Baker Mayfield Makes NFL Debut On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick, entered the game on Thursday late in the second quarter against the Jets to replace the injured Tyrod Taylor (head). It remains to be seen if Taylor will be cleared to return in the second half, but even if he is, the Browns will […]

Tyrod Taylor Being Evaluated For Concussion

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (head) is being evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half on Thursday against the Jets. Taylor was atrocious in the first two quarters, going 4-for-14 for just 19 yards. He also ran four times for 22 yards. Even if Taylor is cleared to return to this […]

Kyle Rudolph Should Produce In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has had an inconsistent start to the season although he should be able to make his mark in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills. Rudolph is coming off of a seven reception, 72-yard performance in Week 2. The Bills have been touchdown prone through the air in the early […]

Stefon Diggs A Must-Start In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs should be ecstatic about facing the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. The Bills have already allowed six passing touchdowns through two weeks in 2018. Likewise, Diggs has already scored three times in the Vikings' first two games. His combination of top-end speed and precise route-running will give the Bills […]

Adam Thielen A Fantastic Week 3 Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should continue his strong start to the season in Week 3. Thielen already has 233 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets in 2018. He should be able to torch a porous Buffalo Bills secondary that has given up the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL. Thielen has become […]

Latavius Murray Has Increased Value For Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray is primed for a big role in Week 3 if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) remains below 100%. Cook is still questionable at this point, and may not even end up playing. Even if he does play, the Vikings will likely take it easy on their star sophomore. The offense should […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Limited In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is currently questionable for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He will likely be used in a conservative manner even if he does play, which makes him a risky Week 3 option. The Bills are a fantastic fantasy matchup, as they have allowed six rushing TDs through two […]

Travis Kelce a Great Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the Steelers in Week 2. Kelce was quiet during Week 1, but that was likely a fluke performance. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed two touchdowns to tight ends already this […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is ready to eviscerate the lowly Buffalo Bills in Week 3. Cousins is averaging 335 yards and three touchdowns per game so far this season. The Bills secondary has already given up six passing TDs through two weeks, so Cousins and his murderers' row of offensive options should thrive at […]

Sammy Watkins A Solid WR3 for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a rough first week but was able to put together a 100-yard game against the Steelers in Week 2. Watkins has been tough to trust since last season, but hopefully a change in scenery has helped him. He's going up against a 49ers defense that has allowed […]

Tyreek Hill is Elite Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has four touchdowns through the first two games of the regular season. New Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found immediate chemistry with Hill. The Chiefs are heading into a matchup with the 49ers who have allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Both Hill and Mahomes should have […]

Kareem Hunt Should Be Reliable for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has put together one forgettable week and one respectable week through the first two games of the season. It's sometimes tough to know which Hunt you're going to get on a weekly basis. Hunt was able to find room to run against the Steelers last week, so he […]

Patrick Mahomes an Excellent Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first two weeks of the regular season. Mahomes has thrown 10 touchdowns without a single interception through two weeks. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Mahomes should be one of the best fantasy quarterbacks […]

Robert Woods Expected to be Productive in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has seen nine targets in each of the first two weeks of the regular season. It appears that adding wide receiver Brandin Cooks over the offseason has not hurt the value of Woods. He'll go up against a Chargers defense that has allowed 250 passing yards over the […]

Cooper Kupp Has Solid Matchup in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has caught at least five passes for over 50 yards in the first two games of the season. Kupp has maintained fantasy value despite wide receiver Brandin Cooks joining the team over the offseason. Kupp should be in line for a solid game against the Chargers in Week […]

Brandin Cooks Should Be Busy in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has caught at least five passes for over 80 yards or more in the first two games of the season. Cooks should continue to be busy during Week 3 against the Chargers. In Week 1, the Chargers gave up 169 yards and two touchdowns to Tyreek Hill. That […]

Travis Benjamin, Antonio Gates Miss Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) and tight end Antonio Gates (illness) both missed practice on Thursday. Benjamin was limited on Wednesday, so this is surely bad news for his chances of returning in Week 3. Gates is nearing the end of his career and just can't be trusted for fantasy purposes anymore. […]

Todd Gurley Should be Heavily Involved in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has seen at least 19-20 carries during each of the first two weeks. Much like last season, the Rams lean heavily on Gurley and the ability to run the ball. Gurley should continue to see the ball in Week 3 against a Chargers defense that does not defend […]

Richard Sherman, Jaquiski Tartt Sit Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) both missed practice on Thursday. Tartt also missed on Wednesday, so his status isn't looking good for Week 3 against the Chiefs. This is a new injury for Sherman and is concerning considering he missed time last year with an Achilles ailment. If […]

Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has been struggling to be the PPR monster he was in the past. Amendola has only eight catches for 58 yards this year. The yardage isn't all that concerning, but for Amendola to be a productive fantasy player, he needs more receptions. The Dolphins do have a favorable matchup […]

Marquise Goodwin Limited Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goodwin was injured in Week 1 and sat out in Week 2, so he's still looking for his first catch of the season after being a popular breakout candidate in fantasy drafts. If he can return […]

Jared Goff Should Excel in Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has put together two respectable performances through the first two weeks of the regular season. He now heads into a contest against a Chargers defense that's allowed 2.5 passing touchdowns per contest. The Chargers are also without Joey Bosa, so that just adds insult to injury. Goff is averaging […]

Neal Sterling Inactive Thursday

New York Jets tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) is inactive in Week 3 against the Browns on Thursday. Sterling caught three passes on three targets in the season opener but didn't have a single target in Week 2 and can be avoided in fantasy leagues. The Jets tight end situation won't yield much in terms […]

Jarvis Landry Active Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) is active for the Week 3 game against the Jets on Thursday. Landry was never in danger of missing this contest as the team's top receiver. He has a healthy 22 targets through two games and should see even more looks moving forward now that Josh Gordon is […]

DeAndre Hopkins Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had already been limited in practice all week while dealing with thumb and ankle issues, but Thursday's injury report added a new ailment for Houston's star wideout, who was listed as having a hamstring injury as well. With the new injury designation coming so late in the week, Hopkins's […]

Carlos Hyde Expected To Play Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde is expecting the birth of his child on Thursday but is expected to go straight from the hospital to the stadium to play, according to a couple of team sources. Hyde isn't listed among the team's inactives for Thursday's game against the Jets, so they believe he'll be there […]

Frank Gore An Option For Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore has continued to show that he is a viable fantasy option even though he has running back Kenyan Drake taking the majority of touches. Gore had nine carries in both of the first two weeks and it is reasonable to believe that he will continue to receive that many, […]

George Kittle A Strong Week 3 Option

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will look to rebound after a disappointing game last week. He will have a prime opportunity to do so versus a vulnerable Kansas City defense, as the Chiefs have surrendered 20.1 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, which ranks 30th in the NFL. Add in the […]

Pierre Garcon A Fringe Flex Play in Deeper Formats

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon has had a quiet start to the season, averaging just 6.9 fantasy points per game in PPR formats. His Week 3 outlook could depend on the status of teammate Marquise Goodwin. If Goodwin is in the lineup, Garcon’s value takes a considerable hit. Regardless, starting the 32-year-old receiver […]

Marcus Mariota Makes Progress In Practice

Updating previous reports, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) made improvements in Thursday's practice, but offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur said the team will still take it "day by day and see where he is on Sunday." Mariota was able to drive the ball further down the field for the first time since injuring his elbow […]
