Tre'Quan Smith Won't Play Against Seahawks

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Seahawks after missing practice all week. Even had Smith been able to play, he wouldn't have been a realistic option as a flex play with Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill expected to split work under center with Drew […]

Kyle Lewis Has Another Big Night

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis continued an impressive September on Friday night, going 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in a 5-3 losing effort versus the Orioles. The rookie now has six home runs in his first 10 games in the majors, with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored. Only 37%-owned in all […]

Kirk Cousins A Decent QB2 In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is coming off a brutal performance in Week 2, but there's some reason for optimism heading into Week 3. The Raiders have been dreadful against the pass so far, allowing 342.5 yards/game and a 68% completion percentage facing Joe Flacco and Patrick Mahomes. They don't have an imposing pass-rush, either, […]

Tavon Austin Ruled Out Against Dolphins

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Dolphins. Austin holds very little fantasy value to begin with as mostly a kick returner and gadget player for the Cowboys. With Michael Gallup (knee) out two to four weeks, Devin Smith will see the biggest boost in playing […]

Wil Myers Gets the Night Off

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Myers was dealing with an arm issue, but returned to the lineup on Wednesday. This appears to be a routine day off, so hopefully Myers is not injured anymore. Nick Martini will bat second and […]

Tim Locastro Covers Center Field on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro (back) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ketel Marte (back) has been shut down for the rest of the 2019 season. That means Locastro could be seeing a lot of playing time in the outfield down the stretch. Locastro will bat leadoff and […]

Latavius Murray Not A Strong Option In Week 3

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was quiet in Week 2, totaling just seven yards on five carries, and could find himself in a similar situation this week with a tough Seahawks run defense on deck. Murray's value takes a hit with quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) out of the lineup, seeing as he likely […]

Max Kepler is Out Again on Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Kepler has not started in a game since September 14 due to shoulder soreness. The team hasn't updated his status since then, so it's unclear what kind of progress he's making. Ryan LaMarre will bat […]

George Springer Gets the Night Off Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Springer will get a routine rest day here, but should be back in the lineup next game. Jack Marisnick will cover center field and bat ninth versus righty Jaime Barria. Marisnick doesn't have much upside […]

Sterling Shepard Played Through Concussion In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) said he played through a concussion in Week 1 against the Cowboys because he wanted to try and help the team win. Shepard didn't start feeling normal until this week and is off the final injury report for Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Shepard will be the […]

Starling Marte, Josh Bell Remain Out

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) and first baseman Josh Bell (groin) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Both players continue to deal with nagging injuries that may sideline them for the rest of the regular season. The Pirates aren't playing for much, and will likely wait until […]

Jean Segura Scratched on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Indians. He left Thursday's game due to an hamstring issue, but was plugged into the lineup on Friday. However, Segura is dealing with an ankle issue now and didn't feel right during batting practice. Scott Kingery will […]

Danny Amendola A Risky Week 3 Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola came crashing back down to earth in Week 2, seeing only one target compared to 13 in Week 1. Fantasy owners who started Amendola with hopes he would replicate his Week 1 performance were undoubtedly disappointed, but we have now seen what his ceiling and floor are in this […]

Ketel Marte Shut Down for the Season

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (back) is being shut down for the rest of the 2019 season, according to Steve Gilbert. Marte is suffering from a stress reaction in his lower back. The Diamondbacks are hopeful that Marte is not going to need surgery. He'll finish the season batting .329/.389/.592 with 32 home runs and […]

Bo Bichette is Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (concussion) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Bichette was hit in the helmet by a pitch on Thursday and left the game. He won't play on Friday and will be put into the league's concussion protocol. Bichette can be considered day-to-day […]

Jean Segura Will Play Against Indians Friday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Segura was forced to leave early during Thursday's game due to a cramp. He's fine, and will bat fifth and play shortstop versus righty Shane Bieber on Friday. Segura is normally a reliable option at the […]

Ted Ginn Hoping For Better Week 3 Outing

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn accumulated a grand total of zero targets against the Rams in Week 2 after a solid Week 1 performance, and fantasy owners should expect more duds going forward. Ginn, already a boom-or-bust option, finds himself in a tough spot with starting quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) sidelined for the next […]

Aaron Judge is Back in the Lineup Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge jammed his shoulder while diving for a ball during Wednesday's game. He missed Thursday's contest, but is feeling well enough to play on Friday. Judge will bat second and serve as the designated […]

Keenan Allen Cleared For Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (knee) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Texans. Allen's knee injury was minor and just held him out of practice for a couple days. After racking up 16 catches for 221 yards in the first two […]

Mookie Betts Returns to the Lineup on Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This marks the first game that Betts has played in over a week due to a left foot issue. Betts will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter against righty Charlie Morton. Betts is […]

Brad Hand is Available Out of the Bullpen

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Brad Hand (arm) is available out of the bullpen for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Hand hasn't made an appearance out of the bullpen since September 8 due to arm fatigue. He threw off the mound earlier this week and looked fine. He should be ready to come out of […]

Yuli Gurriel Scratched on Friday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (illness) has been scratched from Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Gurriel is dealing with a stomach illness, so he should be out only a day or two. Aledmys Diaz will cover first base and bat sixth versus righty Jaime Barria. Diaz has been cold with the bat […]

Lorenzo Cain is Back in the Lineup on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cain was forced to exit early during Thursday's game due to a minor ankle injury. He'll bat leadoff and play center field versus lefty Steven Brault on Friday. Cain has been fairly average with the bat […]

Kenny Stills' Role Remains Unclear

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught a touchdown in Week 1, but in Week 2 he played just 38 percent of Houston's offensive snaps, turning those 24 plays into two catches for 38 yards. The battle between Stills and Keke Coutee for the third receiver role is a bit of a mess at this […]

Justin Turner Remains Out of the Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Turner has now missed 10 games in a row due to sprained left ankle. Max Muncy will cover third base and bat second versus righty Peter Lambert. Muncy has two hits in his last […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Saints

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Saints after suffering an injury in practice on Friday. Late-week additions to the injury report are never good, putting Penny in real danger of sitting out this Sunday. He was a risky RB3/flex in PPR leagues to begin with […]

Will Fuller Is Boom/Bust Play In Week 3

Heading into Week 3, the story with Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller is essentially the same as it's been all year: his speed makes him a major weapon down the field for quarterback Deshaun Watson, but his lack of targets gives him a lot of risk. Week 2 was a little different, as Jalen […]

David Njoku Lands On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns placed tight end David Njoku (wrist) on Injured Reserve on Friday and claimed safety Juston Burris off waivers from the Raiders in a corresponding move. Njoku had four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in two games before getting injured in the Monday night win over the Jets. We'd recommend keeping […]
