for that success has been the Colts' tendency to throw the football inside their opponent's 20-yard line, where Luck currently leads the league […]

Chris Carson Could Be A Good Play In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson looks like he has a dream matchup on the surface this week, but there are some risks associated with that. First, Seattle's coaching staff seems dedicated to using a platoon of 2-3 running backs to handle the carries. Carson has lost carries to both Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny, […]

Theo Riddick Ruled Out For Week 8

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Riddick also missed the game before the team's Week 7 bye, so he doesn't look close to returning and is likely floating on most league's waiver wire by now. Rookie Kerryon Johnson should […]

Jermaine Gresham, Phil Dawson Listed As Questionable

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. Gresham was a new addition to the practice report on Friday but should play as Ricky Seals-Jones' backup. Gresham should be avoided in all leagues. Dawson injured […]

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman Questionable For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Breida continues to fight injuries and played just five offensive snaps last week, so the Niners could elect to rest him even if he's active. Expect […]

Pierre Garcon Doubtful To Face Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The veteran still hasn't scored a touchdown all year and has a low ceiling for fantasy owners. He's a candidate to be left to the waiver wire. In his absence, Marquise […]

Everson Griffen Expected To Return In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who has been away from the team to tend to his mental-health issues in recent weeks, is expected to return and play against the Saints in Week 8. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes (ankle) is questionable to play. Griffen could be on a snap count, but his presence is a huge […]
